General Motors made the most of CES 2021, betting the farm on a new idea

Not for you then? Gonna let John Travolta have all the fun?

@@sclogse1 i can see a Swordfish 2 movie with john escaping in the flying caddy.

Why a radio?

Sono Motors perhaps

LOL ... Uber & Lyft goes to places no satellite system knows about - even at times when satellite links are down.

Yessir.. not too far away from any employment available being performed on a keyboard. I wonder if this is behind the socialism/communism agenda? They know jobs as we knew them won’t exist and no viable replacement options.

Jamming signal and hijack. Corporate wants to increase profits so much they pay you just enough to not quit and then replace you with autonomous machines. I can’t wait for the reset button were it’s like the purge and the first hunted will be the rich and privileged. Next thing is Amazon wants to be part of everything in your home, from you door security, cooking, cleaning, and even bidet cleaning your butt. Lmao 😂 it will be like Idiocracy 2006. If you think Millennials are bad wait for the next generation of kids from millennials. BTW all of this is just for humorous imo.

@@KindredSpawn except the “rich and privileged” will live behind the walls that they say “don’t work” until they put up the walls around them, like the ones at the U.S. Capitol building.

No time soon

I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

@Leonel Cayden Instablaster =)

oh man, u hit the nail on the head. they want some of that Elon Musk money! hah

Tesla is also at $870per stock. Went up 450 in less than 3 months!

That's a bad thing? Maybe this is what it takes to finally get flying cars

@@zacharyhutchison4006 Exactly we should have had full travel capability decades ago.

Our power grid can’t support ev vehicles

Can you imagine how enthusiastic his family's dinner conversation would be?

you must be a Happy 🙄 person

yeah he's awesome, been doing the cnet cartech videos since forever. Brian something or other I forget his last name.

I can get his energy just by watching this three times.

These other companies are running around like chickens with their head cut off... no real focus, all marketing and prototypes.

How though they sell stuff Tesla doesn’t different market ??

B o ko ok by o

@TECH TRENDS ooooooo

I can say one thing for sure these companies are great at using Photoshop and doing CGI demonstration of futuristic vehicle 🤣

hahaha

Cadillac uses nanotechnology in it's suspension system.

Hey, GM "plans" to go all electric by 2035. Only 14 years from now, they will be ok.........oh wait. I'll be impressed if GM makes out of the decade.

@@sclogse1 Nano-Marketing

Waiting for the next bailout of Government Motors.

Like half of all car commercials.

@@sclogse1 more like all of them

guessing you're new to this. Even show cars at these shows are not going to be production cars, most of them don't even get made.

@@chihchang1139 yeah, they're concept cars. They more like art than transportation.

Conceptualizing all day. Gets it running. Had to return it, all that's left is my chair!

He’s on CNET’s Roadshow channel.

Should be renamed When GM and others tried to sabotage the EV . Lawyers probably advised against that. Did they commit ecocide? Ref Stop Ecocide International

@Lightworker VonHelton, you mean ice vehicles don’t freeze up in freezing temperatures. A lot of real engineers are involved with the future of EV’s. There’s to many politics deciding how ice cars should be built.

I wish I could host a tech show strictly for tech that’s available for public,affordable and production ready .I’m tired of crap these are not going into production so why are they wasting ppl time and plus most of this stuff is only for rich people ...your average everyday person can’t afford this ,they are just starting to raise minimum wage to 15 bucks in some states and that still ain’t 💩 .My point is
why not make tech affordable for everyday ppl they are not being very realistic these are just toys for the rich.

It’s to make the investors happy lol 😂

What's crazy is the price for things are increasing rapidly, especially cars and flagship phones for example. While the materials to build them are becoming cheaper especially things like the frame for car and the plastic shell for phones, and also glass is being used much more for phones and cars as shown in the video. New plastic material which is more durable, flexible and less expensive are being used in just about any product you can name. The outer shell of Cars are molded plastic like materias. my point is that with the use of cheaper materials,more robots less humans on the assembly lines why are prices rising drastically? New iPhones are costing $1K? Jeep is making a new SUV that will start at $100k and it's not electric. The new Hummer is priced at $100k. Although the Tesla truck is starting at $60k. Things need to change within the USA, forget party lines and political figures! We need to put the people of the USA first just like in our initials.

I hitch rides on tornadoes.

The JD Powers award 🥇 approve your comment.

A few jd awards.

While I'm flying all the way to the bank to deposit my laughing.

@@sclogse1 GM will fly all the way to join Pam Am in being a no longer viable company LOL

it wasn't that flattering toward GM though. He basically calls them out on their designs being vapor.

Not enough. It sucks. On a side note though, they have already won five JD Power 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 awards for best fantasy ideas and special effects.

Especially considering they are trying to do e-vtol imagine one crashing into a living room apartment because faulty manufacturing

lol, I would love to buy American cars again. But they cost too much and break down too often.

@@CaedenV Teslas and some Toyotas are the most American made cars

@@AbcdNotincluded True, I always think of "The big 3", but I guess there are more options than that now. Also, hard to imagine Toyota as 'American' when it is a Japanese company. It may be made in America, and provide American jobs, but the profits still go overseas.

@@AbcdNotincluded My roommate drives the most bland looking Toyota of all time. This is the most nondescript car ever. And it won't die. 14 years.

New coverage, some of us that's is not 8n the know

When I was working at a Toyota factory 2 years ago, they already had a bunch of robots doing it

​@@mezzb Our goal shouldn't be to "keep the ship going", our goal is growth, expansion, advancement, and to maximize that, it forces us to always be pushing beyond our current technological capacity. It won't ever ease up. It's our nature.

Not the doing away of menial labour!

@@nickfleming3719 He was agreeing with you.

The guy is a dolt.

Yeah like Tesla is the one of the only ones that is actually putting out good realistic things which you can go buy and you can touch in real life and drive unlike computer programs

@C NET THAT'S an International phone number. I can't afford to make it to you. I'm at 404 573 2700.
I was a partner in a project identical to this one called Gemini hellicopters. It had two rotors. There were no end to stabilization issues. The Japanese made one that works. Since then, the project dissolved.
Optic fiber cable was used in the 1983 Cadillac to let you know what was lighting up around your position. It is possible to use that to send visual images directly into your cockpit or else use camcorders. It needs a complete 360°visual field to see above while seeing below while seeing to the right and left.
I know things that it needs by just looking at it.

Battery factory isn't finished in Ohio and the retooling at other factories hasn't started.

Bankrupt Government Motors, leading the way, rightttt!

Hey! They got a new slogan. "It's not your great grandfather Oldsmobile"

@@Paul-ou1rx 😂

GMs best selling EV.

Very true all cars will be flying in the future. Plus with small drone type aircraft you could implement software and AI to avoid crashes and if they do happen parachutes along with other safety measures could be used to protect the occupants.

@@nickstar6790 lol, that’s a lot of stuff that needs to go right all of the time. If the entire auto industry couldn’t even get airbags right (takata) I definitely not trusting them with parachutes 🤣. Also, are you willing to do a preflight inspection every time you want to go to the grocery store? Not sure you’ve been around aircraft much (flying car = aircraft), but they require next level preventative maintenance and inspections because of the inherent danger of falling from high places.

@@ItsTheNada that’s your opinion. Futuristic Software and AI will become the solve all when it comes to accident prevention. Aircraft technology will become advanced enough to streamline everything else. Obviously you can’t avoid 100% of accidents but last time I check cars on the ground are not that safe either.

@@nickstar6790 The massive takata recall (and tons of other recalls) is a fact, not opinion. preflight checks and mechanical failure is a fact, not opinion. The one thing we agree on is that cars on the ground are dangerous. There are simply more things that can go wrong with thousands of cars in the air above us no matter what AI is being used. There’s also the problem with connectivity/network outages, hacking, code failures. So again, more dependencies on systems working together seamlessly. It’s a lot to ask for. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not hating. It’s just the probability of zero fault over any significant amount of time is soooo low. The current personal drone prototypes look extremely unstable and it would be difficult to store enough energy for usable range without gasoline too. They’ll start as non DOT certified recreational vehicles and probably stay that way for a while.

Don't have to imagine.
It already is in a LOT of crash's.

And all those batteries would be a huge source of energy storage. what if every Texan had their EV hooked to the grid.

@@dionysusnow they would overload the grid
