Episode Details

A single safety mandate could put AI in the driver’s seat of your car — and that’s only the start. (Original ~60-minute episode condensed to 12 minutes.) Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti unpack how a deceptively benign provision in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, plus automakers’ telematics patents, could let in-cab cameras and sensors disable vehicles and feed insurer and government surveillance systems. You’ll learn how these technologies intersect with Section 702/FISA debates, the data-broker loophole, and who really controls driver data — with clear takeaways on privacy, civil liberties, and regulatory oversight. Hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti connect the dots between car safety, AI surveillance, and political power. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
