In the past 20 years, many tech companies have stepped up to the plate and built their own car. Problem is, none of them have caught on. Why? Today we’re gonna find out. From the first “tech company” car by Westinghouse, to Samsung, Dyson, Sony, Apple and even Amazon. Also, why does Tesla call themselves a tech company? They make cars, what gives?

IIRC Google was researching autonomous cars so that drivers can be using Google's services instead of driving ;)
Except Tesla are yet to make a profit...
They should stick with software, auto manufacturing has much lower returns than software and IT services

Back when flat screens first started popping off i remember the 45 inch sony tv in our living room being like 3 or 4 grand
lmao there's cameras, tv's, projectors, sound equipment and idk how much more stuff they make but since it's a japanese firm i'll not be surprised if they have a lot more stuff they make
Can confirm. I have a 3500$ a7rIV. That doesn’t even include the lens :)
Yeah ive got the alpha 6400(just starting out), and 2 tvs one i bought in 2010 is a 46" Bravia, and a 70" OLED I got last year and it was less than i paid for the one in 2010

Most "car" companies fail at making cars too...
Not many. Most have had success
@@user-iv7bb6yz2q Cars? Yes. Good cars? No
Dmc went bankrupt because chevrolet set john delorian up inna drug scam to shut him down, he was a head designer for chevrolet and they stopped him from creating a rival car to their business
dallas gibson The FBI did it themselves, he was a high profile figure and they wanted something tangible to show the “effectiveness” of the War on Drugs. Granted what they did was entrapment so he was acquitted.
It wasn’t his arrest that made him bankrupt though, it’s because he chose to manufacture cars in a place as hostile as Northern Ireland in the 80s.
certainly like KIA and Hyundai cars looked confused
"If Apple made a car, will it have windows?"
This joke could make sense here, maybe
No u have to separately pay for that🤣🤣
I actually heard about the idea of completely replacing the windows with screens. During normal driving it just shows the output of cameras and for passengers or, ideally, self driving, displays entertainment. This was from some tech company exec. It's quite stupid but they are aiming for windowless cars.
@@WandererOfWorlds0 Egg cars?
Don't worry you'll have to get the engine too and if you want it fixed they'll just say buy a new car instead because replacing a bumper will cost as much as a new car.

I work at waymo and it is pretty crazy at how far we've come with self driving cars. And its pretty cool to see my job on donut media.
Hey, can someone please explain how any type of car (self diving or not, flying in the air or driving underground in tunnels) can solve the traffic problems of big cities? I see, it can't. Only public mass transport can.

As someone who visited South Korea in recent years, I can confirm:
You will see a “Samsung” nameplate on cars driving around. It’s... bizarre.
Oh? Thats weird...
Look at my Samsung Ls400!
True. The car division of Samsung is owned by Renault-Nissan for quite some time though. The Renault Talisman is a rebranded Samsung for instance. One of the Samsung SUV's is a Nissan Qashqai/Rogue underneath. The Renault Kadjar is a Qashqai too. Renault-Dacia-Samsung are basically the same brand. Nissan-Mitsubishi-Datsun-Venucia are the other pillar. Together they own a majority share in AutoVAZ(Lada) too.
Currently in the Republic of Korea. Samsungs and Daewoos everywhere.

Apple car: engines sold separately
you need subscribtion to use sport mode
@@ya2131 oh, sorry. English isnt my main language
The Apple car likely would be sold without the charging cable the first year, but would after that.
Imagine selling an engineless car with a plethora of engine options or they could install any engine you request and that would add onto the value/cost? So they'd hold your car until you approved an engine out of a list or something. Idk I think it'd be interesting if executed correctly.
Normal financing etc
The car from Sony looked really good. And I loved the way it looked. It’s a shame that Sony didn’t continue making that car.

You can probably still drive your car and its probably gonna have state regulations to have a manual mode. If not their gonna add one because of demand.

What happened to science garage i miss that show
He became a dad
Jeremiah’s “Science Explained” has replaced bumper to bumper (at least temporarily). Jerry is awesome and so is the show but very different and not as funny/crazy as Bart with Science Garage
@@Cmass9 yes you are absolutely right bart needs to come back
Daddy Santamaria Bart was actually supposed to come back in late 2019, they even teased it on Reddit. According to a post from Nolan, something changed that he couldn’t get into specifics and as a result Bart’s Donut comeback didn’t happen and I assume might never happen. Last I heard he’s at MotorTrend now.

"1 million lives could be saved a year from driverless cars"
Statistics like that can never quantify the number of people who didn't crash because they were driving.
Aircraft for example, more commercial aircraft have been saved by humans during an instrument failure than humans have caused commercial aircraft to crash in pilot error. AI will never be able to fix it's own eyes and ears when they malfunction that's why a human pilot will always have a place inside any safe system.
Most car crashes are caused by people making errors
I mean they could optimize the AI by having one run a flight sim and using a Neural Network to learn and update the other AI on the planes
@ThePatUltra the forgotten idea of human self preservation is what I'm getting at. But not about correcting human error. Humans are proven to have saved more planes from the same systems an AI relies on to operate failing. Than humans have caused commercial aircraft to crash. We focus on the 2 or 3 commerical crashes in a year out of millions of flights and do not focus on the many thousands of "doomed" aircraft without pilots to address a mechanical or ATC logistical issue.
Car crashes are the same way. The NTSB rules many crashes as a failure of the vehicle but insurance agents and lawyers make recalls scarce. So if it only kills a few people alright, kills a thousand in a year that's an issue.
That's actually a terrible comparison because the standards for being a pilot are so high. If car drivers had to live up to airline pilot standards, there would be no car crashes at all. Also, airliners are always flown by two people, so it would be like having a driving instructor in the passenger seat all the time.
Liked the moment Nolan mentioned Deftones in the ad. I nominate “My Own Summer” as official summer jam of 2020.
We love Nolan

Well, Samsung is making something cooler than cars in my opinion:

If you have droid it doesnt matter but if you have ihpone and the headphones have the apple chip, they connect just like airpods and its super fast.
@@oliverdepauw5663 Beats is just as much of a trashy cash grab as Rayscon, all money is pumped into advertising the hell out of them. Comparing either company's products to the "cheap" competition is laughable at best, Raycon relies on stigma against the price of Airpods and Galaxy Buds Pro, despite how TaoTronics, KZ, JBL and to a lesser extent Sony make far superior products for much less money.
How overpriced are raycon and Beats you might be wondering? Well I don't work for either company so cost of production is unknown to me, but looking at other headphones (using Beats for this example) from Beats competition in the same price range you wind up with 2 major markets: Closed back isolation headphones (Bose, Sony and Sennheisser are the three big players in this market) where build quality, materials, sound quality, sound stage (how 3D things can sound I.E. being able to point in the direction of members of an audience in a live album) and even and even noise cancellation are far inferior despite being comparable price wise. That's just Beats though, surely Raycon aren't such a big scam right?
Well Dankpods has two excellent videos on Raycon earbuds, namely their awful sound, ludicrously bass heavy even by earbud standards, the build quality of Raycon is pretty shocking. Like super concerningly bad, many stories of the left bud failing completely, the hinge being made of cheap and flimsy plastic that also broke super easily, people finding very similar buds on AliExpress (they are not the same internals but 100% someone ripped of the design of the other company) plus the general lack of dependability and reliability when compared to cabled earphones keeps making Raycon look awful, don't get me wrong I hate that video sponsorships exist and the necessity of them but I will gleefully tell everybody that talks about Raycons to never buy them
