Mark Rober

It wasn't the rovers on Mars.

It's not a small number.

There's quite a few.

Well, there's one that I was like lead author on, which is actually a funny story because someone at Apple was like, hey, you have all these cool ideas for YouTube.

Where's your banger idea for Apple?

And literally like a week and a half later, I'm in a meeting about some stupid software tool.

And then I had this idea of like what happens when you combine a virtual reality with a self-driving car?

Like what are the implications of that?

And I literally started shaking because I was like, whoa, there's so much here.

Essentially like a car is the world's greatest motion simulator.

So if you go to an amusement park and you have motion simulators to simulate moving forward, they just tilt you back like this.

But then your butt's like, wait, but now there's no pressure on my butt.

That doesn't feel quite right.

But in a car, you could actually simulate moving forward by moving the car.

So it's like there's a lot of entertainment and just ways not to get motion sick, right?

Because like 40% of people struggle from motion sickness.

We're going to be new self-driving cars, but we have all this time, but you can't use it if you still have to stare out the window.

So is there a way with virtual reality that you can actually be way less motion sick and actually watch movies or work on your computer?

And there's a lot in the patent, right?

And we got like everything we asked for, which means we're sort of the first ones to really look at this.
