As electric vehicle driving range continues to improve, more drivers feel comfortable taking to the road in electric vehicles (EVs).Most new EVs can travel more than 250 miles on a single charge, with some reaching greater than 350 miles of range.Factors such as road conditions, driving style, vehicle load and ambient temperature can affect actual range performance. Automakers are responding to quickly increasing consumer demand for electric vehicles by introducing many new models in all segments in the United States and Europe. With every new model introduction, carmakers are looking for ways to improve the driving range of their vehicles and reduce range anxiety so that more consumers will buy their EV offerings. Charging away from home has become more accessible, with fast-charging Level 3 stations now available at many highway rest stops, malls, restaurants and markets, but research continues to show that “range anxiety” is still among the top reasons consumers hesitate i
With more than a decade of experience in the auto industry, David Steinberg, inventor and CEO of Foureyes, saw first-hand that when dealerships put their inventory online, it was good for marketing but bad for salespeople. As the shopping experience moved to digital, customers could get the pricing and availability details they were looking for without engaging a salesperson. But salespeople were left in the dark and lacking the information they needed to really influence sales outcomes. Obviously, dealerships can’t take their inventory off their websites. Instead, they need to adapt and enable their salespeople to be more informed and more efficient: More informed about their customers and more efficient at delivering an excellent sales process. This realization led Steinberg to the development of Foureyes, a sales intelligence software built to help businesses track, protect, engage, and sell better. Foureyes is a modularized software with solutions geared to the needs of inv
A key trait of any high-performing automotive dealership is visibility. Most dealers define reconditioning as the mechanical portion of the make-ready process. VisFlow doesn’t stop with the shop but pulls together the entire process from mechanical services, parts, detail, photography, paint repairs, dents, wheel repairs, and all of the cosmetic reconditioning. The majority of dealerships today are missing a customized program that offers an unbiased look into their complete reconditioning processes, including the bottlenecks that threaten efficiency and the valuable data that can help them make better business decisions. All that hinders their ability to sell vehicles quickly, reliably, and economically with no we-owes. VisFlow is reinventing the reconditioning process for hard-working dealers with a dynamic technology platform and certified experts that walk the lot to optimize every opportunity. Dealerships often scramble to figure out what is happening in the reconditioning

The Evolution of AutoTech in the U.S.
The U.S. AutoTech sector is undergoing a transformative evolution, redefining the very nature of mobility, safety, and sustainability. Once solely dominated by mechanical engineering, today’s automotive landscape is being reshaped by cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and the accelerating development of electric and autonomous vehicles. This digital revolution is not only changing how vehicles are built and operated—it’s altering how Americans experience transportation itself. Major U.S. automakers, tech giants, and a surge of highgrowth startups are at the forefront of this innovation. From Silicon Valley to Detroit, collaborations between traditional car manufacturers and software companies are fueling breakthroughs in connected car technologies, cybersecurity, and data analytics. These partnerships are giving rise to smarter, safer, and more efficient vehicles that adapt to drivers, anticipate risks, and reduce emissions—making driving more intuitive and environmentally responsible. Equally important is the robust support from government initiatives and regulations that encourage clean energy adoption and technological advancement. Policies promoting electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, sustainable supply chains, and digital safety standards are paving the way for a new era of automotive excellence, with the U.S. poised to be a global leader in AutoTech. This dynamic environment presents both tremendous opportunity and pressing challenges—from infrastructure readiness and cybersecurity to consumer trust and affordability. Yet, the sector’s ability to innovate rapidly and pivot strategically offers a compelling roadmap for progress. In this issue, we spotlight the visionaries, disruptors, and trailblazers shaping the future of American AutoTech. From nextgen EV platforms and fleet automation solutions to AI-powered diagnostics and in-cabin experiences, these stories highlight how technology is not only transforming vehicles—but the entire ecosystem around them. The road ahead is electric, autonomous, and data-driven. And in the U.S., it’s already being built.
