Man he is connecting the past, present and future in Cars and its industry. That's so awesome.

Very superficial talk...which may be needed for the masses (although cannot agree with many of his thoughts)...However, I am surprised when somebody who is experienced in the industry is inspired from this video..!!

Guys, please stop this popups and special effect sound while doing the interview.
Hani doesn’t know about EV and robots.

[@Antihuman518]

നല്ലതല്ലേ source കാണിയ്ക്കുവല്ലേ i felt it intresting

[@501soap]

Popup is fine, sound irritating with headphone

[@jomonjohnson1442]

എന്തിനാ ഈ preview ഇത്രേം ഒക്കെ കാണിക്കുന്നത്?
എന്തായാലും full കാണാൻ താല്പര്യം ഉള്ളവൻ മുഴുവൻ കാണും.

[@WiseUpPodcast_]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@midhunjosey]

Disagree with Hani on what he said about electric being a transition technology. Hybrid is the transition technology. Using Hydrogen for cars is inefficient. You have to use renewable energy to produce electricity which then produces hydrogen which is then again converted to electricity to run a car. Not to mention the cost and infrastructure needed to store and transport hydrogen. Bio Fuels are still a niche and not ready for production ready cars

[@hiran2016]

I do agree with you
