Sally Dominguez takes us beyond battery-powered vehicles, opening the door to a future featuring hydrogen, “paste”, and ammonia-powered engines. This diverse transition from fossil fuels enables a range of new vehicles for all of the ways we’ll live and work in the decades to come. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now that we know the state of play, can the automotive sector thrive? Mark, Sally & Drew reflect on what they’ve learned on their journey.  

It’s the birth of ‘fabless’ production - manufacturing without huge capital investment. Will we be able to design a car ourselves - inexpensively and safely?

Is our transportation future a sleek clean sci-fi vision or a Max Max redux with added robotics? Could it be hell on wheels - or heaven on earth?

Waste? Not! Designing cars for near-perfect recycling - or do the next billion end up as junk? And can EVs promise zero carbon emissions?

Apps have turned us into ride-sharing, route-planning, ‘micromobility’ experts. We’re all passengers now, with more options than ever before.

Will we cling to of the thrill of acceleration, rush of adrenaline, and roar of a petrol engine? Are we losing our emotional connection to the car?

Transformations in autonomy & electrification give automobile designers a new palette of possibilities - does our experience of driving change?

Tesla drove electric vehicles from impractical to inevitable. Powertrains will soon feature a mix of hydrocarbons, hydrogen - and batteries.

How long until we have self-driving cars? Drew details autonomy, Mark goes for a LIDAR ride & Sally learns about a software back-seat driver.

CES portrays a futuristic auto industry. Detroit holds onto past glories. Everything automotive is changing: can problems become opportunities? Welcome to The Next Billion CARS more on the website: nextbillionseconds.com

Over the next fifteen years - the time it takes to build THE NEXT BILLION CARS - the automobile and the experience it provides will transform completely.  Mark Pesce, Joined by Sally Dominguez & Drew Smith explore the landscape of electrification, autonomy, mobility - and an automotive future that looks nearly nothing like the past and how it's already affecting us today.
