Thomas Tan of Ipsos Malaysia joins the show to unpack why 61% of Malaysians would feel safer in a self-driving car and how "first-mile/last-mile" friction is keeping public transport usage at a stagnant 14%. We also explore the shift from "nationality bias" to "value-driven" buying and why your next car might come from a tech giant rather than a traditional automaker.
