Tech Talk commentator Rick DeMeis experiences the wow-factor of the 2019 Lexus ES 350 Ultra Luxury model and reminisces about the mysteries of Corinthian leather. There are also important announcements from Volvo’s Polestar marque and automaker Peugeot (remember them). Rick also provides an exciting Musk Minute update, and then gravitates over to a recap of the Apollo 50 plus 50 Celebration at MIT in Cambridge. There’s news from Canada’s University of Waterloo, too.
