This month on the Our Parking Industry Podcast, hosts Krista Olien, Leigh Thomas, and Clyde Wilson explore the innovations driving parking forward—from AI and EV charging to cybersecurity and community. Hear insights from SWTCH’s David Weber, Scheidt & Bachmann’s Mike Lauder, and the TPN team’s reflections from NPA 2025 in Indianapolis.

The parking industry is evolving at lightning speed—cash is out, EVs are in, and solar electric vehicles (sEVs) are on the horizon. At TPN, we’re asking: are we adapting fast enough, and are our infrastructure plans future-ready? With innovation accelerating like Moore’s Law, flexibility is key. Instead of locking into today’s tech, we must prepare for tomorrow’s. The road ahead is solar, smart, and still unfolding—let’s stay ready for the next turn.

In May 2025, Aurora Innovation launched the first autonomous freight truck service in Texas, operating between Houston and Dallas. As large truck fatality rates rise—up over 24% in Texas since 2019—concerns grow about safety, licensing, and training. With Houston’s freight volume increasing, autonomous delivery is set to reshape the industry. TPN is closely monitoring this shift as more companies enter the autonomous freight space nationwide.
