In the news this week, the government announced that Child Seats will be compulsory, starting January 1st 2020. The guys discuss that and a few car launches that include the exciting and all-new 2020 Honda Jazz. For our feature, Daniel returns from Japan for the Tokyo Motor Show and gives us four of his best highlights of the event. Together, they discuss Daihatsu's new car that could be a part of the New National Car Project, and Toyota's two-pronged strategy that includes battery electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles.
