State of outback EV Charging

This video is something a little different. I took my love of new tech and blended it into a podcast of our experiences with Outback EV charging.
The tech I’m using is the Audio Summary feature of Google’s NotebookLM experimental service. Check out the end of the podcast for more details on how I used it to generate the audio conversation between 2 AI speakers for this video.
It generated a very convincing podcast with banter between two AI generated voices. While it has its limitations at the moment e.g. no Aussie accents, can’t change the voices or edit the transcript - it still produces a very realistic conversation.
It took me about 5 minutes to gather the data for the podcast, and it took Google NotebookLM about 15 minutes to generate the audio.
After that, it took me a number of additional hours to lovingly edit, by hand, the accompanying video. No AI involved there.
Enjoy.

Wow. What a nice video with so many cool information and so beautiful landscape. I hope it is already possible to rent a Tesla Model 3 or Y at the airport in Sydney or Brisbane as I have an upcoming business trip to Australia in February 2025

Thanks. It should be possible. Here is one company advertising Model 3/Y at airports:

There may be others. Have you decided where you want to travel in Australia?

That’s pretty good to be honest. Freaky!

[@AUSY8]

For an experimental service it sure is. Hate to think how good it will be when they turn it into a real product.

It is like watching a US Public Network broadcast. Fun version.

[@AUSY8]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed my PBS Nova episode :)
