Episode Description

The buzz: Beep beep! The evolution / revolution of the connectivity of vehicles is not new, dating back to the first factory-installed car radio (c. 1922?). The future is definitely connected. We may be starting on the curve of a hockey stick with endless possibilities. While it’s hard to argue with the long term value of driverless cars, the biggest gains of applying emerging technology may come with the commercial vehicle. What can businesses and consumers realistically expect and when? The experts speak. John Ellis, former Ford Global Technologist: “You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality” (Ayn Rand) Joe Barkai, Industry Analyst: “When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce” (Marianne Williamson) . Larry Stolle, SAP: “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect” (Mark Twain). Join us for Connected Car Take 2: Race to the Perfect Connected Vehicle.

Archives Available on VoiceAmerica Business Channel

The world of business is being dramatically impacted by the increasing adoption of the Cloud, and by the mainstreaming of new technologies that have hitherto been the domain of imaginative Hollywood films, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, Internet of Things, augmented reality and more.

Join host Bonnie D. Graham as she invites you to take an additional coffee break with game-changers for our series on how modern technology is completely redefining the world of business, on the Future of Business with Game-Changers.

With digital transformation becoming a mission-critical imperative, every company needs to simultaneously chart its future path while keeping an eye on the rear-view mirror to see who’s coming up in the fast lane to overtake them. In many ways, this is making every business a technology business, no matter their size, industry or geographic location.
