This Max Headroom of The Schwurbler Max Mustermann has the typical frusrtation and cynisim of all those Germans that got stuck reaching a point in which they can, but may not. Usually, that happens at a point in the professional career when someone that just is closer to the boss gets the next step and they themselves will have to rest no matter what.
Obviously, the electric car industry is full of shit. From the ingeneeres believing the power train would not need a gear box to save electricty like a combustion engine fuel to missing enough resources for the needed batteries they are run by stupids and ignorants.
The Max Headroom gets all excited about the Taxi Robots coming to take over the Taxi industry, which is not because he understands the technology, but because he understands that innnovation is a key to continuing success and wealth.
About at the point the car robot gives him and his wife sweat showers considering the driving style in a bussy road he'll understand the flaws of a system from a man that made a rocket just bigger or sold an EEG direct connection instead of the medical robot as the innovation, but realy successfully.
All of that is missing the core point.
With robot cars and electric vehicles we still will have not managed to pull about 80% of the world with us up towards a developed and free world.
There are in general two strategies to selfdevelop. You focus on the things you cannot do well and improve them or you focus on the things you can do well and become a master in those.
Realistically, a mixed strategy is needed depending on the position in life and society. Some things are just a must and need a basic level and others are even so brining joy and pleasure not paying any bills.
The West has a huge pile of those bills and our leaders have a mean humor with a lack of character and attitude which everybody knows and they should know that we know since Charly Chaplin's speech on the Passing of Greed that will pass as long men die.
No worries. It is still Survival of the fittest and you are not even the strongest anymore unfit to change to fit into this world, you are in your endgame.
