TWC Podcast #194: Let’s Not Get Nuanced Here
By Phil Royle — Oct 23, 2024
The Cybercab and Ruh-bo-vehn are here … sort of. Tesla’s “We, Robot” unveiling of its Level 5 autonomous vehicles and updated Optimus robot hit flat when it comes to detailed nuance, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to unpack — so we do. Also on this episode: Car & Driver tests the ID. Buzz, Ford drops Mach-E pricing, and more!
