Quirky News: An Overdrive ad; Autonomous car interiors; Painting with car soot; Stolen Ferrari
In our panel discussion with Brian Smith and Errol Smith we take a light-hearted look at stories including:
- A motoring internet site launches an advertising campaign on how thoroughly their testers look at vehicles. We ponder what an Overdrive ad would look like.
- Car manufacturers reimagining interiors for driverless cars – a gym in your car?
- The company turning soot from vehicle exhausts into art
- ‘Surprised’ thieves stole one of world’s rarest Ferraris, court told (and burnt it, probably)

David Brown
David Brown started his working life as a Civil Engineer but you would not want him to design a bridge you wanted to safely walk over. His passion was in traffic engineering and transport planning which is all about how we use our transport systems not how we build them. He soon became involved in commenting on issues through all avenues of the media. He is now a motoring and transport journalist. He test drives a new car each week but his ultimate measure of how good a car is relies on his 12 year old and the Hayden Brown “Will you drive me to school in that car” factor.
