Episode Description
Let’s get into the mindset of the racers at the Baja 1000, 500, or 250!! Visualize the pageantry of contingency, the challenges of race course design, and the unpredictability of the unfolding events caused by human, mechanical or weather errors. These off-road Baja races are known as the toughest events in all sports. Where did it all begin? Jose will have the privileged to discuss off-road racing with the sports pioneer Mr. Sal Fish - former President of Score International. Inducted into the Off-Road Hall of Fame for over 40 year of promoting the sport. We will discuss how Score International was involved in the historical DARPA Grand Challenge events. Also, learn about Sal’s involvement with Slash X, and the driverless vehicles such as TerraMax and Sandstorms. Discover the technologies and innovations that has continued to make the off-road racing events safer, faster, and exciting. Join your host, Jose Negron, on Today, Tomorrow’s Technologies - Variety Chanel at 9 am PST.

Today, Tomorrow’s Technologies (T3) enables our scientists, engineers and innovators to establish a daily dialogue with a non-techy listener. This engagement will expand our understanding of how technology can impact our daily lives. The goal is to simplify, avoid the tech mystery and encourage the study or participation in these new disciplines. T3 benefits will answer the following questions:
a. What are the positive or negative impacts in the new technology?
b. When can these technologies impact our daily routine?
c. How can society benefit from these technologies?
T3 will cover a variety of engineering, scientific and future technologies. Topics include autonomous vehicles, disruptive products, cyber technologies, smart homes/devices, unmanned aerial vehicles, smart phone, now what?, space exploration/activities, electric technologies, energy/alternate energy, tech government vs commercial, technology in high schools, future robots, and the next inventions.
