## Summary

Hosts Chris Gammell and Dave Jones discuss the nuances of serial bus standards, specifically contrasting the chaotic, proprietary nature of CAN bus in automotive applications with the more standardized I2C and its successor I3C. They explore the practical engineering skills required for physical product development, such as using strain gauges and accelerometers for vibration and stress testing, and emphasize the importance of moving prototypes off the bench to test in real-world conditions. The conversation also touches on the impact of AI on engineering careers, the logistics of manufacturing in Mexico, and the technical details of new Nordic microcontrollers and Ray-Ban smart glasses.
