Tomorrowland, Disney is one step ahead on the autonomous vehicle race

Tomorrowland, Disney is one step ahead on the autonomous vehicle race

I was a kid when I went for the first time to Disneyland theme park in Orlando, Florida.

I was amazed for the huge size of the parking lot
and the well organized way people commuted from the parking lot
to the core of the magic kingdom.
I really felt in tomorrowland while riding the monorail and getting into the hotel
in a very silent and smooth way.

Several years later, I reminded vivily that experience while
performing a brainstorm think tank  for the potential solution to the Bogota DC
massive transport system.

By building huge parking lots and creating special transportation hubs in Bogota DC,
I was trying to replicate the Disneyland clever transportation system,
integrating the best of the two worlds, the massive transportation system
with the welfare of the vehicular personal transportation.

Now, we are living in a fascinating era in light of the fourth industrial revolution,
where the autonomous vehicle technological race is in full swing
and the biggest players and clever minds are full engaged in the process
for the delight and joy of the public.

I strongly believe, the next generation (level five) of autonomous vehicles
will evolve together with the infrastructure.

For instance, the V2G (vehicle to grid) technology is a good example
about the full interaction of the future vehicles with the infrastructure.

Of course Disney, has been the facto in the urban design/construction
and transportation business from inception.

Of course Disney is one step ahead (even if they do not know it yet )
in the full autonomous vehicle race, because they are the utopia builders
and they are doing a great job in their theme parks,
giving to the people a real and tangible glimpse of a well established
and mostly happy civilization.

Chances are, in the near future Disney theme parks
will include an attraction called “YesterdayLand”,
where the kids can experience how was the feeling
to drive a noisy (and with low intelligence) internal combustion engine car
without the help of their best buddies : Their AI partners.  

Building one million cars in one year. The Tesla Reloaded challenge game.

It is a fascinating story indeed. Recently Tesla released the information about being able to build 7,000 cars (EVs, Electric Vehicles) in seven days. Few hours later, Ford roasted Tesla, telling them they used to build 7,000 cars in 4 hours. ( yes, you hear it well, four hours!)

Back in 2016, Tesla made histoy along with thousands of headlines, when get almost 500,000 reservations for their M3 without even launch it.

Tesla was facing the most desirable of the escenearios for any Enterprise, get the purchase orders to keep busy in the business for the next several years.

Tesla is a real magnet to attract the attention of thousands of people and to move them from value prospects to real customers.

So the challenge was set up, try to build 500, 000 cars in two years for a company which has been able to design, build and sale just 100,000 Evs in their entire history.

Tesla will therefore shift from being seen as a niche production company to the mass market.

Our vehicular software división was very interested in the historical challenge, henceforth we created a gaming división called Tesla Reloaded in order to develop a new highly engaging game to help Tesla to build one million cars in one year, while keeping their customers and followers interested in the entire process through our platform game.

Tesla Reloaded first of all, created the required script to support the game.

The script basically tells the new generations and reminds the old generations, the epic and legendary transformation of USA during the world war two, where fueled by the forces of the adversity, the nation was transformed rapidly from a country of farmers to a super efficient industrial machine. The backbone of the script is the story of the amazing aircraft building up during the WWII, specifically the fast development and construction of the super flying fortress.

Basically, Tesla Reloaded was telling the auidence that type of challenge already had have hapen in the past, and therefore they were in a very good shape since they were basically standing up on giant´s shoulders.

Of course the script reminds the audience about the Ford model T, the first mass production car in the history of mankind, with an astonishing record of almost fifteen millions model T built.

So in the first stage of the game, you travel in the time and go back to the Ford Model T factory and help them to assemble the car to get the required introduction for the challenge ahead.

Once you sucsesfully pass the first stage at the Ford model T factory, the user already have the flavor about to how to build a mass production car with limited resources in the old fashion times.

In the second stage of the game, comes the engagement. The Tesla Reloaded platform aims to create a sophisticated community to generate a kind of super human intelligence for the problem/solving process. Henceforth, in the game´s second stage, the users create teams to compete with the first challenge, which is to adapt the model T mass production plant in light of the current technology to check and evaluate the new resourses available and their value.

In the game´s third stage, we introduce a key factor in the civilization technological evolution: competition.

In this stage the teams learn to face the Germans and japaneses competitors.

The first three stages can give you a good idea about the game backbone.

We cannot at this phase describe the other stages, since we are developing the game´s algorithm based in the complete script and the ( protection of) intelectual property is our bigest asset in this moment.

But we can tell you, that we came up with some novelties while developing the game´s code and we expect to create a real brainstorm of novelties once we reach the critical mass of sophisticated users enjoying our game platform!.

Heptagon, the Colombian military industrial complex

Heptagon, the Colombian military industrial complex

I will recite our mantra one more time: “We have been figthing the longest guerrilla war for fifty years in a row and even so we are the oldest and more stable democracy in the continent.”

Aside of the political aspect, we have an important fact, the Colombian army has a real and valuable experience in the teather of operations.

But as long as our troops and our commanders get better in their warfare affairs and get trained using sophisticated foreign weapons, the local military industry remains very basic and without profit from the great opportunity.

Indumil is the military colombian company owned by the state which is actually running by military and is profitable but still has a low profile portfolio of products and their main client was of course the colombian army and the colombian police.

For instance, the army standard rifle fo their troops is the israelian Galil Ace, of course indumil produce some spare parts for the rifle which use to export to Israel, but inspite the huge and real experience in a real battle field, Indumil have not be able to produce a 100% colombian rifle tailored specifically for the counter guerrilla warfare in the tropic and in the mountains.

We still have time to develop our own military industry ,taking advantage of our army great experience, but we should do it together with the private sector.

Heptagon will be a military industrial complex fueled by the private sector companies and the startups. Heptagon will work trought the spectrum auction system to develop their portfolio of products.

Heptagon is not starting from scratch, Indumil is currently developing their own pistol, “the cordova” with good results, but is not enough, we should jump into the real technological wagon and create a top notch technological portfolio to take profit of our army huge experience and more important to be cemented in our army amazing goodwill and great reputation
