00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.240
if one was to look back through the anals of History taking note of our

00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:09.800
technological advances since the invention of fire they might note

00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:14.280
automation as one of Humanity's primary goals I mean what are heaters and stoves

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:19.080
if not fires which don't require all the fuss and mus of wood Gathering and

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:24.359
stoking if one looks back at the history of automated automobiles though it

00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:28.199
appears very stunted and brief while scientists have technically been working

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:31.800
on driverless Vehicles since the better part of a century now the first

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:35.600
successful attempts at these Technologies didn't emerge until

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:40.120
somewhere around the mid 1980s on top of this the technologies

00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:44.640
that will ultimately allow cars to operate themselves didn't really gain

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:49.000
much public attention until much more recently that is of course until Tesla

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:52.640
blew everyone's freaking Minds by suddenly announcing their line of

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:56.559
vehicles which will be going rogue this July many car companies have been

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:01.039
implementing Technologies like cruise control GPS tracking and cameras for

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:05.560
functions such such as rear viiew monitoring in both business and personal

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:10.000
vehicles for decades now but it wasn't until basically the last decade or so

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:14.400
that we began seeing more autonomous functions like Lane departure warning

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:18.360
and correction systems or even stuff like blind spot monitors being

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:22.040
implemented widely by manufacturers Beyond these individual capabilities the

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:25.479
need to couple all these features with a list of others such as collision

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:30.040
avoidance systems and complex maneuverability for things such as

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:35.200
emergency stops or parallel parking seem to have perpetually confined the

00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:37.520
advancement to this realm of near but

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:41.439
far off future it seems that while we've all been blissfully waiting in patience

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:45.920
for the future to arrive technicians on behalf of many many entities have been

00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:50.159
diligently working to bring it to us ahead of schedule and although there has

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:56.159
been an increased Rumblings from those such as Audi who successfully drove

00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:01.880
their autonomous Deli model vehicle from California to New York it seems they

00:01:59.039 --> 00:02:05.560
were CAU sleeping as Tesla announced they will be rolling out limited

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:10.720
automation to all of its Model S and above lines with the simple addition of

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:14.879
a software update this has been so exciting not simply due to its timing

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.760
but also because this will be the first public offering of level three

00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:23.160
automation which is the ability for a vehicle to control itself under certain

00:02:21.239 --> 00:02:27.239
conditions in this case only allowing drivers to engage autopilot on highways

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:31.360
and interstates and then returning manual control for in town driving is

00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:34.239
this technology going to end up being legal where I live or am I just

00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:39.760
investing in something that I'll never be able to use like an Ubisoft game will

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.760
this lead to roads being actually safer or simply lull people into a sense of

00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:49.560
security which slows their reaction in emergency situations leading to a higher

00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.440
rate of really bad accidents or maybe

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:56.440
the largest question of all due to the legal and monetary implications who's

00:02:54.440 --> 00:03:00.879
responsible when the car self-drives into another the driver or the

00:02:59.239 --> 00:03:05.319
manufacturer with these questions and many more still

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:09.920
unanswered it seems that the verdict for how useful autonomous vehicles will end

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:14.799
up being is still set off in that slightly intangible future rest assured

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:19.360
though they will come speaking of good stuff little bits little bits lets

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:24.080
everyone use Electronics as modular building blocks with modules ranging

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:28.640
from simple LED and power setups to complex programmable even Wireless

00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:34.680
capable modules it's perfect for kids parents Cod ERS Hardware hackers kids at

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.680
heart makers artists designers Engineers students you pretty much name it the

00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:43.080
module snap together with magnets you can create your very own circuits in

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

00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:50.640
get your dog to send a text not that he's going to say anything too

00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:55.519
thought-provoking or you can make a robotic snack server so the idea is why

00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:59.200
go out and buy electronics and toys when you can invent them and reinvent them

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:02.760
over and over and over again there's over modules that can be used in

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:06.720
virtually Limitless I mean actually there would be a number for you know 60

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:11.000
I mean guess you could duplicate some module okay virtually Limitless creative

00:04:08.920 --> 00:04:15.159
combinations and in this Tech driven world I can see for my kids personally

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
