Math: a fatally flawed technology

Serious question:

The below Veritasium video describes a hundred and fifty years of math debate and concludes that math is a discursive technology that is incomplete and undecidable ("fatally flawed"). Excellently presented on the basis of high quality reading and consultation with professionals, I find it compelling partly because of its pragmatism. It concludes in a meditation on technology, echoing the classic pragmatic test of truth, rather than with radical epistemic skepticism or naive realism.

Question: in what ways might its conclusions be relevant to automotive and other transportation technologies?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
