  Speaker 1: Let's get to a question for American mama's. Dear mamas,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I hate my new car. It's all digital screens. I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: want the physical buttons and knobs back.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Mama mama.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: And joining us now our American mama Terry Netteville. Okay,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: so my mama is driving across country right now. My
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: mom and dad are on a country Yeah, they're going
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: up to West Point in New York and uh, they're
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: in a Tesla and my mom hates it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: She does.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: She texts me almost every single day telling me how
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: much she hates the car because of all the screens
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and the technical and and then just to worry about
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: finding a place to charge the car. She hates it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I have a Dodge Challenger and it's got, you know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: buttons and knobs and stuff, and I love that.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Ye are are you which I'm with your mom? You?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm with your mom. You hate you hate the
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I well, I mean technology. I'm not the most savvy
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: in that carea anyway, so you have to understand that.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: But there's a couple of reasons. So when we flew
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: to Knoxville a couple of weeks ago. We they have
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: these things where you can rent a car from somebody, sure,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: and we rented some fancy car and we did not
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: know what to do in that car.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: It was too complicated. We figured it out.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I probably wouldn't have if Kevin hadn't been there, But
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: we figured it out, and it wasn't fun.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: It was not fun to drive because it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Was like, you're you know, if I wanted the air conditioner,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: You're like trying to figure out what, okay, what do
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: a lot of times you just have to talk to
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the car. And when I got my new car, I
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: got a new car about a year ago. You're supposed
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: to be able to talk to the car and say, hey,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I need I need you to try the air conditioner
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: own or I've never been able to get her to
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Never, not one time. So here's another reason.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Another reason is because even though I know you think
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I'm a conspiracy theorist, okay, well, and also a lot
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: of those have come true. But one of the things,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: one of my conspiracy conspiracy theories that was brought to
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: my attention is that China owns a lot of these
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: computer chips they'll go into these new cars. It scared
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: me because I thought, if we ever get into any
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: kind of war with them, they can just put punch
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a button and our cars will go down. So we
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: did something about it. We didn't know that's what we
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: were doing. We did it. Kevin has a nineteen eighty
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: seven black Chevrolet step side.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, he's got it truck.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of looks like an old Sanford and Sun truck.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: He hates when I say that, but many people throughout
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: the years have wanted to buy that truck.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Well, Kevin, I left in that truck when we got married.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Summer got married a couple of years ago, and she
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: wanted and the car was broken down, the truck was
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: broken down. She said, I would love for Philip and
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: me to be able to leave in that same truck
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: that you and Dad did. Well, of course, Kevin's like, well,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I've got to do it for her, knowing it was
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: really for him getting souped up again. But I told
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: the kids, I said, listen, let me tell you something.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: If the world goes crazy and all of your cars
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and the computer chips in it, if it.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Goes down, stay where you are.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: We're gonna be coming through with our nineteen eighty seven
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: black Chevrolet truck. We're gonna pick all of you up
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: because they can't shut us down, and we'll bring you
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: back home. But I really do love the fact that
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: we have a vehicle that you can that cannot be.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: It's not connected to the controlled yes, yeah.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Or satellite.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: And if you break down to these smart cars, you
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: can't put it in neutral.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: You're stuck. It's done.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: So the tow truck now comes through because that has
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: happened to me.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: It is and they have to put her on a flapbed.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: They can't toe it. They have to like lift it
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and carry it away.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: But here's where I'm disagreeing with your mother, and I'm
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: more on your side.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: All right, we were my side.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I have a nineteen, I have a cars got bought.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: But you love this stuff. You're technology savvy, so you
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: love this son.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Know if I necessarily like the Tesla's but that's okay.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Well I don't even like the shape of the Tesla,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: so that could be my problem. But okay.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: So when we were getting Slade moved in this past
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: few days at SMU in Dallas Law School, there was
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: a car driving I think it might have been an uber.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: There was nobody driving the car. The car had all
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: of these like mirrors and cameras and things, and I
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: was just oh my gosh, Oh my god. And it
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: was driving people everywhere. So I said, oh my gosh,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: what would happen? Though I don't know if I'd like that,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: because what would happen if a car comes too close
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: or gets in front of you?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: And he said, well, it's supposed to know when to
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: And I said, I bet it's safer to be in
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: that vehicle than somebody that's texting and driving.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And the data shows that those self driving vehicles are
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: much safer than human driven vehicles crashes and especially in
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: terms of fatalities, I'm not surprised. And there may be
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: actually a those. Every time one of those gets in
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: even a small little fendo, under a small little scrape,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it gets reported, whereas a lot of times when people
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: get into a small thing that they're cable to drive away,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: they just drive away. Both parties go, okay, we'll just
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: we're not going to report this to anybody. So there
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: actually may be an over reporting of the small accidents
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and an underreporting of the human done small accidents. So
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that may me messing with the data.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Well, and think about this, Think about this, and let's
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: say you know, fifteen twenty years from now, the people
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: will all be driving these cars.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: The cars will be driving all these people themselves. It
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: will be the safest way. And you'll have children saying,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, my go go. And Papa used to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: have to stay up all night and drive. Now so
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to sleep, just give the car can.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Get there, like ask car American Mama's a question. Go
