We’re back on the road from Barrie, Ontario to discuss ChatGPT privacy, NVIDIA Broadcast, and how self-driving cars might soon move like a drone swarm. Plus, Jeff’s snorkeling accident with his smartwatch and Robbie’s Dungeons and Dragons gear quest might take him shopping.

In this Drive, Robbie Ferguson and Jeff Weston break down:
- The Future of Commuting: Will self-driving cars ever move like a drone swarm?
- AI Privacy: How your kids might be giving away the family secrets to ChatGPT.
- NVIDIA Broadcast: Is AI eye-contact an "amazing hack" or a "falsified human connection"? Jeff has thoughts.
- Survival Tech: Using ChatGPT for berry picking and the resurgence of the Nintendo VirtualBoy (yes, really).
