i was very lucky in that, the brenners are a family of letter writers. everyone had a typewriter in the era before computers and bang away at typewriters in the middle of the night as children and my father and mother, long, long letters. anita brenner turned out to be the same kind of obsessive letter-writer pack right. all of her letters were in the university of texas, the great archives of the world. i was able to go on a traumatic day and see she had neatly kept hundreds of letters that my father and family wrote to each other in the 20s. i saw patterns, the anger that had gone on 60 years before i was on the planet that became stamped on us.

and that's happened a few times, i guess, they said. >> unfortunately, it is the old brenner's voiceest world." is the car communicating wirelessly with some kind of central database, or is it self-contained? is all the information it needs in the car? >> google hasn't officially disclosed any of that, but they did say the key to all this is kind of using their servers, and i assume those aren't hidden in the trunk somewhere, so it's probably communicating wirelessly with this thing. >> and in a world where self-driving cars might be mass produced, could this be as great as google makes it out to be? is there any driver in america particularly today who doesn't want to drive the car and experience the near-death thrill every three hours? >> google's kind of been playing this off saying, well, they can do little things like cut the number of fatalities on the road in half and decrease energy consumption and save people like up to an hour a day for the average commuter. so, you know, they're playing this -- they're playing this the right way. it can do all these great things. >> and ho

let's talk about it with scott brenner, a former chief spokesman for the faa.s passed this program that co-pilots would have to have 1500 hours training experience before they could get airline jobs, right? is. >> right. jon: sounds like a good idea. what's wrong with it? >> well, i think it's a problem of quantity versus quality, jon. i think the intention was good, you know, how do you improve the qualifications of co-pilots coming in where priestly they could -- previously they could come in with about 250 hours experience. you probably want more than that. but i think by going to the extreme level of 1500, jon, you're a pilot, you understand this. if i'm out just towing a banner up and down the beach or doing a crop duster, those are very different kind of hours if i'm in a simulator or a variety of situations such as, you know, high, you know, temperatures, you have cloudy situations, something where there's storm-impacted. i think that's more important than just having the 1500 hours. jon: right. so my 1500 hours flying around in a single-engine cessna li

our number one story, nobody remembers the old brenner movie where the machines started killing peopleor the ones that kept blowing up. the google car is here. one of them, appearing just over that mirror, it's the dark car with the thing on the roof. a laser range finder that spins and scans the terrain in all directions. the car also has radar sensors and a video camera plus artificial intelligence software to make split-second decisions, because there's nobody driving it. there is a human behind the wheel to take control whenever necessary. google revealed that it has been secretly test driving seven of these cars, six priuses and an audi fully loaded that driven 1,000 miles with no human intervention, 140 miles with only occasional human control. only one accident, when one of the google cars was rear-ended by one of those old-school rides, probably with a yahoo! user in the back. turns out that the google car was videotaped nearly a year ago on the 280 between san francisco and palo alto, but the videoing offer thought it had something to do with wind power. good guess, buster. bu
