Sibros Presents Point B: A New Podcast

Do you ever find yourself wondering how the future of the automotive industry looks? Of course, most of our brains have been filled with Hollywood images of flying cars, teleportation, and vehicles that transform into spaceships or submarines on demand. But is this actually where the industry is headed? 

Right now, the automotive industry exists in a Point A world surrounded by limitations, roadblocks, and areas of improvement. But what does Point B look like? What roadblocks and detours can we expect on the way? How much technological fuel do we need to get there? And what is our ETA? 

It was questions like these that inspired Sibros to launch a new podcast series, aptly named Point B. 

What to Expect?

Point B is a Sibros original podcast that aims to educate and entertain both industry professionals and curious members of the public. Episodes are conveniently short and packed full of valuable information on the latest Autotech innovations and trends and how they are transforming the landscape of all things automotive. 

Every month one of our podcast hosts will have connected conversations with an industry expert on topics ranging from micromobility to connectivity, transportation 2.0 to intelligent cities, and beyond. Our first episode dives into the evolution of the EV sector and features none other than the Principal and Founder of Electrified Future Inc. Peter Savagian. In next month’s episode, we take a ride with Bill Thompson, Sr. Director of Mobility at Rightpoint, to learn about the intricacies behind creating an effective digital experience for the vehicle user.
