Technology is moving fast in 2025, and perhaps way too fast for us to catch up. A story out of New Jersey is a prime example of that, as we take a glimpse into the future of everyday driving. Here is how the journey begins. A New Jersey teenager used his father’s Tesla to take his road test.

We dig deeper with Mark Seymour, who is the owner of Prescott-based Kriska Transportation Group.

It’s summertime, and the living should be easy. With carefree sensations like a movie about speed or a new, record-breaking roller coaster. Not a hard, painful Death Spiral of Doom like Ottawa commuting times so long that riders get dinged twice for fares. Read More
