8/16/23: Planes, Trains, and EVs

Imagine cruising through Scotland on a bus and noticing there's no driver in sight, or hitting the open road in an electric vehicle, knowing the pavement beneath is recharging the battery. In this episode, we explore the future of transportation - from the world's first autonomous bus system, to the innovations in electric vehicle technology. Also, the thirst for electric vehicles is driving a dramatic increase in demand for lithium, with new sources being explored and oil & gas reservoirs emerging as a potential game-changer. Plus, the future may come with our very own flying taxis! With plans to launch as early as 2025, these vertical takeoff and landing vehicles could soon be a reality.
