  • Everyone’s in, goes the new refrain, as GM slides all its chips across the table toward electrification with a slew of sneak peeks at their fleet of coming electric cars, and one that isn’t a car at all.

      Jamming signal and hijack. Corporate wants to increase profits so much they pay you just enough to not quit and then replace you with autonomous machines. I can’t wait for the reset button were it’s like the purge and the first hunted will be the rich and privileged. Next thing is Amazon wants to be part of everything in your home, from you door security, cooking, cleaning, and even bidet cleaning your butt. Lmao 😂 it will be like Idiocracy 2006. If you think Millennials are bad wait for the next generation of kids from millennials. BTW all of this is just for humorous imo.

      What's crazy is the price for things are increasing rapidly, especially cars and flagship phones for example. While the materials to build them are becoming cheaper especially things like the frame for car and the plastic shell for phones, and also glass is being used much more for phones and cars as shown in the video. New plastic material which is more durable, flexible and less expensive are being used in just about any product you can name. The outer shell of Cars are molded plastic like materias. my point is that with the use of cheaper materials,more robots less humans on the assembly lines why are prices rising drastically? New iPhones are costing $1K? Jeep is making a new SUV that will start at $100k and it's not electric. The new Hummer is priced at $100k. Although the Tesla truck is starting at $60k. Things need to change within the USA, forget party lines and political figures! We need to put the people of the USA first just like in our initials.

      Optic fiber cable was used in the 1983 Cadillac to let you know what was lighting up around your position. It is possible to use that to send visual images directly into your cockpit or else use camcorders.

    This is a TON OF BUNK! They may solve the "battery" issue with super capacitors but you still have decades worth of ICE's that won't be going away anytime soon. As well, the tech for cleaning up the environment still is with ICE's. Just making the "batteries" is a mess and then what will be done with the old batteries? What a land fill that'll make.

      Very true all cars will be flying in the future. Plus with small drone type aircraft you could implement software and AI to avoid crashes and if they do happen parachutes along with other safety measures could be used to protect the occupants.

      @@nickstar6790 lol, that’s a lot of stuff that needs to go right all of the time. If the entire auto industry couldn’t even get airbags right (takata) I definitely not trusting them with parachutes 🤣. Also, are you willing to do a preflight inspection every time you want to go to the grocery store? Not sure you’ve been around aircraft much (flying car = aircraft), but they require next level preventative maintenance and inspections because of the inherent danger of falling from high places.

    • @ItsTheNada
      @ItsTheNada 3 года назад

      @@nickstar6790 The massive takata recall (and tons of other recalls) is a fact, not opinion. preflight checks and mechanical failure is a fact, not opinion. The one thing we agree on is that cars on the ground are dangerous. There are simply more things that can go wrong with thousands of cars in the air above us no matter what AI is being used. There’s also the problem with connectivity/network outages, hacking, code failures. So again, more dependencies on systems working together seamlessly. It’s a lot to ask for. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not hating. It’s just the probability of zero fault over any significant amount of time is soooo low. The current personal drone prototypes look extremely unstable and it would be difficult to store enough energy for usable range without gasoline too. They’ll start as non DOT certified recreational vehicles and probably stay that way for a while.
