Low prices continue. More Domestic Production and that means coming from alaska. I will say in addition to the price, one of our biggest concerns you see, and we think it has gotten to the point where it is willful and every project senator senators talk about and everything is delayed. Delayed. We think it is willful and the weapon of choice of this administration to actually kill projects. It is a big problem. We have time for one more. What sort of assureance has been given that new Mapping Technology will not place the animal life in harms way in an war . It has been proven. The new and old crude oil is that big. The only person who hurts the wildlife is the human being who is shooting them. I know a little like that. They are domestic kateated now. We have wolves sleeping with the sheep. And you guys believed it. In New York Miami philadelphia, and San Francisco people say we have to save those poor little animals. It doesnt affect them. It never has. It is all a myth easily sold
Dollars are well spent. From the standpoint about the concerns of the services provided, we think when you allow states to weaken the standards, and we have seen again, how states have used waivers to, in effect, create a day facto weakening of standards standards. We are deeply concerned. Well, i understand the need for flexzblety. But if the only principle here is that the states can do whatever they want, then they should raise their entaxes to pay for it. Throwing billions of federal dollars at the states with no accountability for the states of how they spend taxpayer money is not what we were sent here to do. So, thank you. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you, senator warren. And i did welcome senator collins to the committee, which i should. Were delighted to have her back. She and senator cassidy are the only two members of the kmiet tee this year. Senator roberts. Number one, weve flipped the seating arrangement here. The lights are a little brighter, the heat is a little warme
Maintain that. So i guess for me today like to just talk a little bit about you know, where can we start . What can we do now that allows us to bridge that gap between the chicken and the egg . So we have the faa test sites which are great. But at the same time its a little bit of testing in a bubble. To ask research and Development Companies to rapidly iterate their technology and have to every couple of months figure out a time where they can get into a test site. Travel with their entire engineering team. Did they accidental leave the spectrum analyzer at the lab now someone has to fly home to get that. It doesnt allow for very rapid innovation which is obviously not going to let us keep up with the other countries in this world that are anbsolutely reaping the awards and benefits of this technology. Additionally, we must testing it in test sites is not necessarily going to give us the necessary data and logged flight hours to figure out what the hurdles are. What the road blkblocks
Source hardware and software and reexamination and redefinition of the role of humans in the operation of these systems. We note in our report that this Research Program is best carried out by multiple government academic and industrial entities and will require effective coordination at all levels. Civil aviation is on the threshold of profound change increasingly autotonomous systems which often happens. Early adapters sometimes get caught up in the excitement of the moment greatly exaggerating the promise of things to come and greatly underestimating costs in terms of money time and in some cases unintended consequences or complications. Will indeed be great. There should be equally little doubt that getting there will while maintaining the safety and efficiency of u. S. Civil aviation will be no easy matter. We believe that the barriers and the Research Program weve identified is a vital next step and that concludes my testimony. Ill be happy to respond to questions. Thank you, dr.
Communicators a look at personal Data Collection online and some of the ethics involved in that collection. Joining us is Indiana University professor mary gray, who was also a Senior Researcher with Microsoft Research. Professor gray, are we being studied and researched when we go online . Yes. Simple answer, yes. In the sense that any company that is trying to figure out how to best serve their users, how to show them the best website, how to show them the best information from their friends, is constantly trying to assess what makes the best Information Service for you. At the same time, universities for the last 20 years, as weve moved more and more social has been moving to think of this as a social environment. This is the public square. There are plenty of universities and researchers like myself who have come up with, you know, over the years, come up with Research Projects that have to do with studying peoples experiences online. And in both those cases, there is as much inter
