## Resource

Standards aren’t flashy … but they make modern mobility possible by enabling emerging technologies to scale safely. Listen in as we sit down with SAE International experts Christian Thiele, Senior Director of Global Vehicle Ground Standards, and David Franks, Standards Specialist Engineer for Aerospace, for a wide‑ranging conversation on how SAE standards quietly enable trust, interoperability, and scale across automotive and aerospace. This discussion spans EV charging, wireless roads, automated driving, advanced air mobility, hydrogen propulsion, and the growing role of artificial intelligence. Go behind the scenes to learn how these standards are developed, the importance of industry consensus, and why they often exceed regulatory safety requirements.
