BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts.

Hello, I'm Tina Dehealy and this is Beyond Today from BBC Radio 4,

the space to ask one big question about one big story.

Today, will I never need a car?

Now one of the biggest news stories around today Land Rover Jaguar announcing thousands

of job cuts. Now how the car industry is doing is traditionally treated as a sign of how the country is doing.

But what about the bigger picture, the future of car use, will we even need, use or own cars

in the future.

And what about people who drive cars for a living?

Justin Rowlet is a BBC reporter.

Now, he wrote an article which got a huge reaction

all about the future of the car industry. His headline, why you have in

brackets probably already bought your last car. Now let me tell you Justin is very passionate about all this stuff as

you are about to hear. He's been investigating and he came to the Beyond Today's

studio over the next 20 minutes we'll hear him talking about AI, driverless cars, the role of carpooling,

and some of the interviews he's done with people who really know about this stuff, including

one of the big Uber bosses.

Right, Justin, you believe a revolution is on the way when it comes to cars,

but before we talk about that, let's talk about our car use.

Phillies here, who's producing today's program along with

Serin who here has a license drives a car. I've got a license but I haven't got a

car so. All right let's start with you. Okay.
