1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,240
if one was to look back through the anals of History taking note of our

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:09,800
technological advances since the invention of fire they might note

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:14,280
automation as one of Humanity's primary goals I mean what are heaters and stoves

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:19,080
if not fires which don't require all the fuss and mus of wood Gathering and

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:24,359
stoking if one looks back at the history of automated automobiles though it

6
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:28,199
appears very stunted and brief while scientists have technically been working

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,800
on driverless Vehicles since the better part of a century now the first

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,600
successful attempts at these Technologies didn't emerge until

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,120
somewhere around the mid 1980s on top of this the technologies

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:44,640
that will ultimately allow cars to operate themselves didn't really gain

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:49,000
much public attention until much more recently that is of course until Tesla

12
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:52,640
blew everyone's freaking Minds by suddenly announcing their line of

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:56,559
vehicles which will be going rogue this July many car companies have been

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:01,039
implementing Technologies like cruise control GPS tracking and cameras for

15
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:05,560
functions such such as rear viiew monitoring in both business and personal

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:10,000
vehicles for decades now but it wasn't until basically the last decade or so

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:14,400
that we began seeing more autonomous functions like Lane departure warning

18
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:18,360
and correction systems or even stuff like blind spot monitors being

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:22,040
implemented widely by manufacturers Beyond these individual capabilities the

20
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,479
need to couple all these features with a list of others such as collision

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:30,040
avoidance systems and complex maneuverability for things such as

22
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:35,200
emergency stops or parallel parking seem to have perpetually confined the

23
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,520
advancement to this realm of near but

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,439
far off future it seems that while we've all been blissfully waiting in patience

25
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:45,920
for the future to arrive technicians on behalf of many many entities have been

26
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:50,159
diligently working to bring it to us ahead of schedule and although there has

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:56,159
been an increased Rumblings from those such as Audi who successfully drove

28
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:01,880
their autonomous Deli model vehicle from California to New York it seems they

29
00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:05,560
were CAU sleeping as Tesla announced they will be rolling out limited

30
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:10,720
automation to all of its Model S and above lines with the simple addition of

31
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:14,879
a software update this has been so exciting not simply due to its timing

32
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,760
but also because this will be the first public offering of level three

33
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:23,160
automation which is the ability for a vehicle to control itself under certain

34
00:02:21,239 --> 00:02:27,239
conditions in this case only allowing drivers to engage autopilot on highways

35
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:31,360
and interstates and then returning manual control for in town driving is

36
00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:34,239
this technology going to end up being legal where I live or am I just

37
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:39,760
investing in something that I'll never be able to use like an Ubisoft game will

38
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:43,760
this lead to roads being actually safer or simply lull people into a sense of

39
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:49,560
security which slows their reaction in emergency situations leading to a higher

40
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,440
rate of really bad accidents or maybe

41
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:56,440
the largest question of all due to the legal and monetary implications who's

42
00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:00,879
responsible when the car self-drives into another the driver or the

43
00:02:59,239 --> 00:03:05,319
manufacturer with these questions and many more still

44
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,920
unanswered it seems that the verdict for how useful autonomous vehicles will end

45
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:14,799
up being is still set off in that slightly intangible future rest assured

46
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:19,360
though they will come speaking of good stuff little bits little bits lets

47
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:24,080
everyone use Electronics as modular building blocks with modules ranging

48
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:28,640
from simple LED and power setups to complex programmable even Wireless

49
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:34,680
capable modules it's perfect for kids parents Cod ERS Hardware hackers kids at

50
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,680
heart makers artists designers Engineers students you pretty much name it the

51
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:43,080
module snap together with magnets you can create your very own circuits in

52
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,239
seconds with little bits you can do I mean really the sky is the limit you can

53
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:50,640
get your dog to send a text not that he's going to say anything too

54
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:55,519
thought-provoking or you can make a robotic snack server so the idea is why

55
00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:59,200
go out and buy electronics and toys when you can invent them and reinvent them

56
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,760
over and over and over again there's over modules that can be used in

57
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,720
virtually Limitless I mean actually there would be a number for you know 60

58
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:11,000
I mean guess you could duplicate some module okay virtually Limitless creative

59
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:15,159
combinations and in this Tech driven world I can see for my kids personally

60
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:18,959
getting them into that kind of stuff at a young age is going to be beneficial so
