In this episode of Overdrive, David Brown and Paul Murrell discuss the latest in headlight testing technology at Mercedes-Benz, the real-world usability of driver aids and infotainment systems, and the challenges of understanding electric vehicle range. Plus, a look at GWM’s new Tank 500 plug-in hybrid SUV and how China's automakers are reshaping the value equation in Australia’s large SUV market.
This Overdrive episode captures the tension between technological innovation and practical execution. Whether it’s headlights that bend around corners or plug-in SUVs that can tow 3 tonnes, the industry is evolving fast. But poor user interfaces, inconsistent standards, and unclear real-world data can still frustrate even the most experienced drivers.

First-ever redesign of Genesis GV60 makes Korean debut
Some of the thoughts that came out of a chat with Justin Douglas who is head of Genesis in Australia
Genesis is Hyundai’s Lexus
Sales volumes aren’t high, but orders are starting to look good
They only have five dealers
Servicing can be done by Hyundai Dealers
No haggle pricing

Stuart Sharp Railway history and a critical item for facilitating travel (public toilets)
I have always seen the provision of public toilets as a key issue of mobility. Particularly for women.
The reason for charging money is usually for the maintenance of the equipment. In NSW it was to limit the riff raff
Paying to use a toilet can be traced back almost 2000 years
As this is the anniversary from 1973 of legislation being passed to remove the charges on toilets in Chicago, the first American city to enact a ban
There is such a thing as The American Restroom Association
In Australia we here about several centenary anniversaries of developments in public toilets at railway stations
Road Test of the Genesis GV80 coupe
