  1. HEY THUNDERFOOT YOU MADE A MISTAKE. I work in Industrial control systems, automation and robotics. Those 2 robots you show at 37:30 have been available for AT LEAST 25 YEARS. The company I left in 2001 was the (then) Kuka and Adept agent in Australia and we knew what our competitors could do. The robot on the left of your shot is a standard 6 axis anthropomorphic arm and those have been around for decades. The robot on the right is a 4-axis "Spider Robot" (just put "4-axis spider robot into google"). I know that BEFORE the year 2000 ABB had one of those available. The thing that you are NOT highlighting in that part of the video is that the spider robot is locating the items its picking off the conveyor using vision guided robotics. Notice how all those parts are randomly arranged and the spider is arranging them in organised groups so the other robot can place them on the next conveyor. There is a camera upstream of the robot looking down on the conveyor which has an encoder on it. The vision system identifies the location and orientation of each part and with the encoder on the conveyor translates that to the Spider which can then pick it up and orientate it and put it back down in the right place so the other robot can pick up the groups of 4 parts. I know how that stuff works because I had that technology demonstrated to me by an Adept Engineer when I visited their Cincinnati Office in 1998 or 99. They weren't using a Spider robot at that time. They were using a small high speed SCARA robot. So I know for a fact that technology has been available for AT LEAST 25 YEARS. So SORRY Thunderboy but your 15 years is wrong its at least 25. Fyi - I actually did aerospace and if you would like I'd be happy to show you how truly stupid they are being with the Artemis program. Its worse than most people realise. The closest I have seen anyone expose the real depth of the issue is Destin (another Aerospace) who has the YT channel "Smarter Every Day." For anyone interested put "smarter every day artemis" into the YT search and the top item should be titled "I Was SCARED To Say This To NASA... (But I said it anyway) - Smarter Every Day 293" posted 4 Dec 2023.

  2.  @EaglePicking  Yes that's a fair criticism that Phil doesn't do as many videos on OTHER people as he used to do. BUT THEN Elon is so overplaying his hand these days and its such a huge thing if Tesla goes under. I don't think it will, because I think other people will step in and dump Elon on his butt and then make what's left work. Most of all Tesla needs to be re-evaluated to what sort of company it actually is AND people like Scott Galloway have pointed that out several times. Tesla has so far traded as a "Technology Company" but its also an "Automotive Manufacturer" and those are 2 very different kinds of stock/shares. They trade differently, they operate differently and they attract different investors who have different strategies. Also SpaceX (being an aerospace company) is another thing all together.

  5.  @EaglePicking  Sorry to burst your bubble and I have explained this many times, BUT there is no way they are going to solve the autonomous driving issue because the amount of computing required to do it at the level people would expect just does not exist and wont possibly ever. The actual task is far more complex than most people can even conceive let alone consider how it might be done. There's the issue of having to match what the human visual cortex can do and the human visual cortex is actually 2 systems NOT 1. There's the focus part and the peripheral part and its the peripheral part that amazes me because of what it does. The brilliance of Alan Turing's enigma breaking machine wasn't that it systematically searched the possibilities. It worked by eliminating what the answer could NOT be. The human peripheral vision system does something similar. ONE of its main tasks is threat analysis and it does that by clumping complex arrangements into single items it can dismiss very quickly. Consider your driving and you see a tree. Your brain does NOT register a million leaves and twigs and branches it just clumps it into a tree and if that tree is NOT a threat its dismissed very quickly. The same goes for the millions of bit that make up a house. Your brain doesn't go there's that brick, that brick, that brick........ etc. It goes building. It does the same for all sorts of other things. PLUS it doesn't have to even see a particular object previously ever have had to see Your peripheral system can do that almost 50 times a second. The amount of available data points is staggering and this system just does. On top of that it compares the previous frame tot recent frames to discern movement. People who think we will just be able to do that in silicon based electrical system that can fit in car really don't get what the task is. I can go on and on about this stuff but wont waste your or my time. Its just NOT going to happen. Maybe just maybe if we can get quantum computers working but not silicon based systems.
