    The Honda Prologue is a good looking, if somewhat unremarkable looking Honda SUV that happens to be electric. I've seen a few Prologues around town and you'd never know they were an EV. They're definitely on the spendy side for what you get. It's surprising that so many have sold, especially considering that Honda and dealers have not been aggressive with incentives.

    Great video man, shocking that it only has 300 views. I believe if you could maybe just get a better thumbnail (something like the car flying) and kept the flow of the video very linear and a little bit more engaging (try not to have um and ahs throughout the video ie. Doug Demuro would be a great influence.), I believe you could go big. Good luck!

    Kudos to the Ford Motor Company for financing/managing this miraculous restoration. We’re talking almost a BILLION dollar$ here. Well worth it though.

  • @karlInSanDiego
    @karlInSanDiego 2 місяці тому

    Car makers who insist on focusing on developing software defined vehicles have lost the plot. Cars are actually facing an existential dilemma, because disposable, fast fashion cars will not be viable with the lens of Climate Crisis and critically tracking the emissions needed to build, operate, and recycle. We're in a golden age of obscenely wasteful consumption as we tart up EVs to bait drivers into paying the cost of a mortgage to drive one. That will end, when reality of our very effed up world finally smacks us in the face and we recognize we have lived 13 tons CO2e a year outside our budget. Then it'll be e-bikes, electric trams & trains (pantograph, not BEV) and building new cars will be very quickly abandoned. I'm an EE who has studied Climate Crisis, Life Cycle Assessment, and sustainable transportation for a number of years. We're living in a bubble believing we can get cars to zero emissions LCA or anywhere close to it. Overcomplicating cars to a level where OTAs or bugs in the code make or break whether or not a car continues to operate will only lead to earlier vehicle retirement, which will not be tolerated in the rubric of actual sustainable transportation. Keep It Simple Stupid will become a critical design criteria to make long lasting durable goods.

    • @karlInSanDiego
      @karlInSanDiego 2 місяці тому

      Researchers already proved decades ago that a car that can drive itself MUST lead to inattentive driving. So Level 3 autonomous driving is inherently less safe than no autonomy at all.

    Those who forget their children / pets / or whatever life in the car should not be driving on the road. Trash option that 99% of the people will find absolutely useless. Instead of doing sh*t to the vehicle that is cosmetic, why not give the 14 year old car an entire redesign. I've already gone through 2 Sienna's. Unless it is a redesign, I won't even consider.

      it's the absence of a political agenda. They don't want it to comment on anything controversial in one direction or another because they have no idea how the AI may respond in any given instance. VW doesn't want it to be for or against any side but just to answer basic queries in the most neutral way possible.
