<v Speaker 2>and Sandy Show. Hi. Today in Austin. We're hitting ninety two.

8
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:22.440
<v Speaker 2>When's it gonna get hot?

9
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.879
<v Speaker 3>I'd be happy if it stayed right here? Isn't that ridiculous?

10
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Be happy with ninety two?

11
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 1>That's funny.

12
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 4>You mentioned that I had a friend in town this

13
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:38.159
<v Speaker 4>weekend and he landed on Saturday morning at like nine am,

14
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 4>and his son's checking out University of Texas and he's

15
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 4>from Boston, and I got a text from him.

16
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>We were going to connect when he got here.

17
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 4>And I got a text from him.

18
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, oh my god, it's hot here. And

19
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 1>this was at ten am. Oh my god.

20
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.719
<v Speaker 4>He was in line, in line at Joe's Coffee on

21
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 4>South Congress, and I was like, if you're dying.

22
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Now, yeah, you are screwed.

23
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>By two three pm, has he already accepted been accepted at.

24
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Ut or just chip poking around, poking around, poking around.

25
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 1>It's his first choice. Boston's from Boston, not much of

26
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>my college town. He wants to go to the School

27
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>of Engineering.

28
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh at ut I guess it's it's pretty good. And

29
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 4>I took them out on the lake. I said, here's

30
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 4>the deal. Summers in Austin, you're either your you're indoors

31
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:36.120
<v Speaker 4>or on.

32
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 1>You got to be on the water. You can't.

33
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.200
<v Speaker 4>Everything else is going to be miserable. So I took

34
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 4>him out on the lake and we were we were

35
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 4>driving through real slow through the no wake zone by

36
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 4>the three sixty bridge, which has now become to hang out. Yeah,

37
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 4>you know, because it's a no wake zone now, and

38
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 4>of course it's packed. And I kind of leaned over

39
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 4>to his son and I said, you see, you see

40
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.719
<v Speaker 4>all these cute girls, I said, KINI season here starts

41
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 4>in late March yep and goes almost to Thanksgiving.

42
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 1>This is to a kid from Boston, right, And he

43
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>just kind of lit up.

44
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 4>Tell better have some game though, yeah, I said, yeah, yeah,

45
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 4>you said you might get real used to this.

46
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, good looking girls played a big part

47
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.360
<v Speaker 2>in college decisions for young men.

48
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Trust me. He's a big part the stories we love

49
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Live from.

50
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 3>The Lester Holt Studios. It's Trisha Delicia. So yesterday was

51
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:36.800
<v Speaker 3>the day.

52
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 5>Elon Musk posted on Twitter his Twitter account on Sunday

53
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 5>that his new autonomous vehicle service launched yesterday afternoon. He

54
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 5>said that for those people who were granted early access,

55
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 5>which they were sent an invitation to be early access writers,

56
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 5>that they could order a Tesla robotaxi for a flat

57
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 5>rate of four dollars and twenty cents and go anywhere

58
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 5>inside the offenced area in Austin.

59
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how long that.

60
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 5>Will last, but there is an actual robotaxi app. It

61
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.439
<v Speaker 5>helps them figure out the kinks and stuff for the

62
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 5>people who were invited for early access.

63
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 3>They did also say that there will be.

64
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 5>A safety monitor writing in all of the early access

65
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 5>vehicle rides.

66
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

67
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 4>Interesting, Wait, robo robotaxi service. Is that what I want?

68
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 3>There's a robotaxi app.

69
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, okay, I'm going to get it. I saw

70
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>one yesterday. How would you know if you got invited

71
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 1>to early access though, he would have sent you.

72
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 3>He would have sent you a note through Twitter.

73
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, and.

74
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how you I don't know how you

75
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 3>get that invitation.

76
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.159
<v Speaker 1>You know I didn't. I didn't even think of.

77
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 4>Elon Musk totally undercut Uber and Lyft and just being

78
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 4>cheaper and make a loss to just drive people to

79
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 4>use the service and switch and then slowly creep it

80
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 4>up but undercut them entirely.

81
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeow.

82
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 4>And you know you're getting a new Tesla because I

83
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 4>have ridden in some ride sharing cars and I'm like,

84
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.199
<v Speaker 4>how is this thing passing inspection?

85
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Inspection? Jeez? You know, yeah, I'm going I'm interested.

86
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to Nebraska in a couple of weeks to

87
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 2>hang out with my dad while my mom, my sister,

88
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 2>and my aunt go on a trip. And I'm going

89
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 2>to do everything I can to convince my dad to

90
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 2>buy a Tesla with the self with the self driving.

91
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>He's eighty five.

92
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Years old, okay, Yeah, And I'm going to rip one

93
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 2>and show it to him and then how it works,

94
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to see if big A will buy one,

95
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 2>because that way they can just he can just go

96
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 2>wherever he wants to go and not.

97
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 1>Have to drive.

98
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.519
<v Speaker 5>I just don't see your dad, of all people agreeing

99
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 5>to that. He's so you know what I mean, he

100
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 5>definitely is more technological, technologically savvy than some other people

101
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 5>of his age, but he just takes him so long

102
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 5>to make a decision, you know what I mean.

103
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.040
<v Speaker 2>That's why I'm saying if I rent one for a

104
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 2>couple of days and get in and show him the autopilot,

105
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>that he'll he'll buy into it, you know what I mean,

106
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Because he still wants people to do stuff, but he can't.

107
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:13.879
<v Speaker 2>He can't see as well as he used to and

108
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 2>needs to. It's scary.

109
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, and this is the solution, right, I don't know.

110
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:21.199
<v Speaker 1>I think it'd be good for him.

111
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it makes sense that he's you know, digs technology.

112
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.839
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he used to fly the most sophisticated planes,

113
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.800
<v Speaker 4>right that he loves, you know, in his career, right.

114
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 2>And he loves that type of stuff.

115
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 3>It's just an autopilot in his car.

116
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're right, which would be pretty cool.

117
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 4>So autopilot would make sense to a pilot more than

118
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 4>anybody exactly, because they fly just totally on instruments sometimes, right,

119
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 4>you don't even touch it.

120
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 2>My daughter and I are talking about getting our pilot's license,

121
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:55.959
<v Speaker 2>are starting the process of doing it.

122
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>It's cool, though, what do you mean what it.

123
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 3>Could crash fall out of the sky.

124
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.120
<v Speaker 5>I feel like I hear every day about small planes

125
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:04.959
<v Speaker 5>that are crashing.

126
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you never see anything about cars crashing the

127
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 1>same thing.

128
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.800
<v Speaker 5>You're just adding another element of crash ability to your life.

129
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

130
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 2>You guys think that the price is a some sort

131
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 2>of marijuana reference.

132
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I thought that too, but I don't know.

133
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe could be. But so those are out rolling around

134
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 1>their geo fence to downtown. I saw one yesterday.

135
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.240
<v Speaker 4>I was turning off a Congress onto Woodland and I

136
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 4>saw a Tesla coming right at me. So, like when

137
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 4>you see the waymos or the toyotas that are they're

138
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.399
<v Speaker 4>testing now, like there's a million things standing around.

139
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 1>It is it's like it's an alien car, right, I

140
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>feel like it should be going.

141
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Whoop who like yeah, wicking noises.

142
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 4>And the Robotaxi I only noticed because they were coming

143
00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 4>at me and I didn't see a driver in it,

144
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.120
<v Speaker 4>and it looked like a Tesla's Tesla model Y. And

145
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 4>then on the side it's it's a very small logo

146
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 4>that says Robotaxi. It's it's not a big billboard. I

147
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 4>kind of like that. It's a little more class.

148
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

149
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because the weaimos or people are like, look a waymo,

150
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.079
<v Speaker 5>because it's all the stuff on it is crazy.

151
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:24.920
<v Speaker 3>I feel like it's a little bit less understated with

152
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:25.800
<v Speaker 3>the ROBOTAXI.

153
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they look like a normal clu. It looks much more. Yeah,
