Those deadly the 2 deadly crashes but let me show you what some of these people wrote one employee wrote this airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys now another colleague would you put your family on a mac Simulator Training aircraft i wouldnt another employee wrote an email with subject line flight transition cost and really stressing the importance of holding firm that there would not be any type of Simulator Training that was required when transitioning from the 737 and the 800 to the max but again these documents essentially confirm that employees were concerned over limited training for these airlines upgrading from the 737 and g. To the 737 max because they did have a Software Upgrade that is very telling that the employees dont even trust the aircraft itself so how is boeing responded to these are had day well they have they released a statement saying that we regret the content of these communications and. Apologized to the federal Aviation Administration to congress our Airline Customers and to the flying public for them they actually went on to say that these communications do not reflect the company we are and need to be and they are completely unacceptable now over the Simulator Training we know that this could be time consuming so mean this could be costly obviously however even after the crashes boeing said that they did not need the training is that the pilot did not need those training so it wasnt until just this week that they said that they would recommend the pilots and crews have these trainings thats a 3 hour training of course its costly of course its timely but as it is of course necessary to save lives and make ensure that the 737 max can be in good working order exactly like look what happened now without the training exactly so on another front the iranian crash of the boeing 737800 not the different plane the 737 max that investigation is still open but iran did now release a video of the black boxes in the cockpit whats the latest they did release a video earlier today with the black boxes that initially said were damaged it looks like theyre investigating themselves iran wants to 1st analyze that themselves theyve invited other countries to be a part of the investigation even though the United States however there are wanted to be assessed by russia or ukraine at france or canada but 1st want to do it themselves so head of Irans Civil Aviation Organization said if we can do it ourselves we will if not we will definitely ask for assistance from other countries now the iran investigation from boeing said the u. S. Ukraine france and canada are looking all looking into the cause of the crash the u. S. Canada and the u. K. Have all said that it was downed by an Iranian Missile this is something that iran has denied but just an hour ago just earlier today on our very own news with rick sanchez an iranian source told rick sanchez that iran the investigation shows if the investigation does indeed show that that plane was taken down by the an Iranian Missile. And it appears that theyll have to accept that conclusion so its still ongoing theyve asked for help from other countries whether or not theyll share that information of the black box in with the other countries that will obviously help clarify what happened but that still remains unclear very dangerous not so friendly skies our 2 correspondents and thank you so much if you christie. The Auto Industry now continues to face challenges in 2020 as car makers and dealerships are struggling with a slowing economy and terrible uncertainties keep consumers from large purchases car sales in china continue to fall in december as locking in its 2nd straight annual decline however at the pace of the decline has slowed the industry is now cautiously optimistic that we have bottomed out is this the bottom to find out we bring in lauren thanks to car coach so lauren what do you think is this the bottom is a priced in or do you expect the sales to continue to do klein not only in china but globally. Well as is the china u. S. Agreement goes into play if the terror of so reduced i think it will help the economy of china which would cause people to purchase more vehicles with another sales drop of 7. 4 percent from 29000 thats year over year thats pretty impactful when it comes to the total numbers for the Auto Industry but companies that usually do very well in china such as General Motors having sales dropping 15 percent is pretty hefty and youre noticing even b y d which is a Chinese Car Company having a drop in sales mostly because the subsidies are going away so our people are producing manufacturers are producing electric vehicles theyre still seeing a drop in sales and theyre producing these electric vehicles even though the demand for them is dropped off because the subsidy is whats causing the sale so this is going to be very interesting it could be the bottom as long as these tariffs are dropped and we may not see that until the 2nd part of the u. S. Agreement so now lets move on over to our favorite fugitive carlos ghosn weve been following his story for a while and he finally gave his much anticipated public. Press conference this week so what will you take away. Well i 1st off i watched the whole thing its 2 and a half hours it was very interesting as weve been following this all along here on our t. V. And one of the things that i noted is that he had documentation to back up what the situation was he was able to explain and his lawyer who happens to be french said youre supposed to have a fair trial so basically they accused him of something and asked him to prove his innocence were in reality it should have been that japan should have said what he was being charged so after the 1st 100 days in captivity they still wanted him to plead guilty to something he didnt even know and as this went on he realized his only answer was to escape and once we solve the documentation we heard what he had to say in the Public Opinion the court of Public Opinion most people are believing that hes innocent and theres no documentation to back this up and it looked like it was more of a cultural difference between the japanese and the french and thats why all this started to unfold the way it did and were still not done with this and im sure theres months and months more as we hear more stories about carlos ghosn and how this unfolds so lebanon has now issued a travel ban on going and this is after he had received a red notice from interpol but let me as authorities have not arrested him yet so whats going to happen now. Well the lebanese will not deport him its not going to happen theres no extradition agreement with either france and japan or with lebanon and japan so that means you get essentially travel between the 2 countries but because hes a travel ban within his own country at least hes free within his own country which is where he was raised his family is there i think that was the biggest factor is that he could not get a fair trial and hes willing to stand trial and maybe theyll have something there in lebanon but until all this continues to get more details more documentation is revealed i think right now hes just happy to have freedom within his own country and now moving over to see 2020 boom bust branch of war recently gave us a little peek at all the concept cars debuting at the conference and one of the biggest trends we saw out there was the rise of the thomas driving so what other trends and dreams are emerging from the Auto Industry that we can look forward to. What we did notice of hyundai had a partnership with goober and they want to start doing taxis which is really great so what youre talking about is the potential of you getting into a car that turns and that gets you to an airplane that gets you to your destination and it would be sort of like getting in a taxi cab but this case would be like an air share type situation so also of bell helicopters is working on a program thats very similar to that so as things evolve we may see some of this going to play the autonomous part is possible but in reality the autonomy is not there yet we we have the technology but we still have no government regulations we still have to worry about Insurance Regulations with those that are autonomous and non autonomous sharing the roadway and theres still no permanent barrier to keep those hackers out and whether those are all big factors that i continually bring up so at this point looks like manufacturers are showcasing their talent and theyre showcasing the really cool cars of the future but i dont think were going to see it within the next 10 years within the next 10 years thats a big Statement Given that you should be here in 2020. What is cars are not autonomous he sells auto pilot as autonomous its really a level 3 autonomy a lot of new vehicles including her c. D. s b. M. W. Audi Even Ford Motor Company have self centering cars so myself driving that assistant theyre not theres no such thing where you can go to sleep behind the wheel people are doing it in teslas but theres also at least 15 cases where the u. S. Federal government is investigating to find out why hes selling it this way and they want to stop using the name auto pilot fascinating lots to look forward to lauren fix the car coach thank you so much.
