    Road Safety, Smarter Money, and AI-Driven Car Tech
    Dec 16 2025
    On this episode of GetConnected, we’re digging into three big questions: How do you stay safe on the road, stretch your money abroad, and trust the tech inside your next car? First, we look at your wallet on the go with June Yuan, Product Lead at Wise. New data from Wise shows ATM fees in some popular destinations have exploded — up over 1,300% in Vietnam and 3,500% in Indonesia — based on nearly 10 million ATM transactions worldwide. June explains what’s driving the spike, how exchange rates and per-transaction limits quietly drain your budget, and practical ways Canadians can avoid getting gouged while travelling this holiday season. Brandon Sturgis, Global Product Manager at BFGoodrich, joins us to unpack the latest in tire technology and safety. From winter grip and stopping distances to how modern tire design impacts EVs and SUVs, we’ll talk about the science in that rubber keeping you on the road. Finally, we look at the future of crash-free driving with Åsa Haglund, Head of Volvo Cars Global Safety Centre. She shares how Volvo is using AI, advanced sensors, and 50+ years of crash data to engineer a world without collisions — from the Multi-Adaptive Safety Belt that adjusts to each passenger, to occupant sensing systems that help ensure no one is left behind in a hot car. Road safety, smarter money, and AI-driven car tech — it’s all coming up on GetConnected.
