🚨 Autonocast 363: Did Kirsten enjoy her Lucid Gravity? What’s the Citroen CX of EVs? How’s Waymo Ops doing? Do the CA AV reporting rules make sense? Did I enjoy my friend’s use of FSD on a HW 2.5 Model S? Can Kirsten keep Ed & I under control? Ep link in thread:

🎙️ Autonocast 358 is live! This week we break down Wayve’s $1.2 billion raise, Uber's plan to become the global operations layer for autonomy, the debate over remote ops, Waymo’s overseas remote assistants, and what actually counts as “driving” in an AV. www.autonocast.com/blog/2026/3/...

Nexar CEO Zach Greenberger joins Alex, Kirsten and Ed to explain why AVs need real world data, how Nexar built one of the world’s largest driving datasets, the Uber Labs announcement, and much, much more. Also, the hosts critique each other’s fashion choices.

Delivering on all three promises of The Drivecast with Ep. 4. "... giving you an inside, behind the scenes look at the biggest stories, controversies, and people shaping the automotive industry." Let's be real, @alexroy144.bsky.social stories are always wild.

The Tesla weather map is your friend. And keep those cameras clean, my friends.

We just set the 1st Fully Autonomous, ZERO-Intervention Cannonball Run Record from LA-NY. In the middle of WINTER, through extreme cold, snow, ice, slush & rain, FSD drove 100% of the 3081 miles of our journey. www.thedrive.com/news/a-tesla...

The Autonocast needs a new podcast editor immediately. One hour eps published weekly. DM me.

The Persian people will never forget who stood beside them. And who didn’t. Never.

Persians going to be hunting down IRGC/Regime murderers who flee for years. No nation should take in these criminals. Freeze their assets. Return them to the Persian ppl for trial. Free Iran. Long Persia.

Free Iran!

I love debate and good faith opposing views, but table stakes are historical knowledge, broad context, and coherent end goals.

How do I remove all AI generated videos from my YouTube feed? I would pay for this.

Exactly as Rodney Brooks predicted years ago when I had lunch with him. More people should listen to Rodney Brooks.

Me to my seven-year-old daughter: “I also used to love pushing the shopping cart in the supermarket when I was your age.” Her: “Was that during the Industrial Revolution?” 😳😳😳

Imagine saying all elevators should have human operators. Forever.

I can’t believe there are ppl who believe humans will never explore planets beyond Earth. But I have special contempt for those who think we shouldn’t.

Is it ok for this person to occupy two Tesla Superchargers? Or should they have decoupled their trailer first and only unoccupied one?

Amazing how many ppl suddenly complaining about robotaxi safety have never lifted a finger to improve human driving safety by demanding more rigorous driver’s licensing standards. Selective outrage highlights lack of first principles.

When did the plural of vinyl become vinyls?

It breaks my heart to say it but Spinal Tap 2 is not good.

Aside from the poor judgement that led Jeep to deploy this in-car… The ad itself is terribly designed. As. In. Zero. Design. Imagine having all that screen real estate… And this is what someone said was “good enough.”

Remember the Fanch.

🚨 Autonocast 349: How To Make AI Useful w/MIT's Bryce Reimer How to cut through the AI hype? What is the best application of AI in human driving? Reimer is one of the Top 3 BS sniffers on earth, and alone in having a realistic vision of what AI can actually do. www.autonocast.com/blog/2025/11...

🚨 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? Link in thread…

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. A 2-second Google search yields 👇🏼

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... Ep link below...

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? Link in thread...

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.

So 9 years AFTER I wrote about how Tesla doors are opened w/o power, the rest of the world figures it out? www.thedrive.com/new-cars/154...
