357. No Manual Controls: A Firsthand Look at Autonomous Mobility
No pedals. No steering wheel. No manual controls. In this Unplugged episode of SAE Tomorrow Today, host Grayson Brulte takes the show on the road from inside a Tesla Cybercab in Austin, Texas, to get a firsthand look at what it’s like to ride in an autonomous vehicle designed without manual controls. From watching movies and making phone calls to simply sitting back and enjoying the ride, Grayson explores how autonomous vehicles could change the passenger experience and how people use their time on the road. But is this the future of mobility or a glimpse of what could be? The bigger question is how the technology, public perception, and regulations will evolve from here.

356. Why Fragmented Engineering Can’t Keep Pace
What happens when smarter, software-defined products outpace the engineering systems used to build them? Listen in as we sit down with Don Cantow, General Manager at Altium, to explore how electronics are reshaping product development and why fragmented engineering environments can no longer keep pace. He explains how connected platforms and a continuous digital thread can unite design, supply chain, manufacturing, and other disciplines to enable better decisions in real time. The conversation also touches on security, traceability, and the role of AI in engineering. Cantow explains that AI paired with structured data and connected workflows can offer engineers the context and intelligence to solve complex problems and build what comes next.

355. Balancing Innovation and Safety on America's Roads
What does it take to make our roads safer while still paving the way for AVs? Listen in as we sit down with Jonathan Morrison, Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), to discuss the agency’s approach to roadway safety, AV regulation, and the future of mobility. From modernizing outdated regulations to advancing crash test technology, you’ll learn how NHTSA is balancing innovation with accountability. The conversation also explores how the A2SCEND Consortium is helping establish safety standards for autonomous vehicles to support their commercialization and build public trust. Beyond autonomous driving, Morrison discusses efforts to reduce traffic fatalities by addressing distracted driving, impaired driving, and seatbelt use. He also examines how updated fuel economy standards could improve vehicle affordability and how next-generation crash test dummies could improve occupant protection. We’d love to hear from you.

354. Standardizing Aircraft Data for Smarter Maintenance
What if every aircraft in a fleet could speak the same data language? Listen in as we sit down with SAE Committee Members Robert Taylor, Senior Solutions Architect at Bell Flight, and Dave Larsen, Senior Technical Fellow, PHM Systems at Collins Aerospace, explore how the AS7140 standard is creating a more unified approach to aircraft health and usage monitoring data. Instead of relying on numerous proprietary formats, AS7140 establishes a common data structure that can make information easier to access, compare, and analyze across platforms. This standardized data can help operators identify potential component failures earlier, shift from unscheduled to preventative maintenance, and improve aircraft availability. Looking ahead to the future, a common foundation for aircraft data could enable more sophisticated AI analysis while expanding beyond rotorcraft to fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned vehicles, and other platforms thus creating a foundation for a more connected aerospace data ecosystem.

353. How DED is Transforming Aerospace Manufacturing
From rocket engines to aircraft, laser powder directed energy deposition (DED) is turning years of production time into months. Listen in as we sit down with Tyler Blumenthal, Sales Manager at RPM Innovations, to explore how DED is expanding the possibilities of metal additive manufacturing by using a high-powered laser and metal powder to build components layer by layer. DED can create, repair, and modify large-scale metal parts, opening the door for new possibilities in design and production. The conversation explores how DED can reduce production timelines by 30%, why standards are helping accelerate adoption, and how DED is moving beyond space and defense applications toward broader aerospace and commercial use.

352. Convergent Manufacturing: Where AI, Materials and Automation Meet
As manufacturing enters a new era, the smartest solution may not be a better version of what already exists but an entirely new way of designing and building products. Listen in as we sit down with Clemson University’s Saeed Farahani, Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering and founding director of the Convergent Manufacturing Lab, to explore how AI, digital twins, advanced materials, and software-defined automation are reshaping what’s possible on the factory floor. Farahani explains the emerging field of convergent manufacturing, which brings together different materials, manufacturing processes, robotics, AI, and other technologies to find more efficient solutions to complex engineering challenges.

351. Built for the Extreme: Shaping Next-Gen Powersports
Off-road vehicles are expected to perform in places conventional vehicles can’t … from frozen tundra and isolated trails to deserts and remote environments. But how do you determine which new technologies will improve the rider experience rather than adopting technology simply because it’s new? As the global leader in powersports for more than 70 years, Polaris delivers industry-shaping off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, boats, military, quadricycles, and commercial vehicles. Listen in as we sit down with Tony Kinsman, Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Off-Road Engineering, to discuss how Polaris is combining mechanical engineering, software, connectivity, and real-world customer insights to shape the next generation of powersports. The conversation explores advances in suspension and powertrain technology, the growing role of software, and how RIDE COMMAND+ is using connected technology and off-road mapping to change how riders navigate and interact with their vehicles.
