Autonomous vehicles promised safer roads, fewer accidents, and a seamless future — but the real-world footage tells a very different story. In this episode, Ken Lucci and James Blain react to a curated set of shocking, hilarious, and sometimes disturbing AV clips, including Tesla autopilot mishaps, snowy-road confusion, near-miss lane changes, and even a tragic cruise-vehicle incident.

From the “cardboard-box test” debate to the ethics of the trolley problem, they break down what the technology actually sees, how it makes decisions, and why operators shouldn’t assume AI thinks anything like a human. They also explore real implications for operators:

• Will AVs really lower insurance premiums?
• How close are we to driverless buses?
• What happens to safety drivers and workforce transition?
• Are regulators and engineers moving fast enough — or too fast?

It’s equal parts education and entertainment as Ken and James take on robo-taxis, Tesla logic, data collection, human instinct, AV ethics, and the future of ground transportation — one wild video at a time.

Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or cautiously optimistic about AV tech, this episode will have you laughing, thinking, and maybe gripping your steering wheel a little tighter.
