apple building lidar in to the latest generations of phones, and it's not mainly phones lidar is in. of the companies behind the tech that drives autonomous vehicle, luminar, unveil be new lidar using taxis and trucks spacs last summer, first in a wave of car tech investments next guest founded the company, became the world's youngest self-made billionaire in that field. luminar is about a lot more than cars you've moving into aviation as well, but how much is this latest product, this latest rev you've got that's got a smaller footprint going to change where this is able to go and how the vehicles it's in are going to look >> absolutely. thanks for having me here, too actually, we just had an event today that answered some of those questions. called it luminar studio live in frork city where i am right now. showed off a few things relevant to that. one is design integration of a first fully-integrated vehicle huge rax, doing away with monstrosities. and next up showing line drive of the sensor in terms what we were able to get out showing the capabilities of the performance, the sca

jack: he's not using radar and lidar, radar assisted like most of the other players are. we didn't even mention if apple should come out with a car that knocks another 100 billion in tesla. >> tesla while having good technology might not be in the lead, it's also odd to say that traditional automaker la general motors would be in the lead. they bought a company called cruise in 2016. that's the basis of their autonomous vehicle technology. they're testing self-driving robo taxis in san francisco today. so from an automaker perspective general motors. >> al, where are you also seeing opportunities with av vehicles? >> so one of the reasons the story is timely, we have 6lidar companies that have become publicly traded companies, these are the sensors that enable self-driving. i think they are too new. i think the goals are too aggressive. i want look at aptive, global parts company, it is the leader in active and advanced safety, the kinds of thicks that become autonomous driving like lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control. they are totally agnostic to who wins the av

this also includes the companies working on some of the components including lidar.nitely a space to watch going forward. emily: windows is getting a big upgrade. windows has announced windows 11 aimed at improving the remote work and gaming experience along with security features. >> today marks a major milestone in the history of windows. it's the beginning of a new generation. i am excited by what we have shown you today and how we are we imagining everything from the operating system itself to the browser to the store and feed. emily: joining me now is a microsoft representative. good to have you back on the show. white the redesign? what is driving this? >> a big part of what we are trying to do is put people at the center of the entire experience to help them inspire their creativity. a big part of what we felt like over the last year we have learned the pc has never been more essential in our lives and this is designed to do that with a new simple fight experience. hope you can -- connect to the people you care about. ultimately get more apps, games, entertain

artificial intelligence, data, lidar, you were cofounder of palantir, big data company that's getting >> palantir's had a real strong few years. we saw it 18 years ago, and my cofounder was the best paid fortune 500 last year, i thought that was a cool milestone. data and a.i. are a really important part of this. it's kind of like you use the cloud, you use a.i. as a tool to solve problems. usually companies are bringing data together, and a.i.'s one of the day that when you get data together, you make things work. the hard part is solving the business process and getting data all in one place to let you have value. liz: does anything look frothy or a little too hyperactive right now? i say that because we've got the situation with crypto and crypto stocks. cryptocurrencys have had a rough 24, 48 hours here, and this comes after last week when michael, the guy who was me moralized through the big short for making multibillion on betting against subprime mortgages, he put out this tweet last week which he's since deleted which i don't quite understand. either you stand by it or you don

. >> reporter: it uses artificial intelligence, and lidar, to see the world around it. >> i could bend i'm going to...nice job. your thing works. it works. it pretty great tech. >> reporter: amazon says robots like bert and ernie are the most advanced warehouse robots in the world. but not because they get the job done faster. >> they're slower than people, but they're a lot safer. so we think that's a good tradeoff. >> reporter: to a critic, all of the robots in the room may ignore the elephant in the room, that amazon's injury rate is high not because there is not enough robots, but because they set too great a pace. amazon told us they were creating time for regular breaks and a comfortable pace, and working directly with anyone who needs additional support to meet their goals. so far what i've seen here today are robots saving people from doing more stuff. and is the end goal of that, to get rid of the people entirely? >> you approach automation robotics about helping people and benefiting them. since 2012, when we started first deploying robotics here at amazon, we put in 350,00
