<h2>That Special Feeling</h2><p>Car ownership is a very special milestone for everyone, but more so for true car guys. That moment of choosing and buying your brand-new dream car is unmatched. At higher price points, brands offer a more immersive buying experience, allowing owners to customize certain aspects of the car to make it uniquely theirs.</p><p>Ford isn't often in the business of offering customization, considering it's primarily a mass-market brand, but for the Mustang GTD, it seems to be giving owners a taste of it. One owner's specific request has just made the rounds o...

<h2>Pickup Beds Should Work Smarter</h2><p>A pickup is only as good as its bed. You’re trading away the security and convenience of a closed trunk for hauling power, so the bed has to earn its keep. That’s exactly what Nissan seems to be targeting with a new tailgate patent aimed at making the bed of the Frontier (or a future truck?) more versatile.</p><p>Filed at the US Patent and Trademark Office in October 2024 and published in April 2026 (patent no. 20260109410), the application details a tailgate with a second, movable panel built right into it.

<p>When work went remote, the sound of business changed. What began as a scramble to make home offices functional has evolved into a revolution in how people hear and are heard.

<p>When Darren Riley moved to Detroit seven years ago, he didn’t expect the city’s air to change his life—literally.

<p>Most recruiting firms aren't losing their best women because of the market. They're losing them because of how they're built.</p> <p>Augusta Mirchandani has watched it happen her entire career — high-performing women who outbill their peers, build the best client relationships, and then quietly disappear after a maternity leave, a life change, or one too many passive-aggressive performance conversations. She refused to accept that as inevitable. So she built something different.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Augusta is the founder and CEO of AAA Global, a specialist recruiting firm across five countries — London, Amsterdam, Mumbai, Shenzhen, and Dubai — focuse...

<p>Electric vehicles tend to perform very well in crash-safety tests, due to how their bodies are structured. Heavy batteries help create a lower center of gravity, while the absence of an engine allows designers more space to create effective crumple zones. The Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T pickups are two of the biggest EVs around, so their sheer size can also improve crash safety. But how do they compare to each other? And how do they perform when it comes to crash prevention? To answer those questions, we’ve compared the latest safety ratings for both pickups from th...

<p>CAS thought leader Kane Polakoff, the head of the client advisory services practice at Top 100 Firm CohnReznick, discusses how artificial intelligence can be integrated into CAS now -- and what that intersection will look like over the long term.</p>

<p>Artificial intelligence may be dominating boardroom agendas, but many enterprises are discovering that the biggest obstacle to meaningful adoption is the state of their data. While consumer-facing AI tools have dazzled users with speed and ease, enterprise leaders are discovering that deploying AI at scale requires something far less glamorous but far more consequential: data infrastructure that is unified, governed, and fit for purpose.</p> <p>That gap between AI ambition and enterprise readiness is becoming one of the defining challenges of this next phase of digital transformation.

<p>Ram owners expect durability and confidence, especially when spending big on a new pickup. For Ontario resident Victor Sanchez, that expectation was not met when his 2025 Ram 1500’s airbags deployed without warning while he was driving on the highway. </p><p>What should have been a straightforward warranty claim has instead turned into a costly dispute, with Stellantis refusing to cover the damage. The incident also comes amid broader concerns around Ram’s quality control, including a recent recall of 6,605 units of the 2026 Ram 2500 due to a faulty steering module that can disable electronic stability control.</p><h2>Airbags Depl...

<p>Dave Veres started at Aerotech in September 1994. He was 22, fresh off four years as an all-conference shortstop at Michigan State, and he didn't know how to spell the company name. He got on a plane to Baltimore for training and called his parents after three days. They asked what the job was. He told them he didn't know — but it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen.</p> <p>What followed was 27 and a half years at one company. From entry-level recruiter to running national sales and enterprise accounts across automotive, defense, and government — while that company scaled into the...

<p>When the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship launched its first race through Beijing’s Olympic Park in 2014, the idea of all-electric motorsport still bordered on experimental. Batteries couldn’t yet last a full race, and drivers had to switch cars mid-competition. Just over a decade later, Formula E has evolved into a global entertainment brand broadcast in 150 countries, driving both technological innovation and cultural change in sport. </p><p>"Gen4, that's to come next year," says Dan Cherowbrier, Formula E’s chief technology and information officer.

<p>Most recruiting firms measure success by offers accepted. Jake Frazer watched that metric send unqualified people into a war zone. That was the moment he decided the industry was broken — and spent the next decade building something different.</p> <p> Frazer is not a recruiter.

<p>In the U.S., two-thirds of the country’s 150,000 convenience stores are run by independent operators.

When business leaders talk about digital transformation, their focus often jumps straight to cloud platforms, AI tools, or collaboration software. Yet, one of the most fundamental enablers of how organizations now work, and how employees experience that work, is often overlooked: audio. As Genevieve Juillard, CEO of IDC, notes, the shift to hybrid collaboration made every space, from corporate boardrooms to kitchen tables, meeting-ready almost overnight. In the scramble, audio quality often lagged, creating what research now shows is more than a nuisance. Poor sound can alter how speakers are perceived, making them seem less credible or even less trustworthy. "...
