Jill is back in the co-host seat this week, having spent some time in Canada intentionally driving Volvo vehicles in snow and on ice. Tom opens the show with a mea culpa. Listen in to see what he got wrong last week. The hosts discuss a number of news items, including some reported delays in the delivery of Tesla's newly discounted Cybertruck , Lamborghini backing away from electric vehicles, and the proposed Jay Leno Law. Listen in for the whole story. Still in the first segment, Jill reviews Toyota's new bZ Woodland, an electric vehicle with an off-road vibe. In the second segment, Jill and Tom are joined by Ken Chester, host of the Tech Mobility Podcast. Ken share his take on the the next stages of automotive computerization, and what, exactly, is meant by "software-defined vehicle." It's a good conversation.
