2027 BMW X5, Lamborghini Urus SE, Flock Camera CEO Issue & Gas Price Gouging | Ep. 40

Summer is road trip season, and on Episode 40 of The Drive with Lauren Fix and Karl Brauer, we're covering the latest vehicles, industry news, and consumer issues that every driver should know.

Lauren and Karl kick off the show by sharing their favorite summer road trip experiences, from spontaneous adventures to testing the latest driver assistance technology, including Ford BlueCruise.

This week's special guests include John Kelly from BMW, who gives us an exclusive first look at the all-new 2027 BMW X5 and explains the biggest changes coming to one of the world's most popular luxury SUVs.

Next, Federico Foschini, Lamborghini's Chief Marketing and Sales Officer, joins the show to discuss the exciting new 2027 Lamborghini Urus SE Performante, performance electrification, and the future of the Lamborghini brand.

Then we dive into one of the week's biggest privacy stories. The CEO of Flock Safety sparked controversy after referring to opponents of Flock camera systems as "terrorists." We examine the growing expansion of these surveillance cameras and the revelation that Signal Trace technology can identify and follow Bluetooth-enabled devices, including cell phones, AirPods, pet collars, and much more.

Planning a summer getaway? You'll also want to hear our discussion about the latest gas price-fixing lawsuit and what it could mean for drivers filling up during peak travel season.

Finally, Lauren reviews the Lexus RX 550h Performance AWD, while Karl shares his impressions of the rugged Ford F-150 Tremor, highlighting what makes each vehicle stand out.
