1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,200
if you've ever been the driver on a long road trip you've probably wished at some

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:11,480
point that you could just kick back and let the car drive itself unfortunately

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:16,600
autonomous vehicles are still a ways away from becoming Mass market items and

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:21,640
so the closest thing we have right now is cruise control which is convenient

5
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:25,039
but won't exactly drive the car for you as a few people in those urban legends

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:31,960
who thought they could set the cruise control in the RV and then go in the back and make a sandwich found out but

7
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:36,600
even so cruise control is becoming a much more useful tool with the Advent of

8
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:41,719
adaptive cruise control which has found its way into many modern vehicles unlike

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:46,559
old school cruise control which allowed your car to maintain one constant speed

10
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:51,079
newer adaptive cruise control systems have the ability to adjust your car

11
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:55,640
speed on the Fly and therefore increase safety but how does that work adaptive

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:00,320
cruise control is often implemented on cars using radar although some use

13
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:04,839
lasers radar is more common since it works better in adverse weather

14
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:09,520
conditions usually the radar is mounted on the front of the car near the bumper

15
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:14,119
or behind the grill so when you turn the cruise control on your car will fire a

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,799
radar beam which travels until it hits another vehicle in front of you the

17
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:23,560
return signal is processed by a computer to determine how far behind the second

18
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:28,960
car you are the cruise control uses this information to keep your car a set

19
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:32,240
number of seconds behind by dynamically changing your speed

20
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:36,439
this gives you the advantage of not having to break and readjust your cruise

21
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,840
control if you get stuck behind a car that's moving slowly or frequently

22
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:44,479
Alters its speed and also helps mitigate the effect of normal cruise control

23
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,079
lulling you into a false sense of security potentially slowing your

24
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:53,119
reaction time in the event that there is a sudden change in speed required now

25
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:57,520
many adaptive cruise control systems also feature collision avoidance where

26
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,640
the car can automatically break more aggressively if it senses that you're

27
00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:06,840
getting way too close to another vehicle or object you'll also often get an audio

28
00:02:04,759 --> 00:02:10,520
or a visual warning that you're about to hit something much like professional

29
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:15,560
Pilots have in their planes to let them know they're getting too close to other

30
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:19,760
air traffic or say for example a volcano some adaptive cruise control systems can

31
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:24,120
even work with other Technologies to give you even more features for example

32
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:28,239
a system that's designed to work with GPS could automatically slow down if

33
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:33,200
you're in a construction zone that the GPS knows about or help to control your

34
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:37,360
speed more effectively on Hills since the system will know what the terrain

35
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:42,400
ahead looks like improving not only safety but gas mileage as well and of

36
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,800
course when we do start buying autonomous cars on mass adaptive cruise

37
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:51,040
control like systems will be very important for actually keeping the car

38
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:55,560
where you want it on the road so you don't end up in the back of a semi-truck

39
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:59,840
like those cops in The Blues Brothers for now though it's not surprising that

40
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:04,959
adaptive cruise control like many optional features they try to sell you

41
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:07,319
down at the old car NE ship don't come

42
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:12,120
cheap as it's usually an add-on that will set you back a couple thousand but

43
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:16,239
it might just be worth it for you if you're an inattentive driver with some

44
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,879
money to burn or maybe you'll even get one of those super slick salesmen who

45
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,840
will sweeten the deal with some of the those free floor mats and uh

46
00:03:21,799 --> 00:03:28,480
undercoatings that I've heard so much about speaking of things I've heard

47
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,840
about fres books in the spirit of the format here at Tech quick I'm going to

48
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,720
tell you all the great things about fresh books as quickly as I can fresh

49
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:41,360
books is for small business owners who want to save time get organized and

50
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:46,159
basically spend the time that they have either with their families or doing the

51
00:03:43,799 --> 00:03:50,439
actual work they want to do rather than fussing about with complicated

52
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:55,840
accounting software it lets you send out invoices it lets you track your expenses

53
00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:59,319
it lets you murder Brandon unfortunately it doesn't let us murder Brandon that's

54
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,879
why he's still alive it lets you take dep deposits and it lets you see if your

55
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:09,599
client has actually received your invoice and then even allows them to pay

56
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:13,439
through fresh books it's all cloudt Tred you can like take pictures of receipts

57
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,280
it's freaking cool and you can try it for nothing for 30 days by going over to
