The Carpool podcast has officially charted #1 in the automotive category and is looking forward to a future with video and remote recordings. Today, the gals welcome Kristy Rasback, the global system safety director at General Motors for an interview you won't want to miss.  

Kelly is prepping for back to school this week while Lizz just celebrated her two year anniversary with Mattie. In driveways dumps they lay out their dream shopping center: Target (of course), Home Goods, Trader Joe's, a local coffee shop, Athleta or Lululemon, and a sushi restaurant. Kelly warns the Carpool crew that Netflix rom coms suck, so take a leap back into the 1990s and rent The Bodyguard. Next on her list is Rumor Has It and Lizz adds It Ends With Us might be worth the watch, too.

In industry news Kristy Rasback spills all the hot tea going on in the GM world. Kicking off this segment, Kelly shares how she loves when the Traverse seat vibrates to alert her of anything around the car. Kristy says she loves her supercruise and agrees that the intuitive setup with physical buttons is an advantage across the Chevrolet line. Kristy talks semi-autonomous driving advantages with the gals and how the more you use it, the more you can trust it. Kelly says this feature boosts both fun and safety for drivers. Kristy's #1 must-have safety feature surprises Kelly.

In her work, Kristy's team figures out all of the things that could go wrong with a safety-critical system in the car, and she's proud of GM's future vision for zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. "We wake up every day and are devoted to getting ourselves closer." Last, Kristy shares her teen driving highlights and why she loves having her kids in a safe vehicle she can keep tabs on. 

Ditch the drive-through also comes to us from Kristy and it's an Insta-hit. All you need is stew beef, beef broth, soy sauce, ginger, and brown sugar. Pressure cook your ingredients in the Insta-pot for 15 minutes and add steamed broccoli to serve. Done!

Lizz also shares the next Thawgust recipe—poppy seed chicken.
