car... when these lights turn yellow, you can get this replaced. it costs 300 or 400 bucks. then when i give them a number that's lower than what they originally thought it was gonna be, their expectations are probably more in line. they're less surprised, and they feel like you're hiding less. i would rather ask these questions with them. make sense? >> i like that. i like that approach. >> you too? last year, car cash generated over $13 million in revenue. that's $13,500 per car, since they bought 960 cars. if jon followed my process and took the customer through the appraisal process, he would be able to buy cars for 5% or 10% lower than he's paying today. that's about $1,000 a car. $960,000 a year, without buying one more car. when you leave somebody in the office, the level of anxiety that's happening, as you sit there, as the minutes tick--oh, god. then you come back with the number? it seems like you set me up. >> i don't agree. >> look, jon and andrew are great guys, and this is a gr

autonomous car are not driver cars. you are still in the car. you are in command, but we are giving you more power on your car. you can give up command whenever you want. you can take back command whenever you want but at the same time, we are building more connectivity in the car in order for if you want time for you, you can do things which are pleasant and useful. video conferencing, other things that are being very useful. >> is it useful that you and other car makes makers and google are going on your own, in your own direction? >> there is a lot of collaboration, ali. there is a lot of collaboration even though everybody else wants to defend their interest. >> right. >> there is a lot of collaboration, benchmarking, ex change. i don't think google is looking for the same thing as the car manufacturers but in a certain way, we are all going in to the same direction. we know that the cars of the futures are going to be giving you much more control, giving you much more autonomy, much more connected because this is a command from the consumer

why do we not make cars safer? >> how did you invent the car?> first of all, i didn't invent the car, i had a fantastic team of people. it started out with a fantastic challenge that the u.s. government defined. in 2005. the darpa challenge. they said at the time that whoever could build a car that could drive itself from los angeles to las vegas would win a million dollars. about a handful of students and i built a car that would drive the course. >> and you did. >> this has to be slightly faster than anybody else. which gave us the first prize. >> i think that is called winning. i rode in the self driving car about four years ago. >> you remember. >> how far has it come since then? >> at this point, i concomitantly tell you it drives better than me. if you were to drive with me, then you would beg me for the car to take over because it keeps the lane much better, it brakes more gently. it anticipates things much faster than i can. >> would you drive in a self driving car with your family across the country? >> i have done this many times. i ha

the car would not know that there are five people in the other car.t thinks of the environment as moving objects are to be avoided. we have situations where i was leading the team and the car had to face the couch and it was hard for it to drive around. now we have programmed the right evasion behavior in. >> what if it is not a couch, if it is a human being. doesn't know the difference between things and people? >> it knows about pedestrians, cars. it knows different categories. >> now, there is a different iteration of the car that you and i drove in which is a car that does not even have the steering wheel. how is that car doing? >> this is the most audacious step forward and this was traded -- created after sergey brin took over google x. and the idea here is that we have a car that drives in the city and provides transportation services, like a taxi without a driver. it is making enormous progress. i hope in the next two years you will see this. >> to what extent was that car a pivot from your car? >> it was a pivot. i was more interested in high

it was a car that was -- it was a good starter car, it was a good car for the fiscally conservative, it was a car that by standards of this day was certainly no less reliable than any other car on the road. by today's standards, of course, the old chevys were complete disasters liability wise. but every car on the road was. and when's the last time you saw a car on the side of the road overheating? it just doesn't happen anymore, and that used to be a daily thing you saw everywhere. >> [inaudible] >> go the microphone, please. go to the microphone. there's a mic -- >> oh. well, why don't we -- >> we're on tv. >> or i can repeat the questions for those -- [inaudible] [laughter] >> the mere existence of the term "a chevy guy" really answers your question. i mean, there were ford guys, there were chevy guys, you know? there's people that say friends don't let friends drive fords. you know, it's just a basic part of culture. and i don't think that if you look at the '57 chevy, you certainly can't say that it's bland. >> no, you can't. >> or the '59 especially. >> certainly not bland. you

own cars will be able to use car sharing.s going to change the calculus of driving. right now most people if they own a car, the cost of taking a trip in a car is the marginal or their very low cost, which is only about a third of the total cost of car ownership. so if your car sharing, the cost of driving will be the average cost, a total of the fixed and variable costs. that means you probably will not drive as much or travel as much if your car sharing and if you're not. that in itself made one reason why some people are going to not want to car share. they will want to own their own car so they can reduce their marginal cost as a variable cost. but what is going to be the location of self-driving cars on urban transit? right now we have urban transit in almost every major city in the country. in fact, lots of little cities have urban transit, and yet outside of new york, urban transit plays a fairly minor role in transportation. the new york urban area about 32% of all commuting is done by transit, about 10 or 11% of all

the car would not know that there are five people in the other car. moving objects are to be avoided. we have situations where i was leading the team and the car had to face the couch and it was hard for it to drive around. have revamped the right behavior. >> what if it is not a couch, if it is a human being. doesn't know the difference between things and people? >> it knows about pedestrians, cars. >> now, there is a different iteration that you and i drove in which is a car that is even have the steering wheel. how is that car doing? >> this is the most audacious step forward and this was traded after sergey brin took over google x. this provides transportation services, like a taxing. it is making enormous progress. to what extent was that car a pivot from your car? >> it was a pivot. it was muss wear interested in highway driving. but it turns out there are many car companies on the same topic. if you consult the driving, you consult so much transportation. even withssibly ownership, i think it is a great vision. >> will we see self driving cars

the car is? in other words, do self driving which is to be tracked what i think i understood was said. >> i am not sure i understand the question. they are going to be connected. there are ways they will be tracked in that sense that may be mark or randal? the way the current manufacturers vision this -- they want to focus on developing sensor technology. there will be a gps receiver so the car will know what it is where -- where it is. in terms of it being tracked, i don't think -- you will be able to pull up a screen and know where the other cars are. a self driving car will know where another car is but i don't think it will necessarily know where another self driving car is. i don't think that is necessary. theracking is not part of technology that is being developed by any company i know about. >> question at the back. >> my name is kathleen. i am from the university of virginia law school. i had a question about the accident avoidance our rhythms ithms and if there is any indication from an

s new green cars.well know. >> no, actually, some of them kind of like me, but go ahead anyway. >> don't think there's global warming? is that really true? >> you know, i'm not gonna get into this, because-- >> because you got into so much trouble when you said it the first time? >> that could be right, yeah. >> what lutz said is, "man-made global warming is a crock of [bleep]." so he's no environmentalist. but he is a realist. gone are the gas-guzzlers. to save g.m., he knew he had to come up with gas-efficient cars. but detroit was broke, while in california, things were buzzing. the venture capitalists who funded the information superhighway were now pouring money into the actual highway, backing at least 30 small start-up companies. ray lane is a senior partner at kleiner perkins, the venture capital firm that helped start google and amazon. now he's investing in three electric car start-ups. >> when i first started talking about the possibility of investing in automobiles, my partners thought i wa

and this is not just going to be available to new cars, you could actually add it to your car. how soon can we have this? >> every car by 2017, it's really coming up. one of the interesting things is just as your iphone needs to be able to communicate with a samsung galaxy phone, so does a mercedes need to communicate with a ford car. the main difference, as the driver, what kind of warning are you going to get? if that car does brake in front of you, you are going to see a sound -- see a display or hear a sound telling you to slow down. >> this isn't that expensive. >> around $200. simple enough you can put a unit in your car from 1986 and still have the same advanced safety buffer. >> it can warn you about pedestrians, really great safety features like driverless cars and this involves all sorts of the different technologies working together, radar, sonar, lasers, cameras. and it's not going to look like the early google cars with that grazey thing on top right? >> no, it's not approximately all these things will be built into the car. we got to see prototypes, looked very we

of your car. so if there's any liability involved, then the auto company will have its own insurance to deal with and it won't have to deal with extended lawsuits and so forth. >> way at the back please. >> quick question. the issue that was the russian monitoring station that wanted to build was quashed last december. now if people in the government have access to the navigation and then you have to the driverless cars and companies like nissan 01 auto -- own autovance and started driving off a cliff, we start thinking about the security and we don't have the monitoring stations having that access, but i think any concerns or comments? >> the concern about the intelligent vehicle technology were driverless car technology being hacked is already evident. there've been demonstrations in real time about how the attacks can be perpetrated. it's not something that we should take lightly or that we should live in complete fear. we need to find solutions to these problems and we need to figure out how t

the success of this first production car briefly placed studebaker in the big three car makers.cisions about new models. the depression drove studebaker into bankruptcy. after reorganization, a streamlined management brought in designer raymond loewy to develop a new car. here is perfect balance that makes the champion hold its footing despite whirling-dervish driving. champion sales and lucrative wartime contracts brought the company back. studebaker had done a lot of work in terms of totally redesigning a new concept in automobiles. lester fox was vice president of the u.a.w. at studebaker. the new car did propel the corporation into national recognition that resulted in assembly plants in canada, the east coast, and california to meet the demand. the bullet-nose models, starting in 1949, added to studebaker's success. people joked, "is it going backward or forward?" the line called the champion was a terrific car. it was aheadf its time in its great gas mileage and terrific comfort for four or five people. it was audacious-looking. studebaker celebrated its centennial in 1952
