Read More After I published AI is the New Netflix, Surj Patel, a former colleague, intellectual sparring partner, and long-time reader, asked a sharp question. Given my argument that AI will drive the next wave of upstream traffic, are we headed toward more of a superscaled peer-to-peer model, away from the hub-and-spoke, client-server architecture that underlies the web? And what technologies or business models does that require? AI, as we have come to know it, will seep into everything the way cloud and mobile did. It has to, because we are incapable of processing the machine-scale information, data, and processes of the post-digital world at a human scale. The client-server model was built for human-scale consumption. A person makes a request. A server answers. The session ends. That worked for so long. But now it doesn’t. Everything is always on, and needs to be in touch with other devices, software, storage and servers all the time. Whether it is security updates in our home routers, or resident intelligence in the security camera, everything will happen in an invisible fashion. Every simple thing is so big and complex. It’s really strange to think we are still looking for the big bang app, when what’s actually happening is a death by a thousand cuts. Each small upstream flow (your doorbell, your connected car, your AI assistant syncing its context, your workflow checking in with a model) is individually negligible. Together, as I wrote in the upload nation piece and then again in Say Hello to the Internet of AI, they are changing the network from the edges. So yes, the direction is toward something more distributed. But I would resist

President Donald Trump returns from China today alongside a who’s who in his cabinet and some of the most recognizable faces in American business like Elon Musk and Jensen Huang. While details were thin on any actual dealmaking to emerge from the two-day trip, Trump left with an air of positivity and hinted at more to come. The visit raised a central tension for American businesses, investors, and policymakers that isn’t going away anytime soon: how to manage China’s growing prowess and relevance in sectors like the auto industry. Thanks to government investment, China’s auto industry produces more cars than any other country. And, increasingly, those cars are higher value electric vehicles that have uptake across the rest of the world. Leaders across government and the private sector know this is a problem, but they have yet to grapple fully with the potential collision course ahead as Chinese EVs—and indeed cleantech more broadly—increasingly put pressure on American companies. As Trump floated the idea of China ramping up investment in the U.S. ahead of the summit, industry executives balked, including and especially executives from the auto sector, alongside legislators and other influential officials. On April 29, a bipartisan group of members of congress, for example, pushed a measure to codify restrictions on imports of internet-connected vehicles from countries that pose a national security risk, targeting China. Opponents of Chinese cars have also suggested that the administration could extend and raise the existing 100% tariffs on Chinese cars or introduce a full ban. Future Proof WeeklyMaking sense of the energy and climate economy. Even if Chinese investment could be a boon for the U.S. economy, China trade hawks argue, the companies that would set up shop and the technologies they would bring would likely harm American incumbents and undercut labor standards. Furthermore,

Heavy competition and a price war have resulted in electric vehicles (EVs) in China costing one-fifth of the price of an average new car in the United States. So, one could purchase five EVs in China for the same price as one new U.S. vehicle on average, Reuters reports. The list price of an average new car in the United States in March was $51,456, according to Kelley Blue Book. That compares to more than 200 battery-powered models in China, including hybrids, that cost less than $25,000, according to DCar, an information and trading platform. Using DCar data, Reuters compiled a list of the five best-selling EVs in China with starting prices under $12,000 — all small EVs with various driving ranges. One, the Geely EX2, priced at $10,060, has advanced features, including a front trunk, storage compartments throughout the cabin, a 14.6-inch central touchscreen, and a 255-mile range. These vehicles are not available in the United States. Chinese car companies have effectively been banned from selling vehicles in the United States due to policies enacted by the Biden administration, citing national security concerns about the ability of Chinese vehicles to collect sensitive data on American owners. In 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce finalized a prohibition on the import of Chinese and Russian connected vehicle software and hardware. And, legislation has been introduced in the Senate that would codify that Commerce Department ban. The Connected Vehicle Security Act, cosponsored by Senators Bernie Moreno and Elissa Slotkin, would fully ban autos, parts, and vehicle software made in China or in partnership with China from the U.S. auto market. The United States has also applied large tariffs to vehicles imported from China. Via Reuters, in March, major auto trade groups urged the Trump administration to keep Chinese automakers out of the

Key Takeaways China’s electric and gas vehicles are not currently being sold in the United States, but they are being sold in Mexico and Canada. The United States has kept Chinese vehicles out of this country through bans on Chinese connected software and hefty tariffs. Chinese automakers are using AI to make cars friendlier to the consumer as part of China’s five-year plan. The success of Chinese car sales in Mexico has leaders in the United States concerned about the national security and economic consequences of increased sales in North America. Canada has opened its market to a limited number of Chinese vehicles, the result of a trade deal between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and China. Tariffs will drop to 6.1% from 100% for 49,000 electric vehicles under the pact, which should help China offload some of the vehicles it is now producing in surplus.

This week, as President Trump was in China for a two-day summit with Xi Jinping, U.S. Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI-06) called on the president to keep his word to the American people and not allow China to manufacture in the U.S. or let Chinese car companies disrupt the American auto industry. Congresswoman Dingell helped spearhead a bipartisan legislative effort alongside Congressman John Moolenaar (R-MI-04), Chairman of the Select Committee on China. The duo introduced the Connected Vehicle Security Act, legislation that would prohibit the importation, manufacture, and sale of connected vehicles, software, and hardware linked to China. ICYMI, media coverage of their bipartisan efforts can be found below: Bipartisan lawmakers from Michigan on Tuesday announced legislation that would ban Chinese-made “connected vehicles,” software and hardware from the U.S. market, ahead of President Donald Trump’s meeting this week with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Rep. John Moolenaar, R-Mich., chairman of the House Select Committee on China, and Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., rolled out the “Connected Vehicle Security Act,” [...] that would codify Biden-era connected vehicle restrictions over national security and data collection concerns. Connected vehicles have internet access and wireless connectivity with other cars or trucks, technology that supporters say can enhance roadway safety. “We are not competing on a level playing field when China subsidizes its manufacturers, it manipulates its currency [and] it uses slave labor. That’s not a level playing field,” Dingell said in a press conference Tuesday announcing the bill. “What [China is] trying to do is to get inside our country and fight us from within." A bipartisan duo of Michigan lawmakers is backing a push to ban Chinese vehicles from the United States, adding yet more force behind a widespread effort to keep President Donald Trump from opening the American marketplace to a major competitive threat.

By Kyle Pollock, director of sales, Volteras Fleet telematics is undergoing its biggest shift since the first GPS tracking boxes were bolted into dashboards 30 years ago. What began as a hardware‑led industry - defined by wired devices, manual installations and vehicle‑agnostic sensors - is now being reshaped by connected vehicles, cloud platforms due to the rapid transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric vehicles (EVs). Over the next decade, connected vehicle telematics will outstrip wired telematics as the primary foundation for fleet insight by the structural change in how vehicles are built, powered and managed. This spells the beginning of a new hierarchy. Traditional wired telematics evolved to solve ICE‑specific problems and became the operating system of fleet management—powering routing, safety, compliance, maintenance, and utilization across mixed fleets, but this model is now changing with the advent of vehicle electrification. The rise of the connected vehicle Modern vehicles - especially EVs - are software‑defined platforms, designed from the outset to be connected, updatable and data‑rich. Connected vehicle telematics are built into the vehicle at the factory to include embedded cellular connectivity, native sensors and controllers, OEM‑managed cloud platforms and secure APIs that expose vehicle data externally. This fundamentally changes where telematics value is created. Instead of extracting data from hardware installed after manufacture, connected telematics generate data as part of the vehicle’s design. That distinction matters in an electric vehicle world. EVs shift the focus from engines to batteries ICE fleet telematics revolved around engines: RPMs, fuel burn, oil temperature, fault codes. EVs remove much of that complexity and replace it with batteries, power electronics, and thermal systems. The most valuable EV data includes the State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH), battery degradation trends and charging behaviour and efficiency as well as more traditional items

Apple’s digital car key rollout just reached another major luxury automaker, as Porsche now officially supports Apple Wallet car keys on its latest electric vehicles, giving drivers a faster way to lock, unlock, and start their cars using an iPhone or Apple Watch. The feature is now available on the 2026 Porsche Macan Electric, while the upcoming 2026 Cayenne Electric will gain support when deliveries begin later this year. Porsche had already confirmed support for Apple’s car key system, but the feature only started appearing widely after the Macan EV became available in more markets. Apple’s Wallet car key system has expanded slowly since launch, but momentum picked up over the past year as brands like Toyota and Rivian added support. Porsche now joins that growing list, while General Motors still has not rolled out support for Chevrolet, Cadillac, or GMC despite earlier promises. Porsche explains the feature in its official support documentation: “The Porsche Digital Key is a digital car key on your mobile device that you can use to lock, unlock and start your Porsche conveniently and securely. You can also share the digital key securely with others, making access easy and flexible.” The company says the feature works with compatible iPhone, Apple Watch, and Android devices, though users must first complete several setup requirements, including an active Porsche ID, Porsche Connect services, Bluetooth enabled, and the physical key inside the vehicle during setup. Which Porsche models support Apple Wallet car key? Right now, Porsche supports the feature on: - 2026 Porsche Macan Electric - 2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric Porsche also notes that the Macan Electric requires the “Porsche Digital Key” equipment option, while the Cayenne Electric includes it as standard equipment.

It’s a mystery on the streets of New York City. What traffic law violator with unpaid fines is driving a black Pontiac Trans Am that looks like the car with the talking computer from the 1980s TV series “Knight Rider,” and even has the same license plate? Officials at an Illinois museum are among the people who would like to know. The Volo Museum near Chicago, which has a replica of the show’s Trans Am that hasn’t moved from its exhibit in years, recently received a $50 traffic ticket from the Big Apple, alleging its car was doing 36 mph (59 kph) in a 25 mph (40 kph) zone in Brooklyn on April 22. The ticket came complete with traffic camera photos showing a black Trans Am with the California license plate KNIGHT, the same plate as the car on the show and the novelty one on the museum’s unregistered car. The license plate is also connected to five other unpaid traffic violations in New York City since late 2024, city records show. How the city linked the plate to the museum was not immediately clear. City officials did not immediately respond to email and phone messages Wednesday. “The fact that we’re legally tied to a movie prop is interesting,” said Jim Wojdyla, the museum’s marketing director. “We’re known for having our Hollywood cars from TV and movies, but I have no idea how we got registered from a ticket in New York to the plates in California to the Volo Museum in Illinois. We’re still trying to figure it out.” The museum has requested a hearing challenging the ticket. “It’s really amusing,” Wojdyla said. “We want to find out who this Knight Rider guy is because, birds of a feather.

TORRANCE, Calif. — Honda made a forceful case Wednesday that the hybrid engine, not the battery-electric vehicle, will define the near future of American driving — announcing plans to introduce 15 new hybrid models across its Honda and Acura brands globally by 2030, with North America as the primary target market. The announcements came during a global business briefing held in Japan, where Honda’s chief executive, Toshihiro Mibe, signaled a deliberate reallocation of engineering and manufacturing resources away from the company’s earlier electric-vehicle timeline and toward what he described as the more immediate path to reducing emissions at scale. “We have made steady progress in the development of hybrid vehicle technologies, where Honda has strengths,” Mibe said, “based on our belief that hybrid models will continue to be the key to addressing environmental challenges.” Two concept vehicles anchored the briefing: a next-generation Acura Hybrid SUV Prototype and a Honda Hybrid Sedan Prototype. Neither is a production model, but both are designed to preview the direction Honda intends to pursue with an entirely new hybrid platform and powertrain architecture that the company expects to begin rolling out in 2027. The engineering claims attached to that new system are significant. Honda says it has developed a next-generation version of its two-motor hybrid system — an arrangement the company has refined over more than a decade across models like the Accord and CR-V — that will improve fuel economy by more than 10 percent compared with current-generation hybrids while simultaneously cutting system costs by 30 percent. A newly developed electric all-wheel-drive unit is also part of the package, promising more precise torque delivery to individual wheels than is possible through conventional mechanical systems. For Acura, which has remained largely on the periphery of the electrification conversation while luxury rivals moved aggressively into battery-electric

California regulators have announced a major privacy settlement with General Motors (GM) over allegations that the company unlawfully sold the location and driving data of hundreds of thousands of Californians to two data brokers: Verisk Analytics and LexisNexis Risk Solutions. The settlement, subject to court approval, requires GM to pay $12.75 million in civil penalties and imposes significant restrictions on how the company may use, retain, and share consumer driving data. According to the complaint, GM collected the data through OnStar and allegedly failed to provide adequate notice to consumers, despite statements suggesting that driving and location data would not be sold or would only be disclosed for insurance purposes at the consumer’s direction. The settlement highlights the growing privacy risks associated with connected vehicles. As San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins stated, “Modern cars are rolling data collection machines.” Location data can reveal highly sensitive details about a person’s daily life, including where they live, work, worship, receive medical care, or take their children to school. California officials alleged that GM retained driving and location data longer than necessary and then sold it to data brokers that intended to use it for driver-rating products marketed to auto insurers. Although investigators determined that California drivers were likely not subject to increased premiums because California law restricts the use of driving data for insurance rates, the alleged conduct still raised serious concerns under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California’s Unfair Competition Law. The settlement is especially notable because it is the California Department of Justice’s first enforcement action focused on the CCPA’s data minimization principle. Under the settlement terms, GM must stop selling driving data to consumer reporting agencies for five years, delete retained driving data within 180 days except for limited internal uses or where consumers provide affirmative,

AAA: 968,000 Hoosiers to Travel for Memorial Day Weekend Record travel expected nationally, but higher costs slow year over year growth AAA expects nearly 45 million Americans to travel over the Memorial Day holiday, the highest total on record. However, year-over-year growth is slowing with some states seeing small declines. AAA projects 968,000 Hoosiers will travel at least 50 miles from home for Memorial Day weekend, setting a new record for the holiday including those traveling by auto and other modes. The travel period includes five days, beginning on the Thursday before Memorial Day and ending on Monday. Most Indiana travelers will take road trips, with more than 877,000 expected to drive. Nearly 52,000 will fly, a slight dip from 2025, while more than 106,000 will travel by other modes such as bus, train, or cruise. “Even as overall Memorial Day travel hits new highs nationally, air travel is slightly down in Indiana as travelers are weighing costs and may cause Hoosiers to shorten their trip or choose closer-to-home options,” said Molly Hart, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. Nationally, AAA expects nearly 45 million Americans to travel over the Memorial Day holiday, the highest total on record. However, year-over-year growth remains less than one percent. | Indiana Memorial Day Traveler Totals | |||| | Total | Auto | Air | Other | | | 2026 | 968.010 (+0.1%) | 877,597 (+0.0%) | 51,972 (-1.4%) | 38,440 (+5.1%) | | 2025 | 966,731 (+2.4%) | 877,434 (+2.1%) | 52,723 (+2.4%) | 36,574 (11.3%) | | 2024 | 943,855 (4,8%) | 899,515 (4.6%) | 51,487 (6.7%) | 32,854 (7.8%) | | National Memorial Day Traveler Totals | |||| | Total | Auto | Air | Other | | | 2026 | 44.95 million (+0.4%) | 39.07 million (+0.1%) |
