The Driven Podcast: EVs hit record high as car lobby flags structural shift

Published by

EVs have hit another record high in Australia, with Tesla and BYD leading a landmark month for the local car market. We unpack the June sales figures, including the Tesla Model Y topping the charts, BYD coming within striking distance of Toyota, and the car lobby acknowledging what looks like a permanent structural shift in the market. Plus, we speak Mike Atkinson about advanced driver assistance systems, and what the car industry can learn from aviation when it comes to automation, safety and driver responsibility.
