For self driving trucks, my concern is that we're not preparing for the economic impact of rendering a whole industry obsolete. There are over 2 million CDL holders in the US, and the implementation of self driving tech will put a lot of people out of work without a plan to prepare for the unemployed. A more efficient way to transport freight would be to improve America's rail network and increase rail volume. Not to mention the safety concerns of self driving tech in general.
@@NeoSpacian1237 think of the individual states and governments that will endure extremely high unemployment that will file for bankruptcy, welfare, food stamps, unemployment, and most importantly not paying state and federal taxes. There is a lot of economic impact that will enact policy and laws to this. It’s not going to be as simple as men in suits and ties dancing as they watch the profit margins soar.

@@AndrewBlair6700 I did trucking school 2 summers ago and I worried about it as well before I even got hired. People told me I was wasting my money and soon there would be no need for it. In 2 years I made enough money to pay off some loans, most. Notably my truck payment. Built up a damn good amount in savings while also feeding myself and my family and open doors to several careers that partially involve driving mixed with labor. I was worried about self driving 2 years ago and I’m still out here making good money but I will come off the road in the next several years. Self driving is without a doubt a question of when and not if but dont let people or Google scare you into thinking it’s next month.

About 20 years ago, I was asleep and got woken up by a loud thud from a large chunk of ice falling off a jet wing and landing my backyard. It was about half the size of an oil drum. It took me a while to overcome the reality that could have hit me if I was outside. lol

battery energy density has only improved a tiny bit in the last 2 decades. these things arent even close to liquid fossil fuels lol. they get stomped. just more vanity projects for billionaires making toxic plastic toys.
I love tech dorks are more interested in bettering their lives over anyone else. You can hear it in the pitch for why they need to produce these. "We can't afford our own helicopter so we'll make something marginally more affordable for us."
Streets are 2D while the air is 3D. I get your point, but there's obviously more space in the sky, and small, slow vehicles won't need the same spacing as airplanes.
most likely it will be cemetery congestion as well.......crashes, hitting high voltage electric lines, winds blowing these things into telephone poles or down into houses or the street where people are ....walking......oh well, kind of a cool idea, but until someone comes up with an anti-gravity tech, these things will never be legal over urban areas......
female trucker made a good point: accident ahead on the highway, and your vehicle needs to follow police instruction and re-route on the spot (driving on the shoulder?). I have criss-crossed the U.S. for thousands of miles. There is always an accident or an unpredicted change.
Noticed that as well... Thanks for labelling them with dates at least? Compilations make sense when you release a new part in a series. However - Reposting content that is at best, 3+ years old doesn't make sense... and for a NEWS business, seems short sighted at best
@craigb8228 This isn't a first for any of the components. Battery and electric motor technology has been in development for decades. You can't compare that to the early days of helicopter flight, which was revolutionary at the time.
These investors and CEOs remind me, of where investors/creators of the automobile were at the turn of the century. We know this technology with advance greatly in the coming decades. What we don't know, is if any of these early investors will be around when this technology comes to fruition in the future.
Self flying and loud awesome! Yippee can hardly wait to see em! Redesigned helicopters / man operated drones with battery-powered motors. Pretty cool! How well do they work in harsh weather conditions? Very intriguing crafts.
until battery density and charging is improved, none of these will truly be practical. Helicopters are still better for emergencies because they also carry extra people (and supplies) who can tend to, and monitor the patient while getting to the hospital. Not to mention, the power requirements are way higher because emergencies don't always happen on the greatest of weather conditions. It needs to be able to resist and fly against a certain level of wind, all this adding a LOT of weight. In the end, it's all about carrying capacity and ease of use. Batteries take forever to charge, compared to refueling with fuel. You'd need to be able to hotswap batteries to make it practical, but then you run into a logistics problem of needing batteries from the departure area and the destination, which means all batteries would start needing to be tracked for safety, etc. Batteries would also need to be standardized etc etc. But then what about new models? Even drones from the same company update their battery design in just a few years, whereas aircraft from the 1960s can use modern fuel (Avgas). Basically, these things are a long way away from being practical to the general public. I say they should consider focusing on hydrogen powered engines/motors instead of depending on batteries.
@@grenzviel4480 yep. batteries are too heavy for small boats let alone aircraft. and then you also have the MAJOR disadvantage of landing weight being the same weather the batteries are empty or full, time to charge, safety concern etc/ 70% of the craft would need to be battery if it wants to go more than 30 miles, making it far too heavy.
The concept of ownership is going to change. In the future everything will be borrowed. You call your transportation when you need it. It goes away to someone else when you don't. That simple.
@@derk3933 A universal basic income for all and a dedicated place of automated services for the taxi will make sure you have a safe and clean ride to wherever you need to go, fast. You have no idea.
it is great but the 15 min flight time (energy density) is the problem. We have to increase/ find/ engineer more energy density in the weight and size available to power delivery.
Hydrogen fuel cell, or ammonia is as close as you'll get. There is really nothing like burning hydrocarbons to extract a stupid amount of energy out of a tiny volume.
Every airplane engine is capable of carrying the entire aircraft, so if you have two and loose one you can still fly the aircraft. Helicopter rotors can support the aircraft and are capable of auto rotation to safety land the aircraft in case of a engine failure. This thing has 18 tiny rotors how many are required to fly, and how many are there for redundancy?
Theese craft will have in built transponders for collision avoidence I would imagine.theese could well be the future with less danger than fuel aircraft with less accidents. Imagine an airliner sized one with 200 passengers not 2.I would love a job in the industry also.well done to the design crews love the innovation Mr Green Scotland
@coreym162 you have alot to learn about reality and physics. What does where the batteries are placed have to do with weight? And no, there is not nearly enough room in the "frame" to store enough battery
I love how the makers of these talk about the difficulty of having the FAA approve how all these things are built and then we have door and cowling flying off of 700 series Boeing planes nearly every other week.
24mph is incredibly fast! I cannot believe how game changing Hexa can be. At only a million dollars apiece, this is going to change the way we commute. A $250 taxi ride to work is what every city worker dreams of! 30x less efficient than jet fuel by volume and 10x less efficient by mass, lacking variable pitch and having terrible rotor loading compared to a helicopter, I am eagerly awaiting what evtols might do in a few years… just wait for 2024 - what will the world look like? 😉
@36:.6,,, That one word,, "NEEDED" is the very best word to describe truck drivers. HOW can we human's exist without our truck drivers? Can autinomis provide the same service our trucker drivers provide? Time will tell but I'm not nearly as optimistic as are some of these high paid engineers. No,, I'm NOT a truck driver but I highly respect their level of skill as they transport all we humankind NEED to exist from town to town. They do it right.
BP bought out TA and are installing chargers at all locations. Built in honing device and the whole nine. Currently trucking companies have special rights to employee immigrants because the industry treats them so bad Americans don't want anything to do with it. Shipping has become so super competitive they're pouring big dollars into capturing the market so this advancing quick. I would say we will see these driverless trucks on the road in the next 3 years
How many die in car crashes every day? Fatal car crashes in the US in 2022 = 42,795. That's an average fatal crash rate of ~16 deaths per 100,000 vehicles. If you drive, you already take your life in your hands every day.
so you name your company BOOM, and it produces aircraft? i get that the boom is meant because of breaking the sound barrier, but, if one of these goes down, maaan, that name will haunt them.
A plane with no engine. Not much boom is happening at the moment. Not sure people care much about the speed but prefer better services, and for doors and parts to stay on the plane.
Landing pads on buildings was tried in NYC till a NY Airways helicopter crashed on the roof of the (Pan Am) Met Life building and had to be disassembled and brought down piece by piece in the elevator. I believe in the idea and have invested in Joby since they have already received their FAA Part 135 license but with the cost of the airframes and the batteries, this is going to be a tough business model. For instance, the lack of range eliminates rural areas from service, and then there are the landing charges of the FBOs which add up quickly using the "taxi" model.
Visions of a futuristic world meets reality. I wonder what kind of world today's children will grow up in, and then what it will look like in their golden years. If it's anything like I have seen through technological advances, I can't even begin to imagine how adaptable they will have to be.
i’m always curious to ask people older than me (i’m 19) how they view the technological shift in society, how much changed for you and did it shock you how much progress has been made ?
@@altdefcon I can remember getting our first color TV! No internet, of course. No credit cards ... everything changed. Everything was so much easier back then. It has shocked me more than you could imagine. I am still shocked every single day by technology. It is wonderful that such a young person as yourself is taking an interest! Good for you!
This country can’t get a letter from Ohio to Arizona in less than two weeks: I know…..I’m being charged late fees because of it! (My point: we can’t solve small problems: HTF can we solve big ones?)
@@altdefcon Oh, yes. It was like moving to another planet! Funny thing is, I became a webmaster for a school district for about four-years :) I remember having a terrible nightmare about the internet having heard about it, but never having seen it. I remember thinking, well it could never be like that, thank goodness! And it wasn't at first, but now it is.
Wanna know what i find to be the most funny thing about this video? The fact that this video ranges from multiple topics from supersonic flights, electric flying taxis, and even a futuristic factory that would even make Willy Wonka wanna ditch his oompaloompa's, yet depite that, the most replayed part of the whole video is on......the one with truckers......
I lived through the Oklahoma tests. As kids we went outside to watch the jets. A neighbor said they had broken windows. She was the only one I knew about. Who knows?
For shooting a rifle at a driverless semi-truck, would it be considered destroying private property or self-defense? Driverless semi-trucks should have their own exclusive highway. Then the public roads would be in better condition. Huge improvement in travel would be just separating commercial and private transportation.
All the rubes and fear-mongers should review the newspapers/books/media surrounding the expansion and adoption of automobiles from 1880 to 1920. Everyone was afraid and predicted disaster, if not dismissing it as a fad. BTW, there were risks and deaths! Humans overcame the problems, and things changed. Do you want to go back to the horse and buggy? Was the price of change worth it?
19:00 The technical problem with booms cost to then reach a live plane is a hidden reality check , each plane will have a critical structure lifetime , the supersonic adds stresses on the super structure which lessens that lifetime . Speed comes with a cost , slower speeds equals safer commute and longer lived air frames . The aircraft builders would love this to come true , google search the life of a jet fighter for flight hours before being decommissioned,? the answer is miles of flight one plane would last til scrapped .
Say good bye to feeling safe in your home. Say good bye to privacy, quiet, birds, wildlife and trespassing laws. Anyone who's suffered under a changed flight path or general aviation aerial harassment already knows that the FAA does NOT protect anyone or anything on the ground and law enforcement relegates anything in the air to FAA, plus they also have aircraft... so sanity, safety, constitution and wildlife will be the sacrifice for Advanced Air Mobility and eVTOL.
15min battery range at 24mph , you’ll only be able to travel 6miles.
Whoa, nobody asked for facts. Stop confusing them. LOL
That's what he said, wasn't it about the battery life
There are more efficient designs. Like the Jobi.
And maybe 6ft under
But it's green, man. No jet fuel required. You don't need fuel to charge batteries. I'm pretty sure of that.

A $250 taxi ride to work is what every city worker dreams of! 30x less efficient than jet fuel by volume and 10x less efficient by mass, lacking variable pitch and having terrible rotor loading compared to a helicopter, I am eagerly awaiting what evtols might do in a few years… just wait for 2024 - what will the world look like? 😉
@36:.6,,, That one word,, "NEEDED" is the very best word to describe truck drivers. HOW can we human's exist without our truck drivers? Can autinomis provide the same service our trucker drivers provide? Time will tell but I'm not nearly as optimistic as are some of these high paid engineers. No,, I'm NOT a truck driver but I highly respect their level of skill as they transport all we humankind NEED to exist from town to town. They do it right.
Can’t wait to see driverless trucks! Especially since 50%of current truck drivers aren’t properly trained.
BP bought out TA and are installing chargers at all locations. Built in honing device and the whole nine. Currently trucking companies have special rights to employee immigrants because the industry treats them so bad Americans don't want anything to do with it. Shipping has become so super competitive they're pouring big dollars into capturing the market so this advancing quick. I would say we will see these driverless trucks on the road in the next 3 years
We’ll remember you said that after one of these rolling millstones pancakes you to the asphalt!
This is a beautified death trap
How many die in car crashes every day?
Fatal car crashes in the US in 2022 = 42,795. That's an average fatal crash rate of ~16 deaths per 100,000 vehicles. If you drive, you already take your life in your hands every day.
@@HLBear I actually ride an E-bike. I don't like being in vehicles.🫡
I actually caught this Video six days later,but its interesting to me.
so you name your company BOOM, and it produces aircraft? i get that the boom is meant because of breaking the sound barrier, but, if one of these goes down, maaan, that name will haunt them.
This is Theramos, Wework, Nikola, all over again.
A plane with no engine. Not much boom is happening at the moment. Not sure people care much about the speed but prefer better services, and for doors and parts to stay on the plane.
Hell with that. Ill take the stick thank you very much. These things are easy to fly

Landing pads on buildings was tried in NYC till a NY Airways helicopter crashed on the roof of the (Pan Am) Met Life building and had to be disassembled and brought down piece by piece in the elevator.
I believe in the idea and have invested in Joby since they have already received their FAA Part 135 license but with the cost of the airframes and the batteries, this is going to be a tough business model. For instance, the lack of range eliminates rural areas from service, and then there are the landing charges of the FBOs which add up quickly using the "taxi" model.
25:18 Lol - when you put it that way.

Visions of a futuristic world meets reality. I wonder what kind of world today's children will grow up in, and then what it will look like in their golden years. If it's anything like I have seen through technological advances, I can't even begin to imagine how adaptable they will have to be.
i’m always curious to ask people older than me (i’m 19) how they view the technological shift in society, how much changed for you and did it shock you how much progress has been made ?
@@altdefcon I can remember getting our first color TV! No internet, of course. No credit cards ... everything changed. Everything was so much easier back then. It has shocked me more than you could imagine. I am still shocked every single day by technology. It is wonderful that such a young person as yourself is taking an interest! Good for you!
This country can’t get a letter from Ohio to Arizona in less than two weeks: I know…..I’m being charged late fees because of it!
(My point: we can’t solve small problems: HTF can we solve big ones?)
@@pi1810 i could imagine it was like entering an entirely different world for you when the internet first came out!
@@altdefcon Oh, yes. It was like moving to another planet! Funny thing is, I became a webmaster for a school district for about four-years :) I remember having a terrible nightmare about the internet having heard about it, but never having seen it. I remember thinking, well it could never be like that, thank goodness! And it wasn't at first, but now it is.
Wanna know what i find to be the most funny thing about this video? The fact that this video ranges from multiple topics from supersonic flights, electric flying taxis, and even a futuristic factory that would even make Willy Wonka wanna ditch his oompaloompa's, yet depite that, the most replayed part of the whole video is on......the one with truckers......
I thought the most replayed part was how some random person knows the most replayed part.. Oh yeah, the Google headset..
@alioxinfree I've noticed, in fact, that's why I'm saying so. Even still, you mean to tell me that you don't find that fact to be most fascinating??
I lived through the Oklahoma tests. As kids we went outside to watch the jets.
A neighbor said they had broken windows.
She was the only one I knew about. Who knows?
That would be fun while prospectsing😎
6:50 This is the guy that made that Tripod! I thought that name sounded familiar.
60 Minutes tough questions.
"So the weight of everything must be an important thing?"
EXCELLENT QUESTION, VERY well thought out....
This is just for the rich and powrful, us peasants are going to be on the ground with our Donkeys when cars are banned.
…Some will only be able to carry ONE overweight passenger at a time ..
I'm 70 years old. I demand to be accepted in the Future Factory and explore ideas;-)

For shooting a rifle at a driverless semi-truck, would it be considered destroying private property or self-defense? Driverless semi-trucks should have their own exclusive highway. Then the public roads would be in better condition. Huge improvement in travel would be just separating commercial and private transportation.
10:16 Maybe a hybrid is in order. The yellow one with a gas engine and a battery powered alarm clock and compass. 😁
All the rubes and fear-mongers should review the newspapers/books/media surrounding the expansion and adoption of automobiles from 1880 to 1920. Everyone was afraid and predicted disaster, if not dismissing it as a fad. BTW, there were risks and deaths! Humans overcame the problems, and things changed. Do you want to go back to the horse and buggy? Was the price of change worth it?
Wow….amazing indeed!
26:43 .... Wasn't there an earthquake in North Carolina yesterday?
Don't worry. If anything goes wrong, you can land the EVTOL with a Logitech controller
..Or next to a hog pen in Arkansas …🤭
Quiet until it's 100's flying lol
Lets do it the Jetsons let have flying cars😂😂😂
00:02:00.
The guy they interviewed " spent 6 months driving" thats cute
19:00 The technical problem with booms cost to then reach a live plane is a hidden reality check , each plane will have a critical structure lifetime , the supersonic adds stresses on the super structure which lessens that lifetime . Speed comes with a cost , slower speeds equals safer commute and longer lived air frames . The aircraft builders would love this to come true , google search the life of a jet fighter for flight hours before being decommissioned,? the answer is miles of flight one plane would last til scrapped .
Say good bye to feeling safe in your home. Say good bye to privacy, quiet, birds, wildlife and trespassing laws. Anyone who's suffered under a changed flight path or general aviation aerial harassment already knows that the FAA does NOT protect anyone or anything on the ground and law enforcement relegates anything in the air to FAA, plus they also have aircraft... so sanity, safety, constitution and wildlife will be the sacrifice for Advanced Air Mobility and eVTOL.
