About this episode
The episode explores the personal connections car lovers have with vehicles and the importance of historical engineering storytelling in the automotive industry.
From lifelong hobbies to deep nostalgia, there is no doubt that personal connections with our vehicles are real. But true car lovers know that the future is built on what we’ve learned from the past. Listen in as we sit down with SAE History of Ground Vehicle Systems Committee members Terry Mueller, George Nicols, and Jeff Singer to explore what makes cars so special. As historical engineering storytellers, these automotive enthusiasts are creating a library within SAE that includes the evolution of vehicle systems and subsystems, making knowledge accessible for enthusiasts, engineers, and educators alike. If you’re an industry professional, retired engineer, or automotive enthusiast with experience in the automotive or aerospace sectors, learn how you can join and help us preserve history. We’d love to hear from you. Share your comments, questions and ideas for future topics and guests to podcast@sae.org. Don’t forget to take a moment to follow SAE Tomorrow Today—a podcast where we discuss emerging technology and trends in mobility with the leaders, innovators and strategists making it all happen—and give us a review on your preferred podcasting platform.
