The game is the latest installment in a franchise that many people consider the absolute pinnacle of automotive video games, and - no surprise- it’s been getting rave reviews from the press and fans alike. Get your copy and start playing today: bit.ly/3N0wrey
We all want a big screen in the dash that tells us where we’re going, a backup camera, a smooth and efficient transmission, and absolutely everything computerized, optimized, and not difficult for us to manage. What if we told you all those features started life as cool new bells and whistles on Japanese production cars a long, long time ago? What if we told you nearly every part inside your Ford had its origins inside a Japanese car?

Doing an engineering management module in college and all that stuff you said about Toyota and lean production etc. is 100% correct. Toyota are pretty much 100% responsible for how cars are nowadays and manufacturing in general, truly the greatest car manufacturer ever.
You can also take those concepts and apply them to any business or organization. Which is vastly needed because it's an active way to counter the bureaucracy that naturally forms when any organization gets to a certain size.
It was really hard to do some inventory management back when this system was absent in company because they said it was not necessary and pain in the ass doing it. But, when they saw another company who did that system was being successful and they said "It was nice to see it tidy and efficient, why we dont adopt it?". Once this happened, everyone will follow it with chain reaction with others and that was the magic of innovation that changed how it worked in our life.
Germany makes better cars.
I made a quality management course for health workers. Deming and his work for Toyota is one of the central lessons of the course because its so important and you can use it for so many fields.
Yup, here's something even more interesting. What's known as the Toyota was is highly influenced by the American, Edward Demming. He pioneered these lean and efficient quality models. He tried taking these concepts to American companies and they all told him to pound sand. But, the Japanese manufacturers at the time, coming out of WW2, were eager to learn, especially Toyota. Thus began the lean, efficient, high quality Japanese products boom.
Jeremiah is 22 years old according to the Gran Turismo 7 ad but states "I used to have to print out directions" from Mapquest back in the day. Mapquest hasn't been a thing for 17 years!
😉
He did say he was born in 2001 one time, though it's obviously a joke.
You can still obtain some…… just cuz it’s been a while mean u can’t get it ??
Dudes like 40 I think
This is the comment I was looking for. Thank you.
YO, A GT7 SPONSORSHIP?? Considering you already did an Ip to Speed on Gran Turismo, which truly showed your love for the game, this is fully deserved.
This video itself is proof of how much care goes into making stuff for this channel.
Ahhh yes, Mapquest. I remember my parents always asking “did you get the Mapquest” before we left on trips
My parents still say this whenever they need the gps... just mapquest it!
I remember using this to go on dates
I'm only 43 and I still find myself saying Mapquest, when I need to find directions.
I'm analog in many ways. I like paper copies of stuff. My brain absorbs better that way.
There's also no way Jerry is old enough to have had to use it...
That stack of papers on the dash was quite a sight as a kid.
Of course it was Toyota that solved the reliability problem. That's their whole thing.

It was the tighter tolerances, that allowed Japanese cars to last so long back in the 70s and 80s. Now everyone has gone much tighter with their specs. Makes for much smoother longer lasting machine
Its incredible what the Japanese industry was able to pull in their genesis. After ww2 all that energy and talent pooled for imperialism instead went to rebuilding the country in a way that wasn’t self destructive.
Meanwhile, here in the west, we are trying everything to destroy our civilization.🤷
@@daimonmt Japan is not far behind. Have U seen their reproductive numbers. They are all just watching anime till they die.
@@seetheanimal5867 We got South Korea to save us
You are not wrong but there is a bigger component to Japan's success. They invested heavily on education and ingrained it in their culture. This is not exclusive to Japan either, South Korea also went heavy on education and its paying off for them big time.
@@seetheanimal5867 that is very inaccurate, Japan's corporate work culture strikes a really poor work-life balance. With individuals having so little time left and so much social pressures to strive at work, less and less people are having kids as they often feel they simply can't balance their work needs with having children.
There are definitely shortcomings, but GT7 is awesome. Cool to see them sponsor you
Also the rollover thing (while I personally already knew) explains a lot why the back window of my Fiesta ST was like 2 inches long

"Gyrocator" is an awesome name and actually pretty cool tech for the time. I can only imagine it would need to have the location reset pretty frequently as even a small amount of error would add up over time.

It was worth mentioning GT2 for years. I liked the twist at the end of it too.
Its no wonder why Japanese had so many innovation,they didnt want to build giant cars,like they did in the US.
I mean Toyota building giant trucks just fine. Tundras are by far the best trucks sold in the U.S. Can find several accounts of owners of these trucks going a couple hundred thousand miles in them with no failures occurring. American trucks just can't compare.
I had a chance to buy one of those electro gyrocators for my 1980 civic about 10 years ago. It was super cool, always reminded me of a pip-boy and fallout 3 maps; didn't pick it up because it was $$$ for something that had no real practical application for me besides looking cool at cars n coffee.
Donut media, congrats on getting a sponsor from Sony and freaking GT7!!
This is the definition of made it to the top, along with Hyundai.... To be refognized by such large multi national companies is awesome
And Jerry, u r right... They do it for money
Kaizen or something
Your videos have gotten to the point that I can watch every single one and be super entertained! This is awesome! Keep up the good work!
Wonder how long of a list you can make of things that put a smile on Nick's face!
Love the content guys!
Greetings from the Netherlands
This week was the best week of my life. I got to see a couple cool cars, I saw a BMW E29, an imported bug eye Subaru imprezza sti, son kind of Jaguar and 2 Saabs, a 92X and one I can't identify. I love in Canada and it's very unusual to see these rare cars, I'm surprised I even got to see any of them.
I saw a first-gen Scion xB the other day (never sold in Canada)...first time I've seen one in person.
WE WANT UP TO SPEED ON SKODA!!!
Honestly the best ad I'd ever watched
that was the best ad y’all have done. I loved the end with Jeremiah going in reverse in the sim setup lmao
So many positive comments on your sponsorship and I’ll add one more.
You guys truly deserve it, proud of you guys and this community keep making these lovely videos guys.
Reaching my 5th year as a car guy, and you guys taught me a lot.

Must say, the navigation part hit different because of watching the episode on my phone, where my speedo usually is in my 1992 Opel. Quite nice, keep up the good work.!

That wasn't even an ad it was a awesome short video within this awesome video 👌🏼
I'm playing GT7 right now!
Remember they did an UTS episode on GT franchise? Yamauchi-san probably saw that and thought the guys at donut did a pretty good job telling their stories.
Plus, the game just fits the theme of this B2B episode!
I also had a 1995 Lexus SC300, and then later bought a 1994 SC400 after a deer was attracted to its beauty, late one night. Gotta be one of the coolest Japanese cars ever made, and they last forever!
or until you hit a deer I guess
I remember before they had a mil subs not too long ago. Love to see these guys have continued success !
When he said "later Nolan" and reversed I lost it. I was not expecting that lmao
4:18 You skipped some very important years from the history of auto manufacturing. The Training Within Industry used a "small-step work improvement" during WWII military equipment manufacturing instead of big steps that required more time to implement. When Homer Sarasohn went to Japan as part of the nuclear fallout reparations, he brought this management technique with him, which became known as kaizen. Kaizen originated as an Amercian management technique, not Japanese. It's just happened that this American was working in a Japanese factory, so the first factory to use it was in Japan.
Was looking for this comment. Learned this in my operations class.
yep true, learned this in my engineering management module in college. Funny how an american is responsible for the decline in US manufacturing and the skyrocket of Japanese manufacturing
Yooooo shoutout to mapquest !!! True throwback ! I used to be hype to read the directions and get us there correctly !!

9:13 It's wrong Toyota weren't the first to put a color touch screen in their cars, but Oldsmobile in 89 with the Toronado and then Buick. (I'm not a pro American car persons since I'm French. But, on this point and many others in terms of technology and safety. American and European cars have been ahead, the Japanese have just often greatly simplified and therefore reliability of the systems.
Dude, you don't gotta be sorry for stating facts :D If it's true, it's true. Every car brand has its pros and cons. All cars are deserving of love.
Oui surtout que l'automobile moderne c'est grâce à l'Europe et notamment la France : châssis monocoque, suspension double triangulation, transmission traction que l'on retrouve sur la Citroën Traction Avant en 1934 et qui maintenant est la base.
Toyota had color touchscreens in 1987 (MS137 Crown)
@@jacobcirulis9324 Didn't some sub-brand of Mazda have a touch screen too? One of Mazda's luxury sub-brands
@@skythundersky1544 The JC Eunos Cosmo had a color touchscreen with CD-ROM navigation in 1990, like Toyota had done in 1987. The Cosmo CCS is distinctive because it uses GPS, while Toyotas EMV was still inertial.
A little disappointed that it wasn't mentioned that post-WWII, Japan needed to salvage their shattered industries and ensure things worked for long periods of time, which was one of the main impetuses in producing things like vehicles with high-reliability and low downtime.
Like how Toyota had programs or something dedicated to rebuilding old toyotas to keep them running. I'm sure Datsun did the same and then Honda later on too. Their auto industry was molded by a need for reliable efficient cars. I remember seeing old footage of a Toyota fj40 going in for a full service and carb rebuild and greasing everything up before heading back out and alot of roads were still crappy and rough as hell. Probably also why Denso started to make so many high quality long lasting parts for cars. Like denso spark plugs reccomended to change every 100k but I've seen Hondas and toyotas with 150k on oem denso and they run fairly good and don't even look half bad for being way overdue
@@redlinearroyo847 Its a testament to how products can indeed be engineered to last, however bullshit business practices lead to shitty cars being built.
Really, the engineers and what they've achieved is incredible. But if a business is rotten on the inside it's shitty practices show, much like planned obsolescese.
At least Toyota still builds reliable machines today. I changed OEM coil packs on my GX470 at 220k miles, and ironically enough only did that due to a bad diagnosis. Come to find out all the coilpacks are just fine... Its pretty insane how well engineered they have been
@@d1sturb3d119 my Honda had oem ignition wires, spark plugs, radiator and almost everything was oem besides air filter and oil on the car. Most of that stuff I had to replace when it got 20 years old but that's pretty good. Also all Denso products.
@@redlinearroyo847 My '92 SC400 still has a ton of OEM parts on it despite being a drift/track car. Honestly I'm surprised people don't like these kinds of cars more. It keeps on going. Even when I don't stay on top of maintenance.
Like I can honestly say I love the cars I own. They've been dependable, haven't left me stranded, and despite the abuse I put on them, they take it and give me joy when they're pushed.
Its like everything an enthusiast wants from a car that won't be a bitch to you :P
Great show, love ya work, cheers from an eX Australian auto worker ✌🏼🇦🇺
Purolator (literally Pure-oil-later, but with that early 1900s marketing jazz) was/is a Canadian company, too. Within a few decades, they had dropped the oil filter thing and moved onto becoming, basically, a privatised branch of Canada Post, and are currently a fully private courier service like FedEx, DHL, etc.

Also, Ive seen this vid 3 seperate times, n every time it has the honda badge on a different car. lol
The electro gyrocator is actually a form of what’s called an Inertial Navigation System, which when implemented properly is incredibly accurate. We use them on aircraft as a backup to GPS, and they use a combination of accelerometers, gyros, and rate gyros. At the beginning of your flight you simply put in your gps coordinates, which it won’t let you mess up because it can tell when you’re wrong, let it align for a few minutes, and then off you go. They also use them at sea in certain applications, but since weight isn’t as much of a concern they’re typically far larger and therefor more accurate, but also take significantly more time to align
I had TomTom on my Nokia 6600 using an external, Bluetooth connected GPS reciever back in, like, 2005/2006 I think .
It worked really well too 😁👍
really cool to se donut sponsored by gt7, they have definitly made it
You could say Japan is responsible for almost all modern living. Look up “Ito Hirabami” first prime minister of Japan, long story short. All of his journals are in Japanese and need to be translated, but there is a spot where he talks about “our mastermind is none other than the great Nikolai Tesla”. Goes on to talk about creating superconducting metals and materials for Tesla and other projects they collectively worked on. I would get into more detail but not to many people care or know about electromagnetic propulsion and that jazz
Share as much info as you can I don't mind
Tesla was robbed

I'd watch just an ad compilation from these guys and not even get bored
I'm learning so much from this channel, do they have a video on the Japanese luxury car brands and how that came to be? (Acura, Lexus, Infiniti, Genesis)
I bet an “anti-tesla” style car manufacturer that literally just made the most simple, analog, cars and trucks, that are built to last forever, would do really well. They could be electric too just no dumb unnecessary accessories.
Too good of an idea. Won’t ever happen.
Makes me think of Lucid. Not analog, but it's about simplicity and quality. And quite anti-Tesla!
So every car is a jdm car?
Tf? No. JDM means Japanese domestic market. JDM cars are cars built for Japan only. I really hope your comment is supposed to be sarcastic.

A few really significant innovations you probably don't know about the origin of. Things that everyone uses now. Electronic fuel injection: 1958 Chrysler/Bendix. The electronic computer used vacuum tubes, pre transistor, wasn't stable, Bendix licensed the patents to Bosch, went into production with VW in 1965. First antilock brakes on production sedan(Jag and Mercedes had them earlier on sports cars): 1970 Chrysler Imperial, option lasted only one year because nobody bought them. First beehive (conical) valve springs: 1980 Chrysler 3.3 in minivans.
I'm glad someone finally mentioned these new cars visibility
For a Team with such high ad-read standards, this is probably single-handedly the best one so far, and you didn't even do a sketch, damn.
