Listen "Ep136 Felicity Ace ll as EV ship burns, Euro vans takeover US market, trauma surgeon safety, Audi TT"
Episode Synopsis
A Chinese transport ship carrying electric cars across the Pacific Ocean catches fire and sinks, shades of the famous Felicity Ace that caught fire and sank three years ago in the Atlantic Ocean. The Chinese ship doesn't have a stripper name, but it sends the same message: transporting EVs by ship is dangerous and can cause ecologic disasters.Thanks to retired Ford CEO Alan Mulally the US has moved from using old-school and fuel sucking body-on-frame vans like the Econoline to fully embracing Euro-style unibody work/family vehicles like the Transit and Ram ProMaster. It's a huge transformation that happened over 15 years. Our trauma surgeon Dr Stephan Moran discusses a different safety advantage of self-driving cars: passengers in self-driving taxis don't have to worry about a driver they don't know victimizing them either during the ride of afterwards.The Audi TT was launched 25yrs ago as a 2000 model year car. When it hit the market it was an absolute sensation, and we pour some sugar on one of the greatest Audis of our generation.Everybody Wants to Rule the World turns 40 this year. OMG we can't believe it's been that long! Remember the car featured in the video? If you answered British Racing Green Austin Healey 3000 you win.#carsoncallpodcast #automobile #traumasurgeonsafety #audittmk1 #auditt #oneford #fordtransit #fordtransitconnect #felicityace #evtransporter #carsoncallpodcast #automobile #traumasurgeonsafety
