Episode notes

In this episode, Richard Kilgarriff meets the philosopher mechanic who sees our freedom as human beings, democracy no less, reflected in our relationship with road travel, including the language we use to swear at other drivers, is  threatened by automation and bureaucracy.
" What we are talking about is remaking the infrastructure, not just of moving about, but of everything that goes on in a city, and handing it over to a cartel of tech firms - It's quite possible they will make the trains run on time but at the cost of our political sovereignty over our collective life together."
