Most people think of the Mojave Desert as a wasteland located
somewhere between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. For decades, though, Mojave
has served as something of an engineering playground
for people in the automotive and aerospace industries.
Bloomberg has
produced a documentary that looks at what's taking place with these
engineers in 2016. There's a dude trying to make a flying car, Richard
Branson with Virgin Galactic, a group called Hackrod
using artificial intelligence software to make a car chassis, and the
hacker George Hotz taking his self-driving car along the Las Vegas strip
for the first time.
One of the cooler parts of the show has a team of
students from UCSD sending up a rocket with a 3D printed engine
-- the first time any university team had pulled something like this
off.
Overall, it's a cool look at the strange desert rat tinkerers.
