President Barack Obama on How We'll Embrace Self-Driving Cars | WIRED

[@georgejaparidze]

Wow, just wow. This interview will go into the history. I'm amazed how philosophically and wisely deep Obama is in these topics.

[@bagrisham]

It was interesting to see President Obama eloquently wrap up why the flaws in the system can show new possibilities. I wasn't old enough to vote for him, but it has certainly been interesting seeing him evolve in his presidency. Good video.

[@squamish4244]

Ten people from my hometown in their late teens and early 20s were killed in car crashes in one year when I was younger. This could put a stop to that carnage, everywhere.

[@colinsilver1041]

I'm gonna miss you guy. I'm really gonna miss you. He actually bothered to contemplate computer science during his breaks of foreign and domestic policy. I'm impressed. Wonder what he's currently reading these days.

[@MindfulProgramming]

probably The War on Normal People

[@CoupedUpGenny]

Anyone else enjoy this chill vibe on important topics with people whom are well spoken

[@DwardSe7en]

Likely the most intimate Obama interview, I feel like I were there..

[@RosscoAW]

Wow! As an autistic person (neurodiversity advocate) I am very impressed with the reference to neurodiversity by both parties! And the reflection made to cognitive typicallity is very much in the vein of my own interest in AI/AGI, as someone with an interest in cognitive neuropsychology (to say the least). Fantastic!

[@Corvin666]

I like how this man thinks about complex issues. He should be president! wait...

[@sparkpaul]

We were lucky to have you President Obama!

[@bmon9682]

1 week later TESLA announces fully autonomous hardware for its whole fleet...

[@IAM2QUIK]

i love elon. I wanna go to mars too

[@flamebreakk]

No, I LOVE ELON

[@homeofthemad3044]

What is wrong with you guys?

[@jeffjeffrey4956]

Obama's the kind of person I could actually enjoy having a conversation with for hours. He's really perceptive and thoughtful.

[@mattnepute3225]

The amount of discussion around the self-driving car moral dilemma question is absurd. Very, very rarely will situations arise where a car has to decide between the lives of two people. Most accidents and potential accidents don't play out that way, especially with a computer's response time, where it can either avoid anyone getting hurt or it's far too late to act anyway.

[@derks0]

this guys great x) gonna miss him

[@AuthorityCat]

I'd like to see cars eventually be like trains, requiring a "conductor". You'd still be required to know how to operate the vehicle and be sitting behind the wheel. Technical malfunctions will always happen, so a manual option has to be there, at least in the beginning. As AI advances, who knows what will happen. It's a lot for us to take in and compute right now. Basically, gotta slow down technology so that we have a chance to dig it into our minds, at least in a situation like this.

[@Spike.SpiegeI]

watching this on election day and it's sad to see him on his way out. I wonder what he might have accomplished if Congress would have at least worked with him to the extent it had with other presidents from the opposite party in the past. His approval rating being so high right now shows that a majority feel the same way. He would easily win if he were allowed to run for a 3rd term. A good man and in a lot of ways a wasted presidency...

[@key0512]

Obama talks clearly and slow. First I have seen the automatic English subtitles working basically perfectly when he says something.

[@doodelay]

he's so intelligent and genuinely interested in science and technology. I highly doubt that Hillary Clinton is philosophically and technologically mindful enough to match his judgment on these issues. it just seems like she'd fail to even take these technologies seriously

[@teganbigone2366]

You cannot be all things to all men. Expecting ANY human to be a flawless president is absurd.

[@teganbigone2366]

And despite what she has done, it doesn't hold a candle to the horrors that Fascist Trump has threatened against the Constitution and the Rights of the People of the United States. Hillary has screwed up on things that are repairable - but what Trump desires to do will result in the destruction of our Constitutional Republic, the end of Free Speech and Expression and the Press, and the institution of a psychotic Inquisitional Theocratic dictatorship!

[@doodelay]

Tegan Bigone​ I didn't say I expected anyone to be flawless. I said that her matching Obama's judgment appears to be unlikely. Don't over exaggerate what people say.

[@teganbigone2366]

doodelay I'll do as I like, thanks.

[@stevemilwa]

I bet she would have done better than trump lol,,, It's all gonna be greaatt... science? Great.

[@flamebreakk]

God damn you all boo'd him but Obama is an EXTREMELY smart human. He borders on Elon Musk

[@sergyag1999]

Raptor and Lana Elon is way more intelligent than mr obama

[@TheMusterionOfRock]

They are good with different things. Elon is a creator and Obama is intelligent with human interaction.

[@carsonb4725]

Most eccentric president we have had. Regardless of his accomplishments or failures, his voice and the way he speaks is so smooth and easy to listen too.

[@koroshiya5758]

Eccentric??

[@teckyify]

Do you know what this word means?

[@jamespiccola2965]

because he was givin the mouth of a lion or shall I say dragon!

[@vincentjohansson5282]

can't imagine trump talking like this if he becomes the next president

[@thorableinu]

No, he just predicts things like the Brussels attacks, and then people get "offended" by the reality of what he saw. Just look at the fixation on tmz grade news when wikileaks is giving us gold. This is Obama's america where the news media has become orwellian in its establishment narrative pushing, so lets not give him so much credit.

[@flamebreakk]

He is just a simplistic troll. Don't get Angreh, Kittunz!

[@ChowmutLe]

YES! I was watching this entire series, and I was trying to envision trump in these scenerios and how he would contribute to it, aside from saying things like "we're going to build the best technology and it's going to be such good technology"

[@vonPlosc]

Well..... (first HY from the future), now you know.

[@omstudy9136]

he will be like " It is amazing , we are going to see something we have never seen before . Technology with beauty , it is going to be fantastic and we will see what happens"

[@nordmannordmann]

The second he opens his mouth it is already obvious that he is way smarter than Donald.

[@alikhoobiary6595]

I'm trying to imagine trump saying these words and it genuinely makes me giggle.

[@cpainesail]

Love what they were saying at the end. It's basic human diversity which keeps us alive, like evolutionary changes in species. Without them you stay dormant in an ever changing world.

[@philomath3238]

Andrew Yang is the only one in America now talking about this, and providing fresh perspectives and proposals. KZbin Andrew Yang! The worthy successor for Obama!

[@luclongly529]

The G.O.A.T.!🐐

[@Chase0The0Bass]

Scott Dadich 100% looks like an Agent from the Matrix. He did a great job in this interview though. Also I can't help but think how much I am going to miss Obama considering his successor. Just try to imagine the responses that President Trump would be giving in these videos.

[@SuperEdem22]

imagine president (God forbid) Trump in this conversation.

[@CyberiusT]

Are you guys sure you wouldn't rather just let him have a third term? It *has* happened before.

[@ezra-keto]

yeah​, but it is not legal anymore

[@CyberiusT]

I know it's not for consecutive terms, but isn't he allowed to go again after a break? (I'm not an American)

[@SailorBarsoom]

'Fraid not. The only way a person can be president for more than two terms is to be vice-president, something happens to the president so the veep becomes prez, then the new prez can run for re-election, twice. And even that doesn't give three full terms. It used to be that a president could run for re-election as many times as he cared to and could get the party behind him, which is what happened with FDR. But the Constitution was amended to keep that from happening ever again.

[@dannymac2418]

i cant believe people called him the antichrist like it was even real

[@jamespiccola2965]

because he is the Antichrist

[@NikoKun]

I wouldn't worry about the moral-question, as it's a non-issue.. These self-driving computers will make decisions so much faster and earlier than we ever could, they'll always come to a better outcome than we could have. They'll avoid most the accidents people propose as moral questions, by simply driving well enough to avoid them all together. Dead-end accidents only happen if you don't give yourself enough time to avoid them, and these cars always do. Oh and half-unrelated, but.. forget about the coal-jobs, as those probably aren't coming back thanks to cheaper better technologies in alternatives.. And this is a good question for Trump supporters: How do we deal with the 3.5 million truck drivers, who's jobs will be increasingly at risk over the next 10 years? There's actually a few more million, in industries that support truck drivers too. We're talking job loss on a scale never seen before, and these politicians aren't preparing for it at all.

[@bridgettemaltby1034]

[@iLOLZU42]

Tell me what you think of this: Electric Vehicles + Transport Trucks = ?

[@homeofthemad3044]

Unemployment

[@TraderTimmy]

I think it's happening already. I also, think we should be thinking about retraining our drivers so they don't get surprised when they can't find a job.

[@homeofthemad3044]

Tim King What? How can you train someone for unemployment?

[@TraderTimmy]

Home of the Mad Train people for new jobs. As far as people who can not be retrained, ultimately we will have to provide them with a guaranteed income. Enough to enjoy a stable healthy life. That's not a perfect solution, but it can work. It's certainly a lot better than condemning people to homelessness without hope. What would you do if you were a 45 year old guy, you had no new skills for a job, but you got enough money to rent a place and pay for food. I know what I'd do. I'd spend my days trying to get the skills needed to do some kind of work. Or maybe I'd try to start my own business. And the way it works is, everybody gets the same guaranteed income. Working or not. So nobody can complain about the other guy. Basically, everybody has more money to spend or use for living.

[@homeofthemad3044]

Tim King Or how about this, instead of giving people money for free (putting strain on the government's budget) we just let people continue to work?

[@JackRyan-tg5jj]

The government decides someone is a problem, bam auto "accident".

[@Hauuy-el1vv]

Y u spam sub box :(

[@iLOLZU42]

Because its the president.

[@teganbigone2366]

...and commands respect, regardless of your personal biases against the man.

[@paulunga]

Oh man... and this guy was replaced by Trump? 2020 can't come soon enough.

[@ro734]

Hey, there are no comments yet, wait this is a comment

[@KrisKitchen]

If government want to get involved they better start investing now.

[@teganbigone2366]

No, we should not allow or even suggest the government should force such a horror on Free People.

[@flamebreakk]

I know right?! Could you imagine if cars drove themselves???! The HORROR!

[@teganbigone2366]

Raptor and Lana They can't even prevent our computers from being hacked - not even banks and the government can protect their own computers - and you want to put families in HACKABLE computer controlled 70+mph torpedoes? SCREW THAT! Did you ever see the movie MINORITY REPORT (which the car companies stole the idea from)? Maybe you should see that before you surrender your transportation rights.
