Are you driving somewhere for the holiday weekend? Here at The Verge we’d like to encourage you to use a car that’s wholly or at least primarily powered by dirty fossil fuels. On this week’s episode of The Vergecast, Nilay, Natt, Casey, and Paul discuss how we’re financially beholden to Big Car, and what to do about it now that Elon Musk has called us out on our bias.
We also got a chance to discuss Nilay’s insane theory about Apple’s dongle suppression campaign, Mark Zuckerberg’s wacky trip to the EU, and spoke with unearned confidence about Dieter’s hands-on with the Red Hydrogen One. Paul’s weekly report on robots that do backflips is, of course, also something that happened.
