Are electric SUVs the road warriors of tomorrow? Let's cruise into the future with Scout Motors Inc., Volkswagen's electrifying revival. This week on the Tech Mobility Show, I, Ken Chester, steer into the electrified landscape of automotive innovation. We take a pit stop at the challenges and opportunities for Volkswagen's Scout brand as it charges into the electric SUV market, pitting itself against titans like Jeep and Ford Bronco. The conversation shifts gears to a candid discussion on the non-union manufacturing move and what it spells for the industry.

What happens when CARFAX, that industry titan of vehicle accident and maintenance records, gets it WRONG about your car?  One woman's experience maybe a cautionary tale to take heed.

Hold onto your seatbelts as we navigate the unnerving twists and turns of AI-generated deepfakes. The digital age has thrown up a roadblock in identity verification, and I'm here to map out the detours. From the dark alleys of phishing emails to the biometric boulevard, we explore the high-speed chase between cybercriminals and the guardians of online security. It's a race where the ingenuity of facial recognition is pitted against the cunning of deepfake technology, and only the most innovative will cross the finish line unscathed.

Finally, let's pop the hood on vehicle maintenance, where ignorance isn't bliss—it's a breakdown waiting to happen. I'll pass on some mechanic's wisdom, guiding you through the essential checkpoints of brake noise diagnosis, battery lifespan, and the often-overlooked cabin filter. You'll learn how to keep your tires, shocks, and wipers in top-notch condition, ensuring a smooth ride and clear vision on the road.
