Following a trip to Las Vegas, Chuck Joiner explores some of the practical ways technology can improve travel and everyday life. From using ChatGPT for vacation planning and real-time translation in a surprising setting to a Zoox autonomous vehicle ride, he shares firsthand observations and positive experiences. Chuck also offers rideshare pricing strategies and discusses tech that was prevalent in rideshare vehicles, sharing personal recommendations for dash cameras and inexpensive convex rearview mirrors that can make driving safer.
