So glad to see this happen! Although, simultaneously, I can’t help but think that maybe we should reduce our dependency on one island to produce 90% of our chips so that our economy isn’t hostage to the security of said island.
As Dino mentions, even if it loses contact with base, you can program it to continue the mission and/or return to base. But a self-destruct option would be cool too 😎
What worries me most is that the scale of manufacturing determines the military capacity of a country, but is in turn dependent on civilian manufacturing. Meaning the scale and level of manufacturing in peacetime. Putting it differently. The S.U. lost the competition against the West, because it focused on military manufacturing. And while that might make sense as a short to mid term deterent, in the long run, only an economy focused on outcompeting everyone else in the civilian space can keep the edge in the military area as well. It looks to me as if American manufacturing would be ever more focused on the military. (I don't actually know the statistics. But if the U.S. were competitve in the civilian space, arguably it would export more.) Just as the S.U.. Meaning that all the growth and scale effects of civilian manufacturing are missing. This isn't meant as a critique on this company. Rather a general strategic observation.
@@Joe_Lonsdale How much ahead? You can be a mile ahead but a Chinese drone can still take out an American sub. Doesn't matter if you're taken out by an old generation drone or a new generation drone, you die all the same.
They do have drone technology but despite what you may think Chinese companies use a lot of US tech. In commerical drones China is ahead for sure. They also tend to copy instead of innovating. The US is far ahead in software and Chips no doubt. The advantages China may have at moment are due to the US willingly sharing tech/know how for decades.
Would be great if these kinds of opportunities could also help regular Americans. Not just to people with 20-years computer scientist experience. Not everyone is a member of the expert class.
Too optimistic, mate. A talented team, no doubt. But Russia and China do too. US puts 2 astronauts on a one way ticket to space, don't believe Russia and China could ever match that.
o glad to hear folks in the industry sayin gthese things! We cannot deter or defeat China sans manufacturing at scale! THIS is the thinking we need! Thank you sir!

Yes, great point. You might enjoy this episode on exactly that topic: th-cam.com/video/dPkpBJajfF8/w-d-xo.html
No way to outproduce China.
That's why we have to pivot to swarms of smaller autonomous vessels.
We don't have to, we just have to out innovate them. That is already being done. As long as regulations and government overreach stays out.
I'm the talent they need and I'm ready to relocate thank you for posting this
Amazing, thanks for watching!
Thank you Joe. You are doing a fantastic job.
Thanks! Appreciate it.
This is a superb presentation. Makes me proud to be an American
🇺🇸🇺🇸 Thanks for watching!
Too much fluff
If the vessel loses communication with base, is should self destruct after a certain time, it cannot get in the hands of our adversaries!!!

10:00 Elon Musk influence
Waiting for a percentage response that is anything other than 100
Don't you realise that China has the same drone technology just in larger numbers?
China has advanced drone technology, but the U.S. is ahead on software and AI (chips are another story).

@@TraianoLiberatore There is a lot more to war than just who has the best drones.
@@rickjames18 Exactly. That's what Americans should understand if they think drones are a new wunderwaffen against China.

Right, Saronic employs welders and other engineers -- lots of opportunities outside of software.

DJI: how much u want to oder. 10% discount if order over 1 million units.
Real America type shyt right here
Is this a joke?
Nope. Very real.
Wishful thinking , just get us cheap electric cars dude , china will outproduce you and every other company you know of 😂😂😂
