Host Ed Bernardon is vice president of motorsport and racing strategy at Siemens, a leader in automation and digitalisation. You’ll wonder how a brand podcast could hope for impartiality, but from my experience it seems they keep any bias to one side. The ideal here is to inform about how technologies intersect with broader societal and environmental considerations.

Bernardon brings in all sorts of industry specialists. His conversation with Rob Gray from Red Bull Advanced Technologies is worth checking out. Gray’s perspectives on hybridisation in Formula 1 is fascinating.

This podcast is about more than pure motoring. Town planning, public transportation and the environmental footprint of transport systems also achieve comment. A thought-provoking episode ponders the potential for cities to decrease vehicular congestion to enhance green spaces and air quality is an intriguing idealism. Challenges different geographies face, such as ours, is recognised.

While the show does have a YouTube presence, uploads are limited, and the video presentation style is rigid and unassuming. The audio-only format, accessible via platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, is a far more engaging medium for enjoying this content.

Overall, The Future Car: A Siemens Podcast is a commendable effort that can be considered a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how transportation will evolve and influence our world in the years to come.
