ALSO. launches game-changing two-wheeled Software Defined Vehicle. This is not your typical product launch Press Release-based feature. Because what’s being launched is far from your typical product... Simon Cox sat down for a 45-minute 1-to-1 call with Chris Yu, President of Also., to explore the thinking behind the product(s) and how that shapes what is being launched, as well as having a guided tour of features and functions, with ready-to-ride products set for those attending the launch event in San Francisco already in place. https://lnkd.in/edi--sCc

Big news for BlueDriver MAX. At NADA 2026, Repairify announced new integrations expanding the BlueDriver MAX ecosystem, including becoming the first OBD2 device to join the CDK Global Partner Program, the largest third-party marketplace for automotive applications. What this means: diagnostic scan data now lives directly within the CDK Vehicle Inventory Suite, giving dealers more context during appraisals, supporting more informed decisions, and streamlining workflows into one intuitive screen. No jumping between platforms. No disconnected data. Just smarter, faster operations. Learn more about the CDK integration and our NADA announcements here: https://lnkd.in/gcRsPpq2

Agentic AI is a term we’re hearing more and more. But what does it actually mean and why is it something dealers should understand now, not later? This new blog from our US colleagues breaks down agentic AI in plain English, and explains how it goes beyond a single chatbot to coordinate multiple tasks as one joined-up customer conversation. "Think of a standard AI or automated application like a single employee trying to man the phones for sales, service, parts, and finance all at once. They might be good, but they will eventually drown. "Agentic AI changes the game. It isn’t one overwhelmed bot. It’s a coordinated team of specialized agents within a single, centralized platform. Each agent has a specific job." Scroll down and click the link to learn more.

🎉 HUGE news live from SEMA → Revv just launched 3 new products that completely change how shops handle ADAS repairs, billing, and insurance workflows. Meet the new lineup: - Claims Builder - Advanced Billing System, and - Integrations Ecosystem Here's what we're solving: Collision repair has hit a tipping point. Shops are now hiring 3x times as many admins as technicians just to keep up with documentation and ADAS claim requirements. That’s backwards. It’s time to fix the process of fixing cars: - Claims Builder automatically compiles OEM repair procedures, technician notes, calibration results, and photos into a single, insurer-ready report. - Advanced Billing System lets shops create and send invoices directly from Revv, with calibration details auto-filled. - Integrations Ecosystem syncs calibration data directly into the tools shops and insurers already use: from major estimatics platforms to diagnostic hardware, back office systems, documentation aggregators and more. This is the biggest day in Revv's history and I couldn't be prouder of the team for bringing this vision to life. Plus, we're here at SEMA this week showcasing all 3 products. Come see the future of ADAS at Booth #30203 💙

Here's what nearly 20 years in automotive taught me: Data without action is just expensive storage. Industry leaders are shifting focus from building bigger AI models to implementing AI that solves real problems. For dealerships, this means: ✓ Stop collecting data you don't use ✓ Start automating processes that drain your time ✓ Focus on AI that improves customer experience ✓ Measure results, not just activity The most successful dealerships I work with aren't the ones with the most sophisticated systems. They're the ones using simple AI to do important things consistently. #dealermedics #datadriven #automotive #efficiency #customerexperience

Waymo in Complex Traffic Conditions. I had the pleasure of testing Waymo again—this time in dense evening traffic in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. And honestly, I keep getting more impressed. Many drivers in LA push the limits—ignoring rules and driving aggressively just to get ahead.Waymo handled the situation with ease. It made confident lane changes in tight traffic when it could speed up the ride—just like a highly experienced taxi driver would.At this point, I actually feel safer with Waymo than with a human driver—even myself. And that says something, considering I’ve driven nearly a million kilometers without ever causing an accident. Meanwhile, Waymo is rapidly expanding across the U.S.—already operating in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, Austin, and Atlanta. They’ve even begun testing internationally in Tokyo. But there’s no rollout planned in Europe yet, simply because the legal framework isn’t in place. That’s a real shame.The technology is here. It works. It’s safer than most people realize. But until European legislation catches up, we’ll be watching this future unfold from the sidelines.

It’s safe to say that autonomous trucks have officially arrived. Gatik, a California-based autonomous trucking company, has announced that it’s brought in more than $600 million in contracted revenue. Let that figure sink in. Yes. We’ve heard plenty about the potential and efficiency of driverless trucks. And numerous companies are in the testing phase of these vehicles. But Gatik is the first company in North America to deploy fully driverless trucks at scale, and is making money doing it. The company’s CEO said it best: Autonomous trucks are “no longer a promise. It’s a business.” The company has completed 60,000 fully driverless orders without any issues. Gatik will soon have 60 trucks on the roads and will have “hundreds” by the end of the year. So, no. It’s not a massive fleet. Spotting them on highways is still very much a novelty. It will take a while before we see Gatik significantly expand and for other companies to catch up. For now, we’re seeing proof of concept, which is what will enable that scale. https://lnkd.in/d2GtAqJ3 #AV #avtrucks #automomoustrucks
