But what he sees in the transition to autonomous EVs from privately owned petrol cars is the same he has seen for all other major transitions: what he calls the 10x opportunity cost. Seba admits that his forecasts are hard to digest. By 2030, 40 per cent of cars will still be privately owned, but they will only account for 5 per cent of kilometres traveled.Īutonomous cars will be used 10 times more than internal combustion vehicles were, they will last longer – maybe one million miles (1.6 million km) – and the savings will inject an additional $1US trillion into the pockets of Americans by 2030. Seba does not say that individual car ownership will completely disappear. Indeed, there are some people who are starting to anticipate this change, considering Australian-based business models and even local manufacturing, such as t hose revealed on Monday by Michael Molitor, the head of a new company called A2EmCo. “Furthermore, the disruption will start in cities with high population density and high real estate prices – think Sydney and Melbourne then Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide – and quickly radiate out to the suburbs, the smaller cities, and then rural areas.” “And this is going to happen despite governments, not because of governments. So yes, this applies to Australia,” Seba tells RenewEconomy. The report, by RethinkX, an independent think tank that focuses on technology-driven disruption and its implications across society, says this stunning and radical will be driven entirely by economics, and will overcome the current desire for individual car ownership, starting first in the big cities and then spreading to the suburbs and regional areas. Or getting a free ride because the local government has decided to make transport easier. Imagine, for instance, paying a token sum for a ride into town after buying a latte for $4.50. The provision of this service may come virtually free as part of another offering, or a corporate sponsorship. It’s the death spiral for cars.Ī major new report predicts that by 2030, the overwhelming majority of consumers will no longer own a car – instead they will use on-demand electric autonomous vehicles.īy 2030, within 10 years of regulatory approval of autonomous electric vehicles (A-EVs), the report says, 95 per cent of all US passenger miles traveled will be served by on-demand, autonomous, electric vehicles that will be owned by fleets rather than individuals. Transport-As-A-Service will use only electric vehicles and will upend two trillion-dollar industries. By 2030, you probably won’t own a car, but you may get a free trip with your morning coffee. Would you like me to reschedule the lunch?" You'll say, "sure, go ahead," and Google's HAL will take care of it for you, getting Steve's OK and then changing your restaurant reservation. ![]() The Google HAL will constantly monitor your e-mail, your calendar, your social activity, your searches, your whereabouts and other data, run it all through some massively sophisticated algorithm, and then beep your phone and tell you something like this: "It looks like your lunch with Steve conflicts with the parent-teacher conference your wife just invited you to. Google will give you results before you even know you want to conduct a search. Google intends to leverage all of that data to transform its search technology into a HAL 9000 style personal assistant that communicates with you through your cell phone.Īs I detailed in this space last week, Google will add proactive interruption as a way to make search even faster than instantaneous. If you're a heavy user of Google services, Google knows who you are, where you are, what you're interested in, who you know and much more. HAL also knew everything about the people he interacted with. He was able to monitor all computer and spaceship systems. The movie HAL performed its amazing feats in part because it had access to a lot of data. So we can expect HAL to be integrated into our phones one feature at a time.īut Apple isn't the only company with an advantage. The company is also disciplined about rolling out only the aspects of new technology that are ready for prime time. When you pick one, Siri will make the reservation for you.Īpple bought Siri and hired the world's leading expert in HAL-like artificial intelligence robots to lead its iPhone engineering team for only one reason: Apple knows phones will evolve into virtual personal assistants.Īpple's advantage is that it's good at integrating functionality and making it seamless and elegant. Siri will intelligently suggest a few based on your location and preferences. Say you want to make a restaurant reservation. ![]() If you've got an iPhone, you can download Siri's "virtual personal assistant" app free of charge. The only difference is that HAL will live in your iPhone. Apple "acquired" Cheyer when it bought the company he co-founded, Siri Inc.Īnd Cheyer is still building HAL. Guess what HAL's chief architect does now? Cheyer works at Apple as director of engineering for the iPhone. ![]() Fletching arrows: 2 per set of 15 arrows.Cutting wood into unstrung bows: 3 per bow.However, you are not guaranteed a fish every 5 ticks rather, every 5 ticks there is a chance to catch a fish.

No wonder filial piety and love for youngsters are embedded in the heart of the Chinese people.A family-based rather than individual-based approach to values has hugely influenced the governance of traditional Chinese society. The yearlong yearning for family reunion during Spring Festival is manifested in the travel rush, when China witnesses the largest human migration in the world with hundreds of millions of Chinese traveling across the country to their hometown to enjoy the Lunar New Year Eve dinner with family and friends.Customs such as paying homage to ancestors, enjoying the family reunion dinner, and gifting red envelopes with "lucky" money to youngsters serve as the moral and ethical edification of, and embody the Chinese people's belief in family values and pursuit of harmony. ![]() Spring Festival customs and rituals manifest Chinese people's belief that harmony between man and nature is a prerequisite for humankind to lead a secure, orderly and happy life.The concept of unity between humans and nature has profoundly influenced all aspects of Chinese social life, even shaped the idea of "green development", which China lays special emphasis on today.More important, Spring Festival culture represents the value of family reunion and the pursuit of harmonious family relationship. As a result, traditional Chinese culture emphasizes the unity between man and nature, and regards man as an integral part of nature.For thousands of years, the Chinese people have been celebrating Spring Festival to thank Mother Nature for her bountiful gifts, and looking forward to the revitalization of all aspects of life and praying for favorable weather and a bumper crop in the new year. Laozi, the ancient Chinese philosopher and founder of Taoism, advocated: "Man is modeled on Earth, Earth on heaven, heaven on Tao, and Tao on nature".

By keeping Boba silent for basically the entirety of the issue, and everyone else doing the talking, from panic about his presence to love for his actions, really shows readers the reputation he has, instead of us being told again and again he’s the best. While in a vacuum, this issue would’ve given me the same feeling, but after TCW showed his tutelage from various sources, Boba feels both like he’s earned his reputation with fans and in-universe the skills to be the baddest, best bounty hunter in the galaxy. I have come to enjoy Boba much more during his younger years, as seen in The Clone Wars, but this is the first time, in both Legends and canon, I’ve really come to appreciate the grown-up Boba. ![]() ![]() When I got older, and his ‘father’ Jango was introduced, I found him to be far more interesting and compelling, as his Legends stories fleshed out why he ended up being the perfect candidate for the clone army and I found that to deserve more of a reputation, both with fans and within the GFFA. When I was younger, Boba Fett’s armor held all his appeal and I was a big fan of the character, though even then most of Boba’s Legends stories set post- Return of the Jedi were hit or miss for me (love the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy, felt meh about his part in the Legacy of the Force). ![]() Age of Rebellion – Boba Fett #1 does what most of Legends really couldn’t do for me with the character, making his older-aged appearances compelling, by going full Western/Man With No Name, while the gorgeous art brings the experience to vivid life.
