If you are looking to learn something new, you should go see an expert on that topic. They have studied it for years, know the details, and can explain it in a way you can understand. For example, This video is from an optical engineer explains how to see better when driving at night. However, entertainment is not always educational and sometimes it is fun to just sit back and listen to someone say many things that you already know and agree with, like this anti-union former Volkswagen employee. It has a cleansing effect.
The video below is definitely the latter, so if you’re hoping to learn something this isn’t the video for you. However, if you’re bored with new car trends then it’s exactly what you’ll enjoy watching. It’s just a regular guy, not an enthusiast, slowly losing his mind over various trends in the auto industry. We’ll also give him a bonus point for being the rare successful YouTuber who owns something other than a Tesla. We probably would have chosen something other than the Hyundai Sonata, but you could do a lot worse with your YouTube money.
Considering the video is only 30 minutes long (still long but you can always watch it at double speed and cut it down to 15 minutes), it’s impressive how many topics he’s able to cover.
The new transmission controller eliminates the traditional PRNDL shifter? Check. Is the rate of distracted driving and road deaths increasing? Check. Are all the controls integrated into the touchscreen with no buttons? Check. Retractable door handle stuck in winter? Check. Are people’s headlights unnecessarily blinding at night? Check. The arms race to build ever-bigger cars? Check.
And that’s just in the first 15 minutes. He also included a clip from Not Just Bikes, the clowns on the Cybertruck, and then rented one to see if it was really as bad as it sounds. As mentioned earlier, you probably already know everything he talks about in the video, but if you share his frustrations, who cares? Enjoy Drew slowly going crazy over everything so you don’t have to.
