In September 2024, AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony attended a Tech Day hosted by Magna International in Troy, Michigan. During the outing, Magna innovations like ClearView and EtelligentCommand showed why creativity is one of the essential brushstrokes when painting the picture of the "future of mobility."    Tom Rucker, President of Magna's Power & Vision and Complete Vehicles groups, joins Carl to discuss how the global supplier strategically and creatively positions its product lineup to enable some of the automotive industry's most ambitious goals, from safety to sustainability. Tom shares how Magna combines its global presence with its startup mindset to offer cutting-edge innovations that address key challenges for the OEMs while also providing end consumers with an efficient, fun-to-drive vehicle. Inspired by his longtime love for trucks, Carl also provides a comprehensive overview of Magna's ClearView and EtelligentCommand.

Since 2018, there has been $160 billion in investment dollars linked to electric vehicles in North America, based on data from the Center for Automotive Research (2024 CAR Book of Deals). For EVs to reach their full potential, consumers must have complete faith and confidence in the charging infrastructure. Like how consumers think nothing of a gas pump when they pull up, building that same level of trust with charging stations is imperative.    Elaina Farnsworth, co-founder and CEO of SkillFusion, joins Carl to discuss a significant (and perhaps overlooked) opportunity for skilled trade professionals as more EVs populate our roadways. Elaina and her team at SkillFusion are building the talent pipeline of certified electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) workers through its EVSE Diagnostic Technician (EDT) Program. This robust talent pool will ultimately ensure charging stations across the United States are operational and reliable, increasing consumer confidence in EVs.  Elaina shares more insight into the EDT program, how she and her fellow co-founder saw a unique need, and why "playing with computers" has always served her well.   More Resources:  SkillFusion’s EVSE Diagnostic Technician (EDT) Certification Program: https://tinyurl.com/52u4ct35  National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/nevi/  Uplift San Bernardino: https://upliftsb.org/  Pushing The Needle Forward ft.

A recent survey reveals that nearly 80% of Gen Z loves driving, showing a strong interest in collector cars. This generation is being influenced by social media, films, and video games, connecting them to automotive culture. The conversation dives into the contrast between Gen Z's passion for classic cars and the preference for modern SUVs. It also emphasizes the importance of preserving automotive history and how younger drivers are navigating a changing landscape of car ownership.

If we had only a handful of words to define the trajectory of our lives, what words would we choose? Inspired by her parents, who immigrated to the United States, and her years as a mechanical engineer, Anne Partington, Managing Director of the Tauber Institute for Global Operations at the University of Michigan, encourages us to find those few special words that truly define us.  With extensive automotive industry experience, Anne has held leadership roles in product development, program management, and global supply chain at General Motors and Stellantis where she led a $3.5 billion mechatronics global purchasing team. She has also led an automobility technology commercialization program at the University of Michigan. Anne holds a BSE in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan and an MSES in Management of Technology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.  Anne joins AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony to discuss the value of family and inclusion, why placing ourselves where the work is getting done matters, and why advocating for the next generation is vital.    More Resources: Tauber Institute for Global Operations at the University of Michigan: https://tauber.umich.edu/    Automotive Women's Alliance Foundation: https://awafoundation.org/  Leave No Woman Behind ft.
