Where are these Hoverboards?

Let's all be honest, there has had to be a time in where we always wanted to own or use a hoverboard. I personally always fathomed the idea of hoverboards ever since I watched Back to the Future Part 2 and watched that infamous Marty Mcfly hoverboard scene. Since that I've always been excited for the future. The movie was set in the year 2015, that’s been 3 years ago and I don’t see anyone in the neighborhood roaming around on their iconic pink “Mattel Hoverboards”. All though  it was just a movie and it should have not been considered as a legitimate source for the availability of hoverboards. This raises questions like are we ever going to get our hands on these contraptions? There is hope. The technology from todays looks highly advanced compared to the technology present in the 1960’s. In this blog I will go over the current state of these hoverboards. I will also discuss the future of these mechanisms and develop of an output of when we can imagine ourselves on hoverboards.

To be clear, there are currently some models of hoverboards already out there in the world. The only problem is, these models don’t exactly meet the expectations we would have based off our fantasies. As briefly mentioned in a CNN Article, “Hoverboards that actually hover? They're here” by Thom Patterson the ultimate source that limits the full potential of the hoverboard is the battery core. In order to have these things be mobile they would need a battery core that is “lightweight”. The problem people are facing is that these “lightweight” batteries don’t have the amount of juice to keep a mechanism like a hoverboard on for a long time. In so the hunt for different alternatives to keep these hoverboards on for a long period of time is on. Canadian entrepreneur, Philippe Maalouf was used in this article for his contribution in the hoverboard project. Like other who are in the same boat, they haven’t found the ultimate power source and are even considering using “gasoline-fueled engines.” The estimated retail price at this time is from $25,000 to $50,000.” For a model that is in its first stages and who might not have that amount of money to spend. This idea just sounds unappealing for the moment.

To be fair, I feel like we are more closer to achieving our goals than we were a decade ago. The two main problems I feel affect the availability of hoverboards are regulations and prices. As previously mentioned in the CNN article, regulations can really affect the idea of seeing these completed innovations anywhere. The road, streets, and environment may get affected if we just have millions of people hovering around. If Maalouf’s gas alternative seems to be the way to power up these machines then this plane is in trouble in the long run. Imagine all the gas being used on all the cars, planes, motorcycles, and now hoverboards. All that amount of pollution can be fatal in the environment. In terms of prices, I expect to see it as high as 50,000 for the wave of these technological innovation. It is kind of a throwback to where the very first iphones and Macs were a fortune to be able to own. Over time, once companies and the inventors improve their products within each model. Then I feel like we’ll get a better product at a more reasonable price. I am not expecting these things to be under 2,000 to be honest. Based off the facts and information we’ve been given. I predict we the general public will be able to get our hands on these hoverboards in 10-15 years. My expectations are less exciting now after doing this research. One big reason is that the prices may be a bit high. The other thing is that there will be a lot of laws and regulations in place for my safety and all those around me. This means we can't just be riding our hoverboards casually like those girls from Back To The Future who Marty McFly borrowed from. How much more longer do you think we have to wait? Would you buy one at these high prices? Are you all ok with these regulations that may be set in place?

Hello collegians

Today we’ll talk about the advancement of prosthetic limbs which surprisingly is a huge. It’s actually interesting to see the old version we are using back then and now. To the ones the scientists are inventing right now.This advancements will make a lot of people happy and make them feel whole.Which is a good thing the world of science is doing.

Prosthetic limbs have change over the centuries since it was invention. The first one was made in 300 BC and was made of iron and wood.It wasn’t until 1997 when prosthetics were improved that they can customized settings for them.And now they could just more than walking and grabbing. People can now do stuff they want to do like for example people in the paralympics and what the scientist doing now it can do much better.

As for the the future they are working on a exoskeleton that you could control with your mind. It involves a whole lot of words so I’m just going to shorten it for you.So they have to implant electrodes in the brain and increase the neurons. In which another implant well detect them in the cortex.This all will be connected to a neurochip near the skull along with the electrodes so they could get the raw motor commands to control the exoskeleton.And if they could do it for four limbs they could certainly do the same thing for prosthetic limbs all they have to do is connect the neurochip to the prosthetic limb.

People with limbs either losing it or not being born with one sometimes feel like well not whole.And it usually takes some time to get rid of that feeling I should know one of my relatives doesn’t have a arm.But with this they can feel whole sooner because they can control their limb.Which could make people feel great especially for military people who lost one in battle.

So there you have it  prosthetic limbs and there advancements over the centuries and the future.Like I said science is doing a good thing for the world.And the advancement of prosthetic limbs this is one of the reasons why.It can a lot of people in the military and people born without one as well as the one in accidents.

Technology in our Vehicles

Technology in our Vehicles

Cars are things that have adjusted and become normal parts of our every day lives over the years. From the first Ford Model T to the newest Tesla Model 3, people have become fascinated with cars either for performance, comfort, or just mechanical curiosity.

As our cars are becoming further technologically advanced they are becoming less mechanical. Cargroup.org published an article talking about technological advancements within the past 5-10 years specifically. There are 4 main categories for the technological advancements we've seen. First off is Advanced Driver Assistant Systems which is most prevalent in the cars that have parking assistance and auto parking functions. Secondly is Vehicle Automation which focuses on detecting and preventing electrical or technological issues. Next is Vehicle Connectivity which covers cars with Bluetooth stereo and built in wifi. Lastly are New Mobility Services which allows cars to run in all wheel drive and functions of that nature. 

Cars from the 90's to even the early 2000's have very limited technological features. I personally drive a 1993 Chevy Camaro Z28 and the most advanced aspect is the aftermarket radio. 



Cars with less computer aspects give drivers a better sense of driving and feeling connected to the road. Certain technological advancements also put our cars at risk. Cars that use computerized brake systems run the risk of being remotely accessed and activated from someone other than the driver. Reports from both Wired and The Guardian give examples where cars can be remotely hacked and manipulated. Wired's account tells about hackers who demonstrated and tested on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee which caused Chrysler to recall millions and fix them. This flaw in the cars system caused Chrysler to spend a fortune patching the problem as well as a great deal of embarrassment in the public eye. The Guardians story tells about an example where a team of hackers were remotely able to access a Tesla Model S from 12 miles away and interfere with the cars brakes, door locks, touchscreen interface, and other computer run systems within the car. 

This concept has been demonstrated in media for years. Games such as the Watch_Dogs series allow players to remotely access cars and stop them in their tracks or even influence their steering.

As cars are becoming more technologically advanced we must become more technologically aware. Keeping security and integrity within a vehicles system must be heavily tested and prioritized. If bugs occur or there a flaws where hackers are able to gain access the result could be catastrophic.

I have some simple suggestions that I believe will be able to protect people but might also upset them in the process. First off older cars are always a valid option. Older cars are more mechanically run and tend to have less computers in them. The "old" car can be anything from an early 2000's basic sedan to a vintage restoration. Cars that aren't computer run in general will be a bit safer security wise. Next would be to go for base models. If you're hard set on buying a brand new car, the base models will have less bells and whistles and will even cost you less. Before you buy the package that gets you the self parking function, really ask yourself if you necessarily need it. Lastly is the most important of all, do your research! Before buying a car look for any stories about computer problems within them either in the past or recently. If a manufacturer makes a mistake in the past, they may learn and test their systems more carefully the next time around, but if you find repeat stories it should serve as a red flag. Knowing everything you can about a car before buying it is always the smartest thing you can do.

Sony in trouble?

Playstation Exclusives are in trouble?

It has been 5 years since Sony has released, their latest console, the Playstation 4 back in November 2013. The Xbox One was released around the same time period. Microsoft and Sony have been competing of who has the more superior console since 2000. The matchups so far have been PS2 vs. Xbox, PS3 vs. Xbox 360, PS4 vs Xbox One. There certainly some bias involved in determining which one is the better of two. The good thing behind this competition is that it makes both companies try and put their best foot forward. We the consumers are then being presented the best graphics, playability, games, and overall entertainment from each respective console. A system’s exclusives is what I believe helps determine which system is the better of the two. For this blog I will be talking about Sony since they are always stepping up from their previous installments and always aim to make their system more accessible to anyone.

Back in the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2 days, Sony never had well-established network in where playing with other users through multiplayers was the main part of their systems. Instead they focused on the single player aspect and worked to helping give their users the experience possible. This is where they were able to build franchises that are exclusive only to playstation users. We were welcomed with iconic characters like part Crash Bandicoot, Parappa The Rapper, Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, and Ratchet and Clanks. For me all these characters consisted of all my childhood. I lived through these games and cherish them the say way my father does with Super Mario back in his generation.

I believe it is safe to say that ever since the final days of the PlayStation 3, Sony has not been able to deliver a new content in where it gets the interest of players of all ages. To be honest Sony’s last greatest exclusives were BloodBorne and Horizon Zero Dawn. Most of their good games are just new instalments of their already set franchises. Franchises like the Uncharted series, Killzone, Infamous, Shadow of Colossus, Ratchet and Clank. This has to raise some serious concerns in regards to their creative department. According to Colin Campbell of The Polygon, now that we are out of the holiday Aside from the exclusives they are able to provide through y season. We have now a clear visual of the sales have been and Sony has seen a ;little drop off from years prior. The interesting part is that it only sold 50 million copies compared to the high 60 millions it usually sales in year pasts. PlayStation Network has been strong force since its creation in 2006. Sony has been always aiming to create a social hub in where friends and anyone across the world can interact within another. PSN has been a strong force with its collaboration with other cross media platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Spotify, etc.  As for their exclusive gaming content. Recently, None of their new content has been able to please both reviewers or game. These failures consist of games like Resogun, Knack, The Order:1886, Driveclub, No Man's Sky.

I believe it is important to be able to continue to produce new content through exclusivity through these video games franchises. These characters and games they introduce will help dictate if the game itself will be successful. Look at Disney for example, look at all the beloved characters they have created and still are doing so. It is fine to continue releasing games with characters we are used to seeing every now and then. I think it’ll hurt them in the long run if they continue releasing games featuring iconic franchises that they created along with expectations behind them. The chance of failure is significant and the chance of ruining these already good franchises reputation would be fatal. Are you ok with seeing Sony releasing content with familiar faces? What should we do? Are we the consumers being too picky?

Hello collegians

Today I’m going to talk about robots.Some of you when you think of robots you think of the robots from I, robot.Which isn’t far from today's robots that are being created.This robots can many things in the household.They could also be used other things that could help business and other people.The only question is if it’s good or bad thing which it kinda is both to be honest.

First off the one ai we all know the roomba which was designed to no longer make use a vacuum.Another one is alexia which can do anything from entertainment from taking notes,and making calls.They could also be your like a dog or cat in case you are allergic to those animals, in addition the ”AIBO” robot built by sony could also take picture and check emails.Many robotic companies want to make many robots to do chores like putting light bulbs for the elderly.

Another way they can be used is for work like being a receptionist which two are doing in japan but one of them is dinosaur for the kids.They could also be guides for museums and for greeting people.As well as odor detecting robot but I don’t know what that is for maybe for detecting unbreathable gas.Also for people who are lonely like elderly people to talk and have a conversation.The last thing they could do is be bodyguards,and for all of these they all will look like humans so people could trust them.

There are some problems with robots doing some of the things we do.For one the jobs we do will be replace by robots which has happened in the car industry.Another thing is that we will be more lazy than we already are.Personally I think this is good or bad because we get to help people like the elderly.As well as bad on people losing jobs and us being lazy.

Sci-fi movies now have another thing that came true.It has done good for the household and for the business.They also have negative effects on society.And these robots will improve through time and do things we do.The only question is whether or not we would become useless.

Has Apple gone too far?

Has Apple gone too far?

On December 29 2017, Apple openly admitted to slowing down older generation apple products purposely through a series of IOS updates. Apple, the company that manufactures phones, computers, laptops, watches, televisions to millions of consumers worldwide. This is the same company whose logo you literally see at every corner. These "slowdowns" have angered consumers, but at the same time have have led many to lose respect and trust in the company. Aside from the backlash they are getting from consumers, Apple is also facing turmoil from their investors because of they way they mislead and manipulated the “performance of older phones.” Theories are beginning to surface on how Apple has use this as a way to sabotage older generation products to behave slowly and cause consumers to consider upgrading and lead to Apple having more money in their pockets.

This situation has become so serious that Tom Schoenberg and Matt Robinson of the Los Angeles Times report hat The Justice Department and The Securities and Exchange Commision have conducted an ongoing investigation on Apple. They are looking at whether or not they have “violated securities laws concerning its disclosures about a software update slowing older apple models.” As of today, they are still in the early stages and since a month has passed there has not been any breaking news regarding Apple.

In North America, Apple has become one of the most recognized and popular brands out of the market. I would consider one of their life's most exciting moments was to be able to finally owning an Ipod touch and being able to fit in with everybody else back in 2011. There was something with the product that made you feel like you are holding one of technology most revolutionary product. Apple can word up their reasoning to why these products are being slowed down any way they want but everyone knows exactly what they are doing. In the end of the day they just care about money, not suprising at all. The people who are being affected are the ones who aren't finacially stable to keep upgrading every 2-3 years for a phone. It took me 3 years to save up for an Ipod touch and even by then I was able to afford the model that has already been outdated 3 times. It is wrong in all ways to purposely slow down these iphones and other apple products. The argument can be made that these individuals aren’t entitled to owning an apple product, they are not the only brands on the market.  I'm sorry to say that's true but in America, Apple is the most popular technological product out there. Everyone wants to own an Apple product. For example, as I’m literally typing up this blog at the J. Paul Leonard Library in SFSU. Almost everyone who has a laptop out has an Apple laptop.

As a customer for Apple, I can say I am disappointed and really lost a bit of trust with them. Considering I am one of the millions who are willing to spend the amount to be able to hold the latest Apple product. I'm beginning if I should be continuing to support this company. Almost all corporation greedy money hungry giants and Apple just showed that they are along with that. The last 2-3 we have seen Instances in where they put their prices for their products at high wages that make it not anyone can own. The latest example of this is the release of Iphone X. It's price upon its' release and still remains is $1,000. I can say that not everything I own is from Apple because I know how expensive they can be. I do know many people who heavily invest in Apple products. I am sure you know some people who are as well. Do you still have trust in Apple? Does their latest actions show their true faces? Should we continue them despite this kind of controversy?

Custom PC's

Custom PC's

It's something that has been renowned by PC gamers for years, building a PC. This is not only limited to gamers, however. This can be beneficial to anyone that uses a PC. Custom PC's can have as much power as needed and are less likely to become outdated as a pre-built computer. Pre-built computers are built with basic current components while custom ones are able to be built with upgraded components that are brand new and are even able to upgraded years down the line when they have become outdated. I personally have built my own PC and am incredibly happy with the results. 

Aside from my horrendous cable management, this PC is probably the best machine in the building. 

My brother also built his own PC this week!

Building a PC isn't even all about having a great PC, it also gives people more technical know-how. A Forbes article was written telling how the CEO of Stronghold Cyber Security, Jason McNew, builds desktops with his son Logan as a pastime. Logan enjoys building computers and even plans to become A+ certified. His goal in the future is to work hard and even start his own business. 

Another great benefit of custom computers is that they save the consumer money in the long run. Instead of paying several hundreds of dollars every few years for a new computer, you're able to spend less on a specific part. Instead of the entire computer becoming outdated, certain pieces may become due for an upgrade. A pre-built desktop can run you anywhere from $75 dollars for the most basic computer, to $4,000 for a computer that could be built for about half that. 

Building a PC brings a boatload of benefits with it on top of just being cost efficient and giving technical experience. The entire experience of building a PC can be a group effort. Often putting the computer together is a fun activity for a group of friends. Having one or two friends who have previously built a computer allows for everything to move smoothly and guarantees a less argumentative process.

Most people don't necessarily understand specs of a computer, but that is the biggest benefit of building your own PC. The two biggest components of custom computers that most pre-assembled units don't have are Solid State Drives (SSD) and a Graphics Card (GPU). SSD's are small hard drives that are able to start up and run a little faster than a regular hard drive. The common use of these drives are to install Windows, so it will open very soon after the unit is turned on. GPU's allow people to better control and upgrade their graphics capabilities. Computers running some of the newest graphics cards will run in 4K with 100+ fps as long as the monitor is capable. Mark Kyrnin from Lifewire talks about the differences of building vs buying a pc. He lists out the various benefits including the selection of parts. With building a pc you know exactly what components you have and what specs to expect. With pre-assembled units manufacturers switch suppliers fairly often for a number of reasons so you aren't guaranteed certain specs or parts.

One of my personal favorite aspects of building a computer is that you can choose how your computer physically looks. It can be something as basic as a gray box like this,

or something ridiculously complicated like this.

Something that most people don't know about building a desktop is that it is relatively easy. When building computers, as long as you know how to turn a screw, and plug things in you can do the entire process yourself. As long as you're wearing an anti-static wristband to avoid shorting out any of the components, you can easily build your own computer. Screwing in the motherboard, hard drive, fans, cpu and cooler, and any other extra components are the first steps. Then plugging everything in to the power supply as well as motherboard and viola, your computer is built. Plug it in to the wall and a monitor and you're all set to install your operating system and drivers.

robotic brain implants

Hello collegians

Today were going to talk about BCI's or brain-computer interfaces the most helpful thing for  paralyzed people.The way can do is actually quite fascinating and don’t worry I’m gonna make sure you’ll understand it.Not because your dumb but because it well be too long to read and I don’t wanna write long quotes. another thing about BCI’s that it turns out it can help other people too,not just people with paralysis.Personally I think it’s a great idea but there might be some problems with it but I hope we can get through it and help the people with these problems.

First off how they can actually do it three ways but each has a different way of doing it with the same result.One type of neuroprosthetics which there are called by can tap into signals of working muscle and make them produce movement to the paralyzed portion near or externally through the nerve system.Another one can enable it from the outside by listening for murmurs by electric waves from the brain but that still in development.The last one is actually implanted in the brain to listen for the chatter of neurons either in single or small groups.Which makes me feel that we are closure to being in real life blade runner or at least futurama.

This well actually help a lot of people like the 400,000 that are either partially or completely paralyzed in america.This can also work for people who are death by connecting the neuroprosthetics to the part of the brain that makes you hear.Another thing that they can fix are people who are death. They can do it by transmitting images by video cameras to electrodes in the implanted retina in the back of the eye.Another way they could do it is enabling blind subject to perceive simple patterns and distinguish light configurations  with the implant.

These are great things but there some problems like the fact some of these are still in development.As well as finding a way to pay for this if medicaid isn’t going help pay for it.Also the fact that they might do something wrong to your nerve system or your brain.But I still think this is a good thing and I hope we could find a way get through it.It well help so much people and can pave the way for more technology that can help more people with diseases.

BCI’s are pretty amazing things to be invented through these years of robotic limbs.To the way they are going to be used and the people they gonna help.They are some problems that can’t be avoided when talking about this.But I choose to believe we can get through it so other people can get there life back.As well as improve putting technology implants in people with other disabilities like diabetes.  All in all I think this is one thing that proves we are heading the right direction.

                                                                                                                   Sincerely,

Microtransactions=Pay To Win?

Microtransactions=Pay To Win?

The definition for a Microtransaction is a " business model where users buy virtual items via micropayments." These virtual items that can be purchased can vary. There are a few just for cosmetic purpose that would show off virtual clothing, body armor, etc. Most Microtransactions  help give users an advantage. For example, in the popular mobile game, Madden Mobile the objective behind this game is to be able to build the best overall team. In order to build the best ultimate team players must participate in events,challenges, tournaments in order to receive players that improve their team. For competitive purposes and a way to limit exploiting, EA incorporates an "stamina" system. This system depends on the level the user is and determines the amount of “stamina” users can have to engage in head to head matches, challenges, and competitive play. Once they run out of “stamina”, they must wait a certain period of time in order to have enough to engages. Usually in order to have full energy it can take up to 4 hours. The more you level up, the more quantity of “stamina” you can contain.

All this grinding and amount of time can be avoided with microtransactions. In this instance, for Madden Mobile EA has a store full of microtransactions. You can purchase points that are used to rush that ideal 4 hour time limit in the matter of seconds. This as a whole eliminates the concept of the “stamina” system and allows users to have a significant advantage to reaching their goals. Microtransactions was created for the specific reason of gaining more revenue, but the speculation of this “cheat” has lead to discussions of whether or not it benefits the game or media.

To start off with the positives behind Microtransactions, we can use the points Jake Valentine of Gamezone uses in his article, "The pros and cons of microtransactions in a major release." His two main points that backed up microtransaction consisted of how it provides free additional content and how it helps support a game that is free financially. To elaborate from his points, most of these games that involve microtransactions are free. These free games are  most popular on mobile phones. Games like Candy Crush, Clash Of Clans, Madden Mobile, etc. If it's free, then these microtransactions are one of the only ways these companies can really generate revenue and even continue allowing their products to even be on the market. Yes, the amount of time their game or media gets a download they get money, but it isn’t the same as what Activision does every November by selling its latest instalment of the Call of Duty Franchise for $59.99-$99.99. Valentine argues that Since it's free, and  ideally the reasonable price for a video game these days is between $35-$60. It is not really that bad to spend that amount towards microtransactions in the end since you got the game for fee. Getting more of edge in terms of games that revolve around competitive play, allows you to having a better experience and have a longer duration playing the game.

On the other side, we have users who believe this whole concept like Valentine says, “It’s not popular with gamers at all. It can give people that pay an advantage.” An example of how bad microtransactions are truly are, we can look at EA’s Star Wars Battlefront II. Star Wars Battlefront II was the second installment of EA’s Battlefront series. Since its’ release in November 2017, the game has faced many criticism for its use of microtransactions. In the game in had a similar point system like the example of Madden Mobile. In this case all the iconic characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo were set to be unlocked with almost 100,000 credits. That is roughly up to 100 hours of gameplay or through microtransactions at least $50 worth of credits to be able to unlock one virtual character. Like Battlefront II they incorporated the whole system of loot crates in where people can achieve or pay for amounts of crates that contain goodies that hinder their gameplay. In the end it paints the game as something you have to  pay to win. This system ended up hurting sales, and has led to such public outrage that the future of series is in question.

The system of microtransactions really showed these companies their true colors of setting up everything to where they keep sucking money out of you. As previously stated this system isn’t bad for mobile games that are free to start off with. Fortnite, one of the most popular games that everyone is talking about is a perfect example of how microtransaction should be used for. It is a free game to all consoles and PC. The only things you can buy that does not hinder your gameplay at all is through Skins and weapon skins. The prices for these digital items may be high but they are not items that give you an advantage of any sort. The developers at Epic Games do a great job of having everything balanced and equal to anyone. Games like Call Of Duty, Madden, Star Wars in where you want to have a better experience then you should invest in their microtransactions lead to failures. It lead to things being unbalanced and unfair for those who aren’t in the situation for spending more on a game they just barely have. Paying $60 to play in a game where someone in the same level as me has three times the weapons, three times the strength can really affect my experience for the game. I ask you all now is the concept of microtransactions worth it? Can you see it work for all games? Should we develop a new more justified system?

self driving cars

Good days,my fellow collegians

For this week I’ll be talking about almost every lazy person dream a self-driving car.To which I say it’s the second coolest thing I want next a flying car.But I’m not talking about how we should just buy one right now, I’m going to talk about waiting for some time to actually get one.For one making sure that there won't be any problem with the car and second we need to learn to how to trust  ai car .As well looking toward the future of self- driving car and us.

First of let state the obvious that all self-driving cars design it still has the driver's seat meaning that they still might fail.Which means they still want me to look where I’m going for the machine which I call bs. Another thing that could happen is that you could hack the car which sounds cool but as I learned from playing watch dogs 2 you can do some deadly things with it.They could also be a bug in the system which could make it get a fender bender or worse.Today AI cars are like deloreans there good on the outside but terrible in everything in.

Another thing is we are so fast on being comfortable on letting the car drive itself which is strange considering we spend more time thinking whether or not suicide squad was actually a good movie. There is one case that a guy from Blacksburg ,Florida was in a self driving car and he died due to the case of him watching harry potter.Which in all honesty isn’t a bad movie to watch before you die.What befalls me the most is we are more quickly to forgive people rather than machines. Which i get it i yell at my microwave when i get burnt popcorn by pressing the popcorn button.All i'm saying is that we need learn to be in between  optimistic and paranoid.

Finally for all the problems for the ai car let's look forward to the future.Were us lazy people have one less thing to do.Technology that can’t be hacked due to a unique code embedded in the software.We already had one person killed by the car and a couple of fender benders so we just need time so that won’t happen again.Also to binge watch orange is the new black on the way to vegas but i’m getting carried away.

What i’m getting at is that we should wait a couple a years to get one after it is legal for the public to buy.Whether it being to make sure there won’t be any problems while driving it.Or trying figure out to actually trust the vehicle.All of us should keep a open mind new technology because for better or for worse the world is getting to be like a sci-fi movie.And in all honesty it well be cool either way.

                                                                                                               Sincerely yours
