I really love manscaped. Thank you very much for your response in this episode. I really think it's a great product and I think you guys should treat yourself, treat your balls. Probably the most common alternative tent products we see are collaborations where the car. The manufacturer contributes design research and brand recognition, while an external party actually manufactures the product, such as the high-tech Porsche piano and the Alfa piano. M piano in M ​​stands for mechatronic, like the mechatronic units found in many automobile gearboxes, especially Volkswagen and Porsche models in Piano mechatronics refers to the actuators under each key that allow you to manipulate the pitch. and resistance through an external application.

This isn't even the first piano Porsha has participated in. They also teamed up with Bortion Dopher. I tried it almost 200 years ago. old piano maker to make a nearly $300,000 grand piano, okay, sure it's impressive, but can it work? Ferrari made the leap from automobile to lifestyle when they teamed up with cobra and puma golf and launched a luxury golf line, they did away with all those corporate luxuries. buzzwords like artisanal elegance and sophisticated functionality and ugly shoes, but the shoes aren't the star of the line here, which would have to be the $2,000 bright red controller made of a titanium alloy composed of carbon fiber and perfectly balanced with internal tungsten weights you can carry this club in your $2,400 golf bag made from the same Patrona leather you'll find in the Ferrari FF, one of my favorite shooting brakes.

The leather is known for its simple spicy aroma and is described as having a particularly Italian sensuality. Mamma Mia. I want my golf bag collapse to be one thing, but many automotive companies actually make their own non-automotive products rather than using third-party

manufacturers

. A perfect example of this is Nissan, which wowed us with not one, but two autonomous office chairs that they started with. the smart parking chair, an office chair that returns to its original position with a simple clap, then came the professional pilot chair that does more than just park, it drives with you in it detecting your relationship with the seats around you now, before you arrive too.
Excited, none of these chairs are available to purchase, they were developed as a marketing strategy to showcase Nissan's new self-driving and parking technologies that cool Nissan down. You've probably heard of the electric wall that Tesla has been making with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The home battery system that stores solar or grid power for on-demand use isn't the first of its kind, but it's probably the most elegant out there. Elon Musk touts the power wall when used with solar panels as a way to become independent from major grid power, but even the thirty-five hundred and ten kilowatt hour option isn't really enough to power your home unless you're very off-grid. the grid like the state of Shrek and if you're living that Shrek life you probably can't afford solar power. panels and power inverter, you need to make everything work anyway for the farquaads of the world who live in the city, like you with me, the electric wall would be great as a backup supply for outages or a way to reduce costs, but again, it should also be named after boy, whatever.
This is so I don't know, okay, we have to talk about these Volkswagen sausages since 1973. Volkswagen makes currywurst at the same plant in Wolfsburg where they make many of their cars like the Gulf and the Tiguan. The sausage is even considered a Volkswagen original part I'm not new with its own part number one nine nine three nine eight five hundred a VW originally started producing sausages to feed the workers in the various canteens within the factory and they still do, but once the outside world found out that their currywurst was the best in Currie. VW started selling them in supermarkets and football stadiums, they even give them away to Volkswagen customers, but this is not just a nice sign.
Okay, for many years Volkswagen has produced more sausages than cars. We're talking about 20,000 tubes of pork per day in 2018, they made 6.8 million of them. Veta even introduced a vegetarian option in 2010, but unfortunately, we Americans can't control these things due to raw meat import restrictions. I just hope so. It doesn't taste like crayons, it's a Volkswagen joke, many car companies made other products even before they started making cars, for example Toyota, which actually started in the automatic loom business and it wasn't even Toyota, it was Toyota, uh, in 1924. Sakichi Toyoda invented the Toyota model G automatic loom.
It was innovative because it used the principle of jidoka, which meant that if the machine detected a problem such as a broken thread, it would stop to correct the problem instead of performing a quality control in place. In the end, he finds out that he has a bunka product. This system is also known as automatic animation or intelligent automation and is used in the production of Toyota cars to this day. The loss of his ingenious ability to spot problems mid-process was a gamma shanje in the loom business as he cut. Well below the resources wasted on overproduction, obviously the mill bosses at the time were like gimme-gimme-gimme and Toyota sold the patent in 1929 to the British Machinery Company, the plot brothers, which gave them gave the capital to start his automotive business with his son Cheetah.
Toyota eventually changed the D to a T because people thought Toyota sounded better, but more importantly, changing it to a T meant that the name could be written with exactly eight strokes in Japanese letters. Eight is a lucky number in Japan and they thought it would be welcome. in good fortune and prosperity, which is the same reason I eat eight pizza rolls every day eight times three pizza rolls every day, so Toyota made cars, blah blah blah, we don't care about that right now , we care about the fact that in 2009 he also created a brain-machine interface that allows wheelchair users to control the movements of an electric wheelchair with their damn mind.
The Professor for the motorized wheelchair how cool is this guys how did this happen in 2009? I'm just finding out. Look, I tried to find an update on current technology and strangely I couldn't find anything from the last decade, that's okay, probably. There's nothing to worry about, just when a multinational corporation developing mind control technologies simply goes into ghost mode. I'm not worried that Toyota has developed a lot of interesting things, including a line of humanoid robots that we'll talk about later, but did you? We know that Toyota also makes prefabricated homes, like hundreds of thousands of them, and they've been doing so since 1975, which means they were building homes before they even made Camrys;
We just don't hear much about it here in the U.S. Since residential production is pretty much limited to Japan, there are a lot of different models and prices and honestly, for a home that can be ordered from a catalog, this is quite a plus. sickening area where conventional construction can drag these puppies down. It will be assembled in about two months from start to finish, that's pretty amazing for something a little longer and you have Aston Martin's 66-story luxury condo tower in downtown Miami, which they literally call a car turned skyscraper , it's a little too much Aston Martin is handling the interior. design and corporate branding, but they partnered with third-party developers to build the damn thing that lives in the Aston Martin condo, it comes with some extremely luxurious perks like a superyacht marina, multiple movie theaters, and virtual golf.
The most expensive unit is a nineteen thousand square foot Triple. X Penthouse that will cost you fifty billion dollars, but the most sick part of that unit is that it comes with a Aston Martin Vulcan, it costs eight hundred and twenty dollars and is the last one of a series of only 24 cars valued at around three million. dollars, so when you think about it, the apartments only cost forty-seven million dollars, so it's worth it, a good use of the money. BMW Jaguar Lamborghini all these car companies didn't even start with cars before Jaguar made a big speed bump like they were. in the business of manufacturing motorcycle sidecars Mitsubishi started in shipbuilding Saab started in airplanes even Pujo the second oldest car manufacturer in the world behind Mercedes-Benz did not start in automobiles Pujo started in the early 19th century as a foundry steel mills that made things like coffee grinders, umbrella frames, and band saws, they still make salt and pepper grinders to this day.
My mom actually has a Puzo spice grinder. She is quite sick. She put some nutmeg in there and put on whatever. The iconic lion you see on her badge first appeared on her saw blades. Cujo's arm was added to symbolize the hardness of the saw's teeth, the strength of the steel and the speed of the cut like a leaping lion. It's just a sawyer, so I'm just Cujo points that saw one of the wildest entrances in the world. The automotive world came from Ferruccio Lamborghini who only got two cards despite Enzo Ferrari and if you haven't heard the story before, allow me.
Lamborghini was a mechanical genius who, after serving in World War II, founded a company that made tractors from surplus military vehicles. The business took off in the 1960s. He also manufactured oil heaters and air conditioners with his entire hard-earned account. Lambo bought a lot of sports cars, one of them the Ferrari 250gt with a v12 engine, but he kept having problems with the clutch. The point he brought up to complain to Enzo Ferrari himself. Ferrari felt insulted, although he groaned as if the problems were not with the car but with the driving. Wouldn't I go play with your little tractors?
Okay and Lamborghini was like hell, no, dude. I'm going to make my own sports car and I'm going to hire former employees to help me make it and then everyone was like damn sons and then Lamborghini did it, founded a car factory, built a v12 engine, put it in their Lamborghini 350gt and He saw it destroyed. 158 miles per hour in the face of a Ferrari, it's amazing to think that a Ferrari just knew how to take some constructive criticism and would never have gotten the Aventador SVJ. It's a pretty crazy story. I want to know more.
Check out Lamborghini's update. It's an oldie but goodie, everyone knows that the white and blue on the BMW badge is a propeller in the sky, but did you know that the three dots on the Mercedes Benz logo represent mobility on land, sea and sky, land ? It's pretty obvious that you haveEverything from a 1950s Goldwing coupe to today's open-ocean C-class has the 46-foot luxury motor yacht that Mercedes developed with Silver Arrows Marine, the Aero for 60 grand tourer was launched in 2017, has It seats 10 people and has a top speed of 44 miles per hour, but this yacht isn't just a boat made by a car company, look at this thing, look at those automotive proportions, it really looks like your car on the water, just a little more expensive than 1.7 million dollars, okay?
Land check see check sky look no further, the Mercedes ec145 luxury helicopter with two engines and turbine powered by Mercedes did not manufacture this plane, it was made by a company called eurocopter, but it did design the interior modeling it after its fast luxury cars, this whip of heaven will guide you Horrible war of 8.5 million dollars. What's the point of car companies making military vehicles? That's what Chrysler GM Fiat Subaru BMW Volkswagen Dodge all lent their manufacturing skills to the war effort. It's super interesting. I can't really get into that now or else this. It will be a 2 hour long tour, but if you want to learn more about the tanks and bombers made by your favorite car brands, let me know in the comments and we'll see what we can do by making a video on how to make an army. -Grade destroyer is one thing the automaker is sending their cars to space like Tesla did with a roadster, it requires a completely different level of engineering, but did you know that Tesla wasn't the first automaker to go to space? space?
Ford Chrysler and GM all played a major role in NASA's early Apollo missions after Ford acquired the Philco radio and television company, the new Philco brand Ford built NASA's Mission Control Center in Houston implementing a new technology that allowed for much more sophisticated communication between astronauts and space and their counterparts here on Earth Chrysler built the first stage of the Saturn 1b booster rocket that helped us fly to the Moon and in 1971 GM and Boeing teamed up to make the lunar rover produced an electric vehicle long before the Chevy Volt or Chevy Volt, its creation was such a success that NASA used similar models for the Apollo 16 and 17 missions and these three GM Rovers remain on the moon to this day.
They talk about friend, where is my car? I love that movie. Some car labs are just downright weird like the Estee Lauder Mustang cologne that my friend Cody used to wear in high school love you Cody, but there's also Isaac Mizrahi's Chevy Malibu-inspired women's fashion collection that I can only describe as going to a meeting on the beach with this luxurious lady. She can get her Tootsie's in $110 driving loafers or maybe a $260 tote bag. Who bought this if your mom told them to? eeeh, perhaps the most egregious of these co.labs is the bugatti hookah rated alongside luxury shisha pipe maker Dez vol, now Bugatti is not. n the first car company to release these Middle Eastern-style pipes, the Porsche Design shisha came out in 2011 for $1,950 and two years later, Bugatti said, "Oh, dude, sick, we could do that too, except we're going to literally increase the price. five thousand percent, that's right, the Bugatti hookah costs $100,000.
What a shame if someone tried to convince you that a pipe is worth a hundred thousand dollars, they're blowing smoke up your ass, right? Right now let's talk about beeps. I'm not talking about honking, I'm talking. about beep beep boop bop beep because it's time for robots, who remembers number 5 when Toyota debuted a whole series of humanoid robots that were in a band that's a slap in the face? Toyota is really here with human support robots, a basketball robot, and a whole line of assistants. robots that would debut at the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games I guess we'll have to wait until next year for those things in 2013 Toyota helps develop Japan's first robot astronaut and first companion robot in space called kirobo kirobo is a robot High-functioning mini robot with a variety of capabilities Face-passing Voice recognition Voice synthesis and video recording Sounds like everything on a sweet iPhone Well wrong because Kirobo is specially designed to navigate in zero-gravity environments and assist Commander Wakata, the first Japanese commander of the International Space Station he helps with all these different experiments and at the same time he is very cute.
Actually, I don't think I've ever seen a cuter robot. OMG, there's a mini Q. Robo Toya isn't the only automaker playing with robots. Honda approached the beep-bop zone back in '86, when its Rd robotics team set out to develop a robot that could move and walk like a human, they went through the e P series and 11 iterations later arrived at Azzam or, which means advanced step. in innovative mobility such as ammunition made its US debut in 2002 when the opening bell rang at the New York Stock Exchange and made history as the world's only humanoid robot that can independently go up and down stairs.
Now, obviously, the Boston Dynamics robots have completely eclipsed Tassimo. but it was quite

surprising

at the time, in 2010 Honda was able to apply the same type of mind control technology from the Toyota wheelchair to asthma, thus allowing the user to think in a limited number of gestures and the asthma we will do for them twice as much . esprit can do it since then Azzam oh, I've learned sign language, mixed drinks and even conducted orchestras. It's amazing to see automakers use their power for good, especially now when they really have to look out for each other. I'm talking about Ford and Pooja who are making ventilators to fight koban 19 Lamborghini making masks and shields Volkswagen who partnered with fabric company parrisha Teresa parrisha to make medical gowns GM is helping produce 10,000 ventilators and one and a half million masks every month, but this foray into medical equipment is nothing new for them in 1952 GM worked with dr.
Forrest dodged the twist to create the first mechanical heart that made open heart surgery possible in humans, that is truly huge, so many people owe their lives to this device that looks like a 12-cylinder engine and the basis for the advances in cardiac surgery, it's great. Porsche and Boeing are teaming up to explore the world of autonomous electric luxury planes with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities that sound like a quadcopter for humans, but even a flying car feels small. potatoes compared to Toyota's woven city, that's right, Toyota is creating an entire city. It is being built on a 175-acre plot of land that used to be the site of a Toyota factory at the base of Mount Fuji.
The high-tech metropolis will run on hydrogen. fuel cells and serve as a living laboratory for Toyota engineers to implement and study various technologies, including autonomous robotics, smart homes and personal mobility, that's crazy. Let me know which of these products you wish you had and which ones you wish didn't exist. Thank you for watching this episode it means a lot to me. A lot of work goes into these things. This is actually the second time I have to film this because I made a mistake the first time, which is very irritating, but a lot of editors spend a lot of time making these videos. really good and it meant a lot to us, at least shed a light and maybe consider subscribing to our channel and we really love doing it for you, thanks for watching, be nice, see you next time.
