This week tech & car company Pal-V made a pretty big splash at the Geneva auto show by unveiling its newest flying car. Louis Scialabba, Director of Service Provider Security at Radware joins Cheddar to discuss if this technology could actually be a reality.
Scialabba believes flying cars will retail to a niche group but most likely won't go mainstream, at least for a while. He talks about what will need to go into driving one of these cars and it doesn't seem easy. You'd probably still need a runway and if so, it will be hard to just fly your car to the grocery store.
However, he says that we can't just focus on the fun aspects of connected cars. We need to worry about the cybersecurity risks they pose. Cars can share information with other cars and we need to be mindful of the technology that goes into that and protect our data.

Compass Inc. reported its Q4 earnings on Wednesday, noting a 31 percent surge in quarterly revenue year over year. The real estate brokerage platform allows agents to promote and market their properties online and saw a 90 percent agent retention rate as well. Compass CEO Robert Reffkin joined Cheddar News to discuss the company's earnings, what ongoing inflation means for the housing market and how they help agents directly. "Let me start by saying my mom is actually a real estate agent, has been the majority of my life. She's a real estate agent today at Compass, and so I built Compass with her in mind," Reffkin said. The goal for an agent is to grow their business and have a better quality of life, more income to support their family, more time to be with their family, and it's not just software. It's a platform of software and services."
