In addition to that, it's really, really important- To be clear that when we are talking about the Waymo Driver, we are only talking about technology that means you Autonomous vehicles will displace many driving roles.
underdel and create a vision that creates cheap capital so you can pull the future forward. My understanding is three years ago we had a million autonomous Tesla taxis on the road and that did not happen. In 2016 Mus said or 2017 there was going to be autonomous was two years away driving. So their job is to predict a very exciting future. I also think Musk in particular is very
The value, to the United States, of these applications has been calibrated about five years ago. Autonomous air taxi-- it hasn't really been a market yet, but it's flying.
The value, to the United States, of these applications has been calibrated about five years ago. Autonomous 18-wheelers is what we're talking about here.
Now, I would say our focus over the last 15 years has been predominantly, as you would expect, on increasingly autonomous robotic systems, on cyber weapons and warfare, and now increasingly on the software that underpins both.For us, I should say, we're not anti-technology.
And there are some anti-personnel systems which have a degree of autonomy in targeting, although they don't quite fit the definition of being autonomous yet. I would say it's important to say that, like I said, they're constrained.Most of them target objects.
So clean trucking companies like Tesla, Thor, BYD in China, and also hydrogen companies like Nikola, they will be playing major roles in local drayage. Autonomous is really getting big.And who have a Tesla here?
Your eyes take in light signals and fill in the missing information of what that object is in some context for it. Autonomous driving is a prediction problem.There's the obvious prediction problem of predicting what those other crazy drivers are doing.
So these are things that are going to be so common as we move forward. Autonomous flying vehicles, I mean who heard about that 20 years ago?And now, it's like almost everybody can have a small android or UAV.
completely subconsciously. And this is one of the sad but beautiful things about being a human is we think we have autonomous control, but it turns out we actually don't because a bunch of neurochemicals are basically influencing the majority of our decisions wellbefore we have any conscious awareness of it.
They worked with these autonomous kinetic kill vehicles. Autonomous kinetic kill vehicles, satellites.And the three inventors at Motorola incorporated all that technology into what would become the largest civilian space
They're going to be circling the world and basically creating whole new infrastructure for wireless carriers. Autonomous vehicles-- look at what you've done, something wonderful in terms of creating the original breakthroughs in that space.Health care devices I'm particularly involved in right now.
Now, state-owned and controlled Chinese television is by now financially self-reliant and operationally autonomous . So when it comes to chasing ratings, it functions just the same as the US commercial networks.You have Three Blind Mice, I was told, since a decade ago with networks competing for ratings.
Is Mrs. Clause a surgeon? But actually, he has robotic surgeons that perform these operations autonomously . They're a little bit like- I don't know if any of you saw the Revenge of the Sith, where the robots repair Anakin. They're a little bit like those, but as youcan see they wear silly Christmas outfits. Now, Santa and his lieutenants are sleeping through the spring, but the North Pole is hardly quiet at
to show something to ourselves. A perverse agent might break the rules in ways that are private that only he or she knows about. The concern about autonomy is not a concern about how about looking autonomous . It's a concern about being autonomous . And you know, I'm not the first to point this out. You know um this is an observation by uh by dstoyfski by Sartra about how even in the most private of ways we want to show ourselves to be free. Another explanation for perverse acts is to impress other people. I mean you know if if I behave rationally and morally you might see me as
account how that impacts on the general public, uh, you know, in favor of the of the armies uh, that are now competing with autonomous weapons, in favor of the surveillance systems that are attempting to control everything with more and more and more intelligence and more monitoring.
You know? It does seem, though-- That's a non-negligible problem that just got in the way. With autonomous cars, though, it really felt like we were going to have them really soon. Yeah. I was totally convinced that my kids were never going to have to drive a car.
And autonomous cars is a good example.
This is a report from Stockholm International Peace Research Institute from last year. Most autonomous weapons today, they're quite constrained. They mostly attack objects.
The autonomous vehicle companies are going to say we want to be where it's most profitable.
first autonomous flying taxi service.
that autonomous vehicles can, in fact, provide benefits, but they're encrypted in a way that it doesn't create significant risk to cities.
"All autonomous systems are joint human machine cognitive systems.
the autonomous capabilities are reduced, and the driver must be more involved.
have autonomous fire control and have serious fire control bugs, which is, I think, one of the major concerns
Private autonomous vehicles, I think, will kill innovation in cities.
And autonomous . Which means that there's never a large dependencies between code bases.

In addition to that, it's really, really important- To be clear that when we are talking about the Waymo Driver, we are only talking about technology that means you tech companies and autonomous driving?

companies trade at 10 or 15. So it's robots it's space it's connectivity with AI and autonomous and robots. It's constantly look over here because I think it's very difficult to justify the valuations he's raising money at. So, and to be clear, he as much as anybody is able to pull that vision forward. He's launched 90% of the rockets sent into space have been by

We have autonomous vehicles that deliver medicines in hospital.
We design autonomous vehicle that learn from sensing, learn from AI and from other cars,
and then take autonomous decisions.
The machines are completely autonomous .
"Have you considered an autonomous controlled version, perhaps a jetpack?" Yeah, so this is a good question.
A passenger is autonomous .
The value, to the United States, of these applications has been calibrated about five years ago. If you make them autonomous , those trucks could go for close to 24.
The value, to the United States, of these applications has been calibrated about five years ago. Here's an autonomous truck that was demonstrated, I think, this year-- 2,800 miles from California to Pennsylvania
Because with the autonomous vehicle, it could be Robert Moses 2.0 if we don't do that quite right.

which are exposed to autonomous vehicles.
It's completely autonomous . And they have to make a decision whether they adopt it or not.
base is completely autonomous .
I hope not, but maybe we will. But the fact is autonomous weapons already exist, albeit a limited form. And they don't look anything like "Black Mirror" or the Terminator.
It could be remote-controlled. It could be autonomous . It's a function. Obviously, as everyone's well aware, you can buy one of these type of small drones in your local
You have autonomous intelligence embedded in things like robotics, and the human is completely out of the loop.
methods. So it's really from the local warehouse to a yard, then from a yard then to out-of-state warehouse it will go on an autonomous truck, because it can really eliminate the burden for the driver's driving long hours. And it allow drivers to really only manage exceptions.
