Overdrive – Cars, Transport & Culture
Originally broadcast: 14 June 2025
Host: David Brown | Guest: Paul Murrell (SeniorDriverAus.com)

In this episode of Overdrive, we explore the intersection of technology, culture, and controversy in the transport world. From electric vehicle supply chains to self-driving cars and tragic consequences of urban mobility experiments, we cover it all. The show blends analysis, interviews, and a dose of humour to make sense of the evolving car and transport landscape.

Key Segments and Topics Covered:

1. News Headlines and Industry Trends
We begin with a look at China’s suspension of key rare earth exports, which has forced companies like Ford to pause production in the U.S. The discussion examines Australia’s opportunity and challenges in filling the gap, particularly around local skills shortages in metallurgy and refining.

2. Commercial Driver Health Reforms
Paul and David unpack a new discussion paper from the National Transport Commission, aimed at improving health screening for commercial drivers. The goal is to detect high-risk conditions—like sleep apnea—before they cause accidents, using evidence-based protocols and fleet-monitoring technology.

3. Artificial Intelligence in Road Safety
Two firms are pushing AI into different lanes of vehicle safety. Nauto supports human drivers with real-time warnings based on driver behaviour, while Imagry is developing fully autonomous, map-free driving. We contrast the philosophical and practical implications of both approaches.

4. Vehicle Ruggedness and Robotic Testing
Ford’s Ranger undergoes brutal durability testing at Victoria’s You Yangs proving ground using robotic test drivers—highlighting the importance of consistency and safety in off-road evaluation. The discussion also references how electric powertrains could enhance off-road capability.

5. E-scooter Fatality and Policy Response in Perth
A tragic incident involving a pedestrian killed by a drunk e-scooter rider has led to an indefinite suspension of Perth’s e-scooter hire program. Paul and David discuss the broader implications of poor regulation, excessive speeds, and rising injury statistics across Australia.

6. The Rapid Rise of Waymo in San Francisco
Self-driving car company Waymo now accounts for 27% of San Francisco’s rideshare market. We explore why consistency, comfort, and reduced crash rates are contributing to faster-than-expected adoption of autonomous vehicles, despite their higher cost compared to traditional rideshare options.

7. Car Myths Debunked
From battery longevity and fuel economy to aerodynamics and fire risk in EVs, the team breaks down popular car myths. Key points include:

Car batteries can last well beyond five years with proper maintenance.

Smaller engines aren’t always more fuel-efficient in real-world driving.

EVs are statistically less likely to catch fire than petrol vehicles, but fires are harder to extinguish.

8. Spotlight: Giotto Bizzarrini
We dive into the remarkable story of Giotto Bizzarrini, a brilliant but overlooked automotive engineer who worked with Ferrari, Lamborghini, and others before creating his own exotic car marque. The discussion includes a recent revival of his 5300 GT Strada and the challenges of branding in the automotive world.

9. Road Test: 2025 Mitsubishi Triton GLS
We test the latest Mitsubishi Triton dual cab ute and assess its appeal to both tradies and families. Topics include:

Toughness and payload capability

Security and lockable tray cover

Interior simplicity vs. tech complexity

Safety features and lane assist quirks

Parking challenges due to size
We also touch on the marketing impact of using Russell Coight in ads, and how humour wears thin over time.

Valimistulemused näitasid, et inimsõbralik linnaruum on sõnum, millega tuleb hääli juurde küll. Saates "Cleantech" on külas Vok Bikes'i kaasasutaja Indrek Petjärv ja Ampler Bikes'i juhatuse liige Kristjan Maruste, kes selgitavad, miks Euroopa on maailma suurim elektrirataste turg ning kuidas Eesti ettevõtted aitavad kujundada uut linnaliikumise kultuuri.

Tallinnas kasvab jalgratta ja tõukeratta kasutus kiiresti, kuid rattateede võrgustik vajab veel läbimõeldust. Kui me planeeriksime raudteed samamoodi nagu rattateed, siis me jääksimegi paarikilomeetriste üksikute juppide juurde rongi ootama ning imestaksime, miks see ei käi, toovad saatekülalised välja.

„Tallinna kui linna probleem ei ole mitte kikilipsu kuju, vaid see, et on nagu saartel põhinev linn – Kadriorus on hea liigelda, Kalamajas samuti, aga kui need omavahel ühendada, tekivad vastikud surnud tsoonid,“ märgib Kristjan Maruste.

Indrek Petjärve sõnul näitab statistika, et rattaliiklus moodustab Tallinnas juba 4–5% kogu liikumisest, mis on võrreldav Londoni näitajatega. „Arenguruumi on palju, aga viimastel aastatel on progress väga selgelt näha.“ lisab ta.

Kuigi mõlema ettevõtte kodu on Eestis, käib suurem osa müügist ja arengust väljaspool. „Me müüme 70% oma ratastest Saksamaal ja 20% Šveitsis – seega oleme sisuliselt Saksa turu ettevõte, kuigi tootmine ja arendus on Tallinnas,“ ütleb Kristjan Maruste.

Ampler on viimastel kuudel saanud uue hoo tänu uuele mudelile Nova, mis pälvis Euroopa suurimal jalgrattanäitusel Eurobike Gold Award'i, mis on tõstnud aasta võrdluses müüki juba üle 40%. 
Ka Vok Bikes on hetkel rohkem kui 14 välisturul ning Eesti osakaal on äris pigem väikene. "Võib öelda, et kui eelmine aasta müüsime ühe ratta Eesti turul, siis see aasta oli rahulikum." naljatab Petjärv.

Lähemalt nii kergliikluse tulevikust, rataste järelturust, Euroopa suurlinnadest õpitust ning selle Eestisse üle toomisest saab kuulda juba saatest.

Saadet juhib Mart Valner.

21.10.25 Cleantech: kui Rail Balticat ehitataks nagu rattateid, siis me jääksimegi rongi ootama

Eesti ettevõtted ja liidud on koos Rohetiigriga pannud paika, kuhu majandus liigub järgmisel 15 aastal. Terava luubi all on energeetika, transport, ehitus, maakasutus ning tööstus ja ringmajandus. Kuu aja pärast on valmis neid ühendav peateekaart, mis võtab valdkonnad kokku ning näitab riske ja vajalikke tegevusi.

“Teekaartide mõte on pakkuda pikaajalist kindlustunnet nii ettevõtjatele kui näidata riigile, mida ettevõtjad ja erasektor on valmis tegema selleks, et riik saaks endale püstitatud ülesanded täita,” ütles Rohetiigri eestvedaja Andres Veske saates “Kestlikul kursil”.

Kindlustunnet pole tema sõnutsi pikalt olnud energeetikas, kus pole aru saada, kuhu liigume, milliseid energialiike arendame ja miks planeeringud takerduvad. “See on riigi tasemel üks väga suur küsimus, sest täna otsustatakse ühte, homme öeldakse juba midagi teist, kui tuleb uus valitsus ja uus ideoloogia,” nentis Veske.

Samuti on selgusetus transpordis, kus oleme maha kukkunud trajektoorilt, mida transpordi teekaart pea kaks aastat tagasi ette nägi, tõi saates välja Rohetiigri peateekaardi koostaja ja autoettevõtete liidu juht Kersten Kattai. “Tuumprobleem transpordis ei ole mitte see transport, mis tegeleb ettevõtlusega – raskeveondus ja bussid –, vaid ennekõike meie kõigi isiklikud sõiduautod, kus tuleb enam kui kaks kolmandikku süsinikuheitmest,” rääkis Kattai.

Lahendus oleks tema sõnul platvorm, mis ühendaks kõik transpordivahendid, ka tõuksid ja taksod. Samuti ühtne pilet, mida saaks igal pool kasutada. Nagu välismaal tehakse, ainult me ei ole seda siiani suutnud, tõdes Kattai. “Sellise keskkonna loomist arutame enam kui kümme aastat, see ei ole nii keeruline.”

Samuti räägime saates hoonete energiatõhustamisest. Hinnangute järgi on vaja renoveerida 25 miljonit ruutmeetrit hoonefondi ning renoveerimise maht on 2050. aastani 24 miljardit eurot. Kuidas kümneid miljardeid mõistlikult kasutada ja miks teeb odav elekter hoopis karuteene, kuuleb lähemalt saatest.

Ka on juttu maakasutusest ja metsandusest ning töösturite huvidest ning tööstusest ja ringmajandusest, mille teekaart alles valmib.

Teekaartidest kuuleb lähemalt 26. novembril toimuval Tasakaalus majanduse foorumil "Elevant toas".

23.10.25 Kestlikul kursil. Rohetiigri eestvedaja: üht lahendust arutame 10 aastat, see ei ole nii keeruline

Äripäeva raadio sisuturundussaade süveneb taksondusmaailma kiiretesse arengutesse. Saatejuht Tõnu Einasto vestleb kolme ala eksperdiga: Forus Takso tegevjuhi Tiit Isopi, Enefiti laadimistaristu ja partnersuhete juhi Robert Kutsari ning pikaajalise autoajakirjaniku Raivo Murdega.

Arutluse all on elektri- ja hübriidtaksode kasvav populaarsus, mis pakuvad vaikset ja mugavat sõidukogemust ning efektiivsemat opereerimist. Tiit Isop räägib Forus Takso kogemusest uute tehnoloogiate integreerimisel ja taksojuhtide toetamisel. Robert Kutsar selgitab, kuidas Enefiti laadimistaristu toetab elektritranspordi arengut Eestis, tagades taksodele töökindluse ja mugavuse. Raivo Murde annab laiema ülevaate globaalsetest trendidest, vesiniktaksode ja isesõitvate autode võimalustest ning nendega kaasnevatest väljakutsetest.

Miks eelistavad kliendid kaasaegseid lahendusi ning kuidas tehnoloogia kujundab taksonduse tulevikku? Külalised kummutavad müüte ja pakuvad visiooni tuleviku taksondusest, mis on täis uusi lahendusi ja mugavamaid teenuseid.

Kuula saadet ja saa teada, millised on taksondusmaailma kõige põnevamad innovatsioonid!
