No guest today as we are in the middle of the holiday season. Today I talk about how Mercedes-Benz has become the first and only automaker to win regulatory approval for a Level 3 autonomous driving system. Why does it seem that owners of Tesla’s don’t put the front plane on their car in states that it is required? And a person write to me for some help and offered up a funny story of her stolen car and how it helped catch the thieves who stole it. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

Today on the show I have what I think is one of the most powerful interviews I have ever done. Today I speak with Ken Snyder, vehicle Technology Expert and Executive Director of the Shingo Institute at Utah State University. Ken’s adult daughter Katie was killed by a drunk driver in October 2017 right after his daughter gave birth to twin premature babies. That event drove Ken to work to advocate for lifesaving vehicle technology systems to be installed in all new cars, something that is now part of the new infrastructure law signed this week. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

It is a not too distant reality to see a downtown city close off all of the roads to vehicle traffic? Some say that is a good idea. Today I speak to a repeat guest, Emily Kleinfelter, Community Outreach Coordinator for the Denver Streets Partnership who says it is more than bad drivers killing pedestrians and bike riders on city streets. It is also flawed and inequitable street design. Also, why are so many people parking along the road to Denver’s airport? All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

Where are we going to charge all these electric vehicles that are eventually coming to a road near you while you are out and about especially when you are far from your home charging station?

Also, I open the mailbag to answer the question, Why do they put grooves in concrete roads? The answer is interesting and scientific. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.
