The Driving You Crazy Podcast

Imagine a world where there are no more cargo ships on the open sea. Where everything is moved by air ships. That is the idea by some European scientists as reported on by Ross Pomeroy in Real Clear Science. Ross explains the idea and complications with the plan. When you impersonating a cop don’t pull over real cops. Is it time to build a subway under Las Vegas? One man is so fed up with never being able to merge he reverted to the written word. Who still plays Pokemon go? And the truck driver who just wants a thank you.

What if you could use an app to either find an open parking space on someone’s property or use that same app to provide a space in your driveway when you aren’t using it?

Guest host Nicole Brady joins the show today to talk about a story of an elderly couple who hasn’t driven their car for three years because they can’t get an airbag replacement. Jayson has some thoughts about the 2019 Denver Auto show. Potholes are horrible this time of year and one man in Texas was so fed up with his city not fixing them he did it himself. Congestion pricing is coming to New York City. Would you pay $230 a month to drive into the city? What town is next? Also from New York, the horse drawn carriages are now off 59th Street and in the park. That will solve that problem that didn’t need fixing. And we are going for a new world record after hearing what two guys in Boston did to earn one.
