Asimo & James May

[Shorty15c4007]

The only way a robot can take over the world is if is capable to. Give something power like the ability to kill, or the ability to not be killed, that is when we are in trouble. I say this because it wont take long before some 'genius' hacks the robot's AI and make it does something stupid.

[85ZingoGTR]

This is truly amazing. We are witnessing the first robot with the ability to make judgement. What amazes me even more, if you observe him in the scenes where James is just talking with the guy and no one is near Asimo, he looks around observing his environment.

[Nightmonkey17]

That's some HAL shit right there.

[Zunouno]

which season of top gear is this on? Anyone know the episode?

[Shorty15c4007]

@Zunouno Read the description smart one. Its in spanish, google a free translator.

[julianleeho]

[donnomar]

@julianleeho asimo is property of Honda, they have one on each research center around the world, this is honda germany

[Tome4kkkk]

Where can I find the next part on ASIMO imagination? Or what is the name of the series and number of episode?

[toyotaprius79]

[blain93]

OMG ITS STIG MK1

[eriick013]

This is so amazing.

[namas000]

cooooooool :)

[Narutoer321]

whats the name of the music starting at 3:52?

[RnB123100]

no 1 show it how 2 use an ak47

[samsite84]

Made in Japan.

Japanese are the smartest people on earth,

without them we could not have these amazing technologies.

[darkelf2x1]

@samsite84

WWII suggests otherwise

[ViralMessiah]

except for all the,well,everything,that gets invented in the US,Japan just makes things cheaper

[samsite84]

Wrong sir,

Everything that gets invented in Japan gets copied in the US and makes things cheaper.

Thats why Americans have lots of useless and Unreliable Products, and their people (Americans) eats it up because they "think" their country is the best.

No offence.

and btw don't be a fanatic patriot, open your eyes and mind and look whats outside your country.

[ViralMessiah]

ok,we didn't invent the car,i think that was a french guy,but the US did invent the computer,which is whats relevant to this situation. the first computer was made in Iowa...i'm not a fanatic patriot,i've just read a book. so,yes,cars didn't start out here,and our current cars kinda suck. but it sounds like you're probably the fanatic patriot,claiming that the US makes unreliable products,and thats simply not the case. in fact,most of the Japanese branded cars are made here anyway

[samsite84]

@ViralMessiah,

Me patriot? LOL im not even japanese and i don't live in Japan, the made the computer so? any thing else? im talking now in our era?

Japanese branded cars infact all car manufactures are building there cars in different places, but the quality is straight from their country.

go to japan and you will be amazed, most of there products (the best ones)don't leave their country.

anyways i just prised other country than my country, but you came here and said yours is better, hypocrite.

[ViralMessiah]

I've been to japan,and a lot of other places for that matter. I never said my country was better than anyone elses. I just shot a hole in a fallacy that you were making. not everything was invented in japan,There is no smartest country in the world. and if there were,it'd probably be the country that buys all the smart people from the other countries,like the US. we may not make all of the smartest people,but we sure do collect them,kinda like the New York Yankees

[samsite84]

@ViralMessiah,

Thanks for proving my point,

and should i add, the only people who are buying smart people (Japanese and Germans) are the people from Dubai, they have Burj Al Arab the worlds most luxurious hotel made by Japanese engineers, also dubai palm island.

have a nice day sir.

[ViralMessiah]

you're an idiot,don't get run over by a smart ass japanese car

[samsite84]

Typical american answer(when they don't having nothing else to say).

[ViralMessiah]

don't be mad because you come from a third world country...don't hate,participate

[Thesixthgoon]

Americans didn't make the car...that was the Germans. The world wide web? Sir Tim Berners-Lee made that. He was British. the world's first programmable, digital, electronic, computing device the colossus? British made that too.

....just saying.

[dehartfan13]

that makes me think of terminator and skynet ther soo innocent but then they go apeshit but still very cool

[xdragosx]

this is the robot that cartman uses to trick buters:p

[respectbluder]

so how long is it untill they take over the world

lol

[Shadowsniper689]

As soon as Skynet is activated. Sleep lightly.

[desimunda116]

Asimo is awesome. I hope they really make him for the general public I would love to have him in my home

[robsmoran]

It won't be cheap lol, they're $150,000 a month to lease in Japan

[desimunda116]

wow please tell me you accidentally put a dollar sign and meant to put 150,00 Yen

[robsmoran]

nope

[sbusterhyman]

I wonder how detailed the word associations that asimo can do are. Can it tell the difference between a coupe from a sedan or station wagon? Could it even learn the difference between new and old mini coopers?!

[JUKIO01]

thats a good question, i want to know the answer too. but it looks to me like its just ALOT of programming

[Swaitek]

Well, it seems that Asimo is reset every time. If he wouldn't and could keep his knowledge, I think he could see the difference between types of cars or even brands, maybe the limit is how many details can he see in every item. Anyway, it's amazing.

[pitabread79]

That robot is fantastic! That must have been a wonderful experience for May.

[greeksrock]

can anyone post the whole episode please?

[TheCongressman1]

I know, I have looked all over for the other part of this.

[Swaitek]

I've got the whole episode, but I'm very busy at this moment, give me some days, or even weeks and I will if you want. I could do it, but I think I won't have time to translate it (I supponse you don't care about that :P).

[crazylit]

please post the whole episode online. It is really interesting what happened later on

[soulzito]

Great video quality.

[JZZ31]

James rules.
