If his numbers are crunched correctly, the theories and models he explains will all come about on the timelines described, IMO.
Unfortunately, I think he has some of these models and their development into the market skewed. First, to believe that the US electrical grid is going to be totally disrupted to solar production in even 15 yrs. is a real reach. Every estimate and projection by those in the electrical production field, show that the development away from fossil fuels will be slower.
His take on autonomous vehicles is very interesting and, if the technology becomes mainstream quickly, I, as a trailer tower am going to be happy. Heck, I may just drive my second EV vehicle, a car, alongside to the campground. If my trailer needs a push over a hill, maybe I'll be able to link up to the towing combination and offer help getting to the top. It also begs the question of how easily it may be to afford EV drive axles on a trailer and have the motion controlled through an autonomous linked towing vehicle.
Overall, I enjoyed the lecture and hope that 90% of what he claims about disruption follows the timelines so I and my family can enjoy it. Cool stuff.
