TT Episode 207: Alex Roy on what autonomy actually means for the enthusiast

from Tormenting Tarmac · host Jorge Aquino

What is going on everyone and welcome back to TT. This week, I am so honored to welcome Alex Roy! Alex is known for his multiple adventures in the Cannonball world, his exceptional writing, eccentric car collection and as of late his consultancy in the world of autonomy. We have a fantastic discussion about how manufacturers actually used cannonball back in the day to appease the public on the automobile, why the E39 BMW M5 is the greatest sports sedan of all time, the story of his family escaping Europe in the second World War, and why Morgan is still fantastic as a brand to this day.This was an amazing discussion with one of the most fascinating dudes in all of automotive media. I look forward to doing more episodes with Alex. This is a motoring podcast, and enthusiasts never die!
