I love how we've all collectively decided to just keep calling it Twitter...

I really wished they asked him some more technical questions cause they got a literal Ivey league professor to explain commen sense stuff. Half of these questions are solved in a single google search

I think people can’t differentiate between a mechanic and mechanical engineer

there was not enough variety of questions in this episode, it was mostly about EV and autonomous vehicles.

7:56 also survivor bias. You don't see the millions of older cars anymore because they broke and crushed. So you just see the ones people looked after.

Don't know why people hate on the MX5/Miata, they aren't supposed to be a fast car, they're supposed to be a well handling fun drop top. Look at a 60's British sports car... SMH

I think the perception that 70s cars lasted longer has a lot to do with survivorship bias. As an European, there were quite a few cars that didn’t last in the 70s, early Golfs, Alfasud, Lancia Beta, Fiats that started to rust on the dealer lot..

That guy in the Lidar hugging the wall standing perfectly still like we won't notice him. 😂 We see you.

As a professional auto technician of 20+ years and shop owner now the biggest problem is the owners never changing their oil and waiting till their car does move to bring it in. Not talking about EV’s

A lot of these were very simple questions that need no more than 10 minutes of searching on google. I hope you actually give this highly educated professional actually questions that cant be solved with a few serches

Remember guys. When we reach Level 5 autonomous vehicles your car will drive back to the dealership when you miss your passenger subscription. (Leasing and buying cars will not be an option.)

MX-5/Miata owner here, always happy to see them getting called out for being awesome!

7:56 Another thing to consider is survivorship bias. The adage of "things are not built like they used to" often evokes this bias when in reality the surviving technology makes up a tiny fraction of the total. That said, I do agree that modern cars are nearly impossible to maintenance yourself due to increasing complexity and increasing complexity can result in more ways for things to go wrong.

personally you just can't replace the drive feel of a manual miata. no way to replace that drivers feel with an electric alternative.

People can't even follow the lines on the road; flying cars will not be a thing until every driver is disciplined. That's something you can't fix in an R&D lab. Also, managing the logistics of sky "roads" would be a nightmare. 😂

As I see it, a major problem of flying cars is that EVERY traffic accident could be a fatality. Too many people have accidents at ground level. What's going to happen when the sky is full accidents waiting to happen.

Finally, an honest assessment of the longevity of vintage cars. The '70s are an ideal time for long lived cars as many low-maintenance components were introduced. Electronic ignition, reliable drivetrains, and many other refinements were standardized throughout the 1970s. The plastics in modern cars are short-lived and the computer modules are overcomplicated and not robust enough to last. Old cars just keep going with basic maintenance and occasional small repairs with basic hand tools

LMAO at the Miata question. I just picked up an NC MX 5 and get laughed at by everyone as a hairdresser. Can people also start hating on the NSX to drive down those prices as well. Thanks in advance lollll
