fantasy sports is a billion dollar business. yahoo's back up to bat against a bunch of very skilled rookies. why your car dealer has something to fear. and meet a robot for the home. sarah fryer from bloomberg and quinton hardy of the "new york times" this week on "press: here." good morning. i'm scott mcgrew.

you know siri apple's virtual assistant. amazon has something called lexus. facebook is sap parentally working on moneypenny. great name. now meet jibo. >> say hi jibo. jibo helps everyone out throughout their day. he's the world's best camera man. by intelligently track around him, he can take photos so you can put down your camera and be a part of the scene. >> take the picture. >> he's a hands-free helper. you can talk to him and he'll talk to you back so you don't have to skip a beat. >> melissa just sent a reminder that she's picking you up in half an hour to go grocery shopping. >> thanks. >> steve chambers is the ceo of the company that will make jibo

which they call a family robot. steve has a long history of disembodied voices. >> sarah fryer of bloomberg, i look at this thing and it's actually the robotics not the intelligence that draws me to it. it's the animated body that really makes me think, oh this is something i'd like in my house. but really the hard part is the voice and the interpretation of what i'm saying to him. >> right. a lot of the hard part is the voice, the recognition, understanding what you say and providing you information in response. that motion, though, that's very intentional. jibo has his own line of action which is an animator term for a particular organism. like a cat has a line of action a girraf has a line of action. completely silent so it never breaks the character bond.

and have organic. >> see how we say "he is," relating to this machine like a person. i take it this was a big design feature. it's a smart camera. we don't refer to computers and cameras as he and she. what is the crossover point that makes snag we embody, that we grant a personality too? >> i think it's roughly three things. the first is we aim to create a bond and companionship. and i think the first aspect of that is recognition. he understands who you are. he has a facial point of view and he matches that every time you come in the room and a voiceprint. that's really important because your technology recognizing you before you interact, gives the second level of how we create that emotional rapport. if jibo tells me the weather in the morning, and then you come

back in the afternoon and he says, oh steve, by the way, this morning i told you it was going to rain but the forecast has changed. it's now going to be sunny. >> that's something that you phone can't do. but the phone can do the pictures, the recipes. what is the customer base for jibo? who's going to buy this? >> our target is somebody called the family conductor. most often it is a deoh my god fee -- demography. jibo puts his or her name in the story, takes a picture of a funny face puts it in the story. says something like go find a bumpy object. and then pieces it together. so a child is actually hearing

his voice, his giggle seeing faces, eyes on moneykeys and trees. my mom is 83. she's no new york. i'm in boston. i want to know things that jibo will let me know about. like if she knows he will let me see her in the morning. i'll take comfort in that. oez easy, simple way for her to video me. hands free voice only with that persian nalt personality. >> how quickly do they start referring to it or walk into the room and talking to it? how long does that take? >> immediate. as a matter of fact we're trying to make it so when you buy a jibo you have the option as a consumer to prepopulate a until information. you could show him your picture

so when he activates on your network at home we download a custom piece of technology where he might say, hi, quinton when he wakes up. >> why not she? siri is a she. jibo is a he. is is there a particular reason for that? >> there's a lot of studies done on gender and persona. we really thought like a young male preadolescent. >> it's like a little disney character he. >> right. it's meant to be kind of preadolescent, highly inquisitive, highly insear lyly sincere. it could have been a she. we just gravitated toward consumer reactions toward that kind of voice. >> this is the thing that's going to be watching their kids and telling them who texts them and seeing when they go to sleep. how do you draw that line

between what's like quinton said creepy. >> it's a huge issue. first of all, we'll talk about the privacy in a second. but why it's non-creepy. why he's engaging and makes you want to engage and call him he. it's nonhumanoid. there's one screen kind of eyeball that morphs into different shapes. it's a very welcoming nonthreatening shape. there is no apenpend ageappendages. that was really -- >> people must really want to feel like something of theirs is out in the world. but while that's great and it probably encourages people to interact did you ever have any ethical question about do we

want people treating machines like people? >> not in the way you're asking. i think we have precepts of his character. and one of them basically is jibo is always for your betterment. he's never mean. he's not namby, pamby. he's got a personality and a sense of humor. but we were very consistent about creating a level of trust in his personality. >> it wouldn't be the first time people made slightly inanimate objects into characters. >> how do you make him not annoy annoying? >> the annoyance factor is huge for us. we don't want him to be cloi g lrkcloying. >> when you say something and he

got it right, you won't hear him say, "got it," again and again. >> let's come back to the privacy issue. i want to take a slightly different take on that. people got upset that their smart tvs were sending their voices out to the ether. there was a barbie that sent the child's voice out. i always thought what a stupid thing to get upset about. it's just going out to a computer. siri sends your voice out to the cloud to interpret and come back. >> there's a little more on the unit voice recognition activity versus always going out to a server and someone else's location. it isn't quite the same. there is a little more inherent privacy in this approach. but your point is really well taken, it's a concern. >> again, there isn't some guy with headphones. it's a computer somewhere.

some sort of data process and nothing more than that right? >> yeah. >> and i'm sure you're tempted to gather in data and offer them fabulous advertisements on jibo as well. >> no advertisements. we completely break the relationship -- it would completely break the relationship and the companionship and the trust. how does the trust happen? part of that is how do you not violate. how do you advance the relationship. no advertisements. always permission based. there are a number of privacy features to let you know what he is doing and when he's doing it comfort features. >> when does the jibo come to a store near us? >> it's going to be the first quarter of next year calendar 2016. >> we wish you the best of luck. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. up next the least qualified reporters ask questions about

fantasy sports. stick around for us to continue.

. welcome back to "press: here." when 56 million americans are doing something and you're not, well that tends to get your attention. participating in fantasy sports leagues. they create fictional teams made up of real life players and

compete with their friends for bragging rights and money. the appetite for this has created billion dollar companies like draftkings. ken fuchs runs yahoo sports and he's here to educate us. the league was one of the funniest tv shows on tv about how fantasy sports and primarily men are deeply into this. one of the new developments is people aren't playing an entire season. they're actually just playing a single day worth of sports and winning money on that right? >> yeah. mediate gratification. the ability to talk smack to your friends. >> ten games a day will do that. i pick my piptcher and my catcher and my first baseman.

somehow the computer calculates what they would have done if they'd all played together based on how they played that day. >> it's like picking a realtime. you have a salary cap, a couple hundred dollars to play with. players are priced based on their performance and conditions. your job is to look at the field of players and competition for that day or that week and pick a team based on the price, the amount of money you have and the price of those players. and then how they perform, those are the points you get that night. >> okay. >> and you compete within these contests. >> make it 56 million and one. sell me on the kick i get out of doing this. is this because i'm a fan? is this because i understand baseball better than anyone else? >> i think it's mults foldifold. if you're a sports fan, it's something about trying the figure out what's going to happen, get into the games, to see how well are you doing, how

well are they scoring. there's a little bit of egoin it. sports is all about competition. when you play with your friends, who is going on the who. and finally the opportunity to win cash and prizes. that's certainly a motivator as well. i think when you put the cash aspect with the social aspect with the fact that it's a daily passion around something like sports, you have 56 million and one people that really want to play it. absolutely. >> yeah. i mean for yahoo this is about money. we talked about prizes and betting. can you put this in context with yahoo's overall business and way they need this right now? >> we're incredibly excited. we don't break out products but when you look at the ramp for this business first of all we have tens of millions that play fantasy sports on yahoo already. that's like 57,000 years -- >> you've add add product recently that had an element to

gambling. >> we've already had a product for 16 years that has that much engagement. you have projections that by 2020 they will be $18 billion of daily contest entry fees. last year there were $10 billion spent on box office. so think about how big that ramp is over the next few years. think about the fact that yahoo is already a leader. think about the fact that we know this is something our users want and we're really good at fantasy sports. >> quentin said gambling. it's tech necknically not because it is a skill-based game. it's an interesting sort of pivot. it's nothing but skilled because you can't bet on my baseball team because my baseball team doesn't exist in real life is

what allows you to do this. >> it really is. you have to understand advanced statistics. you have to understand what's playing who, how does that player typically perform against this pitcher. >> this sounds like it lends itself to baseball. baseball loves its statistics. what sports wouldn't work? what sport would you say we are never going to have fantasy bowling? . >> if you have passionate fans and i have statistics, you have an opportunity for this. clearly nfl, baseball and so forth. >> yahoo was doing fantasy sports. all of a sudden draftkings is the big one. i didn't know this. fandual, these guys came out of nowhere. i've heard of these. yahoo had this thing to itself. did you miss a spot?

or just this was the natural evolution of other companies? >> this is the perfect evolution at the perfect time. you mentioned the 56 million people that play and one, hopefully and three. but 84 of those people play season long leagues which yahoo has. only 25% of those people play daily fantasy sports. so you have this bridge to how do you get the mass sports fan playing daily. and yahoo is that bridge. you give them an extra capability to have a little more competition every week a little more fun with their friend. it's a very social experience. >> is this something americans do? or can you see taking this to world cup soccer or cricket or -- >> i think there's absolutely international opportunity. i think it comes down to sports as a passion point for fans. they know the players, they know the stats. you give them a chance to

compete around their knowledge, it's something that is universal. >> something a little bit guilty about people spending all their time on this daily? >> no. >> i can name three people in their newsroom. there is huge lost manpower on it. ken fuchs of yahoo thank you.

. i drive a ford fusion energy. it's a great car. hybrid. electric motor. i got it the old fashioned way at the dealer. but recently i looked into getting a new one, so i used a service called roadster. you tell them what you want and they get back to you a specific price via e-mail. and if you accept they bring you the car. i didn't end up buying one, but this come did. she got her car in san carlos. they deliver it right to you. hand over the keys hook up the phone to the bluetooth and drive away in your trade-in. he used to be with ebay motors as an executive there. where do the cars come from? are you getting them from dealers or are you yourself a

dealer? >> we are darrell. we are a licensed dealer because we're also a broker. but we get all of our cars from dealerships in the area. >> so how are you possibly saving me money from what i could have done if i went to the dealer if you got the car from the dealer? >> we're working with multiple dealers. we know where the market is. we're typically working with the fleet department. and the people that work in the fleet department are interested in selling a large volume of cars so that the dealership can hit its volume targets. >> you've got a lot of pricing muscle. >> you know the part i don't get is i tell you the car i want. how many people know what kind of car they want anyway? i go out and shop and look at a lot of cars. are they sort of going to all the deal everyerships -- >> that's right. we encourage people to test drive cars at the darrell ship. >> if you have all these dealers -- my aunt just bought a

car and she made a spreadsheet of all the different things. it's a lot of work. why would they give you that data? >> the dealerships want to sell cars. we're bringing them a qualified buyer that they don't need to spend hours and hours of sales time with which is a cost of a deal irership dealership. in order to hit their targets they want buyers. and we bring them the most qualified buyers possible. >> dealers are sort of moving upstream. they're like a middleman between the factory and you. >> for some percentage of sales that's true. and there's still the old fashioned way. that's fine too. >> people are already doing 99.9% of the car stuff online anyway. they're looking at consumer reports and watching videos on youtube. and probably dealing with their bank, hey, can i afford this car. online it's that one-tenth of 1% going into a car dealership that

everyone dislikes so much. you take that part away. can you do enough volume that you can become something that people will say, oh i'll just do it that way? i mean people have heard about it, you know. >> sure. maybe ten years ago people would go visit five dealerships during the process. now the average is 1.5. everything is being done online up until that transaction point. >> right. >> and we solve the whole rest of that puzzle. and it's significant. the average person spends 12 to 18 hours in that process. much of that is spent at the darrell ship dealership. it's not fun. >> gets back to that saturn point. we'll just give you a single price so you don't feel ripped off. >> i'm continually surprised when that doesn't work. people say i don't understand what the price is. there's the monthly, there's the this and that . >> probably getting ripped off. >> just tell me what the darn car costs.

which is what you're doing. >> calculate what had the savings are for someone? >> the afternoon saveverage savings is roughly $3,000 off msrp. every car is different. cars in heavy demand and low supply you're going to pay closer to msrp. that's rare. a lot of toyotas are much much cheaper. that varies but on average that's about it off msrp . >> at the dealership is there something they would be concerned about competition from you, or because you're getting them from the dealer they will always be thrilled? and why can't you just become a darrell? >> well in order to be a franchise dealer there's a lot that goes into this. >> this is what tezsla has run against in some states. you've got to have a showroom and salesman. >> i'm just saying why can't you

get them directly from detroit. >> you can't do that. we would have to become a franchise dealership and there's a lot that goes into that as well. >> and for so many different car makers too. >> that's right. >> you'd have to be a darrellealership for every single possible option. >> we're happy to talk to you and work you through some of the options. typically people are down to one, two or three cars and they have a few questions. then we move forward go into getting them a car. and it can show up in 24 or 48 hours. >> what's the most popular car? >> we get a lot of priuses out in the bay area. range rovers are still in high demand. >> let me conclude this interview with one compliment. that is a really did without telling them i was a reporter went through the process of buying or at least looking into buying that car. he sent me a very reasonable bid. it was competitive with the

dealership. but the best thing that happened was when i didn't buy the car, he's never bothered me ever again. >> wow. >> i know. >> what an experience. >> that's exactly right. so in that sense it was a very pleasureable experience. "press: here" will be back in just a minute.
