I’m surprised that the problem he outlines initially is the fundamental of having a heavy thing move a few people, and his solution isn’t addressing weight or scale of vehicle at all, but is leaning into computational power to make us comfortable while we sit in traffic.
The solution seems apparent to me, we have to explore a different scale of machine, and build machines that do more with less. For the last 10 years I’ve used an e-bike as my primary mode of transit. Using a motor that is about the same size as my blender has made me question how much power we actually need in our vehicles. There’s a number of benefits to scaling down vehicles: it requires less power to move them, so we don’t need nearly as much battery. A modern electric vehicle uses anywhere from 60-100KwH battery to move at most 6 people, whereas an e-bike battery is typically .5-1kWH. That’s easily a design 10x more efficient in its use of power.
The biggest value to scaling down: it’s more nimble, and therefore quicker. E-bikes don’t reach the top speed that cars, but they can be deceptively much quicker navigating dense cities and suburbs.
We don’t need our cars to be catering to our every need, we need to rethink our power to weigh ratio and build less heavyweights and more featherweights.

And what if you want to travel in groups or with your family?

@Kaushal Malkan I agree that there’s a bit of a gap in the vehicles available, but it doesn’t seem logical that because you’re traveling in a group you now use a vehicle that is 80-100x heavier. When we use a car, more than 90% of the fuel used is just to move the car, not the passengers or cargo. We may have normalized that, but it’s truly unsustainable.

If our future is to be driven by a computer in our cars then it would make more sense to just take the bus/train (where available) instead of paying $100K for our own VR Smart Bubble Car.

You grossly underestimate the benefit of NOT being around the filthy masses, and the often dangerous mass transit of democrat controlled hellholes.

Dystopian nightmare? You can keep it. Nobody wants your cars as a service that every car maker seems to be pushing. Nobody wants to lose control of their driving freedom, even if you could prove it is safer with AI driving. Improve the vehicles so they don’t cost an arm and a leg. Instead you are putting in a bunch of tech and software that will only send the prices higher.

Cars were the biggest engineering mistake of the 20th century. Stop building them. The future is rail and e-bikes.

* bloated software,
* locked down everything,
* advertisments everywhere.
* data collection and selling to 3rd parties
* locking you inside the car, or taking remote control of the car

The dream car of the future is one that doesn’t pollute the lungs of people, that does not give kids asthma, nor give older people heart attacks and stroks, keeps people and children healthy and greatly reduces the amount of materials in production. The dream car is serviceable by the owner and is affordable for the majority. The dream car is a bicycle and was always here.
Now let’s ban the car adverts that kill 80,000 a year with air pollution and give millions more life threatening and life changing asthma, heart attacks and strokes.

You’re completely wrong, what transport needs most is efficiency. Why spend that much on something you only spend 30mins in. These thing need to come to the home first.

What a terrible presentation. Just ideas floating in the air. Except none of them are new. There are engineers working years to get an idea to work in reality. Then there are people giving Ted talks complaining why these ideas arent here yet. 😂 I was genuinely curious and then amazed how empty this talk is.
