GET TECHY WITH IT!

EV Channels Review

This episode of Garage Talk delves into the polarizing topic of automotive technology, with hosts Matt and Cory taking opposing stances. Matt expresses a strong aversion to many modern tech features, particularly automatic headlights, citing over-reliance and potential for driver ignorance. He prefers simpler, older vehicles where mechanical fixes are straightforward. Cory, conversely, embraces technology, viewing it as a valuable tool to supplement driver shortcomings and enhance safety, especially in daily drivers. The discussion touches on Tesla's impact on the industry, the upcoming Gigafactory in Austin, and the rapid expansion of EVs from major manufacturers like GM, Ford, and VW. While both hosts acknowledge the benefits of certain technologies like adaptive cruise control and automatic high beams in specific contexts, Matt's core argument remains that excessive tech can lead to a loss of fundamental driving skills and unnecessary complexity.
