Why You Need a Lawyer in Your Car w/ Jazz Hampton
Ever been pulled over and wish you had a lawyer with you? That dream is now a reality. Jazz Hampton is the CEO and co-founder of TurnSignl, an on-demand, real-time service that provides 24/7 legal guidance from an attorney to drivers while their camera records the interaction. When drivers are stopped by law enforcement officers or involved in a car accident, they can access live video chat with an attorney at the press of a button or voice command. TurnSignl attorneys are vetted and trained to de-escalate interactions between police, drivers, and passengers. No one likes getting pulled over but for some people, a misstep can turn into an unnecessary altercation or worse. Jazz's goal is to reduce the chances of that happening so that both citizen and officer feel safer. https://www.turnsignl.com/Read more about it here: https://www.startribune.com/turnsignl-co-founder-jazz-hampton-knows-firsthand-what-its-like-to-be-a-statistic/600205263/Recorded November 11, 2022 Get 20% Off and Free Shipping at manscaped.com/tire Use Off The Record! and ALWAYS fight your tickets!

Why autonomous cars, Uber, & e-scooters won't fix transportation
Paris Marx, is the author of the incredible book, "Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation". In it, Paris does a comprehensive analysis of the recent wave of "new" mobility solutions created by the tech industry. From Uber to e-scooters to tunnels, and cars that are "autonomous" or can fly, the tech industry has promised to solve all of our traffic issues. But have they? Can they? The book does an excellent job at looking at numerous recent transportation trends and showing what they promised to do, if they succeeded, and whether the ideas are new at all. It also looks at the larger macro effects some companies have had on our lives and politics, and what we could be doing better. On this episode we talk about why bigger freeways don't help congestion; how Uber made things worse; why the tunnels were really built; the brief life of autonomous cars; and what we should do better to improve live for everyone.https://www.versobooks.com/books/3995-road-to-nowherehttps://parismarx.com/@parismarxRecorded November 3, 2022 Go to HelloFresh.com/smokingtire65 and use code smokingtire65 for 65% off plus free shipping!
