Mike Carruthers: 飞行汽车并非遥不可及,早在1956年就已获得认证,只是当时的飞行汽车性能不佳且价格昂贵。 Nicole Kobie: 许多看似应该已经实现的技术,例如飞行汽车,其在实验室环境下可行,但在现实世界中却面临诸多挑战,难以完美实现。早期飞行汽车设计缺陷导致其既不适合公路驾驶也不适合空中飞行,且价格昂贵,因此未能普及。目前无人驾驶汽车技术已取得进展,但在与有人驾驶汽车共用道路方面仍存在限制。无人驾驶汽车技术发展历程中经历了多种技术尝试,未来可能出现新的技术突破。将无人驾驶技术逐步应用于现有汽车,可以提升现有汽车的安全性。人们普遍谈论的AI并非指通用人工智能或超级人工智能,后者才是人们真正担忧的对象。通用人工智能潜在的风险在于其目标与人类目标可能冲突,可能导致不可预测的灾难性后果。目前机器人技术发展迅速,但人们对人形机器人的期望与实际技术水平之间存在差距。目前的人形机器人技术水平有限,其动作需要大量编程才能实现。智慧城市的概念并非简单的将所有城市系统数字化,还需要考虑城市居民的行为模式。智慧城市概念中一些小的技术应用,例如智能垃圾桶,可以提高城市管理效率。尽管一些技术尚未实现,但我们已经拥有许多令人惊叹的技术,改善了我们的生活。 Mike Carruthers: 无人驾驶汽车与有人驾驶汽车共用道路存在技术难题,需要汽车之间能够互相沟通。

Groceries are expensive. So, if you would like a simple yet effective technique to cut your grocery bill down, listen to the start of this episode to discover exactly how. Source: Eat This Not That by David Zinczenko (https://amzn.to/3ZKjVs6).)

For decades many of us have looked forward to flying cars, real human-like robots, smart cities, driverless cars and other technologies. Yet, they just never quite seem to get here. Why is that? Well, that is exactly what Nicole Kobie is here to explain and discuss. Nicole is a technology and science journalist and a contributing editor for Wired. She is author of the book The Long History of the Future: Why Tomorrow's Technology Still Isn't Here (https://amzn.to/3Bg3z0d).)

It is hard to imagine life without your teeth. You use them to eat, to talk and they are an important part of your appearance. Still, some animals have no teeth while other creatures grow new ones when the old ones fall out. There is a lot you likely don’t know about teeth that I know you will find fascinating when you listen to my guest, Bill Schutt. He is a zoologist and author of six books. His research has been published in Natural History magazine, The New York Times, Newsday, the Economist, and Discover. His latest book is titled, Bite: An Incisive History of Teeth, from Hagfish to Humans (https://amzn.to/3zvSVSK).)

Paying down your debt is considered good for your financial health. It appears to also be good for your physical health. Listen as I reveal some interesting research that shows the health benefits of lowering the amount you owe. https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2013/08/high-debt-could-be-hazardous-to-your-health/)
