Why You Should Want Driverless Cars On Roads Now - YouTube (18:00min)
THIS is what the Tesla fanbois should really be afraid of. While Tesla cars keep ploughing into stupid stuff (overturned trucks on motorways), Waymo is running a truly autonomous taxi fleet in busy suburban areas with a very good safety record.
Tesla Fanbois are usually quick to say 'geofenced', but that's an oversimplification by the shills. Fact is, these vehicles are operating in a normal everyday urban environment with all of the challenges that go along with that, not cruising the motorways.
This post is not a shill for Waymo, rather it is to debunk the claim that 'Tesla is a software company that will own the autonomous driving space'. It is plain to see that Waymo is much further down the road (pun may or may not be intended) when it comes to fully autonomous self driving. Not only that, but Waymo is brand agnostic and could be implemented in any car once the sensor suite has been fitted. There will be a time when the sensors become much smaller and less obtrusive/offensive to the eye, of that I'm sure.
We all know Elon's promise of 1,000,000 robotaxis by the end of 2020, Waymo is 600 vehicles ahead of him.
I heard Derek Muller (the Veritasium guy) would be visiting UCLA and giving a talk sometime soon, but I can’t find any details about that. Anyone know more about this?

At the top of the podcast, the guys chat a little about their Vegas weekend, and Adam talks about how a confusing rental car conversation with someone who didn’t speak great English. Adam also rants about his kids eating messy without napkins and Natalia’s thoughts on smoking, and the guys take a look at the results of a listener poll. After that, the guys talk to fans about locker room etiquette, tennis, and Rich Man Poor Man. Before the break, Adam talks about people not appreciating things when they get them for free.
Dr. Derek Muller is in studio next, and Adam compliments him on his fascinating ‘Veritasium’ YouTube channel. The guys talk more about surprising chemistry, Dr. Muller’s background, and misconceptions about climate change. Other topics of discussion include measuring methane release from cows, the pros and cons of switching to nuclear energy, and redefining what a kilogram is. In the last part of the show, Gina asks Dr. Muller about spending time in ‘The Quietest Room’, and reads news stories about OJ Simpson’s upcoming televised parole hearing, updates on the Trump family’s Russia scandal, and Shia Labeouf’s latest drunken antics.

Yesterday I was watching Derek's meeting with Hank https://youtu.be/AAmqeHCFq_8 And this sentence he said "Things are bound not by the energy they have, but by the energy they lost.” Seems to be correct in exothermic reactions But let's look at endothermic ones This is the photosynthesis thermochemical formula 6CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l) -------->> C6H12O6 (s) +6O2(g) triangle H = +2803 kj/mol Doesn't this mean that they are bond by the energy they gained? And by reversing the equation It will release energy again which we use Correct me if I am wrong
