The Drive EP 15 - Are Winter Tires Important, and In-Car Surveillance with Michael Harley

Описание: This episode we speak with Michael Harley on the importance and technology behind winter tires. Tires are an important piece of your driving, especially in the winter. And interview the Product Manager from Bridgestone, Todd Chapman on new tires technology.

We also talk about proposed kill switches for new cars, which leave an opportunity for automated systems to shut off your car when it thinks you're being dangerous.

Plus Flock traffic cameras tracking you in your car, and that data being sold off. And you get no say!
