🚨 Autonocast 348 is live!

Will Rivian bike spinoff Also become the Tesla Model S of bikes?

Why is it called Also?

Why did a Tesla see ghosts in a cemetery?

How will Tesla handle all the HW3 owners whose cars may never be driverless?

Does Ed's BMW "Clownshoe" ZM3 redeem him?

Tesla FSD 14 is nice but it still tries to enter HOV lanes despite “use HOV lanes” being set to OFF.

AGI is imminent but I still get AI cold outreach asking if I would ever consider writing a book.

Too late to explore the the seas, too early to explore the stars, but just in time to buy the highly depreciated dream cars of my youth and learn abt scarcity of parts & mechanics.

🚨 Autonocast 347: Should Waymo pranksters be permabanned? Will Tesla survive Ed's door handle obsession? What makes Kirsten a real journalist? Will I explain how to get into our 2026 CES party? Also, why AV operations will be more important than the tech itself...

Should Waymo permaban all 50 of these people?

FACHIDIOT (noun): A German, pejorative term for a person who is an expert in their specific field but lacks common sense, perspective, or awareness outside of their specialty, leading to a narrow, blinkered view of multi-faceted problems.

🚨 Autonocast 346:

- I get pulled over for the first time in 15 years
- Ed is more interested in the wild Silicon Valley Sperm Racing story
- Kirsten brings it back around to Waymo's rainy adventures in Arizona.

Will innovation win?

Or will Ed drag the show down again?

I am thrilled to hear of the Israel/Gaza peace treaty.

I fully expect 100% of those marching to #FreePalestine will cease protesting and embrace Jews as their partners in peace, and collaborate in building a prosperous and harmonious future for all.

Imagine reading this and then going back to work on AI slop generation.

Imagine being offered a post-defeat future/rebirth like that of Germany or Japan.

And rejecting it.

Nihilism.

The word "awesome" is overused.

What is the most trivial thing that has been called "awesome"?

HOT TAKE: Before making a public statement or posting to social media…

1) Read/watch the original post/video

2) Digest the FULL post/video

3) NEVER TRUST clips/quotes out-of-context

To borrow a concept from @alexroy144.bsky.social, Ram retconning their EREV truck name to "REV" not only makes way more sense than "Ramcharger", it gives them a decent opportunity to take narrative command of the next big thing in hybrid propulsion in the U.S.
