No Driving Gloves

John asks the question are we jaded about cars? Are some of us in the industry overexposure? Is there a deeper meaning behind the object?

Here are a couple of quick thoughts to make you think.

You know them. You read them. You have heard about them. They know all. The same expert a new topic each week. We talk about them.

Every generation has their own car style, what is the current automotive fashion? Is there one? Derek and John discuss hot rods, muscle cars, pony cars, Vanning, Mini Trucks, Lowriders, Sport Compacts, Affordability, ugly police cars, and Mork from Ork. A lot for 54 minutes.

In this episode, we delve into the significance of innovation and creativity in driving progress. They argue that throughout history, advancements and improvements have been made possible because individuals were free to explore and find solutions to problems. The hosts highlight the industrial revolution as a prime example of how innovation has propelled society forward.

Expressing concerns about legislation and policies that may restrict creativity, the hosts assert that by imposing laws and regulations that hinder innovation, society is essentially hindering its own progress. They firmly believe that limiting creativity hampers our potential for finding new and improved solutions.

To illustrate the impact of policies and regulations on innovation and technological development, the hosts bring up the example of the electric grid infrastructure. They note that while there is a push for electric charging stations, the number of gas stations for internal combustion engines being built far exceeds the infrastructure for electric vehicles. This observation serves as a clear example of how policies and regulations can shape the direction of innovation.

Overall, the hosts advocate for the freedom to innovate and be creative, emphasizing that limiting this ability through legislation and policies can hinder progress. They argue that society should prioritize supporting and encouraging innovation, as it is crucial for driving advancements and finding solutions to complex problems.

According to the podcast transcript, there is a growing disparity between the number of gas stations being built for internal combustion engines and the number of electric charging stations. The host suggests that a gas station with 50% gas pumps and 50% electric charging stations would indicate a shift in infrastructure towards electric vehicles. Additionally, the host highlights that some Walmarts, McDonald's, and hotels already have electric chargers, while gas stations do not. This suggests that the infrastructure for electric vehicles is developing at a faster pace than that for internal combustion engines.

Furthermore, the host argues that gas stations are becoming obsolete with the rise of electric vehicles. They predict that once the petroleum industry realizes this, lobbying money will be redirected towards developing other technologies instead of electricity. The host also points out that according to the International Energy Agency report, by 2023, around 12% of vehicles on the road in the United States will be electric, supporting their argument that gas stations are becoming less relevant.

Overall, the information from the episode suggests a growing disparity between the number of gas stations and electric charging stations, with the latter experiencing more rapid development and adoption. This indicates a shift in infrastructure towards electric vehicles and raises questions about the future of gas stations as electric vehicles become more prevalent.

In this episode, the host explores the possibility of modernizing older technology to enhance fuel efficiency. Specifically, they mention an article about companies in the Detroit area that are examining older engine designs, such as the opposed piston engine, and finding ways to optimize their performance with modern fuels. This includes the utilization of synthetic fuels, hydrogen technology, and turbo diesel technologies.

The host also highlights Mazda as an example, as they are considering the use of rotary engines in their vehicles. Rather than employing the rotary engine as the primary engine, Mazda is exploring its integration into a hybrid system, where it can generate electricity more efficiently for the hybrid. This approach also reduces wear on the rotary engine compared to using it directly to produce horsepower and torque for the vehicle.

Overall, the episode suggests that by revisiting older technology and combining it with modern fuel systems and engineering principles, it may be possible to enhance the efficiency of these older designs beyond that of the standard reciprocating internal combustion engine. This alternative approach to improving fuel efficiency is seen as an intriguing option to explore, alongside the focus on electric vehicles.

In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of how many cars are too many. This of course is after we discuss the recent patent filing by Ford Motor Company, one of which allows various ways to auto repossess your car. Derek does wonder how the salesperson will make that a selling point. Afterward the three key takeaways from our conversation about downsizing:

1. Priorities matter: When it comes to owning a collection of cars, everyone has their own priorities. Some people prioritize the historical significance of a car, while others prioritize the thrill of driving it. It's essential to think about your own priorities and how they align with your collection.
2. Time management is crucial: Maintaining a collection of cars takes time and effort. It's important to think about how much time you have to devote to your collection and how many vehicles you can realistically manage.
3. There's no such thing as too many cars: Okay, maybe this one is a bit controversial, but hear us out. While it's important to consider your priorities and time management, ultimately, there's no limit to how many cars you can own if you have the means to do so. After all, who doesn't love a good car collection?

Overall, our conversation on this episode was lively and thought-provoking. We hope you'll give it a listen and share your own thoughts on the topic. As always, you can find our podcast on nodrivinggloves.com and we welcome your feedback and suggestions for future episodes. Happy listening!
