Welcome once again to the breakfast here on PLOS TV Africa We're going straight to off the press where we have a review of the major stories making headlines across Nigeria this morning I'll start with the Nigerian Tribune and of course I say good morning to Chris Wandoo publisher of CKN news Thank you very much for joining us sir Thank you very much for having me. Good morning. Good morning to you So let's start with the Nigerian Tribune should be in your screen in just a few seconds And we can get to share some of these Major stories. Yes, sir. You have it. It says Supporters and oba's throng Kotonu court as the both trial holds behind closed doors ghani Adams rallies Ben I guess this has been a Monax a fenifereal Lord Zulu Bada and Oni Too killed as bandits abducted two soldiers traditional ruler Doctor's wife and over 60 passengers in Bernou, Kaduna, Sokoto and Benui Also 124 civil society groups threatened nationwide protest over a amended electoral act 49 Euroban nation agitators docked over led murder and unlawful assembly Tension in Anambra Commercial activities grounded in a boujah over namdekanus trial DSS fails to produce him in court trial adjourned till 21st of October Kinsman raise alarm over his health and I also IPOB six assess to him PDP governor's meeting Balchi insist on electronic transmission of results without new constitution failed leaders will emerge again in 2023 Bowery signs 982.7 billion Naira supplementary budget heads for London for education summit and medicals and Also, Kaduna suspend school resumption indefinitely for more Baptist students freed Or gonna use block East West Road in mother of all protest against neglect by the federal government Away from the tribune. Let's go to the nation newspapers this morning Police chase away both men from Ben Noir court George sends agitator back to custody this on the nation newspapers this morning George others Canada remain in DSS custody Now failure to produce him pushes trial till October Supporters arrested and freed daughter of amoteco operative abducted in undo We can also find on the nation this morning investors stake 253 billion Naira in private markets 526 die of cholera in 18 states and US report says 305,000 Nigerians are refugees Bowery in UK on two weeks official and medical trip while two soldiers and 60 travelers abducted Tamboal says corrupt TDP chiefs joining APC and That's on the nation this morning moving on now. Let's see what the punch newspapers has for us PDP governors APC clash Forum carpets federal government over killings and massive rigging plot opposition governors rebuke Bowery regime Allerging competence stifling economy PDP a failed party sinking Governors are communicating tissues of lies as the APC Also this morning Kanu supporters storm court celebrate as DSS fails to produce IPOB leader Battle rages over a boo-hoo's bill been a been a court in the marathon session and woman cries out as girl 12-year-old goes missing Hawking granades in undo Asso grumbles over inconsistency in salaries falls IPP is again Still on the punch federal government shifts data vaccine arrival delta variant jumps to 10 and Bowery's clamped down on freedom fighters Borders on ethnic Cleanson says a fennefair Nigeria's revenue to GDP ratio lowest private sector choking says assess the World Bank And I think I can squeeze just one more from the punch this morning Reps want NIMASA NSITF officials prosecuted by the EFCC I'll quickly just share one few from the Guardian and then we can go to our guest on the Guardian this morning Cano's absence forces three months delay court deters on Igbo Ho's fate Um Writer's to that stories say I made heavy security DSS blames Kanu's absence on logistics difficulties IPOB leader drugs Nigeria and Kenya to African Rights Commission six returned to the UK IPOB to DSS produce Kanu to prove to prove he's not dead And also PDP governors insist on electronic transmission of election results reject direct primaries Pretty much the same stories across the papers. Mr. Wanda. Good morning once again Thanks for joining us the I think we will start with the name the candle and Sunday Bohor controversy Namdy kind of first of all the DSS failing to produce him Trial moved all the way till October What's your response to that? This is not a color yesterday to me was laughing when you talk about logistics What do you know about it? I think they are talking about I'm covering you are not to provide an authority Then they are being with the federal court to list them And this is only 10 media assets to conduct or that way We'll be present Don't know to do that So for me it's very loud and that does not create us as a very serious in the moment People if you are a rest somewhere, and you know that it has me for the year The Is your part to be able to do that And the no-sense of the business to me is there as I mentioned here on this laughing Then we also the action of preventing the defendants The lawyers of the county from assessing the court. They saw the drama that makes And in most of the video we saw We defend and we are supposed to be As we have been to the court and that to me was When a democracy as I said I've only said and then this is not yet to regime. We are people just When it comes to position of search I'm not with you too much of that Everything is done right some to give the pressure that Some people are indisputable. So if we are bringing such a thought and you are not able to allow Lawyers to defend them That is a That's a big problem then for that we also Store the kind of Why would you join around the case for things that would be also for months because we were told that Initially that The lawyer said that he's going to be an accelerated into the case So why why are they to I'm not a remorse. What about the ones you see that they are conducting Investigation is it as a study is I I knew is it um, there are issues that need to go back. I thought that this would have been a Very very it have been given in later here The three months that to me is also personal But the court has them. This is really not that unless we're on the 22nd to trust about what happens Okay. Well, um There's also a story of the president jetton off to the uk once again for an education summit and also for health Checks. Yes. Um, you don't forget that the president was to travel a few weeks back But for certain reason didn't make it at the last moment Then I think it's taking the privilege of this summit this educational summit going in London So go for that and I'll have that Go for his medica The I don't have any educational summit If it's not going to be officially tonight. Why not? But the issue of the president going on Check out To me is what is the big voice on to me because I thought back now Would have our first class Hostos in Nigeria that can bring them to any issue with the president So that's not to be People with a euro his daughter in London Uh, I think that the music now that we're able to handle issue of Our headset so I was supposed to be Because for now All around Nigeria But at any point in time every individual To That um, that's what I have you know is what we uh, we had animal some The president is Very important to us anything that can be done To make sure that president That is also Like that's money And definitely president In foreign And in the situation we are working about Not having enough in our foreign results every single A month that can be safe should be there both of you know that that's what privilege That is equal to accept It is It's unique to a bicycle we call for a motorcycle And but if it's similar than that we also be looking at the transmission of Power to the vice president herself Restrainting the constitution. Yeah, all right on the Nigerian Tribune. This one there's a story from Kaduna state that says Kaduna suspends school resumption Indefinitely and also announces that four more of the Bethel Baptist school students have been found Information that we received say they were picked up by a couple of people and that Even one of the people who rescued one of the students still demanded to be paid before he releases the young boy But of course, you know, this has greatly affected Schooling in Kaduna states Um, what's your response to how the government has handled it so far? We want you to say it out separately that The way I manage that the governor state government suddenly the issue on the tree and the kidnapping For me Is not good enough If we say that you're not going to negotiate with That as a state government The people So We can see that those students Are the weeks that they They call the first bandwidth and you can see how good they are and it's only 28 there at least We say about 87 I have seen with the band is not that we're saying for a case to stay about by a three And if I was going to say that Which give us the pressure those that we agree that those that That special someone calls her so those that back there those that They're breaking up So that kind of hitting is not good for us. I think any humane person To make those students There are some that were kidnapped from an Islamic school and so the other of them Stayed in the bush. We can know what the parents goes through to realize his child is in the hands of bands That is where we find ourselves and that is the situation with ourselves And we just say that You know, it's on the nation and I think on the guardian saying that two soldiers and 60 other travelers were abducted And that's the story that Chris Wander is referring to this morning We can also quickly speak on Nigeria's cholera outbreak. It says 526 on the nation 526 die of cholera in 18 states and About 22,000 cases recorded Should this be a national issue at this point? In particular, I think the last time I heard I think that it is this already and 526 people have died That is much done Not only reported in the last two months and they were postage money into the into the 19th I think the federal minister of held the And the relevant is should not be able to assist This cholera is very very dangerous disease that Thanks for the purpose of what they can keep doing for us and Hygiene And water So For our while we're looking to read and challenges There's another disease that is a since killing our people at the highway and But that got mentioned to something good if I got met at state ministry of And held and to able to just enough artists. It has 58 How relevant is the pdp governors insisting on electronic transmission of Results and also rejecting direct primaries Do you think that that might still have any effect with the next general elections? Well, the The And my wife's men at the national assembly Have made up their mind who wants And I doubt if the pdp governors have anything to say Um, I call them this man because it seems to me that all of us If the major engineers are saying that is the way to go and the wise who he kept and where he said to represent us are saying This is the age the other way to get them is we're working at first But For me That And I think that Any I think that is Because the Is If you do not please Survivor on the how another ages could make an easy. What is this you get to do with a election? That is taken into account. Don't forget that also the Shona in charge of art education came up to say that before that It was passing to that they had a meeting with a national assembly And It was a great that yes That this thing can be translated and they say it is possible that this can be done So why would the national assembly go back on the promise that The meeting was they had and in agreement to be if not for I don't believe that some people have some Indian idea to work in t23 and That's you could see what happens The local government has a head in the legacy them But we see two days ago where you so people are just doing to work. That's what we're supposed to work was completing a pretty circle We must have seen views In that is going to be So I am can go to cost to change those provisions And I'm sure that Yeah, so wonder still on this topic before we move to something else Where do you think we have a challenge with regards the connection between the The people and their representatives Because I don't know if you know majority of Nigerians Or if the national assembly has spoken the the minds of majority of Nigerians because I believe that's what they should be there to Do they're there to represent the people and interpret what the people wants So, you know, if they've taken this decision, is that what the people are saying or does it matter what the people are saying here? The first question you should ask is how we are doing the elect That is the question. Did you elect most of them? If that is the if you have another that that sure They don't represent my constancy Most of them are going to the constancy I can tell you So You know But those Or the I believe that this is more of a selfish agenda rather than that of the people Most of them are that he's going to be an electronic solution of results Most of them we don't get protected Because it is known those elections You are talking of um criminalizing Who does this who snatches Malo but it was not follow-up So if we can be talking about 10 or 20 years If we want to Which is talking about follow-up So there is a lot of disconnect between Those that we say we are repeating us in the assembly and those that represent They are not hearing what they want and that is why when I said the wise man I saw you laughing at that time I said The wise man All right, I'm going to put two stories, you know side by side with my next question Um earlier on my top trending discussion. I spoke about Paso Tunde Bakare A video that was released. I believe yesterday Shared his views on the current administration And of course stated that, you know, Nigeria will survive the current administration and a new Nigeria will be birthed He also of course shared his maybe anger with the current administration and how he They don't seem to you know take counsel from him anymore, you know after he You know was part of the force that brought them into power But something that he mentioned was the Nigeria for Nigeria Movement, which he says is coming It says it's going to be different from the save Nigeria group Is uh save Nigeria movement, you know from 2014 2015. This was called Nigeria for Nigeria But I want to share something from the Nigerian Tribune this morning It's from Afair Babalala. It says without a new constitution failed leaders will emerge again in 2023 So I want you to put this side by side because earlier I had said that, you know, however the Nigeria for Nigeria movement is painted Um, however, it's you know, whoever it is, you know that decides that they want to lead that if that person Doesn't come with the knowledge that a new constitution You know needs to be birthed with the fact that there has to be some level of restructuring That there have to be certain changes in order to build, you know, a better Nigeria Then it might be, you know Very much similar to what we've had in the past and nothing different will change Whoever it is that takes over that position in 2023 So I want you to put these two side by side Do you believe that, you know, according to Afair Babalala without a new constitution failed leaders will want to get emerge in 2023 And can we have a new Nigeria somehow some way without these Things being put in place First and foremost, with sense of the liberty of the restructuring I personally take the past of Dundee Bakar And to say a personal opinion Past of Dundee, very close, both from the court Even at any given point of time Um, he of the same Nigeria for the group and we saw what happened at Ujjota Um, just over an ordinary hike of um, I chose the petroleum products there We've had worse chance now I would have expected, um, past of Dundee Bakar now to have also used kind of, uh, because they have a nice Nigerians to also put against not just the government, not the government The high level of insecurity going on Nigeria now It's not just by just, we have serious security challenges and the area we've been in before and make Nigeria If, if past of Dundee Bakar rises up today and there are today and lies Nigeria and say They talk to this Abad This is what they have to do They don't even forget Abad, the, the, the love and those that are there I'm talking of the gaping of all the people that is going on Nigerians we come and support that But, um, what is happening Abad? He was taught by somebody in God that, you know, that he started talking You know, you come, you come after him and that was to me, let's go They're going to revert the senior advocates of Nigeria Afibaba, La La La Yes, we have been talking about constitution and the need for us to have a new constitution Most of us have given that the present constitution as we have cannot work It was the constitution that was given us by the military Although they say we're Nigerians, we're Nigerians I mean of course Adam to Abad the constitution and good for, uh, and How many of us took part in that? It was the constitution that was given to us by the military But instead of the current, uh, yes, the National Assembly spoke to, uh, and made men of this constitution Personally, I agree that it should totally do away with the future And part of the problem having is the constitution Most people still believe that that constitution will capture the essence of a unity as a The agitation that is, you know, not just the election, you know The agitation that is going on now is that we have a high level of imbalance within the constitution We are certain part of the country don't see themselves as talking to the To the country have any sense of the longest, why you see the people who are sending them their carload And every other person agitation So if we can be able to have a working constitution that we're able to take care of All this, all this problem that we have, we have a better, um, society But the way it's structured now, the 1999 constitution as I mean Is not addressing The issues as it and we continue to have this problem Especially when we invest such power, we invest in the federal government To the detriment of this and local government is not going to Over, over 5% of 51% of the resources that we go to the federal government Whereas the local government and the state government But for 10 or 48% It is not is working So and you can see that so much power is on the federal government on the exclusives In the exclusives, the last thing is that the government cannot do all that government We are talking of state pussy Federal government in charge of policing We are talking that that should make you push to centralize yourself we can have So it is a big bet you should start on we bet Good enough the national assembly is um Is trying to put up some level of men I don't see how that Well, don't need a piece in a amendment. We need a totally new constitution. So I totally agree with Um, jim part of our la la or that point that part of our problem is the constitution we are in But over and over that our leaderships, our leaders are also part of our problem Just not just constitution you can have the constitution is for if you have it does not be Already to respect and you are good back to square one All right, and uh, you can also quickly share your thoughts on uh, the sunday boho Uh issue in uh, been a republic Um, you know, he was of course once again, uh, the sunday boho is right actually, um, yes By uh hours After that he was sent back to kept in custody I think they will assume that I think a lot of it's not just but I think a lot of Manopra going on The sunday boho case have just has gone beyond just meanwhile nice political anguish so I think that is was holding on. I don't whether it's Nigeria Nigeria is trying to make sure that he's uh treated back to Nigeria To face charges best. I've already There is no court in Nigeria That has someone who he will not have any case any So even if it's going to be who comes back today You'll be going back as a friction as the federal going to now charge him For certain offenses, but there is no unlike the count of the house A minor case in court sunday boho does not have any criminal case In any Niger court, we should be able to talk about the situation as it were and um The court is being made by especially the office of certain community For them to go to pen and But the other aspect of it I don't also like is why we did better government budget is from um that process That to mismatch I didn't like Nigeria That also bad Certain media has been covering Did not decadent Well, let's see how this goes. I'm sure the next few days. You know where it's on that case is going to take All right, Chris one do publisher ckn news. Thank you so much for your time this morning. Thanks for starting about tuesday morning With us. It was your great day ahead Thank you very much. We do have a nice you too 27th of uh, July We're going to be going back in history to 1949 and to 2019 To tell you a little bit of what happened on this day in history just before our first major conversation on the breakfast this morning Stay with us


Hello, welcome back on my YouTube channel. In today's video I'm going to demonstrate how to create an interactive 3D presentation with cesium stories. This tutorial on the cesium website is very useful for that. I'll provide the link in the description of this video. I assume that you already have a cesium ion account and that you're logged in. Then you'll see the stories tab where you can click new story to add a new story. The main screen shows a globe and on the left panel you see your slides which are basically points that you zoom into. For each slide you can type a title and in the info box you can add text, pictures and hyperlinks. Under assets you can control the 3D and 2D assets that you can add there and some are already available for you. For this demonstration I'll use the Google Photorealistic 3D tiles. You can also control the slide duration. In this video I'm going to talk about climate adaptation in Rotterdam. So we're going to turn the globe towards Europe. The default slide starts over US. I click new slide and I can simply delete the previous slide. Click on it and then the trash bin. Choose delete slide. So this is our first slide which is just an overview of Europe. Let's add a title and some text in the info box that introduces the topic. In the map canvas you immediately see the result. Let's also add a picture of the city. And also the picture shows up in the preview. You can use the search bar to search for places. So I search here for Rotterdam and it will zoom into Rotterdam. That will be my next slide. So I click new slide. Add a title. Add some text in the info box about the background of Rotterdam. Next we zoom into the next location where we want to tell something. Then click new slide. This will capture the current view. Now you can already test the flow of your presentation. So click on each slide and it will navigate to the view points that you have set. So let's also add information for this view. I'm adding a few more in the same way. Of course it's more interesting to tilt the landscape. So we can really see the 3D photo realistic buildings. So it's best to use only the left and right mouse button and not the scroll. I feel that navigating with the scroll gets you sometimes very lost. So this works fine and this could be our next view. And I'll add the information after adding the new slide. And let's move to the next point and repeat the procedure. Click new slide and fill in the title in the info box. Here I'll demonstrate how easy it is to add a hyperlink. So I select the text that I want to get linked and I simply copy the link there. Click save and now this is changed into a URL. And you see the result also in the preview. So I think these are enough slides for our demonstration here. So I changed the title to climate adaptation in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. And then I'm ready to present the result. You can click present. It will open a new tab and load your presentation. In the lower left you can see some controls. And with the arrow buttons of our keypad we can move through our slides. You see some controls here. So on the left control we can quickly go to a view. And if we click this button it will turn into a self-controlled slideshow which uses the transition times that you have set here, that's 5 seconds and it will automatically move to the next slide. If you click this button you can measure things in the screen like distances and heights or coordinates. You can control the units under settings. Here we choose metric units. And finally you can share your presentation, choose enable sharing and it will provide a link. This is a public link that you can use on social media or send it to your friends. And if I open the link here in my browser it will go to my presentation which is similar to the preview that I just showed. So I hope this was useful for you and that you have learned how to create nice interactive 3D presentations with cesium stories. If you like these videos please subscribe to my YouTube channel.


So good morning to all of you. My name is Sanjay Dhawan. My focus for the next 20, 25 minutes would be to basically talk about what is happening in the automotive space and how display and user interfaces and human machine interfaces are playing a very important role in the way the car is getting more and more connected and autonomous. Before I start, just a quick introduction to our company. So I'm with Harman. Harman used to be a publicly traded company. Recently, we were required, and I'll talk about that as well in a minute. We're a market leader in providing the audio, video, control, and infotainment systems, both that you use in your daily consumer devices, in your homes, and so on and so forth, or in large venues like this. So these huge humongous speakers are JBL, which are Harman products. The stapled center next door is powered by Harman. And we are also number one in providing the infotainment systems that go inside the car. So this is the large screen, which is basically providing you all the infotainment and connectivity and other functions, basically. And we're a number one company in that space, a global company with almost 33,000 employees worldwide. Recently, about a month ago, a month and a half ago, we announced that Samsung is acquiring Harman. So as of today, we're Samsung now. Samsung, as you all know, 20 years back, got into the consumer device space and displaced the leaders at that time and became the number one consumer device company. About 10 years back, they entered the mobile space and also became one of the leading mobile device manufacturer in the world. Recently, they basically decided that they want to get into the automotive space, because a lot of trends from consumer to mobile is getting more and more into the car. And I'll talk more about that as I proceed in my presentation. And they decided this time that instead of doing it organically, they want to do it inorganically by acquiring a company. And they chose to acquire Harman. So as of March 10, Harman is the fourth new automotive division of Samsung. I think the goal here basically is that the combination of Samsung and Harman were basically using that to enable the new vehicle of tomorrow, the new car, which is being architected for 2020 and beyond, is going to be extremely complicated with lots of new technologies inside it. We already are basically seeing the emergence of the car getting more and more connected with its own telematics unit, with its own central compute platform, which basically has a huge amount of capabilities to process a lot of different data, which is being generated inside the car, has multiple different displays for instrument cluster to assist the driver, the infotainment displays, other rear seat displays, and so on and so forth. But more importantly is also integrating new technologies like the one that we heard about in the previous talk. We're working on bringing in AR with navigation inside the car.  But tomorrow, using a front-facing camera inside the car, you'll be basically able to get the actual camera feed and the navigation instructions, which are going to be augmented on your maps. So you can basically see the actual rendering of where you are going and so on and so forth, including the street names, the numbers of various different building numbers, and so on and so forth. Autonomous is another key area, which basically is requiring us to build some amazing amount of compute and other capacity inside the car. And I think displays and how the driver interacts with and the passengers interact inside an autonomous car is another area where the display industry can really help the automotive OEMs and companies like ours. So in terms of the key mega trends which are transforming the cars, I've listed six of those here. It starts with smart audio. One of the areas which is improving and playing a very important role inside the car. A lot of interactions are becoming voice-oriented. Natural language plays a very important role in giving those interactions inside the car, basically. So instead of having knobs or touch screens and creating distractions for the driver, audio and voice is going to play a very important role. Cockpits are getting more and more converged today. In a typical car, we have an instrument cluster. We have our infotainment screen. And we also have our mobile phone inside the car. And we as drivers are typically interacting with three of these screens when we are driving. In a typical, when you are driving on a freeway, at 65 miles an hour, if you don't look forward for four seconds, your car has basically traveled the length of a football field. So that's how important it is for all the drivers to basically always be looking forward. And I think cockpit convergence where a lot of information, which is being generated by various different devices, gets converged into a device, into a screen. That basically is assisting the driver in the direction of where they need to focus on, becomes extremely important. Cloud connectivity, this is another mega trend that I'll talk about in a little bit more details as I move forward in my presentation. But needless to say that the car is getting more and more connected with either embedded modem or through your mobile phone. Artificial intelligence, machine learning is playing a very important role as well inside the car. We're working on algorithms, predictive algorithms to creating predictions for what the driver may want to do. For example, many times, when you're going from your home to your from your office, you don't need navigation because you know that out as a driver. But the reason you start the navigation system inside the car is because you want to get traffic information. Why can't the car basically learn that you are at your office address, you're going to your home, and basically if there is any traffic problems to basically start an alert and change your route. So that's just a very simple example. But we're using machine learning, AI, in predicting the driver behavior, and basically coming up with new ways of interacting with the car and making it extremely simple and easy for the driver and the passengers. Shared mobility, it's a big trend, obviously. Many of us use the Uber, the Lyft, the various different car sharing apps. And this is a trend that is going to also transform a lot of what happens in the automotive industry. I'm a user of Uber, but this morning it really helped me. And I'll take a minute here to share with all of you. So I was taking a very early morning flight from San Francisco to LA. The flight was at 5.40 AM. I am five minutes away, around 5 AM, from San Francisco Airport. And the car that was taking me to the airport just completely dies on the side of the road. So this is my limo driver, and the car is completely dead. And I'm literally five minutes away, about to miss my flight, giving a heart attack to my colleagues who were waiting to make sure that I reach here in time. I get out of the car. It's 5 AM, obviously not very safe. It's dark. I can't really walk to the airport. I take my phone out, and I can request an Uber. The Uber could exactly pinpoint the location that I was in on the freeway. And within two minutes, there was an Uber ride to take me to that last half a mile to the terminal. So the point here, basically, is that I think the shared mobility and the car sharing apps and technologies are also really transforming the whole automotive industry. Autonomous driving, we all are talking about different companies at different stages. So are we at Harman-Samsung. In production right now is what we call level 2 autonomous driving capabilities, be it in Tesla or Mercedes or BMW or other cars, basically. But clearly, as things, as the technology evolves, the goal there, basically, is to keep on adding the functionality to take it to level 4. So level 0, by the way, hands-on wheels on, eyes on the roads. And level 4 is hands-off, feet-off, eyes off the road. So we're at the level 1, level 2 level right now, but a long way to go in the coming 5, 10, 20, 30 years. So a lot of investments, a lot of great work happening in the industry. Obviously, computing is playing a huge role, but also sensors, LiDARs, cameras. And all these technologies have to basically evolve together to create the level 4 autonomous experience that all of us are working towards. So in terms of bringing the discussion here more closer to the on the display and user experience side, the experience today from a driver perspective is very disjointed. Like I said earlier, there are many different displays inside the car. And each of these displays are basically working in a disjointed fashion. And what I mean by that is basically that the instrument clusters are working independent of the infotainment of your mobile phone and so on. The best example I can give you is that when you're driving, your navigation maps basically knows the speed limits on various different roads and so on and so forth. But your cruise control system or your dynamic adaptive cruise control systems inside your car are not basically talking to your navigation systems to basically say, OK, I want to stay within speed limits. A system where the two systems are talking to each other basically will be able to give the user the option that, hey, I want to go on cruise control, but I also want to stay within my speed limits of various different roads so that you drive safely. And there are many such examples that I can give where, when the systems are very disjointed, the experience that we are able to deliver to the customers is a disjointed experience. So what we are basically doing in terms of where this experience is going is convergence. In our company, we're kind of converging and creating a single compute platform that is a very powerful compute platform, which basically can run multiple different functions using virtualization and other technologies to kind of keep those functions separate, but also enable the interactions between various different subsystems inside the car. Just to give you an idea, in a typical car, there are between 20 to 100 embedded control units running completely, loosely coupled, separately. And there is anywhere from 20 million lines to about 100 million lines of software code, which is basically running all these different systems inside the car. The idea basically here is that from a user to improve the user experience for the driver and the passengers, we need to basically kind of drive towards convergence. And with the convergence, we'll come, these systems, basically working more closely together and presenting information, which is more driver-centric and more easier to consume by the driver. In terms of the key areas that I feel where work is going on with regards to humanizing a connected car, design and HMI is playing a very important role. HMI is human-machine interface. And there are all kinds of different technologies which companies like ours and many others are working on. Obviously, when in our mobile phone, or we use touch and other mechanisms to basically interact with our mobile devices, remember, in a car, you are driving. You're not supposed to, your both hands are supposed to be on the wheel. And your eyes are supposed to be on the road, you're not looking at different screens. So with that constraint in mind, basically, yes, the interaction with the driver and what technologies to use gives a new set of challenges. Obviously, voice is a very important way of interacting. And there's a lot of work going on in natural voice interactions, many different companies. Google is contributing a lot, and so are other companies as well in terms of basically making that voice interaction, audio interaction with the car more user-friendly. But there are other areas as well. For example, many of you may have experienced a little bit of a haptic feedback on your steering wheel. And the same technology is coming into the touch pads or the various different other mechanisms where you're basically getting, instead of looking at a screen or touching a screen or pushing a button, there are other ways of basically interacting with the car. And the HMI and the interactions basically uses these haptic feedback either on the steering wheel or on some of the device to basically tell you to press a button, not press a button, go left, right, whatever interaction you need to do with the car. Various different advanced interfaces like heads-up display are playing a very important role to basically take information from all these different subsystems that I talked about earlier and converge it and basically project it in a direction which is where you are driving and you in interacting with the car. Intelligent personalization is playing a very important role also inside the car. I gave some examples earlier, but I think we're working very closely with Microsoft, for example, to basically look at some of the productivity applications that produce and how to basically personalize it and present it in a very simple and easy way on the various different displays and otherwise inside the car. Similarly, contextual solutions are also playing a very important role because you want to bring the context of presenting and consuming this information for the driver. Audio and sound management, I mentioned earlier about voice, but one other example that we introduced a new technology called individual sound zones inside the car. How many times has it happened to all of you where you are driving in the car and you want to do a phone call and the kids want to listen to music and they're chatting away? Happens all the time to all of us. So what we have done is basically created individual sound zones so you can convert your car into either two or four sound zones. And while the driver or one member of your family is having a conference call, the others can be basically listening to the music and so on and so forth and all this without headphones. So this is just in your natural environment. You are basically sitting there and we do this with very sophisticated sound management, including very active noise cancellation and so on. And finally, obviously displays, both the center display and the rear seat displays and other instrument cluster displays will keep playing a very important role in humanizing the car. So in terms of the building blocks that are important, I mentioned connectivity, cloud, mobility, analytics will play a very, very important role in moving forward. The connectivity can be through native inside the car or through your mobile phone. The analytics, because there is lots of data that is being generated inside the car. And this data will basically play a very important role in terms of basically creating new use cases, new set of services for the drivers and the users of the cars. I mentioned the UI and the AI will play a very important role, sound management, et cetera. And finally, cybersecurity. I think as the car gets more and more connected, it's securing it becomes an extremely important area and almost all the companies in the space, including ours, were very much focused on that. In a PC or a mobile world, if there is a hack on your PC or a phone, it's a nuisance. In case of a car, if there is a hack inside your car, it's life and death. So we're taking, obviously, cybersecurity extremely importantly, just like we should. In terms of how this whole new area of a connected car is emerging, the approach is very evolution. It's an industry like one of the other speakers said earlier, which is typically in a PC world or a mobile world, you are owning a device for six months to two to three years, but a car you own for 10 years plus, typical life of a car. And as a result, basically, the process of adding some of these new technologies has to have a little bit more longer cycle in terms of their life cycle, and so on and so forth. The approach that the industry is basically taking is to start with the architecture and basically get the architecture right. So here, having a compute platform that can basically live the life of the car, that's 10 years becomes important because we don't change our cars as often as we change our PCs or our mobile devices. So looking at the core architecture becomes very important. Looking at how to secure it, but also how to update it is very important. So the industry is basically looking at ways of updating the car on a regular basis. And I think you have started seeing many OEMs basically introduced that, the technology over the year update so that just like you update your apps, your PCs, you can do the same thing with your car as well. Tesla obviously introduced it with their Model S, but many other OEMs and companies like ours are basically enabling them to bring these new OTA technologies so that the hardware, which is a longer life inside the car, can be basically updated with new software and new set of services and so on and so forth. Infrastructure is going to play a very important role as well as the car becomes more and more autonomous. We're looking at basically working with the state and various different city initiatives to make the city and the traffic signaling and other interactions between the car. So for example, there is vehicle to infrastructure and vehicle to vehicle communication innovation which is going on. So the idea here basically is very simple, that the car as it's driving on the road should be able to interact with other cars which are on the road but also should be able to interact with the infrastructure that's there on the road. So the use case could be that before it's approaching a traffic signal, it should know what the state of the traffic signal would be by the time it approaches there. And it's already basically taking certain actions as it's driving autonomously or semi-autonomously to avoid accidents, to avoid jumping of red lights and causing deaths and so on and so forth. So the whole idea basically is that the vehicle to vehicle interactions and vehicle to infrastructure interactions become very important. All this is happening with lots of partnerships which are happening in the industry. I think I don't think so this whole space is huge and I don't think so there is any one company who can do it all. Certainly as Harman-Samsung, we're one of the larger technology companies with a lot of different building blocks but we also think that we need very strong partnerships with industry leaders in different spaces, be it Google, Apple, Microsoft or other subsystem providers like many of you here in this room providing various different building blocks for display and so on. And talent obviously always plays a very important role as well. Moving on to the cloud platforms, the example I want to give here basically is that 20 years back, 25 years back, as we all were using PCs, we took our PCs which was a very powerful hardware compute platform at that time and we basically connected it to the internet. We created a platform to basically enable various different apps on the PCs. At that time, Microsoft did that with its Win16, Win32, WinWin, Windows 64 APIs, and a lot of industry got together to write lots of different apps for that PCs. The platform exposed the capabilities of that PC, that very powerful compute device and with a lot of different IOs and so on and so forth. And apps basically came in and used that capabilities to basically create new functionality. We know what happened with internet and everything else. We did the same thing 10 years back with mobile devices. Two major platforms were created, Apple created, IOS, Google created, Android. And basically, if you look at what these two platforms do, they basically take the hardware capabilities of a very smart mobile compute platform, which we call mobile phone, and basically expose the capabilities of this platform for apps to be written, and new services, and new functionality to be created for these mobile devices. Obviously, we saw what happened in the last 10 years with regards to the explosion in the mobile industry of using the mobile phone in all kinds of different ways that each of us do. Same thing is happening in the automotive space as well. The car is getting more connected, and the intelligence of the compute platform inside the car is also converging into a device. We're using a software platform, which is cloud connected. You can basically deliver all kinds of different services inside the car. Obviously, displays are going to play a very important role. We talked about that, but I think this connectivity to the car, which basically has very powerful capabilities to take us from A to B, will also create new opportunities. So for example, today's, the way the insurance industry works today, it's a huge industry, but the way the insurance industry works is that it basically looks at your past record.  The future of this industry is very different. So as the car gets more connected and more autonomous, a lot of the way the driver is driving today will basically define how the insurance rates will be for that day, meaning if you're a driver who is basically accelerating and de-accelerating, this information, this data is absolutely being generated inside the car. And if with your user, with your permission, if this data is shared with the insurance agency, suddenly now the insurance agency can basically decide how good a driver you are, or do you always drive above the speed limits, do you stay within the speed limits, et cetera, et cetera. So the point I'm making is basically that you can take a decision about the driving patterns of the driver based on how they're driving today, rather than how they were driving previously based on your accident and other profile, history, and so on and so forth. There are similar other examples as well. Service industry. I'm sure it has happened to many of us that we take the car in for service, and our car needs certain new parts, and they don't have it, and they basically ask us to come back, and so on and so forth. A car inside is generating these codes called DTC codes, defect codes, which basically, once the car is connected to the internet, these DTC codes can be basically transmitted on the internet, and various different automotive service providers can basically take those DTC codes, they have the make and model and other information about the car, and they can basically decide, do they have the parts that are needed to service your car and basically give you a quote so that when you go take your car in for service, all the parts are there, and you don't have to make repeated trips, and so on and so forth. So the point I'm making here basically is that just like in the PC industry and also in the mobile industry, when we took this powerful compute platform, mobile or PC, and connected it to the internet, created a platform which basically allowed various different services to innovate, same thing is going to happen in the car as well, and what that basically means is a lot of opportunity for all of us and our companies. So in terms of what does this mean from a display industry standpoint at CES this year, we basically had a demo car which basically created a user experience for the car, for the driver and the passenger inside the car, and I keep mentioning passengers because if you think about it, over the last so many years we have improved the experience for a driver inside the car, but what we have not done is basically done much for the passengers. I think as this industry moves forward, I think we have to basically look at both the drivers and the passengers and what we can do to help and make the experience much better for both. I wish I had a video of this car to play here, unfortunately I don't, so I'll explain it, but the idea basically was to use the windscreen and also the rear seat screens as well as basically displays which can be used for various different purposes, they can be used for entertainment, they can be used for productivity and so on and so forth, and we created this demo car where the windscreens and the rear screens and the side screens in the rear seat were basically being used for various different purposes, not just the screens which we traditionally use inside the car. So we have to basically think outside the box on how to create new experiences and basically look at how do we give people what they want when they are making the journey inside the car and make it easier for the driver and make it entertaining for the passengers and create them to use that time for productivity or use it for entertainment or both and enable that with all these new technologies that I talked about. So in terms of summarizing the discussion here this morning, I think to create that ultimate road trip autonomy that we are all working towards is just the start. It's definitely not the destination. I think there is a lot of innovation that will come as some of these base technologies come together, user experience and how we basically create the display technologies and so on and so forth and the interaction with those displays technologies using voice, using haptic feedback, touch, other ways will become extremely important. I was thinking about the curved TVs but the curved displays inside the car is even more important. I think the real application of the curved displays probably inside the car than anywhere else because it basically fits in very well with the way we interact inside the car. I think technology will play a very important role in providing the connectivity, the centralization of all the functions and also creating autonomous and other capabilities inside the car. And finally, I think, as I mentioned, architecture, infrastructure and partnerships and people will play a very important role. Thank you very much.


I have a decent job where I can barely afford to move out of my parents house. I am saving and I know the minute I move out all my savings will be gone. Here's the thing, Mohana, it's not enough to save. That's because I know you're in Seattle, you're in the United States, I'm in Canada. In the Western world, it's not enough to save. What our current economic system has done, political system has done, was punish savers. So for them to be able to kickstart the economy that they initially collapsed, right? What they're forcing people to do is to make their money, generate money, to get the idea in their head that our current economic system is all about money be getting money. So it's not enough to save, you have to invest. So what you need to do is figure out where you will be investing your money. We put out videos regarding this, right? Personal finance and stuff. The first place should be your health, your family, your community and whatnot. If you have anything excess left from your must contribute to, right? Places, what you need to do is find out where you can take some of your money, roll it over and generate more money, right? It might be just you going online and buying used products, right? If you have a hobby, buying used products or products that people are giving away, throwing away, selling, whatever it might be, taking that stuff, refurbishing it, reselling it. You could decide to buy things in bulk like auto records. The way they make money is they buy cars that have been destroyed through accidents or whatnot and they take things apart and sell the parts, right? So they make more money by selling the individual parts than selling the whole thing as a whole, okay? So I can give you an example of that affecting me in my life, right? I used to play drums, I had drum set for 20 years and when I was doing a move like 20 years ago, I needed to sell my drum set, right? I put it up initially as one complete thing to sell for like $1,500. No one took it, like no one bought it. So what I ended up doing was selling it in pieces and I ended up selling it total like for four grand, right? All the pieces. So if you understood instruments, drum set specifically, you could find people who are selling those products as complete packages and if you think you can make money by breaking them apart, selling the pieces off, that's one way you can invest. I'm just going off a little bit on that just so you have an idea of what it is that I'm talking about when it comes to investing your money and generating more money outside of your daily work habit.
