    Autonomous Vehicle Technology

    Self-driving vehicles are increasingly entering our roadways. Robotaxis from Waymo and Zoox are currently on US roads delivering passengers from place to place within very specific geofenced areas. The technology within those vehicles is what makes them tick, and on this episode, we talk with the two companies making robotaxis a reality.

    Solid-State Batteries

    There's a piece of technology that many say will bring EVs into the mainstream. It's solid-state batteries. With incredible energy density, these batteries can be smaller, charge quicker, and for those concerned about fires, are less prone to thermal runaway events. That means lighter cars that charge as quickly as a gas car refuels.  Unfortunately, the technology needed to make Solid-state batteries mainstream and ready for mass production always feels at least a few years away. On this episode, we talk with Honda about its solid-state technology and plans and what it means for the industry as a whole.

    Additive Manufacturing

    One of the more interesting aspects of automotive production and design over the past decade is additive manufacturing. While most of what we hear about the process involves traditional 3D printing, it's a far more complex and nuanced part of the design and manufacturing process. This month we explore how companies like GM, Stratasys, and DuPont are developing and using additive manufacturing.

    EV Manufacturing

    This month, Senior Editor Chris Clonts speaks with Voltaiq CEO Tal Sholklapper about what his battery analysis company observes in American manufacturers. Sustainability Editor Roberto Baldwin sits down with Jerald Roach, head of department, general assembly at Hyundai’s new EV-building metaplant. And Editor-in-Chief Sebastian Blanco goes deep with Andreas Letsch, director of the Battery Factory Automation Center of Competence at Bosch Rexroth AG about the company’s new motion capabilities that can make battery manufacturing more efficient. In addition to sharing information about their latest technologies, the guests also share information on entering their respective fields and the excitement that the transition to electrification has created.

    The State of EVs

    The past few months have been chaotic for the electric vehicle transition. The federal tax credits are set to end, and tariffs seem to change from week to week. For this month's episode, we wanted to know what's the state of EVs directly from the mouths of companies building and moving forward with EV roadmaps. We talked to BMW about its new iX3 while at IAA in Munich, Germany, and Slate Motors after visiting the automotive startup's factory in Indiana.
