  • Prohibiting Chinese Automakers

    Episode 808 spent a lot of time on who is against Chinese auto production in the US, but no time on “the why” they should be prohibited. I am interested in a good argument here. For example, how are they any different than the Japanese and more recently the Korean automakers when they entered our market? They entered the market, established manufacturing and engineering and design activities here, and are successful in our market. Now they are to the point where they are taking a protectionist p... more

  • Irrelevant

    I used to really enjoy this show, but after so many years of hearing the same guests pretend to know what’s happening has become annoying. This channel is more of a living historical account of how legacy automakers failed.

  • A good show when they have decent guests.

    No more Sandy Munro please. He is an arrogant, narcissistic guest who never answers the questions that he is asked.

  • Basically Democrats who talk about infotainment centers, and who awful Musk and Trump are. Even though they aren't experts in politics.

  • Clueless

    How can you do an hour on EV and AV without mentioning Tesla - the leading US force - even once… either biased or clueless.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AAH #810 - Tires Are A Key Part of Vehicle Development
Q: Gary, what do you think?
There is skepticism about the consumer price impact, with the panel suggesting the regulation is more cost-avoidance than true cost-reduction, and debating whether OE tires will be replaced with higher-cost, more efficient options.
AAH #810 - Tires Are A Key Part of Vehicle Development
Q: Well, first explain what it is.
The guest explains California's new tire efficiency regulations, including how rolling resistance is tested, labeling requirements, and the phased implementation with penalties for non-compliant tires; Bridgestone will measure and label its tires accordingly and notes the regulation is a broader policy push rather than a sudden cost-cutting move.
AAH #798 - Toyota Takes on Road Safety
Q: What is the CSRC and how does it operate?
The CSRC is a multidisciplinary team that links Toyota researchers with universities and hospitals to identify crash problems, fund and conduct research, and translate findings into safer vehicle design and policy.
AAH #796 - Legacy Automakers Are Not Ready For An Autonomous Future
Q: Who will own the value in the autonomous mobility era, the automakers or tech/platform companies?
Tech platforms and mobility networks with deep software and data capabilities are positioned to capture more of the value, potentially outpacing traditional automakers who focus on hardware and traditional sales.
AAH #796 - Legacy Automakers Are Not Ready For An Autonomous Future
Q: How low could new car sales drop with widespread autonomous mobility?
Sales could flatten or decline as households shift to shared robo-taxi models and longer-lasting fleets, while the used car market and autonomy-enabled leasing strategies absorb some demand; timing depends on vehicle life, utilization, and policy signals.
