Episode Details

In the opening segment of Hour 3, host Charlie James takes a phone call from Scott in Greenville, who brings up concerns about the U.S. Department of Transportation’s V2X ("Vehicle-to-Everything") connectivity plan. Scott compares the potential for widespread, embedded vehicle surveillance to the debate surrounding local "Flock" license plate cameras, prompting James to reflect on how pervasive modern surveillance has become. Following the call, James pivots to seasonal topics as Greenville County students prepare for the first day of school. He urges voters to double-check their polling locations at scvotes.gov due to school schedule conflicts before reflecting on the sentimental tradition of parents sending their young children off to school for the very first time.
