Kev Drove With Mojo in His Self Driving Car

·11 min·1 clip
Mojo's self-driving Tahoe almost crashed into a construction barrier because it didn't detect the lane closure.
The episode opens with Kev excitedly talking about his new Ford Mustang, playing 'Mustang Sally' and joking about potential tickets. The conversation then pivots to Mojo's Chevrolet Tahoe, which Kev recently rode in for the first time. Kev describes Mojo's enthusiasm for the Tahoe's Super Cruise feature, an autonomous driving system. While on the highway, the Tahoe's Super Cruise fails to detect a construction zone with barriers, almost causing a collision as Mojo has to grab the wheel. Mojo explains that this was an isolated incident, as he usually relies on the system without issues during his commutes. He details safety features like eye-tracking and auto-stop that typically prevent accidents. Listeners call in: Angie suggests naming Kev's car 'Sexy Red,' leading to a discussion about car-naming traditions, with examples like 'Griselda' and 'Tom Celica.' Kim welcomes Kev to the Mustang community and invites him to Mustang Alley during Dream Cruise. Darla, a former test driver, advises reporting the construction barrier glitch to GM. Another listener, Artinas, shares that her cousin sleeps while his Tesla drives home, sparking debate about safety. Callers also share humorous car names like 'Peg Bundy' and 'Hemorrhoid.' The episode includes multiple ad breaks for sponsors like Progressive, SpinQuest, Sunday lawn care, IHOP, Grand Appliance, and Anabay sofas. The tone is informal and conversational, blending personal stories with listener interactions.
