100 - Annoying safety features in new Electric Cars, finding the balance

Two Blokes Talking Electric Cars - The EV Podcast

Show Notes

Anyone who owns or has driven a new car lately might have come across the annoying beeps and bongs that happen when you get near the speed limit or look too long at the radio, or perhaps get close to the edge of your lane on the road.

These safety features are known as ADAS - but they are often annoying. We catch up with Shawn Ticehurst from NRMA Insurance's Research Lab about what they are doing to research the feelings of drivers toward these systems.

Plus, we've driven the all-electric Kombi - the VW ID.Buzz, and Ben joins us to talk about his classic wagon as he considers an electric wagon.
