<li><strong>[04:30] <a href="http://spectrum.ieee.org/cars-that-think/transportation/self-driving/totally-autonomous-cars-may-not-evolve-from-semiautonomous-ones" target="_blank">UK leads the way with self driving cars</a> w/<a href="https://twitter.com/pross356" target="_blank">Philip Ross</a> @ieeeSpectrum</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] coventry's RDM group unvieled new driverless car called the lutz pathfinder</li>
<li>] 40 of these cars will be tested in and around milton keens&nbsp;later this year</li>
<li>] UK gov will publish a code of practice for testing autonomous vehicles on public roads, later this year</li>
<li>] lutz VS google prius differences - about 150K per car in cost, lutz is a golf cart, going slow is much easier</li>
<li>] US legislation is moving very slowly, state by state,</li>
<li>] every country has its autonomous car projects, a bandwagon going on ...</li>
<li>] google car works becauses its mapped every square centimeter, mapping is alwasy updates</li>
<li>] EU and US driving is different,</li>
<li>] this is more a test of concept, they just want to see if it works at all,</li>
<li>] this may lead them to be the first in governing legislation for autonomous vehicles</li>
<li>] 2 main theories currently on how autonomous vehicles will evolve/be adopted</li>
<li>] EVolution - cars will get increasing automated to point where they will fully autonomous</li>
<li>] 1 fell swoop - the good is the enemy of the perfect -</li>
<li>] example -&nbsp;airliners are now very heavily automated, have been for a long time,</li>
<li>] but just now are they approaching the idea of going to 1 pilot VS 2, they could have done this 30 years ago</li>
<li>] and they are looking at&nbsp;doing this&nbsp;within 30 years, things move slowly on an evolutionary path</li>
<li>] a lot of cars already have a lot of autonomy, built in, leading ex mercedes s class, they can stop by themselves, airbags, antilock brakes, self braking, situational awareness</li>
<li>] maybe 1 day we may realize that 85% of what we consider "driving" is already being done by the car</li>
<li>] but probably not, airliners already have 95% automation to fly&nbsp;themselves,&nbsp;but we dont let them</li>

<li>]&nbsp;the more companies can share info, the better they will be at fighting/preventing it</li>
<li>] experiment to see if they work together, can they battle the threat more effectively</li>
<li>] partners include - twitter, dropbox, pinterest, tumbler, yahoo,</li>
<li>] why is facebook taking the initiative VS a security company</li>
<li>&gt;] every company is going to have to be a security company going forward</li>

<ol>
<li>] some Samsung TV owners are reporting seeing "pepsi ads" that&nbsp;are being inserted directly into users content</li>
<li>] muted 50 second pepsi ads</li>
<li>] USER was watching his own content, not streaming, the ads appeared only while watching the content on his Samsung TV, not on other devices</li>
<li>] then australian cable TV subscribers of foxtel cable, users saw similar ads,</li>
<li>] samsung australia released a statement - these ads were just "an error", they are "not planning" to continue in the future</li>
<li>] but it is proof of&nbsp;Samsung capability THAT they can Inject your own personal content with ads</li>
<li>] users are terrified of this idea, consumers are&nbsp;NOT used to seeing ads delivered by the device, not by the content</li>
<li>] Samsungs&nbsp;smart tv&nbsp;also&nbsp;has the capablity&nbsp;to listen to&nbsp;"anything you say in front of the TV, which then can be relayed to third parties"</li>
<li>] ultimately its an issue of trust,</li>
<li>"] ME - appreciates "dumb TV's",</li>
<li>"] LU - likes smart TVs but Samsung has to be careful with their "wording" and their "coding"</li>

<li>] service allows android users to pay for stuff by just saying "your initials" out loud</li>
<li>] not understanding why this is so awesome, dont want anything a critical as payments, that is spoken</li>
<li>] chatter/noise can make it even more difficult</li>

<li>] apple own's sapphire, company that makes (part of) their fingerprint reader technology, authentic</li>
<li>] apple doing well in touchless mobile payments market, but it's a small market</li>
