The @motoringpodcast starts with Cruise getting it's robotaxi license revoked.

Awful lot of people, organisations and groups have led us to the point where Cruise did what it did.

Frankly, no one comes out of this looking good. The industry, VCs, social media, the company, commentators, the press, influencers, regulators, politicians all are culpable.

Someone just said she doesn't know how to call and leave me a message after mentioning that I play voicemails of familect stories in the show.

I give the phone number in EVERY SINGLE PODCAST immediately after the familect story. I've said it so many hundreds of times it's burned into my memory forever.

Tell me you don't listen to the end of my podcast without telling me you don't listen to the end of my podcast, I guess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@grammargirl haha. I know when people don’t read my show notes as I spot a spelling mistake later. Usually a week later, which is super helpful of my brain. 🤦‍♂️

Here’s a list of colossal idiots. Never give these organisations your money, if you’re in the UK, as they’ve helped to make you vulnerable to digital attack and have removed your privacy.

@Connected_Studio what an insane idea. Did no one stop to think about how creepy this is? The BBC’s obsession with “personalising” one’s listening is wrong and stupid.

I know Gareth and bought their products. It seems they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, amongst other things.

Sunset from 10,000 feet in New Mexico's Sangre de Cristo Mountains. One is so high, and the sky so large, that it feels as if you can see the blackness of space in the upper atmosphere before the sun even drops below the horizon.

Can’t wait until the car OS is Android. Can’t see ANY issues.

Whilst I am sarcastic a lot of the time over this, it really isn’t funny, nor will it be. But hey ho.

@kentindell @theregister it’ll be fine, I’m sure they’re trying REALLY hard to do it all without too much hassle. It won’t reboot, at say around 70mph on the motorway

When I logged in to YouTube this morning, I saw that the channel has hit exactly 30,000 subscribers — and who doesn't love to celebrate a big round number? Woo hoo!

We load every podcast up to the channel, and I also occasionally post more highly produced videos and YouTube shorts. Check it out (or "like and subscribe" as the serious YouTubers say).

    @kentindell hey, The Press, stop enabling this garbage built by eugenic loving racists, who stole our (and your) data, pay pennies to people to actually make better and spouts utter garbage.

    A Phd holder used it to ask about driver monitoring systems and what good they will do. The results were utter tosh, lies and false, but it is whats been printed previously. The Dr loved it and proudly posted it on LinkedIn.

    I asked if they'd done it for a joke. Haven't replied yet.

    @kentindell deliberately missing information, too.

    I hope this shuts it all down. Now. As you know I've been vocal about this industry and the lies. You also know I'd love for AVs to "be a thing" but as they're being developed now, that'll never happen.

    I am beyond disgusted by these companies and their practices, their lies, their misinformation. Enough now.

    @kentindell yeah but Twitter is full of grifters, seems like “his people”.

    helenczerski, to climate

    It is completely ludicrous that anyone is still talking about hydrogen for home heating - it’s far less efficient, less safe, more expensive and less flexible than heat pumps. This report is the last nail in a coffin that is already more nail than coffin.

    @helenczerski the village “selected” to experiment with this, near Ellesmere Port, all turned round and said no, even when offered all the appliances for free and to turn their houses back to how they weee before, for free.

    It is such a silly thing to try and do.

    We start the @motoringpodcast News Show with the DOJ taking eBay to court over not stopping "rolling coal" devices being sold via the platform.

    Bonus, and to the amusement of Alan, I say "rolling coal" 🎩

    Lots more to hear about on top of this.

    @kentindell I thought cryptography was the solution to all car security issues, too. Well that’s what many keep saying.

    The collective idiocy by so many over this topic makes me think either;
    A) these people WANT access to everyone’s devices and messages
    Or
    B) they are thicker than mince and unable to grasp basic facts
    Or
    C) they’ve got hero complexes, and this fantasy enables their mental gymnastics
    Or
    D) all of, or some portion of all of the above

    @kentindell @mathowie I was in the midst of being furious for the Ledge of Fury™️ story and Alan made his pop a thumbs up which ruined both our flows and I forgot some points I wanted to make and caused A LOT of editing. FFS.

    September new car registration figures are dissected on @feditips

    Poor September, no matter how its dress it up. Private registrations must be a real worry, particularly for BEVs. Cost of living beginning to really hit home? Look at the discounts that are already being announced.

    And no, Gov's 2030 announcement DIDN'T change private BEV stats.

    @kentindell @motoringpodcast @ajpbradley you didn’t hear me before we went live. He was trying to get ahead of it all and defuse my towering rage at the cheek of the two organisations. I also cut A LOT. He made some very good points too.
