Episode Notes

Artificial intelligence continues to dominate conversations across the automotive industry, but the real story extends well beyond chatbots and automation. As technology advances and customer expectations evolve, dealerships are navigating new opportunities and new challenges.

In this episode of Dealer Driven, Steve Greenfield, CEO and Founder of Automotive Ventures, joins hosts Camron Wilson and Michael Hayes to examine the next wave of automotive technology and what it means for dealers. The conversation covers AI-powered negotiation, digital retail, first-party data strategies, compliance, and the growing role AI will play in the car-buying experience.

Steve also shares why dealers should focus less on AI as a buzzword and more on improving the business metrics that matter most. He explains how emerging technologies can strengthen customer interactions, improve operational efficiency, and help dealerships stay competitive without losing the value of the in-person buying experience.

Rather than focusing on hype, the conversation centers on the practical opportunities and challenges dealers can expect as AI becomes more integrated into everyday operations.
