Vans with Range and Cars with Brains?

from Kilowatt: A Podcast about Electric Vehicles · host 918Digital

In this episode, we dive into the latest developments in electric and autonomous vehicle technology. Uber selects the first city for its Lucid Gravity robotaxi rollout, signaling a major step forward in driverless ride-hailing. Meanwhile, Tesla's Full Self-Driving v14 continues to underwhelm with reports of erratic behavior including braking and hallucinations. Kia makes headlines with its electric van setting a Guinness World Record for range. We also look at Lucid’s ambitions to deliver a ‘mind-off’ autonomous driving experience with Nvidia’s tech. And for a deeper understanding of EV range testing, a YouTube breakdown of WLTP and EPA procedures is featured.
