THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #316
The last episode of the year gears us up for the shifts in the automotive industry for 2018. We begin the show with automotive journalist, BJ Killeen, who reviews the new Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade. Next, technology expert, John Ellis, discusses his new book, The Zero Dollar Car. He explains how our cars will have the potential to use data tracking monetarily, and in turn, pay for themselves. Then, Karl Brauer of Kelley Blue Book sounds off about the North American Car, Utility, and Truck of the Year Awards (NACTOY), and discusses the future of autonomous automotive technology. We end the hour with Dan Sandberg of Brembo North America who tells us that he sees a solid future for electronic brakes and their company is working hard to stay ahead of the game. Listen now.
