There’s never a dull moment in the automotive industry — recalls to new technology, debuting vehicles to car shows. In many ways, the world revolves around transportation.
Co-hosts Bruch Aldrich and James Raia discuss several issues in episode #80 of The Weekly Driver Podcast.
As an weekly automotive columnist for Bay Area News Group (the San Jose Mercury and East Bay Times in Walnut Creek), I periodically receive letters from readers. Last week, two letters referenced my recent review of the 2019 Toyota Camry. Another reader emailed asking advice about her ailing more than 20-year-old Ford Escort. Bruce has the perfect answers.
We also discuss several other topics:
* The latest maneuverings of Elon Musk, the always controversial founder of Tesla;
* The new automotive season at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. It will conclude in September with the return of IndyCar racing;
* A recap of our recent visit to the GTU Technology Conference in San Jose, California.
The Weekly Driver encourages and appreciates feedback from our listeners.
