Was your screen-time up last week? How'd that make you feel? In a world where we underestimate our screen time by 100% and studies indicate that social media corrodes self-esteem - would we be happier with less tech in our lives? There's a place that's effectively a Petri dish for this question; a so-called Quiet Zone that stands against the tides of technology… and Jason and Peter were driven to find out all about it! Really, no really! In the Quiet Zone, anything that creates radio noise, like: microwaves, cellphones, combustion engines, Wi-Fi, even malfunctioning electric blankets are explicitly outlawed. Our guide this episode is Stephen Kurczy, an award-winning journalist and author of, “The Quiet Zone: Unraveling the Mystery of a Town Suspended in Silence.” In this episode: How the United States government forcibly set aside 13,000 squares miles for a Radio Astronomy Observatory and then established an NSA surveillance compound. What it's like for the 8,000 people who live wirelessly in a space about the same size as Rhode Island. The lack of mobile tech and its effect on culture and society. The Quiet Zone's mysterious murders, Neo-Nazi encampments, hippie communes and Electro Sensitives. The scientific study investigating how the absence of social media affects happiness. Peter's Misophonia vs. Jason's Electro Sensitivity! Can Quiet Zone residents stream Seinfeld?

What's up to my husky hellbenders and pithy puss moths! Welcome back to the BNP and thank you for joining the pod! This episode is a classic throwback hodgepodge ep friends. We got a little extra *zane* this week on the zany audio tidbits. We got triple the meditation reflection segments: how to craft affirmations and inner dialogue (importance of language in prayer and manifestation), discovering my own personal "Want Goblin" and how it prevents me from perceiving the present moment, and what it means spiritually and psychologically to "return to square one and start over like children." Also featured this week is a mash up of some synthy beats with Vietnam era CIA man Frank Snepp spilling the beans about Intel Agency manipulation of the press and weaponization of "disinformation," as well as an abridged recent Yak Fest seggy w/ Dr. Sylvie where we pay a visit to dystopian AF New Zealand. And we got a real Hold Onto Yer Butts Outro reading about the Knights of Freakin Malta. Yikes. In short: it's a banger folks!! So: unpackage that infused blunt (hopefully a fruit flavored variety), kick up your toes, snack on some monkfruit-sweetened toffee peanuts, and blast off into Barbarian Space (like regular space except you do whatever the eff you want and you refuse to pay tributes to some Roman space legionnaire asshole).  Won't you please rate, review and subscribe to the BNP wherever you listen to podcasts?Help me stay on the air by becoming a beloved patron at www.patreon.com/noetics.  Signing up at any tier gets you a dream interpretation coupon, original haiku, and infinite sunflower sprinkles and puppy dog karma.

On this edition of Parallax Views, controversial Fox News personality Tucker Carlson caused an uproar recently when he alleged that he has been spied on by the NSA (National Security Agency). Pointing aside one's opinions of either Carlson or his allegations, Parallax Views wanted to delve into the issue of domestic surveillance program and how the could potentially be abused in way that could target activists of the left and right. Are there ways in which the real issue of domestic extremism can be exploited to unsavory ends? In our highly politicized world it is easy to see how such abuse can occur. How a BLM activist could be labeled a "Black Identity Extremist", for example. Or how someone holding socialist views could be labeled domestic extremists. Although the issue of domestic extremism has gained renewed attention since the Janury 6th "Capitol Breach". But what of the potential for the misuse of this important issue? And what of the potential abuses of domestic surveillance programs? Joining us to unpack all those issues is libertarian gadfly James Bovard, author of such books as Attention Deficit Democracy, Public Policy Hooligan, and The Bush Betrayal. We talk about all the aforementioned issues as well as the dual problem of the Imperial Presidency and secretive entrenched bureacracies often referred to, for good or ill, as the "deep state". All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views. This conversation was inspired by Jim's latest article in The Daily Caller, "Why NSA Vs Tucker Carlson Is An Alarm Bell For All Americans".

In this episode we examine the NSA and their surveillance spy programs used to monitor behavior that they deny they do.We look at PRISM, Echelon, Centra and other programs used by NSA and CIA to collect data and monitor citizens, even the innocent. Certain people have been targeted (for less than what we expose), even Christians for citing scriptures. Pastors are monitored for gathering during restrictions under the excuse of health regulations. We feel there will be a clamping down on Christians soon, if this pattern continues.

On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast, Dan and Sam discuss Edward Snowden. He might not yet be a historical figure, but he certainly is a hero. He is the whistleblower of all whistleblowers, the American who blew the lid off of Washington's spying on private citizens. But Snowden's leak revealed that it's not just the U.S. government that is spying on virtually every American – big American telecommunications companies are also helping them to spy as well.   While often thought of as little more than a computer geek, Snowden is in fact a former Army Reserve member and even signed up for special forces training. However, he broke both of his legs in a training accident and was discharged soon afterward. His motivation for joining the military was not to avenge the 9/11 attacks, but specifically the invasion of Iraq and a desire to liberate oppressed peoples in the country. He enlisted in April 2004, and was discharged in September of that year.   In 2005, he then worked at the University of Maryland's Center for Advanced Study of Language as a security guard. While a training ground for the National Security Agency (NSA), this is not a classified facility. However, Snowden did have to obtain a security clearance to work here. In 2006, he accepted a job with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) after speaking to them at a job fair. Known as a “computer wizard,” he lived in a hotel room while he completed his training.   His first CIA assignment took place under diplomatic cover in Geneva, in March 2007. He claims that while there, he saw agents get a Swiss banker drunk, then had him arrested when he drove home. The CIA then, according to Snowden, offered to help him out in exchange for him becoming an informant. These claims are obviously disputed by the CIA.   He then worked for Dell starting in 2009, as an NSA subcontractor, where he was known as a “genius among geniuses.” His time there mainly involved training employees on how to protect data from Chinese hackers.   It was during his time at Dell that Snowden began to become disillusioned with his work.   “I can't in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, Internet freedom, and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they're secretly building... the NSA specifically targets the communications of everyone. It ingests them by default... they are intent on making every conversation and every form of behavior in the world known to them.” -Edward Snowden   Have a listen to hear more about the impact Snowden had and you can read Sam's full article “Edward Snowden: The Untold Story of How One Patriotic American Exposed NSA Surveillance” at Ammo.com.   For $20 off your $200 purchase, go to https://ammo.com/podcast (a special deal for our listeners).   Follow Sam Jacobs on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SamJacobs45   And check out our sponsor, Libertas Bella, for all of your favorite 2nd Amendment apparel at LibertasBella.com.   Helpful Links:  Edward Snowden: The Untold Story of How One Patriotic American Exposed NSA Surveillance Resistance Library  Sam Jacobs

Airing date: 03/11/2019 Autonomous Planes 737 Crash - NSA Surveillance Program Craig Peterson 0:00 Good morning, everybody. It's another Monday an early Monday, I wish they would get rid of Daylight Savings Time, there has been a move in the northeast US to not only abolish Daylight Savings Time here, which again, there's all kinds of studies that show that it's bad for your health, this whole Daylight Savings Time shifting an hour here and there. Not a good thing. But turning that off, but also changing to a new time zone, creating one more time zone east of Eastern Time, which would put us in maritime time, which I am so for as well. And Maine and New Hampshire have alternately pass bills. But all the New England states are kind of relying on each other, because Maine won't it if Mass. doesn't do it or if New Hampshire doesn't do it, and you know, vice versa, typical political mess. And the only reason we have the time zones we have is because of the railroad and they decided to chop the country up to make their life a little bit easier to schedule the trains over 100 years ago. And then Congress fell in step and decided to adopt these time zones. It used to be that noon was it varied from city to city, and it was based on when your actual noon was based on the sun being directly overhead. So we had thousands of time zones across the country just too much for the railroad, too much for the federal government to handle. So that's where we got it from completely arbitrary. I would love for it to make way more sense. And if you look at even productivity numbers, the people's productivity based on where they live within a time zone, if they're on the eastern edge of the western edge, or in this sentence, and health impacts. It's huge. We've got to re examine this and we've got to get rid of the shifts in the time zone. That's just my opinion here. But heck, that's what you're here for. Right. We are going to go now to Mr. Jack Heath. Of course, talking with me, Craig Peterson about a couple of things. One, this new 737 crash that occurred in Ethiopia, what is happening with our jets? What are the technical concerns from my viewpoint on this, we also had a couple of minutes to talk about autonomous vehicles tying that into the airplanes and some credit the President Trump just does not getting over this National Security Agency data collection program. So here we go with Mr. Jack. Jack Heath 2:52 Craig Peterso, our Tech Talk guy joins us on the Auto Fair listener lines. Good morning, Craig. Craig 2:57 Hey, good morning, Jack. You know, look, this Boeing 737 Max 8 crash. It's kind of interesting in getting into the background of it, because these two crashes or they're looking into whether or not it was some faulty sensor data. Both of these planes crashed shortly after takeoff. And it brings up something that I've been concerned about for many years. And it really was me started with the Airbus planes where we have a heavy, heavy reliance on automation and was automation at least partly to blame because of bad sensors? So it looks like that's what the crash investigators are starting to look into right now. But that goes right back to us or automobiles. We've got these new self driving cars. We've got Elon Musk, saying that within the next year is Teslas are going to be upgradeable to be completely self driving and that brings up questions about the insurance market, insurance people. Who are they going to ensure?Is it the guys that wrote the software? The company they work for? The contractor that hired them? The companies that made the car which isn't really making the car anymore they're being assembled? We've got police now who are looking at maybe being able to take control of self driving cars. We have at least two cases now jack where drivers have fallen asleep behind those steering wheel with Tesla including one just a month ago with the autopilot engaged. There's so many questions eh? Jack 4:33 I don't want a, did you just say eh? Did you hear the Canadian in Craig Peterson right there. He said, eh. Wow, eh? I was just saying I don't want Justin McIsaac having a driverless car. Craig 4:49 Well, the way I look at it, Jack, in 20 years, you know, if you're 70, 80 years old, it's probably going to be safer to have an autonomous vehicle than having you drive the today it might be safer to have the autonomous vehicle than having Justin drive the car as you pointed out. But ultimately, ultimately, this is where it's going. And this is where the airplanes are going. Jack 5:13 It's not me I'm worried about when I'm driving. Craig 5:15  Yeah, Justin, I know. I get it. Jack 5:17  No, no it's the other car though. Craig 5:19  It's Justin. Yeah. Jack 5:20 He's no, he's a very, he's a very conscious driver. It's what he's what he does. But it's not his car that worries me. Justin McIsaac 5:26  I  can use the Apple and driving sometimes. Believe me, I can't wait for this. Craig 5:32 It's going to be an interesting but a very rough road for the next few years. And the President Trump's administration is not getting much credit for the next thing here, which is, you know, this whole controversial NSA National Security Agency program that was scooping up data on all kinds of Americans, you know, domestic phone records and all Well, what's interesting to me on this is, of course, it was a whistleblower that let us know what the federal government was doing and monitoring us tracking us, etc. President Trump came into office, all of a sudden the NSA decided to destroy years worth of data. It had been collected on Americans because they admitted that some of it was illegal. Well, now that program is up for renewal. And they are concerned that President Trump is not going to renew it, because apparently that's what he's been saying. So we got word from a congressional aide. Now the National Security Agency has stopped their surveillance program, the monitoring all of us Americans, and also apparently this program has not yielded the arrest of even a single person. Although it's probably cost us more than a billion dollars plus our privacy. So interesting, interesting day this morning, Jack Jack 7:00 All right, Craig. Thanks. Good stuff, eh? I appreciate it. Craig Peterson with an O-N. Thank you, Craig. Craig 7:05 Take care. Craig 7:06 Hey, I really enjoy doing these. I get up early I obviously have to do a lot of preparation.

What's happening with that. Britain and some other European countries are moving towards a cashless society. How about ours? What does it mean? We get another warning out from the Secret Service about high tech thieves, and how they're doing remote skimming now of your credit cards. Auto insurance. This came up this week I was chatting with someone. So, I found a really great article on Bloomberg that I shared on my website. We'll be talking about that and what's happening with auto insurance when it comes to these new self-driving cars. Yes, indeed, this is going to be a very big deal especially for those smaller insurance guys who are out there. Ransomware what's happening what's happened to it, why don't we heard as much about it anymore. The National Security Agency NSA, they have halted that surveillance program. We will be talking about that they had that surveillance program that Edward Snowden really got in trouble for. These cameras are designed to spot shoplifters even before they steal. And the whole concept of artificial intelligence came up this week as well when I was chatting with a couple of different radio stations and also a little bit on my show last week. So, let's get started with that. The NSA, we know that they threw a huge net out there, they were doing bulk data collection on U.S. domestic phone records. It was abused apparently by the feds multiple times. It looks like the Obama administration might have abused it as well. And under the so-called USA Freedom Act, which was put in place by the way to replace the act that had been in effect since 911. So, the USA Freedom Act. It requires reauthorization at the end of the year, and President Trump is saying that he doesn't want to extend it. Isn't it interesting how the tables have turned? You know, we've had the Democrats screaming about privacy, about all of these things for so many years. And now it's come out that of course, they are the party of no free speech. Just try and say something against them, see what happens to you. We just had had a case of a guy on campus out at UC Berkeley, getting just cold-cocked right in the face because of his exercise of free speech. And when it comes to free speech, of course, now the Democrats are introducing a law that would put in place an old FCC rule that they had under the Obama administration that actually hurt the development of the internet. Well, I'm sure I'll end up talking about that in a future show as well. But President Trump apparently is not looking to extend it. Not at all. That's according to Luke Murray and he's the National Security Advisor. And what's interesting too, is he's a security adviser to the Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy. Now, this didn't come out of the White House. So, who knows exactly what's going to happen. But the New York Times is reporting on this. CNN is reporting on this and if the left is reporting on it. Well, I guess they want it in place, right. They want to be able to monitor their opponents, their so-called enemies. Well, the NSA last year disclosed it had found technical problems with the program that led to the collection of records on U.S. persons didn't have the authority to collect while da they were collecting absolutely everything. Remember, they said, oh, we're just collecting phone metadata doesn't really matter. It's not a big deal. And then it turned out well, yes, metadata, in fact, can be used to figure out who you are who you're talking to. Where you were, track you around, okay. Very, very big deal to collect that metadata. Well, according to Murray, he said that the administration actually hasn't been using it for the past six months because of problems in which way the information was collected. You remember last year and reported late last year in 2018, that the NSA had destroyed volumes, just tons of the data they had been collecting under the order. Of course, the new Trump administration because you can't monitor people, right? We're supposed to be safe. We're supposed to have privacy in our papers and our persons. It's just crazy how far it's gone. He said, it possibly is collecting information on US citizens the way it was transferred from private companies to the administration after they got to FISA court approval. And we know there have been some serious issues with the FISA court approvals based on what we're starting to hear about the FISA court warrants. And you know me I've been against these all of the time I've called them star-chamber proceedings because there's there's no way to defend yourself. Now it's not quite the same as a grand jury we're obviously you can't defend yourself in a grand jury, either, right and the grand jury You know the old statement that you can indict a ham sandwich with the grand jury. Absolutely true. But when it comes to the grand jury, now it starts the whole legal process and it starts out in the open with the FISA court everything is top secret which is what? It's an absolute probability that we are going to get some abuses of the system, right? Is it that the way that always ends up going so Murray also noted that reauthorizing the program would be challenging he says I'm not actually certainly administration will want to start that the back up where they've been the last six months in other words The Trump administration came in saw the abuses that were occurring, saw the problems with the data and stopped the program. They destroyed a lot of the data that was illegally collected on US citizens, US persons. And they have not been using the data. And you remember testimony on this whole thing from the National Security director in front of Congress saying that they had not indicted a single person. Had not made a single arrest because of the data that had been collected in this program. And yet, there's so much data being collected and stored that it actually drove up the price of hard disks in the United States. Because all of this data was being collected and stored there, most of it in Utah at the point of the mountain. The whole thing is just nuts. You know, anyways, you get me going here on a Saturday morning. Let's move on to another topic here that's going to get me going when it comes to shoplifters and AI Well, you know, artificial intelligence, AI, what it's all about. There's a great article in Bloomberg, you'll find on my website. Okay. It's from Bloomberg. And it's talking about this Japanese startup called VAAK. VAAK has developed what they're calling artificial intelligence software. And this software is designed to look at people to watch the footage. And from that footage, try to hunt for potential shoplifters. We've talked before about some of the programs that are in place, a software that's being used by police departments here in the US and around the world. And the software that is trying to predict where crime is going to occur next. Frankly, pretty darn scary stuff there is no two ways about it. And now this startup is saying that they can use footage from regular security cameras. And what it does is it looks for people who are fidgeting, who are restless, and other potentially suspicious body languages. And I'll go into any detail about what that actually means. But this really does remind me of the movie Minority Report. We keep going back to that, don't we? Where we've got algorithms here instead of the three people who can see into the future. We got algorithms analyzing the security camera footage and then what it does is alert staff about potential thieves and it does it via a smartphone app. So, think about what they've been doing over in Vegas for so long where they're monitoring everybody on the floor the looking for people who are trying to game the gaming system out there. And they have the security guards running around and you do something they don't like and you're going to the very least be ejected Well, in this case, the goal is prevention. And what happens here is if the targets approached and asked if they need help. They found that it's a good chance that the theft never happens. So, they have a smartphone app that the security people are carrying around, the loss prevention people, and they see somebody is looking a little fidgety. The app automatically informs them. They go over and just say Hey, need any help. And that's about all it takes. Now we're talking about real money. Shoplifting costs the global retail industry about $34 billion in lost sales in 2017. It's crazy and that's the biggest shortage source, excuse me, of shrinkage. Of course, there's a lot of shrinkages. It goes out the back door of the store as well. But the biggest one is people who are stealing and that amounts by the way to 2% of revenue. That's a huge chunk of revenue when you get right down to it. And the whole retail industry is known for very narrow, very thin margins. So, when you're talking about 2% of revenue, it's hurting them dramatically. But the other side is if they can stop it that opportunity is absolutely huge. And they're projecting that retailers are going to invest about $200 billion in new tech this year. That's according to Gartner. And they'll probably become more open to embracing technology to meet consumer needs. Interesting stuff isn't it and you know we're being tracked as we walk around the stores our smartphones are being used to track as if you've got an iPhone a more recent iPhone they really can't track you very well, they don't know when you're re-entering the store but this company got founded and funded to the tune of about a half a million dollars and it's the middle of a series A seeking to raise $10 million or more courses all Japanese yen I'm doing quick comparisons and translations in my head, as we're going along, so, we'll see what happens there. And you can expect to be monitored by this software or something very similar to it next time you go shopping because some of this is already out there. And they're using it, the police departments to determine who might be a terrorist. They're comparing our faces to the National Crime NCIC information computer system. Where all of our data is being shared. A lot of states take our drivers licenses and share that information. I still don't have a regular driver's license that has the TSA compatible components on it. Because I don't want the state to keep my picture although that means I have to have a passport as well in order to in order to have that ability to fly. Although I try not to fly, whenever possible. So, let's talk about our cars here for a second and the police and these new autonomous vehicles. By now everybody's heard of Elon Musk, and you've heard of his cars, the Tesla's and and I remember a few years back talking about how Consumer Reports, of course, reports on cars and how they had a very high rating and how the National Transportation Safety Board, when they tested the Tesla Model S for safety, it basically broke their whole system because it performed so well. They had to revise and to change the way they measure the safety of cars because Tesla was just so good. Well, now we've got a few issues with Tesla, first of all, Consumer Reports has put all models of Tesla on their lower, do not buy lists from their top list, which is kind of a shocker. And that's due to the long term effects of owning a Tesla, the longevity. Where part start to fail how expensive they are, if you bought a Tesla you probably notice how crazy expensive the insurance is. Because it's expensive to repair a Tesla. Which I guess makes sense there aren't a lot of them and there aren't dealers everywhere. There's no competitive market for Tesla parts. Now we've got Elon Musk, making a statement that truly got some people concerned. And he's kind of backtracked that statement a little bit. But Elon Musk was talking about how our Tesla's within a year or so, is going to be completely autonomous. They are going to be completely self-driving, even on side roads. And there's debate as to whether or not that's even possible at this point in time that Tesla doesn't have the same sorts of sensors that the other fully autonomous vehicles that are currently on the road being tested. It doesn't have the same types of sensors with LIDAR and other things. So, can they actually do it? And, and that's where he kind of backtracked a little bit. Well, when we have these autonomous vehicles, there are so many questions that come up, and we're going to talk about two of them right now. One of them is should police have the ability to control your self-driving car? Bloomberg published a story last Wednesday about how our autonomous vehicle should interact with law enforcement. Because there was a story that came out back in December 2018 about a driver who fell asleep behind the wheel of a Tesla with his autopilot engaged. And apparently, the driver was drunk I guess is what was going on. But at any rate, he fell asleep. So, that Tesla is driving down the highway and the police are trying to pull it over and they cannot pull it over. So, they're trying to figure out what what-what do we do here, the drivers intoxicated, he's falling asleep behind the wheel, the cars driving down the highway at whatever speed was driving at the time. This is a problem that autonomous vehicle manufacturers are going to have to address. And it's also something Law enforcement going to have to try and figure out as well. Now it's one thing if it's a completely autonomous vehicle, you look at some of those stuff like Mercedes has, there's no steering wheel, there's no driver you get in where you are "fall on the floor" drunk or you are wide awake, working on business stuff, you have no responsibility to control the car. The car can be pre-programmed to take you somewhere which would happen in the case of like a like an almost a taxi service saying, pick me up here. Drop me off there and off it goes. Right. That's what Uber is aiming for. We have also privately owned vehicles and we can do this thing like Take me home. And so the car just takes you home, right? And life hopefully is good. Well, should the car be monitoring you? If you're vomiting? Should the car redirect itself to the hospital should it be monitoring your pulse and respiration, to know that, hey, you just had a heart attack, I need to take you to the hospital. You know, how far does the responsibility of the autonomous vehicle and it's manufacturer and software developer, how far does that responsibility actually extend. Very, very good questions here and man, we are going to have some fun as time goes forward as we try and answer these. So, going back to December 2018, you got a drunk driver in a Tesla sound asleep. Normally what would happen that car would be involved in a wreck. Someone else might be terribly injured. A whole family might be killed. Heaven knows that It's happened before. Now that cars just driving down the road all by itself and the police officer notices the guys asleep. So what they did is the police went and blocked the car in. So they got in front of the car. They got behind the car. They got beside the car on both sides. And they just slowed down. And the Tesla sensors said okay, was nothing I can do here. I have to slow down I can't change lanes. And so the Tesla ended up stopping which makes sense, right. But should that Tesla notice those flashing lights? Should that Tesla have had the ability for the police officers to say, stop and pull over, Right? How far should have been able to go? and if that car has the smarts to stop for flashing light, what's to stop a bad guy from just using the strobe in their car to have, you know the car in front of them pull over. So, that they can molest someone or what whatever it is the bad guy wants to do. And even if it's not based on the flashing lights, which it would kind of have to be, initially. Because we're not going to have the control systems in the police vehicles, but if the police vehicles now do have those control systems and they can pull the car over with just a remote command. Wants to say that again, the bad guys aren't going to try and hack those. So, very murky legal territory. If you own that car, should the police have the ability and the right to control that car and how far should that go? Particularly, if that vehicle and or the driver of the vehicle is not doing anything illegal? So? you're just driving down the road everything's wonderful. You are being all the speed limits all of the traffic signs, you are not being erratic, you're not zooming past people. Should the police be able to pull you over at that point? Kind of goes back to, I guess, the checkpoint things, right? Should you have to stop at a sobriety checkpoint even though you know that you are sober. and I don't like those personally either, because even though I never drink and drive, and I've never been drunk, even though that that has never happened to me, I still resent these things because it is truly an invasion of privacy. Very interesting questions, Isn't it? Very interesting. We already have police departments that have these remote controlled little race car type things that they can launch from underneath their car. And what happens is they drive it underneath the car in front of them. So, it's this little, think of this little RC cars, you know that you had remote control cars, that you're driving out there. Well, they have in the middle do 80 miles an hour. So, it goes right up under your car and then it sets off an electromagnetic pulse, which of course shut off your engine if you're driving a modern car. And now your engine shut off and you have to stop because there's no engine anymore, right? Should they be allowed to do that? Well, they're already doing that in some jurisdictions. Now we got another point here when we're talking about self-driving cars and I think friends of mine that are in the insurance business and I start getting really kind of worried. A Tesla Model X in Southern California. If you were to buy that, the insurance premium at least this is a few years ago, was about $10,000 a year. Now, I mentioned already why Tesla's are so expensive? Because they're very expensive to fix. You can get into a five mile an hour accident, a fender bender basically in the Tesla and it can cost you five to 10 grand to get that fixed. Okay. It's a very big deal, but there's also the limited self-driving, what they call autopilot mode on the autonomous vehicles. Now, there are more and more sensors that are getting built into these things, but the underwriters and the actuaries are trying to figure out, how do they handle this new type of risk before it was you, you were in control, and either your equipment failed. And you know, your brakes didn't work, you couldn't steer your tire blew out, whatever it might be, and they know what those numbers look like because they've got a century-plus worth of data. Simple enough, right? Well, how about you as a driver? Well, they've got information on you as well and nowadays are using credit checks and everything else, which I think is nuts in order to come up with your insurance rate. But they've got all of this data and there's very few Model X's on the road. So, how do they figure that out? And then the bigger question when we start looking at this, it was addressed. This is really great, Deloitte, you probably familiar with that company, in 2019 insurance outlook report, they said the rise of connectivity has generated a massive amount of real-time data and turned the insurer's relationship with policyholders from static and transactional to dynamic and interactive. So, what this means is basically everything has changed. We're now transitioning that transitions is just starting now. If your autonomous vehicle is in an accident, who's responsible? Do you even need to have insurance anymore? No, you might have medical insurance, you might have some sort of collision insurance kind of a gap insurance sort of thing for you. For your medical expenses or for the medical expenses of other people in your vehicle. But even then, who should be responsible for the medical expenses, because the tables we have right now that the insurance companies are using to figure out our liability and how much they should be charging us, those are based on more than 90% of accidents are caused by human error. So, if you take the driver out of the equation when it comes to the accident itself. We're talking about big changes for insurers because 90% of that whole market transaction is changing. So, this is absolutely huge. They're forecasting trouble for insurers as automation becomes more widespread. Premiums could drop, they're saying maybe 12% or so by 2035. I think they should probably drop more than that. But who carries the insurance is the person who owns the vehicle? Is it the person who's in the vehicle operating it? quote unquote, even though they may not even have a steering wheel. Is it the manufacturer of the car, that should be liable? Is it the people who wrote the software? Is the company that was contracted to write the software? And remember, there isn't just one piece of software, there are dozens of computers and I mean, dozens and dozens and dozens of computers in a modern car, each one of them could fail. Is that the manufacturer of the CANBUS or whatever the buses all of these computers are using to talk to each other? Who has the liability? So, as automation levels in these cars reach level.s four and five, where you have complete fully autonomous, no human involvement. Insurance is going to change dramatically. So, what about the local guy that's been selling new insurance for your vehicle, forever? Isn't that interesting? You're still going to have some insurance I'm sure that's never going to go away but in this case, the driver won't be the risky part. The liability is really going to migrate to the manufacturer. The licensees of the software. It's just going to change. Nationwide is one insurance company that's starting to think about the problem and I'm sure, frankly, all of them are but Nationwide's come up with some interesting stuff. So, check out online Craig Peterson dot com, you are going to find an article here that you've got to read. This is from QZ dot com. Britain is moving to a cashless society. So, what happens to poor people who don't have bank accounts, credit cards. Who doesn't have access to that? Sweden already is a great example of how not to get rid of cash. Most of the banks in the country of Sweden don't accept paper money or coins. Same things true of a lot of restaurants and stores, even public toilets. How about the elderly. The poor, people with handicaps. Okay, what's going to happen Unknown 27:00 of them in cash isn't available. Got to think about all of this stuff. The government likes the idea because it's easier for them to track and make sure people aren't cheating. But on the other hand, I'm not sure that this is such a great idea. And you know me, right. I am a cash kinda guy. Anyhow, have a great day we will be back next week and tune in every day if you're not already on my podcast.
