i'm jeff kannada and we're here to help you out with some headlines there is a 3d printed self-driving bus that someone has let loose on the streets of washington DC ollie was made by local motors and it's got some neat tricks of its leaves there's an app that allows passengers to summon ollie for pickup and drop off and thirty sensors onboard which collect data from every trip it can analyze the data quickly things to help from IBM's Watson technology and then make decisions about traveling and even answer passenger requests in the future Ollie can be printed and assembled in about eleven hours total which is an impressive feat and Local Motors plans to make micro factories around the world to supply these little buses to major metropolitan cities this is the future of metro travel I think so I mean I think self-driving cars that you can summon I have it take you taxi you ever need to go and then go and pick up the next fare is really that's the future of metropolitan travel but it's even cooler because it seems like they're so easy eleven hours to build a car that's so fast so fast that's wild it's incredible I love that there it's actually in use that's my favorite we don't have to wait it's here pretty good well you have to wait at the bus stop that's true that's a good point well made uh if you thought to yourself smartphones are not gonna change from this square rectangular boringness you were wrong check out runcible runcible is a circular phone meant to remind users of other similar yet more traditional devices like the pocket watch not only is its shape hoping to disrupt the marketplace its function is to run simple doesn't have a notification system and is designed to never interrupt you you can make calls with it you can take pictures with it you can surf the web with it and get directions with it but runcible isn't made to do much more than that they're still in design and testing mode but if you want an early adopter version you can back a runcible for $399 on indiegogo what's use case for this thing I want my phone interrupt me I mean I know it's annoying sometimes but sometimes I need to get interrupted by some people don't want that they get very annoyed by notifications I think we're power users like we forget most people have one email account they don't have to check it all the time they don't need to be immediately up to date on everything and this would be kind of a nice alternative and they have a sort of recycled plastic backs and also I just find that circular form factor really yeah new form factors for phones I think is really gonna shake things up everything looks like an iPhone now well and before that it you know phones look now that their phones they look like little TVs so it's we got it we're gonna switch it up I like it we are not having a long show this week yeah I'll be at VidCon Oh moderating some panels doing excitement so if you're an Anaheim you can get four hours of Ashley escapa over the weekend at VidCon you're more than what even my four hours that's not nearly enough oh thank you I appreciate that so nice but these guys want to talk about the show this week use hashtag hey TV yeah we appreciate hearing from you having that discussion we like making the show a two-way street so use that hashtag on Twitter and we'll know you're talking about us yes are you ready to look at a selfie or two I'm excited about this yeah all right let's check out our phone target for the day poly wrote in and sent these two photos and says hello wanted to share this photo is the first ever selfie that might then ten-year-old son Nathan ever took we were at Mount Rushmore and he saw his older brother take a selfie who I'm guessing is on the right he has to borrow my phone so he could do the same I love the look of concentration on his face I've also included the original selfie taken by said older brother Alex so we have Alex and Nathan here that's awesome I like how he's trying to you know mimic the look of shock yeah I love it he said there she says they were both taking on iPhone 5s thanks love the show frequently share clips with these boys Holly McEvoy I always love a selfie that has sunglasses in it because then you can see the reflection of the hand -
