AI, Cars and What’s Real Anymore? Bond, Bots and the Lotus That Refuses to Die

Reality is now optional; cars feel increasingly fictional; James Bond belongs to Amazon; and the Lotus Esprit has returned to mess with our heads

Somewhere between the fifth AI-generated video you didn’t trust and the third car launch you instantly forgot, it dawned on us: we might be living in the uncanny valley… and it’s a charged congestion zone!

That unsettling sense of digital déjà vu is where this latest BCG Podcast begins. I’m joined by Sy from Drivers Union, and together we tumble headfirst into a bonkers tangled conversation about AI, cars, car culture, Bond, books, events, identity and the creeping suspicion that none of us quite know what’s real anymore – including ourselves.
