Immersive infotainment and navigation systems, robust powertrains and propulsion technologies, and autonomous vehicles are pushing the envelope regarding current bandwidth and data capacities. When we consider the "vehicle of tomorrow," what is the solution for the automotive industry when such data capacities reach their threshold?

John Simon, Product and Applications Manager at Intrepid Control Systems, joins us for this episode of AutoVision News Radio. He provides insight into how automotive Ethernet is evolving and why participation in organizations like IEEE and the OPEN Alliance are pathways to success. As a co-author of Automotive Ethernet—The Definitive Guide, John shares more about his contributions to this helpful resource for industry professionals.

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.
