Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. June 25th, 2025

Technology is moving fast in 2025, and perhaps way too fast for us to catch up. A story out of New Jersey is a prime example of that, as we take a glimpse into the future of everyday driving. Here is how the journey begins. A New Jersey teenager used his father’s Tesla to take his road test. The examiner declared that the teen had allowed the car to perform parallel-parking manoeuvres, but the father insisted that he didn’t activate those features. Naturally, questions are being raised. Joining us to expand further on those concerns is Lorraine Sommerfeld, a Driving.ca columnist. Speaking of tech gadgets, are you concerned that Artificial Intelligence might take your job? What industries do you think are prime targets for A.I. inventions? Andrew Pinsent, filling in for Kristy Cameron, tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, there is a growing uproar within the truck-driving industry right now. Several drivers are calling on the feds to halt, in their words, a $2 billion ‘scam’ that re-classifies drivers. We dig deeper with Mark Seymour, who is the owner of Prescott-based Kriska Transportation Group.
