Have you ever wondered what it would be like to cruise down Rodeo Drive in a Rolls Royce or Bentley, race through Monaco in a Bugatti or Lamborghini, or live out your James Bond fantasies in a specially equipped Aston Martin?

With a long history of advanced auto manufacturing and highly integrated transportation systems, Europe and the United Kingdom are global leaders in multi-modal mobility for both people and goods.
In this episode of MOTIVE, we’re going abroad to better understand the mega issues impacting mobility in Europe for business and consumers, and how they may or may not differ from other markets like North America.
With hundreds of billions of dollars in investment and dozens of new models on the horizon, the electric vehicle revolution is on the roll. But as with many technological revolutions, the outcome isn’t always certain and there may big hurdles to overcome.
For this episode of MOTIVE, we’re going to get charged up. Or more accurately, we’re going to explore what it will take to move towards electric mobility. We’re going to hear what automakers, utilities, regulators, recyclers, and consumers have to do now to get ready for a cleaner, electrified, and charged up future.
Our connected future: cars that connect and communicate with drivers, each other, and even the road. This future of highly connected modes of mobility will be here sooner than we think and major players are fast at work today to be ready for it.
In part two of our discussion on connectivity, we’re pleased to pick up where we left off in our conversation with GEOTAB, a global leader in telemetry and vehicle connectivity.
Our guests are Colin Sutherland, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing at GEOTAB and Craig Pierce, Vice President of US Sales at ARI.
It goes without saying that our lives have become increasingly connected. From our phones, devices, streaming services, and with the pandemic, the ubiquitous Zoom calls and video conferences.
So, it should be no surprise then that our vehicles have also become more connected--from GPS to in-cab infotainment systems, and even safety and emergency support.
There’s a whole lot of technology behind that connectivity and a whole of lot of opportunity, too. This episode of MOTIVE features global telematics leader GEOTAB as we explore the future of the connected car and the opportunities that are available today.
