This is a heck of a thread. How many car brands have hung their infotainment (and so much more with Automotive) on the Android flag? Far, far too many. I asked one PR rep why the company was adding something that didn't work and would make the customer experience worse. I didn't get a reply.

New Volkswagen Transporter Sportline 75. One of 75 individually numbered vans to mark (you guessed it) 75 years since the VW Transporter went into production. Unique Moss Green paint colour is similar to Dark Moss Green – as used on the recent Golf GTI Edition 50.

Read the quoted sentence. Do you get to do this as a human driver? Why should we allow tech that doesn’t work on the UK roads?

See someone in these, just punch them in the face.

See previous skeet about Meta. When you get rid of the meat of the organisation, you also get rid of all the nerves that connect it to the outside world and the muscle memory of how, you know, shit works down in the viscera.

And someone thought this tech was suitable for London. Either stupid, paid or both.

So Jess Phillips's big idea for combating violence against women and girls was to use technology to restrict the actions of the girls, rather than target the men exploiting the girls Convenient how Starmer not having acted on it is a resigning matter after the local elections but wasn't before them

Bloody hell! How?

When someone claps back at you, demonstrating how they do not understand the point you’ve made and you begin to wonder if they can sit the right way on the toilet.

The world has lost its mind, right? How is that happening?

New: The British government announced Wednesday it will rewrite key cybercrime laws after years of warnings that outdated legislation was hindering security researchers and weakening the country’s cyber defenses.

In case you didn't know, our episode titles are picked from something one of us said. As its a weekly news show, its tricky to come up with a good title each week that isn't keyword stuffing (Apple jumped on that years ago too). We decided to have fun with it instead.

Latest News Show is out. Hear how some companies are shrinking. Find out exactly how large one car is. Learn how your vote can make a difference for good, actually. To 👂 via streaming click 👉 www.motoringpodcast.com/episodes/202... To 👂 via other services click 👉 mpnewsshow.captivate.fm/listen

Ah yes, the same lot who refused to answer FOI requests about the accuracy and then it turned out it was horrifically wrong nearly every time but they'd updated it now so there. Yeah, we trust you. FFS.

Taking on a Calvados inspired theme today.

Here’s a couple of pieces that are a little different. The BMW M4 that took on the Laguna Seca IMSA race in “Throwback” livery and the iconic Porsche 917/20 “Pink Pig”. I’m calling this style “Lines and Livery”. If you’d like to know more, please ask 🙂 #Art #Porsche #BMW #IMSA #LeMans

Heather is so spot on here. Oh my word, this 👇

General Irwin believed in meticulous 1917-style planning. In the Arakan jungle, this handed every advantage to the Japanese. Listen as we dissect (to put it mildly) the leadership flaws in our latest episode. #Leadership #History #WWII

I love that story that’s doing the rounds about how the car industry is gaslighting us and can easily meet the ZEV mandate. If you drill into the numbers and the claims, then an awful lot of non zero emissions vehicles need to be sold to achieve it.

Please remember that the purpose of the OSA was not child safety, it was to create a captive market for the AV and content scanning sectors, and sales pitches were what shaped the law, as I wrote here. internet.exchangepoint.tech/the-dog-that... They want their ROI and they want it now.

Those of you with very long memories may recall the scare story in the red tops, maybe eight or so years ago, which claimed that children under 10 were using the names of Nando's hot sauces as texting code for various sexual acts. That story placement? That was the vendor, drumming up publicity.

Fun fact: the magical child safety solution which Jess Philips cited in her resignation letter is a vendor-specific offering, which benefited from an intense PR and lobbying campaign, and was previously praised by ... Prince Andrew. I always keep the receipts. heatherburns.tech/2026/02/20/t...

These clowns are utterly thick. I’m so sick of our politicians being so very bad at basic things.

From 2020 to 2024, General Motors sold driver data—including names, contact information, location data + driving behavior—to insurance companies. Those companies matched the data against other databases, and used it to change (raise) insurance rates for the drivers. Which is illegal in California.

Manthey Racing has unveiled a special livery for its “Grello” Porsche 911 GT3 R Evo for this weekend’s Nürburgring 24, celebrating both the 30th anniversary of the team and tenth year of the iconic livery.
