The video asks, "What if internal combustion engines were invented today?" Rory Sutherland, an advertising executive and behavioural scientist, offers a hypothetical scenario in which ICE cars are introduced today and electric vehicles (EVs) are already commonplace.
Main Ideas from the Conversation:
In his discussion of the "new" invention of the internal combustion engine, Sutherland remarks on the absurd complexity of the idea [00:00]. The process includes adding combustible liquid to a tank, lighting it on fire, and utilising intricate parts such as gearboxes, radiators, oil filters, air filters, and approximately 117 moving parts, in contrast to an electric vehicle's approximately seven [00:11].
Absence of Evident Benefits: At the 00:24 mark, he wonders what kind of pitch you could give to customers:
Is it less noisy? No. ⚬ Is its performance better? Does it get dirtier? No. No.
While internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are convenient because they can be filled up quickly, there is a major safety concern that you can't fill them up at home because it's too risky to store a lot of flammable petrol underneath a house.
