08: Hyundai goes for performance, Mercedes goes for efficiency and Hertz goes AI crazy

We take a look at Hyundai's latest N car, the Ioniq 6 N, and discuss whether Mercedes' focus on efficiency with the new CLA will be enough to attract sales in a cutthroat segment of the market. The car rental space might be one of the last areas you'd think would be upended by the AI revolution, so has Hertz shot itself in the foot or is it a pioneer?
