Ep. 355: Cancel Car-centric Culture?!

About this episode

Josh and Evan discuss the implications of car-centric culture and its potential evolution.

This week, the guys are back to chatting about cars. But wait, wait, wait! Before you skip the episode to avoid another "How Cars Work" fiasco, this car conversation is much cooler. As a couple of Americans from the Midwest, Josh and Evan are used to a car-centric culture. But is that a good thing, or could we all benefit from cutting out cars? It might actually be impossible to cut cars completely at this point, but the guys have differing opinions on how car culture could evolve in the future. Will cars ever completely drive themselves or become flying chauffeurs? Or are they destined to always have drivers? The guys weigh in on these questions and more, and they sprinkle some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits before checking what's coming up on the calendar!
