Launching A New (Auto Collabs), Gaming While Driving & Old Designs Made New

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier

We love days like today. For one, we are wheels up to Philly to keep scoping everything out for you with a great ASOTU CON in mind. And two…we are meeting Michael Cirillo there, because “why not!?” Today we give you more insight into our newest podcast launching, gaming coming a lot closer to vehicle screens, and celebration of history in design by Hyundai with their new concept car.

• Auto Collabs: Real Talk Conversations with Innovators
• The walls are closing in on Franchised Retail Auto Dealers as the industry is moving at break-neck velocity toward a new way of doing business. The convergence of economic and social volatility, new entrants like Tesla and Carvana, and the new rules of retail are putting Auto Dealers in a crucible that will either destroy them or refine them.
  Auto Collabs brings you deep into real-talk conversations with the brightest operators and innovators in the Retail Auto Industry who believe the Dealer network is the single greatest way to serve the transportation needs of communities across the country. The only way Retail Auto Dealers and Industry Partners will survive is by committing to innovate together, so let’s get started. Welcome to Auto Collabs.
• Gaming engine, Steam, to be running on Tesla’s soon
  • Steam is a gaming platform that boasts over 30 games and allows users to buy, sell, download, play, connect w other users, share, and monetize

• Musk still hasn’t followed through on promises to bring Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher to newer Model S and X vehicles, which come outfitted with an AMD Ryzen processor and a discrete AMD RDNA 2 GPU. But a potential Steam integration could be an indication that Tesla’s inching closer to its goal.
• Take away: Vehicles are becoming an ever more seamless experience with the rest of digital life
  
• Hyundai working to recapture the magic of car culture through new eyes with the RN22e and the N Vision 74
  • According to Hyundai, the RN22e has a 77.4kWh battery with 400 or 800V fast multi-charging capability, as well as a maximum speed of over 250kph (155mph). And if you want to indulge in what Hyundai describes as an “emotional driving experience,” you can take advantage of the RN22e’s N Sound Plus feature that generates fake engine sounds as you drive.
  • The N 74 was modeled after the concept 1974 Pony Coupe who was designed by the man who went on to design the Delorean
  • Do yourself a favor and watch the 10 minute release video
  • Take away: Car culture isn’t dying, it just needs some new context
