Gravitas Detroit founder Jan Griffiths is the architect of cultural change. Whether on stage, walking the shop floor, or behind the microphone as the host of the Automotive Leaders Podcast, Jan has become the industry's most significant force for authentic leadership, a style of leadership that demolishes old silos and antiquated principals, building up trust and inspiration in their place.   Jan joins AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony to discuss why she left her high-powered executive role, why a culture overhaul in automotive is necessary, and why having her daughter's support means everything to her.

While consumers may not understand all the jargon, quirks, and idiosyncrasies of the automotive industry, their interests are piqued once they have a basic definition of a connected car and its potential benefits. However, that interest only extends so far, as consumers view certain connected car features and capabilities as more valuable than others.   This realization is among the key findings in a body of research from Salesforce in partnership with YouGov, released in January 2024, that surveyed nearly 2,200 U.S. drivers aged 18 and over. In this solo episode, AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony summarizes the findings of this Salesforce study on connected cars and shares key insights from the survey on which features consumers will either pay more money or trade their personal data for.  More Resources  On Automotive Cloud 9 ft.

Connected cars are forecasted to make up 95 percent of all vehicles on the road by 2030, with each one generating an estimated 25 gigabytes of data per hour – as much data as it would take someone to stream nearly 600 hours of music. How such data may be leveraged for new revenue channels through personalized, value-added features is a prime area of focus for the automotive industry.  Achyut Jajoo, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Manufacturing and Automotive at Salesforce, joins Carl to discuss the relationship between connected cars and the Automotive Cloud, how the industry can enhance its communication with customers, and the promise that software-defined vehicles represent.  Carl and Achyut also travel back to 1999 to the founding of Salesforce in San Francisco and reminisce about fond memories of learning to drive when they were teenagers.  The History of Salesforce: http://tinyurl.com/5f77at7j   Salesforce Automotive Cloud Helps Deliver the Future of Connected Cars with Data & AI: http://tinyurl.com/tb6xz95c   2024 Salesforce Connected Car Study Reveals Features Consumers Will Pay a Premium or Trade Personal Data For:http://tinyurl.com/m9fss8tn   Follow AutoVision News on LinkedIn: https://tinyurl.com/49jyrd3b
