[00:52:49] S0: No. It's over. It's over. [00:52:50] S1: That's very fun. I like that. Let's see. The Alpha, Waymo, Turbo, MOGS, the Beta, Zooks, the Sigma Cyber Cab watches on a muse holding frame. They they... All three of them were caught on the same street? That's actually funny. I I love that the cyber cab went with, like, gold because I see it as a nod to the yellow cab. I see it as, like, a taxi color more than, like, it's golden ostentatious. What do you think? [00:53:16] S0: This is really funny. [00:53:17] S1: This is really, really funny. Holding frame. Doomr, very funny post. It's actually pushing it out of the way. This is like... This is a new new benchmark, new new arena, new new LM arena feature, AV arena. They they should do AV arena at arena where they put them all, like, demolition derby style in, like, a corral, like, it's a rodeo, like, a monster truck rally, and they all have to do... What's that called? There's some game. Twisted metal. You know that? You know, Twisted metal? Anybody? [00:53:57] S0: Do you think Waymo should enter the World Rally Championship? [00:54:02] S1: It'd be amazing. I think all I think all the AV companies should be doing like events and... [00:54:07] S0: Well, I think some... One one of them... I think it was Xiaomi just did an autonomous run at the Nurburgring. [00:54:15] S1: No way. [00:54:15] S0: Yeah. Yeah. How did you... About ten minutes. [00:54:17] S1: Ten minutes. Wow. Not superhuman yet. Good luck. What do you think of electric motorcycles, Jordy? [00:54:28] S0: I have one.
00:54:28 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan, Gavin Baker
[00:54:28] S0: I have one. [00:54:29] S1: Do you think... Do you like electric motorcycles more than electric cars or electric cars more than electric motorcycles? [00:54:37] S0: I got mine because it's silent. That's cool. Like, a relatively silent, and I just didn't wanna bother. It's like a dirt bike. [00:54:43] S1: Is that... Is the benefit that, like, you're more likely to be riding in nature where it's quiet? So the... Because if you're just on a freeway, whether it's silent or not, there's so much road noise, it doesn't really matter, like... [00:54:53] S0: No. It was purely, for my neighbors. Like, just thought it... I thought it'd be mildly annoying to them. [00:54:59] S1: Yep. No. That makes sense. [00:55:00] S0: Like, if I'm riding over to a friend's house [00:55:03] S1: Oh, sure. [00:55:03] S2: Sure. Sure. [00:55:03] S0: Sometimes I'll be Yeah. Riding, like, at night. [00:55:06] S1: Yeah. I was doing some analysis on, like, is it going to be in the future? If cars continue to electrify and the vast majority of cars are electric in a couple years, will be... Will living next to a freeway be less annoying? Because you won't have all the engine noise and all the smogs. So maybe it won't be that bad living next to a freeway if you can't see it. You know? What's the problem? Well There's tons of road noise, though. [00:55:32] S0: There's gonna be the lone Harley Davidson. Yeah. Just taking full advantage. [00:55:38] S1: And the guy was... [00:55:38] S0: The funny thing is that the... Dodge Charger. You know, Harley Davidson having EV troubles [00:55:42] S1: Yes.
00:55:42 · John Coogan, Jordi Hays, Gavin Baker
[00:55:42] S1: Yes. [00:55:42] S0: Is so predictable. Why? Because the... I feel like the average Harley Davidson, like, enthusiast Yep. Like, is obsessed with how much noise they can make. [00:55:52] S2: A 100%. [00:55:52] S0: Like, it seems to be like the singular obsession of of motorcyclists of like, how much noise can they make? There's literally Mhmm. I can't tell you as a parent how many times I've been like walking and I end up like stopping and covering Oh yeah. Children's ears because I know the motorcyclists have like a stop sign. The second it goes green, they're gonna try to make as much noise as possible. Mhmm. They're they're like and and their argument, I think, would be that it's a It's safety safety thing. [00:56:19] S1: Safety? [00:56:20] S0: Yeah. When they're in traffic, they're revving to let people know, like, there's Oh, a motorcycle okay. Like it's it's a way to signal to somebody don't shift lane. [00:56:29] S1: Oh, I've never heard that before. [00:56:30] S0: Like, yeah. That that's like [00:56:32] S1: Okay. [00:56:32] S0: That's their justification for it. Clearly, they're just mad that they're not in a sports car. And so that's their way of sort of like getting out that frustration. [00:56:40] S1: Well, loud motorcycles. [00:56:42] S0: I I I cannot You can't [00:56:45] S1: stand it? [00:56:46] S0: I cannot stand it. It's, you know, a crime against your your Your eardrums? Your fellow citizens. [00:56:53] S1: Interesting. Well, LiveWire was working on a solution, but it's been a little bit rough. So,
00:56:53 · John Coogan, Jordi Hays
[00:56:53] S1: Interesting. Well, LiveWire was working on a solution, but it's been a little bit rough. So, [00:57:00] S0: And, yeah, so so again, like, hey, g g b u says the average motorcycle rider can name several times they likely would have died if they were on a silent bike. So again, like, there's no buyer for this. Like, there's [00:57:14] S1: Because they're willing to risk it all? Is that the idea? [00:57:16] S0: Or No, no, no. It's like they... Like, because they're constantly sending out a ping to other people Hey. Because the bike is Oh, so [00:57:24] S1: okay. I I had no idea about this. This is interesting. Okay. Yeah. So they won't they won't want the silent bike. [00:57:28] S0: Yeah. You've been sitting in traffic and you hear like Yeah. Yeah. And then you and then you realize like, I shouldn't merge. Right? Yeah. Yeah. [00:57:35] S1: What about your speakers? Add speakers to it that are super loud. [00:57:39] S0: Yeah. Yeah. The bullhorn and then it's just the the But you can have your favorite sound effects. Like, imagine.
00:57:45 · John Coogan
[00:57:45] S1: This one? Yeah. Just just every time I fire on my bike. I'm going. I'm a make it go. Like that? It only shipped 358, electric motorcycles. They had predicted that in 2026, they would sell more than a 100,000. Wow. That is rough. Just a bit off. Very, very off. They started this project in 2014. But on, Monday, LiveWire, which is the subsidiary of the brand of Harley Davidson working on these electric motorcycles, announced that a special restructuring committee is weighing the company's options following resignation of the chief executive officer last week. Ruff, the CEO quit. Intended... The company said the moves are intended to facilitate a comprehensive evaluation of our strategic alternatives. LiveWire shares closed up 2%, though they are down 62 since the start of the year. I think this is just a realization of the economics. And yes, didn't the F-one 150 Lightning fail as well? That's And another example. I mean, that's less related to safety, but just when you think about the F-one 150 buyer, they want a big gas engine. They want an internal combustion engine. Electric trucks, it always felt like it was gonna be a hard sell even though there were some amazing amenities like the the front trunk that you could tailgate out of, the 240 volts, you know, you know, appliance level power so you can power tools. Like, it seemed useful, but it just wasn't in the in the zeitgeist the way that, oh, if you've been driving a Prius and then it's fully electric, it's kinda just like an appliance car that you're using to drive around. You don't you don't have a strong identity tied to the motor.
