Tangible Tech Steve Sande

It's been a while since the last episode of Tangible Tech, and we have a good one for you. A lot of us are fascinated by the idea of self-driving cars, and in this episode your host Steve Sande looks into the present and future of this technology. Steve's crystal ball is pointing towards the late 2020s before we see a lot of self-driving cars on the roads around the world, but in this podcast we look at the 5 levels of automation and what they entail...and what it's going to take to get to Level 5.

Tangible Tech podcaster Steve Sande is not only a science and tech guy, but he's a licensed drone pilot. When he's out flying, one of the common questions he gets from bystanders is "How the (#&$ do those things fly without having wings, a rudder, and that other stuff you see on airplanes?"

In this episode of the Tangible Tech podcast, Steve explains how quadcopters (those drones you see just about everywhere) are able not only to take off and land, but do some pretty amazing maneuvers as well.

Don't worry; you won't need a degree in aerospace engineering to understand what Steve's saying, just an imagination and your hand... You'll understand what I'm saying once you listen to the podcast. 😀
