Tomorrow Daily - Samsung's Smart Truck helps drivers see the road ahead, Ep. 196

2015-06-22
on today's show NASA is headed to Jupiter's moon Europa we're gonna give you all the details and Playstations got some big news it's not actually it's not actually big news okay if it's bigger it's big I'll tell you biggish and also Samsung has an 18-wheel truck that you can see right through so if you want to pass it on a highway you're not gonna die tomorrow daily greetings citizens on the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best new talk show known universe I'm Ashley skeleton he's always post III haze kill anonymous get a good show I did but I immediately went home and played video games I was because you don't play a lot of game really deadlines a weight of more than you play video game I played like four games and so the thirst is real but you know if you have any questions about our thoughts on any of our e3 ideas what we played or whatever feel free to hit us up on Twitter yeah but you know for now we're just gonna have to add lines alright so I have to tell you about the see-through truck I saw this video and I thought it was really interesting and honestly like now it has me wondering why we don't just do this with every kind of car and truck ever so samsung has what they're calling Samsung safety truck it's an 18-wheel truck a big rig what are other names for big rigs we got your wheeler 18 wheeler 18 wheeler yeah we got 18 wheeler I don't know anyway a rig a lot of people there's like different names from all over the country um so it's really cool it's a concept idea might save some lives which I always like it is a giant truck cargo truck with a screen on the back of it and a front mounted camera so let's say you're driving down a highway and it's only two lanes and you can't pass a truck unless you know if there's a car coming in there directions it's super dangerous right if you're reviewing that scenario we have to pass somebody and you're like I don't know if there's someone coming because this is a kind of a big vehicle yeah yeah now you're gonna be able to pass past this big truck without any issue so there you go that's what it looks like and even yeah bigger trucks can pass because the thing is as you can see if there's any oncoming traffic which is really really handy especially in you know on roads like this so because they needed to test on roads like this a really good place where that was Argentina so they did a lot of a pretty extensive testing in Argentina it's got a night vision mode which is pretty great you'll be able to see this screen day or night it won't wash out too much in the Sun you'll be able to take a look at it I think this is a great idea and they were saying that basically after testing again pretty extensively in Argentina that truck is not currently operational but they would like to continue to move forward with more testing and they have proven they feel they've proven the technology can work and they want to develop the system and get it out to get it Out's companies that have shipping trucks just pretty awesome what did truckers think about this did they get any truckers opinions I did not see any I I tried to look around to see if there was any any truck driver opinions because I do feel like this is a very interesting thing like truck drivers I'm curious like would you want this technology I would guess if I had to guess I would say yes because it keeps their their truck safe and and them because so many people drive dangerously around big trucks like that I mean here in Southern California I see it all the time people cut those trucks off they like they're just I think they have it in their minds that the trucks can stop quicker than they actually can or like they just don't really consider what it takes to drive a truck like that yeah and so um so I mean for me I was a truck driver which I'm not I would say that would be a really great thing I think you're not in charge Ivor well I mean only Monday through Friday when I do the show but on weekends there I remember there being in the comments at least on YouTube a lot of people that were truck drivers that watch the show so yeah of all this and then second of all we'd love to know your opinions nice to find out that cuz I know they care about weight and everything too so I'm wondering if that like weighs down you know the truck and the weigh-in and if it makes it harder to open the bag of the truck and actually do your job but yeah Samsung working on this is perfect I mean like it Stella they get to each other to wacky things yeah I mean make the screens and everything so yeah it is it really great but I also like that it's promoting safety and I mean it the thing is if you can just make any road safer I'm I guess I'm all for that true that so tasks us a question okay so that brings us to our hashtag the day which is tDCS EE see like you're seeing something and I'm just curious like what kind of what thing if you could have anything in the world be transparent to see through doing something for work what would that be like what's the thing it doesn't have to use this type of technology which is if you could make something transparent load it be if I could like anything transparent I like the see-through refrigerators you know they have the glass you can see what's happening I like stead of opening it up and finding out but that's already done so I'm going to see say people's heads I want to see what you're thinking I know that's a very abstract thought but I just saw it inside out and I feel like I need to get to the bottom of this I like it all right that or tablets because I will I usually am like watching Game of Thrones or whatever am i transplant and I'm one of those those one of you people who hold that hold it up and I'm too busy multitasking it's it's a bad thing people but anyway I'd love to be able to see through it and see the show at the same time I would say my hands because I like sometimes you're writing something down you want to see through like to what you're actually doing or like if you're if you have if you're you can do touch typing you look through and just see the keyboard you wouldn't have to worry about like moving your hands I mean by like put your wedding ring on it would it be hard to like it would be a little bit weird project one on there they'll be fine good but yeah I would like if I'm writing down notes I tend to write notes by hand still okay if I'm breaking down like a story or something sometimes they're just kind of like fiddling with notes and little scribbles and I wouldn't mind being able to see through my hand so there you go all right so TDC so we want to know what do you want to see through buddy friend oh so basically our next story is a little one that came after e3 for some reason and it's from Sony Playstation they have a big announcement like I said not actually big they decided that post conference they're going to announce a brand new Playstation which has one terabyte of storage drive their other one has 500 megabytes of storage drive their big announcement is one terabyte they're calling it the ultimate player edition yeah 500 gigs now 500 gigs now whatever I said five hundred one terabyte now of course we know that X from Microsoft and Xbox announced that they were gonna upgrade to one terabyte they announced this at e3 right and now PlayStation says again they they conveniently skip doing it this is not the first time that like it seemed like PlayStation moves were based on retaliation yeah and response but I mean it's coming out really really soon in Europe it's gonna come out on July 15 oh yeah it's pretty soon but maybe that's enough time to turn around it is it is kind of like remodeled it's got like more matte finish up on top except the glossy one Oh God you know I would rather have that than the glossy for me the glossy is kind of annoying man I don't care it all about either of those things it just sits on my shelf and I'm not sitting there like hugging it but there you go July 15th and like other releases in us we have no idea I'm sure it'll be some round until your thumbs they're 500 megabytes is like I mean this is great what we need that extra space why didn't we do that lunch oh why don't we do backwards-compatibility at lunch no I do these things at launch guys they're trying to sell more consoles I get it yeah yeah I get people who haven't upgraded a reason upgrade which is you are you gonna upgrade would you upgrade harvey's now oh you're saying to go from my PlayStation 3 to my to a ps4 or from your xbox 360 to an Xbox one like now that these are out would um backwards-compatibility are you like thinking like well maybe look I'm gonna be straight up I'm not gonna use backwards compatibility okay like that's I mean that's great I don't think you got any peer gonna you're gonna it's gonna be a fun toy for like maybe a weekend to use backwards-compatible okay it wasn't that big of an announcement but no because it's games that sell the console not the console necessarily not for me at least I'm a PC gamer i hook it up to my TV I can play all my Steam games I'm totally fine are you gonna cheat you already have consoles I mean it's a way backwards compatibility is totally wasted on me because as soon as I got my xbox one I gave my Xbox 360 to our next-door neighbor he's like eight so I just gave it to him for Christmas he's a nice kid and then I gave him all my games so I was just like here yeah like take my xbox so you see so it's like I first of all I'm not gonna go back next door guy hey kid give us games back not gonna do that and then to like I mean yeah it's for new games like I mean I don't I don't need backwards-compatibility just like I don't need you know I like I don't need my consoles to play old games unless you know I don't mind paying for them to work like I look on Wii U like I'll buy a virtual console game it's fine it's like five bucks it's not a big deal yeah I think and distance doesn't even have a place necessarily on this article but I still think there was some sort of it was a strategic move it wasn't for us it was for Microsoft they either work something out with gamestop or they work really good they work something out with who is the other places gonna start selling used games now someone else just announced they're gonna start forgetting but even like game climbing game fly sells you use games they do the rental system I mean this is like a really big boon to those types of companies so I would imagine you're probably not wrong Amazon no Amazon sells these games yeah I don't know it's a strategic move but anyway so there you go but that's a good points good news for anybody doesn't have it and realizes that they can now get an upgraded version there's no bundle so you're not getting a game with it or a cool controller or anything it's just like here you go because the Xbox one there you go one terabyte oh there you go all right so what to everybody there's your article that brings us to our question of the day are you gonna use backwards compatibility yeah you every single day knows you can answer that question too if you alright so anyway sorry I gotta tell you about NASA this is really exciting we are as a human race heading to Europa this is a big deal nASA has been working on a kind of a pitch a concept if you will to head over to Europa which if you aren't aware we are pretty sure scientists are pretty sure that there is a liquid ocean under the the frozen surface of Europa it's one of Jupiter's moons and so one of the things that we have found here on earth is that life exists in water pretty much anywhere like even even in these super frozen old water that you find in Antarctica that is just like you know millions of years old these they have been untouched they find microbes there so they think NASA thinks that the best shot to find a simple alien life-form is gonna be on Europa so now it's moving forward it's in the development stage it's not a concept anymore it's been approved concept approved moving forward it has funding now to start development and through designing and building so they can actually start working on this spacecraft now here's what they're gonna do they're gonna send this spacecraft out to Jupiter they're not going to send it directly to Europa because there's a lot of radiation surrounding your open Jupiter throws off a lot of radiation so any any object any spacecraft it head straight to your oppa is basically gonna get shredded by radiation not a good idea and it won't last very long so they'd be able to do a very short mission and basically spend a lot of money do a very short sort of exploration slash informational trip but what they want to do is they're gonna send this spacecraft out they're gonna put it in orbit on Jupiter and then when you're OPA does clothes fly they're gonna do flybys when you're OPA gets close to Jupiter and they're gonna check out they're gonna take images they're gonna try to make a full a fully understood image of the entire surface of the of the Moon which is cool and then they also think that do you remember a while ago when they had we have this story about Hubble telescope taking a picture of him we saw these what looked like water spouts like really big water spouts coming from the surface well they said if that's the case this would be miles and miles high and they would fly the spacecraft through those water spouts and be able to kind of test to see if there are in fact markers for potential life so they're not testing for life specifically but they're testing to see if Europa could in fact Harbor life living organisms so this is really exciting I am just I'm always I'm always super thrilled when NASA gets a new project going so and this is a really really exciting one I think for a lot of people not only at NASA but who follow kind of the space program because this really is this is a really good shot of finding life yeah man that's all we need is one little shred to say that life could exist out there Wow that shakes up the whole planet we're gonna shake it up like a snow globe but yeah that's crazy how long does it take for the satellite to go around Jupiter because Jupiter's a probably a really long time and eight but they were saying that they would be able to use Europa's gravitational pull to sort of figure out exactly when the best times of be and how fast it would be moving like oh I mean it's all kind of is this gonna be one of the my kids are gonna like no this baby I'm gonna be dead it might be no no I don't think you'll be dead I think this will be this will happen maybe in the next like I think they actually had a time frame on NASA's website I'm sorry NASA because I'm forgetting it off top of my head but yam is totally my bad but but I want to say like at 20 like was in like 20 years so you'll still be alive like this is a that's gonna happen but it take it's gonna take a lot of time to get that spacecraft out there one and then beyond that like to get those images and data back it's gonna take take some time so for sure it's in the future it's it's a ways in the future but but it hopefully will happen at some point which is really I just think it's exciting so fun yeah that's pretty cool well not note we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back with a back of her Hackett that you don't want to miss it's it's just there they want revolutionize audio the way GoPro did video so pretty cool radical but before we go on break check out this old man in his cat on a motorcycle welcome back to the show we've returned it's Monday we're finally back from e3 I felt like we were there for so long that's still there I think maybe this is a virtual reality space we're still in the Morpheus still in the Morpheus guys but for now it's time for back interactive all right what so we're gonna revolutionise inks they're gonna revolutionize audio recording the way that GoPro did video are you ready for this yes all right so this is called instant mic and it's not like an instant Michael like you just suddenly a person named Mike shows up ready not not the case uh this is a really tiny little device look how small this is that records high quality audio and they're saying you can literally attach it to like yeah the inside for drought-like like places you would not be able to normally record high quality audio one of the ones that I thought was really interesting was they literally attached it to a guitar amp so you would imagine that would be completely distorted blown out not so like this actually records really good audio so impressive and they're attached to a drum kit that I mean they'll yeah they're like this is a great way to get all kinds of sound effects sounds just everything is it records in 48 kilohertz 24-bit audio there are two different models there's a go model and that go model is splash proof so you can take it out in the rain and stuff you don't have to worry about it there's the size right there it's like an inch by an inch and a half it's very very little there are mount quick mounts so they have velcro tape and magnet quick mount so you can like pop it onto a car if you want put it next to the exhaust film Fast and the Furious eight they could do that if they wanted to which is pretty cool you control it through an app that's on your phone it's bluetooth 4.0 and they have a pro model that is actually waterproof you can take it up to five feet underwater which is pretty cool and it also does stereo recording the pro version so that the the go version just records I think it's like mono and then dual channel dual channel so it can record up to four hours of audio and wanted about $50,000 on IndieGoGo and they already have over $100,000 so a lot of people are really excited about this they're terribly I want to back the crap out of this I knew you would like this because you could take it to caught you want a lot of concerts and whistling glad you saw exactly where I was going in it now I can pretty much rip the music from a concert just put it on and I can listen to it if I go and basically steal from the artist no no but you're gonna be hearing all the people cheering around you too that's the best part of listening to a concert personal mix of the show and then they have like a wristband where you can like wear it and like not have to worry about it in your hand you off like hold it so yeah it's like 99 bucks - it's the same price as like a zoom h1 which is one of its I would imagine it's direct competitors and then I think the pro is 129 but I think they said that price would go up like once the IndieGoGo is over no not bad for something waterproof that you can literally throw into a pool I mean so I would I still would need to hear the quality of each of these things I like I trust that it's better but I want to know like how much better how much worse I'm sure it's fine I'm sure they figured that out but I'd love to like go around and test it so send it to seen it yeah so the zoom h1 I was looking at the chart the zoom h1 records in 96 kilohertz and then this records in 48 so it is a little higher quality on the zoom h1 but then it also can't do a lot of the things that you can do with this so you can't like attach it to a car it doesn't have these little quick mounts it's not as it's not nearly as invisible like the zoom h1 is like this tall it's like this thin so yeah it's literally like a little microphone that you would hold but this you would be able to attach to like inside somebody's collar or you know there's all kinds of ways that you can do this I see a lot of espionage applications people tape it to their chest and they didn't get information from people Logan what do you think about using this at a concert are you fair enough yes use a film producer life is this fun he likes to produce the produce somebody oh that's yeah so it's yeah 900 bucks gets you a go and then 129 gets you so I thought that was really cool so nice work insta Mike but yeah they're really they're really into they want to revolutionize audio the way that GoPro doing video that's what they keep saying very cool yeah look at my work okay guys it's time now for your user feedback okay so user feedback we didn't give you guys any hashtags last week yeah so sorry about that take that but what we did do was I wandered over to our e3 and virtual reality our 360 experience that seanut put up on YouTube okay and we pulled some of the comments from there to make us just feel really good about ourselves because everybody seemed to like it a lot which is pretty cool so here's here's the experience if you haven't seen it yet it's really fun if you have it if you pull it up on your phone you actually can move your phone around as if you're looking around into space which is pretty neat it's a little bit more counterintuitive on a desktop where you have to like click and drag to like move the camera around but it's really fun on a smart phone so I'd we highly recommend that you check it out okay so let's get into our user feedback first one is from Casey Casey says I really hope this catches on and he got five thumbs up take those to the bank Casey take those thumbs ups right to the bank Danny CD 17 said why is Kalon seanut yeah good question it's a really good question I mean I know your heck it's you're so new I have no idea he's never ever been myself that every single morning thank you Oh ultimate ruffles wrote in and said I was watching this on iPad and thought it didn't work until I picked up my iPad and I could look around stop ruffles hey ultimate ruffles not not regular rumbles ultimate good to see you well live stream later um by the way that guy said khalil not kale he said Kaleo yeah a lot of people ask about khalil and I'm not sure that is fair enough that's more a name than my name is so you're you you win this round like to say friend and then lastly every second wrote in and said okay this is awesome not true every second I gotta cool if you didn't get a chance to check it out you really should there's been a lot of positivity around it because it should have been done a long time ago but now that now that YouTube is allowing 360 and 3d stereoscopic you can now create videos like that yeah and thankfully CNET was was hopped on board with that almost immediately and ultimately like one of the first to do it yeah not even trying to brag for them I've just been looking for this type of content I remember I pitched it to them a while back so yeah that's like easily accessible I think is the big thing where you're saying like Google is finally offering us on YouTube like you don't need you you can download the IM 360 app to view the content but now you can just literally go to the YouTube video and it will automatically load as a 360 video for if your phone has a gyroscope in it oh yeah show it to people at bars like I did yeah they're like they're like whoa this is amazing because they're holding the phone and they're drunk yeah so yeah thank you everybody for all of your very nice comments this will mark the first and likely last show where we do 100% YouTube comments for the for the user feedback which is a bummer which is a bummer and also the best so that being said let's hit our very last piece of user feedback which is our phone timer for the day okay so Rollo wrote in our good friend Rollo who's I think we've had a phone he's been on photographer the day before he said tomorrow daily I visited my sister and went road-tripping to see the sunrise at Halle kala Haleakala summit in Maui Hawaii I did not expect to have below freezing temperature in Maui are you kidding me the sunrise there was spectacularly gorgeous and a capture the moment I've set my note 3 in HDR mode and have my sister be my human tripod i composed and framed it for her what I wanted to capture I told her not to move the phone then I immediately ran on top of lava rock imposed go shoot it the picture turned out an epic shot once again I love her show you're avid fan Rollo the role of a sister took this picture but he was the mastermind behind the framing of it and it's amazing that is a really good picture that might be one of our best pictures that we've had and I might be I mean it's not because of composure and color I know you did HDR which I mean could be like hax but still it I'll take it as long as you're using it correctly it's a lot of the best so amazing and I like that he gave us credit to his sister for being a human tripod well done well done Rollo sister high-fives but yeah so so good I saw this in our inbox I was just like oh man like you get to you get a fast pass to the front of the lines and we have a huge like bay of phone tag refers that I have like lined up and I was just like oh we got to get this one on like right away which is pretty cool so um so yeah thanks Rollo if you want to submit your photogra fee or a story idea you can email us tomorrow cnet.com you can find us on tomorrow daily comms I'm gonna share the show with a friend and of course you can always find us online yeah on our personal accounts at kill anonymous yeah we're on
