3:50 - flying(?)-motorcycle
10:30 - burning man expat
12:45 - rocket club
17:05 - rocket club - the virgin
21:12 - finally interesting
26:20 - "a cell phone camera is good enough for a autonomous car", maybe.
Mustavo Gaia its people like you that are saving TH-cam, thank you!
thank you!
Thanks but... "finally interesting"? He seems to have invented the dune buggy.
I’d say interesting from 12:45. Even if you don’t know a lot about rockets, you’ve got to acknowledge the fact that a team of 25 to 40 people got together, designed, built and launched a functioning rocket. I imagine they’ll all be with Space X or NASA in a few years.
@@texmex9721 Well, ya know, someone had to invent it.
Traffic sucks in LA because it's a city that prioritizes car transportation over any other type, not because we don't have flying cars.
Videos like this remind me of why i need to continue being creative and innovative in spite of all that is going on around me. Am glad i came across this. Thank you Bloomberg
Major intro correction: wind generators will not spin and spin and spin, They have a life span of 30 - 50 yrs. and without regular maintenance from the people no longer there, even less. Could have easily said , even after all the wind generates have died and their power capabilities have vanished....
It is cool that the young generation likes to innovate their dreams. As long as they do it with responsibility then they must
build their dreams.
These hello world videos are awesome. Please make more , great job everyone involved
The flying car thing is a misnomer, most people mean "electric autonomous passenger carrying flying machines." True flying cars will exist but as a niche vehicle, people really want something to bypass the congested ground traffic, some sort of small automated flying craft to pick you up at home and drop you off at work is what we will end up with eventually because that's what the average commuter wants. They will be fast and much safer than ground transportation.
the kid at the end is amazing... bravo
For Virgin Galactic, it is all about Richard Branson, no mention of Burt Rutan who is the inventor, the engineer and the creator of the whole idea. Branson came in afterwards and just put money into it. This is so unfair.
Unfortunately that's the world we live in...
@30:55 "but once money got involved and expectations got in... it just became stupid."
Currency is the leading cause of disinterest and absurdity in most aspects of life, not just work, but also play. Our policies in America are both counterproductive and disruptive toward the quality of life for practically all people around the globe.
The Federal Reserve Act should be repealed, I think. (Born in San Diego, made in the U.S.A. \m/)
That's the dumbest comment I ever read. Should we go back to the barter system and do away with currency?
Joe Marks you mean Joe Marx. (I agree with your last point however)
5:48 Actually, I believe that DaVinci created several versions of the "Mona Lisa". But, only, one version gained prominence! (It was rumored, there is a joke, behind the Mona Lisa. That, it's actually a self-portrait of DaVinci, himself. Not a female.
Whyin hell would you want something that is more complicated than a motorcycle and does the same thing
That dude is doing the wrong kind of dope, lol!!!
5:50 there are two mona lisa. One is on display at the louvre and the other one is in a private collection and known to have been started but not finished by Leonardo.
WELCOME TO RICH BOYS PLAYING WITH THEIR TRUSTFUNDS, USA
All the quality of a child's essay, what I did this summer.
"We know what you did last summer."...
Uh huh. Totally, cmon, it was of high quality
the propeller is like 3 feet from his head
The flying-car man said that all birds could walk. Hummingbirds can't walk or hop, though their feet can be used to scoot sideways while they are perched.
I would argue that if your long-travel coilovers are not getting warm from the amount of movement they are doing, you ain't driving the right terrain or you ain't driving fast enough. An off road hot rod is an idea that gives me tingles like ASMR. Okay, not really, it doesn't give me tingles, but I do love the idea of that :)
wow!! the progress we have made in 5 years is crazy
Love this upload!
Please do more !
This guy is like the Anthony Bourdain of tech. Love the show
At 29:43 He needs to invest in a better low light camera sensor like the 1 found in the Sony A7s 1 and 2. That sensor can turn night to day with a low noise floor. Basically the car will see in the dark.
I'll bet that he's making the mods now, thanks to your suggestion.
Or the Sony a6500
"This used to be an Indian crossing." Pyramid and all seeing eye is seated down there today. lol
Excellent post, thanks.
We might have to look back at this in a few years to see how things have panned out.
5:48, I want to fact-check myself. There is a more, recent claim, that DaVinci painted only two versions of the "Mona Lisa". However, There are several versions that were created back then. Perhaps, by other artists. The art community, back then was pretty tightknit community. For example, I am pretty sure that DaVinci and MichaelAngelo were close associates!
The problem with flying cars is that humans sort of suck at flying. Especially at landing safely.
The difference in flying insects and birds than humans is the these critters have wings and it is natural for them to fly . But on the ground they are much slower .
"In the hierarchy of nerd needs, a flying car remains a must have" 5:05
nailed it man😂😂🤣
The spirit of Burt Munro is in there somewhere .
Long ago I tried to build a motorcycle with the retractable training wheels like that. I never completed it.
My hat is off to the guy who invented a go-cart. And the guy that invented a dune buggy? Unbelievable!
I'm overwhelmed with curiosity, being an Air Force veteran. Gotta get in . . . on this ! 😎
i think HDR camera can help this guy
Yup
He cannot stop shaking his head when he’s listening to anyone.
90% of this could have been edited away.
Yip, Playback speed X2 and kept hitting the right arrow.
you gotta love artistic filmmakers> can you fast forward thru all the walking to get to the talking, and then when you do, do they really say anything or do they jaw jack? 2x it is
Thanks... i'm 5 min into it and still just ass kissing and bullshit. Better skip it, I don't know why these people who make the videos think THEY are so amazing that we want to listen to all that bull instead of going directly to the freaking point and showing what the title says.
Which is why I only watched for ten seconds.
I was going to say "110%", but let's split the difference.
Thank you for the great video. I like the spirit of the 'eccentrics' and am amazed at the ability of Mr. Hotz to create something so impressive on his own in ANY time frame, let alone in a matter of months. I also sympathize with his view expressed at 30:52 that once other peoples expectations became involved, as Mr. B.B. King would say, 'the thrill is gone'. But, given that he's already endured the wrath of attorneys, he likely has the tenacity to continue.
Well he has, it's called Open AI now, and has got a strong following...
Another great episode. Love it.
Great reporting! Enjoyed watching this thanks for sharing
does anyone know what the music is at2:28 and where I can find it?
5:59 Single point of failure is the propeller coupling which joins the passenger section and the rear motor section. Drive over a speed bump and this thing is breaking. Terrible design.
that thing was flexing so much.
Yes...it looked pretty wobbly!
Darren hopped up on Monster's at 3 am 😳
Darren's mom: Go to sleep Darren!!!
Bless the innovators, as long as their tech is used to benefit humankind. Richard Branson has had an amazing life!
WTF. The flying car guy's car doesn't fly.
But his gyrocopter can drive, so he got that going for him.
well, its not actually a car... so its not actually flying...
@@Schradermusic by gyro you meant two kids wheels on the back or its gyro on the hwy only and by copter part- plane prop engine lol? But credits to the man and your last point that its going for Him is essential. its a mutant vehicle and he's a burner. In Dust We Trust )'(
Details, details...
not yet?
For the College kids, it is not about building a flying Rocket. It is about learning to work as part of a team to accomplish a goal, or at least strive for one. You need to acknowledge that.
In early 2016 I built the frame of a 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steer pedal kart. I had to stop because of a flare up of the Lyme disease I have. My design is very unique as i haven’t seen anything else like it. I wish I had more money so I could finish building the multiple speed power train. I’d like to get patents on it and manufacture it.
Let's not forget that those desert hot rods are powered by German Aircooled power!!!!!
People can’t even take car of their cars that stay on the ground. Imagine idiots trying to fly over your house with a vehicle that’s years past due for an oil change or major repair
almost stuck the landing, "care" but great point btw, do a quick edit
Thanks For The Inspiration, What You're Doing Here MATTERS (To me for a start) :-) Thank You
the guy is a risk taker living life the way it should
The experts say ,they will never be a self driving car ,and there it is,in Las Vegas !!!
Would be interesting to see a 3d printed car operate and see how it can hold up
hey man maybe an infra-red or an uv camera might be able to solve the problem with those shadows on the road and even night time
Damn Mouse is a legend, I remember him from Dust to Glory.
50+ years since NASA landed and put the 1st man on the moon.... supposedly. This evolutionary quest for reaching outer space sure is taking a bloody long time. It's as if the Apollo programme was like magic. Maybe movie magic?
Great show
40 secs in and im tapping out lol
"windmills" LOL
With shocks and linkage like that u would need a computer sorting things out, sometimes simpler is better.
Look Mom...I invented a motorcycle that is twice as big as any other Motorcycle, doesn't go Fast, Looks stupid, and costs 4 times as much as an Olde Motorcycle.
Bloomberg has been putting out some absolutely amazing videos lately. This is not one of them.
*Sitting 8 inches from a huge propeller is a little unnerving.*
"there it is the cloud of dust" LOL
29:42 this is why infrared technology should be integrated.... and mix the two for telling the car what it is seeing.
Cheering up Hotz....Lets just see what happens. LOL!!
8:20 if house bricks flutter, then yeah they flutter
awesome video. Thank you for sharing
its putting in what counts over time the experience building that sense of pragmatism that counts no idea is too big or too small its the dedication the hard work behind it that counts over time. genius is one percent innovation and 99 percent perspiration.

"the flying car is the coolest thing the world could ever have... until your neighbor has one..." think about that for a bit... yeah,
ooooor you could just move out of LA... (never thought of that)
They made a Silicon Valley in Palo Alto, why not A Rocket Valley in Mohave?
If only Machining tools, shop tools, scientific tools we're more available to the average person... The world would be leaps ahead.
A bigger Stereo , Yes :) QC
KKND2 Krossfire intro reference :)
BRAVO! Doing things to see it done!
You know I'm kidding,, right? How do YOU pronounce epitome?
But you know, a smart guy once said, "the trouble with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur". Anyone know who said that?
Gyrocopter aka Autogyro created by Spanish inventor: Juan de la Cierva
A timelist would be useful? Geo Hotz is buried at the end.... with FSD like Tesla can't do yet :D
Ahh, like a Harris frame with Mr Turbo 1100 Gixxer and Haltech control module in the mid 90's...bout time.
... you should make a video of projects fail of innovations 😅
Saludos desde YUCATAN
Denis Leary builds Flying Car...that's doesn't fly...yet.
Does anyone know the song's name at 32:15 ?
Ever find out the song?
Great episode facing the future!
3/4 of people on the road are terrible drivers. I for one don’t want these same people flying a car 😂
They were talking about flying cars when I was a kid in the 60’s
will the FAA have to have a highway patrol division we already have flying cars>> or rather small planes and helicopters, and flying requires a different license than driving and a different set of skills!!
@@relentlessmadman Wow, nobody noticed but you.
sarcasm is a beautiful thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks
If you're looking for ads & not much else, you have arrived!
*Are those guys in the desert too old to switch to Electric driven dune buggies?* *_I mean if they are designing everything from the ground up, move with the times._*
Its 4 years old haha
Hello Moto, thanks for pointing that out I did not know that. It was already four years ago when that first all electric vehicle amateur began kicking quarter mile ass at the US drag strips. Back then supercapacitor technology was just beginning to propel crotch rockets. Even kids growing up to be professional drivers now start out racing EV go-karts.
Yet we live in a country that ran steam trains a hundred years ago at higher speeds then we are now capable of.
SOSDD except for Hackrod. Hackrod has something on the ball.
pretty unlikely the wind turbines still working.
Yea I thought the same thing. Wind turbines actually require A LOT of maintenance to function. Especially offshore.
@@ispartacus1337 and if it seizes up while you're fixing it you better have a parachute.
i thought that i was the only one that knows where TRONA is.
Pure passion it is!!!
7:50 whats the name of the song , nice video though.
Duo des fleurs by Lakme
1:50 did the narrator just say "total freedom" when talking about a place in California???? lol
I think the word "genius" is thrown around a bit to lightly.
I don't want a self driving car. I enjoy the experience a lot.
Cliff Campbell you’re taking this too personally! Most people don’t know how to drive so you’re better off with them off the road. Since you can’t get them off the road, better get them away from the wheel. You don’t know how well off you are; most people will prefer automated driving, leaving the ones who enjoy it, to enjoy it!
@@nixl3518 I can't help but wonder just how long it'll take Congress to pass a bill into law clearly stating "no one will be allowed to operate motor vehicles. Self driving vehicle technology will save lives. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" Or some such garbage.
Why don't you ask him if he can use night vision wouldn't that clear up the problem with the sun and shadows for the cameras
Where is it legal to land or take off from the highway with an aircraft?
Why is the "flying car" the HOLY GRAIL? Why not make a cheaper plane?
Airplanes have to deal with airports.
25:48 what is the smiley face hiding???
What song is that at 7:40?
