Returning guest Darren Orange joins Eric, Walter, and Steve to talk about long-distance EV travel and the associated value of autonomous driver assist systems like FSD.

Eric and Walter speak to GM's SuperCruise, while Steve weighs in on more limited systems like Hyundai Group's HDA2. The Coaster Community also weighs in on their most recent EV journeys and, more importantly, those summer EV road trips that we're all looking forward to.
