The Catchup

Are EVs a passing fad?


Listen Later

This week, Daniel Garrett submitted our topic: Are EVs the true driver's test? Or, are they just a trendy fad? Our answer lies somewhere in between. What if instead of a trend, the answer is simple: a stopgap. Maybe EVs are just a trendy holdover until something more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly comes along. And while there's no doubt all of us will have to adjust to this brave new car world... maybe what's to come includes a resurgence of gas powered vehicles (this time with renewable fuel). Or, maybe it's new hybrids or hydrogen-powered vehicles we're driving around. Or maybe, we're not even driving at all!

But before all of that, we get distracted by the futuristic rabbit hole that is Elon Musk. His latest endeavors seem to grow ever more head scratching. Why is it that the man who once said AI would be the downfall of human existence...is now working on a humanoid AI, with prototypes due later this year! What does the world stand to gain from this technology? Why is there an arms race toward this brave new future? And why is it so important that Elon Musk wants to keep these AI from talking to each other? There's a whole lot to discuss, and we get into all of it!
