1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:13,373
Speaker 1: from News Talks at b our Textbit.

3
00:00:13,453 --> 00:00:16,853
Speaker 2: Paul Steinhouse is here with a fascinating story out of

4
00:00:16,893 --> 00:00:19,453
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. It is only going to be worse when

5
00:00:19,453 --> 00:00:21,573
Speaker 2: it comes to traffic and trying to get around the

6
00:00:21,573 --> 00:00:25,213
Speaker 2: city come the Olympic Games. But LA has just announced

7
00:00:25,293 --> 00:00:30,413
Speaker 2: an official air taxi provider for the twenty twenty eight Games. Paul,

8
00:00:30,573 --> 00:00:31,133
Speaker 2: What on.

9
00:00:31,173 --> 00:00:32,533
Speaker 1: Earth, Jack?

10
00:00:32,573 --> 00:00:35,213
Speaker 3: This might be the closest we get to my Jetson's

11
00:00:35,253 --> 00:00:40,173
Speaker 3: fantasy of flying cars. Maybe it's a little you can't

12
00:00:40,213 --> 00:00:42,173
Speaker 3: just go where you want to go? Okay, So here's

13
00:00:42,173 --> 00:00:45,293
Speaker 3: how it's going to work. They have a company called

14
00:00:45,453 --> 00:00:47,933
Speaker 3: Archer who is going through the process at the moment

15
00:00:48,013 --> 00:00:54,893
Speaker 3: to get their electric piloted ear taxis certified by the FAA. Okay,

16
00:00:54,933 --> 00:00:58,773
Speaker 3: So these things are designed to carry the pilot as

17
00:00:58,773 --> 00:01:02,093
Speaker 3: well as up to four passengers and their luggage. And

18
00:01:02,173 --> 00:01:04,693
Speaker 3: they're going to have this network they're calling at which

19
00:01:04,733 --> 00:01:08,173
Speaker 3: will be like site to site. So it kind of

20
00:01:08,293 --> 00:01:12,053
Speaker 3: looks more like a plane because it has a fixed wing. Yes,

21
00:01:12,493 --> 00:01:17,853
Speaker 3: but it can land and take off vertically because it's

22
00:01:18,293 --> 00:01:21,733
Speaker 3: propellers on the edge of its fixed wing can tilt

23
00:01:21,853 --> 00:01:24,733
Speaker 3: upwards or forwards, so it can either put them upwards

24
00:01:24,773 --> 00:01:27,173
Speaker 3: and go up. It's got like twelve of them, six

25
00:01:27,213 --> 00:01:28,693
Speaker 3: on each side or something, so it can either like

26
00:01:28,733 --> 00:01:31,773
Speaker 3: go up vertically and then just take off like a plane.

27
00:01:32,053 --> 00:01:35,653
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty cool. So people might know those osprays.

28
00:01:35,693 --> 00:01:36,573
Speaker 2: Do you know the osprays?

29
00:01:36,693 --> 00:01:37,453
Speaker 3: Yes, the ospray.

30
00:01:37,573 --> 00:01:40,013
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like a little version, like a

31
00:01:40,013 --> 00:01:41,973
Speaker 2: commercial version of an ospray, right.

32
00:01:41,933 --> 00:01:44,973
Speaker 3: A Tesla version, yeah, rightric Yeah. So yeah, so these

33
00:01:45,013 --> 00:01:48,253
Speaker 3: things are going to basically lift off from specific places

34
00:01:48,293 --> 00:01:51,213
Speaker 3: around LA and then we'll be able to fly and

35
00:01:51,253 --> 00:01:54,373
Speaker 3: then land in other specific places around LA. And so

36
00:01:54,413 --> 00:01:56,653
Speaker 3: they're going to use this Apparently it is the official

37
00:01:56,693 --> 00:01:59,893
Speaker 3: ear taxi provider for the twenty eight Games, and it's

38
00:01:59,893 --> 00:02:06,293
Speaker 3: going to shuttle VopS athletes I'm assuming highly expensive spectator

39
00:02:06,413 --> 00:02:11,053
Speaker 3: tickets two different places. And they say that it will

40
00:02:11,093 --> 00:02:13,453
Speaker 3: be able to turn a wonder to our drive into

41
00:02:13,453 --> 00:02:17,053
Speaker 3: a teen to twenty minute journey and it is one

42
00:02:17,133 --> 00:02:19,293
Speaker 3: hundred times quieter than a helicopter.

43
00:02:19,693 --> 00:02:21,533
Speaker 2: Okay, well, yeah, we don't want to get in it.

44
00:02:22,013 --> 00:02:23,733
Speaker 2: All of that sounds good, well it does, Yeah, it

45
00:02:23,733 --> 00:02:25,613
Speaker 2: sounds good in theory. So do we know how much

46
00:02:25,653 --> 00:02:27,133
Speaker 2: it's going to cost to find one of them?

47
00:02:27,333 --> 00:02:27,693
Speaker 1: We don't know.

48
00:02:27,733 --> 00:02:28,653
Speaker 3: We don't talk about it.

49
00:02:28,773 --> 00:02:30,653
Speaker 2: Yeah, okays Angeles, Yeah.

50
00:02:30,533 --> 00:02:33,133
Speaker 3: Don't talk about silly details.

51
00:02:32,653 --> 00:02:34,253
Speaker 2: Like yeah, right, we're dreaming here.

52
00:02:34,253 --> 00:02:37,013
Speaker 3: It's twenty twenty five. This is going to be twenty

53
00:02:37,053 --> 00:02:38,733
Speaker 3: twenty eight. I mean those out later.

54
00:02:38,933 --> 00:02:42,413
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I feel like there could be some things

55
00:02:42,413 --> 00:02:46,293
Speaker 2: that go wrong, but look, yeah, we're remaining open minded

56
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:49,093
Speaker 2: at the stage. Look, and they are cool looking gun

57
00:02:49,093 --> 00:02:53,373
Speaker 2: of machines. So you know, hey, TikTok apparently wants kids

58
00:02:53,413 --> 00:02:54,013
Speaker 2: to sleep.

59
00:02:54,653 --> 00:02:56,893
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it is. You go to bed, you pull

60
00:02:56,893 --> 00:02:58,813
Speaker 3: out your phone, you get stuck in the TikTok hole. Right,

61
00:02:58,853 --> 00:03:01,973
Speaker 3: We've been there at the time just disappears. So after

62
00:03:02,093 --> 00:03:05,293
Speaker 3: ten pm now kids who are under eighteen are going

63
00:03:05,333 --> 00:03:07,653
Speaker 3: to get a reminder that they may have just been

64
00:03:07,693 --> 00:03:11,253
Speaker 3: scrolling a touch too long and that sleep is good,

65
00:03:11,533 --> 00:03:14,293
Speaker 3: and they even get promoted to do some guided meditation.

66
00:03:14,373 --> 00:03:18,973
Speaker 3: They've got some relaxing music that's quite nice. So that's

67
00:03:18,973 --> 00:03:22,093
Speaker 3: going to be on by default for all users under eighteen.

68
00:03:22,133 --> 00:03:24,933
Speaker 3: If you're over eighteen and still find yourself stuck in

69
00:03:24,973 --> 00:03:28,013
Speaker 3: TikTok holes after ten pm and should be asleep. You

70
00:03:28,093 --> 00:03:31,533
Speaker 3: too can turn on the reminders you go into the

71
00:03:31,653 --> 00:03:35,533
Speaker 3: sleep hours in your screen time settings and hopefully you'll

72
00:03:35,533 --> 00:03:36,013
Speaker 3: get some zen.

73
00:03:36,133 --> 00:03:37,973
Speaker 2: Can you turn it off if you're under eighteen?

74
00:03:38,493 --> 00:03:42,533
Speaker 3: No? Yeah, I actually think you can. The release specifically

75
00:03:42,573 --> 00:03:46,333
Speaker 3: said like toggled on by default, but they said I

76
00:03:46,373 --> 00:03:48,813
Speaker 3: remember actually reading now you mentioned that. I do believe

77
00:03:48,813 --> 00:03:52,493
Speaker 3: that they said that the kids who did it opted

78
00:03:52,533 --> 00:03:53,293
Speaker 3: in and kept it.

79
00:03:53,973 --> 00:03:54,733
Speaker 1: They were okay with.

80
00:03:54,693 --> 00:03:57,013
Speaker 2: It, okay, because they've tried it already. Yeah, right, yeah,

81
00:03:57,053 --> 00:03:58,733
Speaker 2: they trial it, so it's kinds like the big Grand

82
00:03:59,293 --> 00:04:01,093
Speaker 2: the rollout. Yeah yeah, yeah.

83
00:04:01,213 --> 00:04:03,653
Speaker 3: I've added this relaxing music guide of meditation, which is

84
00:04:03,693 --> 00:04:04,613
Speaker 3: a nice ad, isn't it.

85
00:04:04,853 --> 00:04:07,253
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure about getting a guided meditation from

86
00:04:07,293 --> 00:04:10,053
Speaker 2: an app like it sort of seems counterintuitive, but from

87
00:04:10,053 --> 00:04:14,293
Speaker 2: an app like techtok. But it's all about engagement anyway. Hey, thanks, Paul,
