  • From July 2022, Anderson Cooper's report on EVTOLs. Also from July 2022, Bill Whitaker's story on startups and NASA working to return passenger supersonic flights to the sky. From March 2020, Jon Wertheim's look at the new technology of driver-less trucks. And from April 2018, Scott Pelley's visit to M.I.T.'s celebrated Media Lab, the "Future Factory."
    "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

    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.

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.

      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.

    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.
