>> google is developing the technology. they are trying to get in the dashboard with the navigation systems. thats important because google is a software company and the software is key to this. a lot of this technology is available. you have the radars, the lasers and the cameras are. up drove a volvo. it can identify pedestrians and cyclists. so they are just taking that, shoving that information through their computer system and figuring out how to drive it yourself. thats the important part....

Questions and for some reason the va just shouldnt answer. in part it was concerning this new official report about the phoenix va where the scandal broke detailing a systemic manipulation of scheduling to cover up long wait times. just at the phoenix va there were 1700 vets who were wait for appointments but not even entered into the computer system. and 1100 of them saw an average wait time of 200 days. one of the committee members talked about a vet who was waiting two years for a hearing aid...

They are polling. the people that didnt have health insurance, they initially didnt like obamacare because of the rollout, because of the glitch in the computer system. but now, you see a little bit of a dip, and now thats going up, which means that people are getting the care that they need, and so when you look at these polls, you have to look at them with a grain of salt. take it with a grain of salt. because i can make -- i can say that people in hell want ice water and theyll get it if i ge...

Appointment was close enough to be due. then they would log it into the computer system so that washington and anyone else paying attention would think, hey, it was only 14 days or hey, it was only three weeks between when they asked for the pointment and when they got the it when in actuality vets or. waiting, six, seven, 8, 9, 10 months. it is a shell game to make numbers look better than theyre. veterans are dying in the process. do you know what the worse part about it, peter? this is just t...

Like once its made contact with water. even after a prolonged period in saltwater, data is still retrievable. >> weve had a good success rate with recovery. all of the recorders go through different stresses, but overall, weve had a very good success rate. >> have you ever not gotten data in a recovery in water? >> i cant think of one. >> reporter: recorders found in saltwater are first bathed in fresh water, then taken apart to reveal the memory card. even a damaged card can be useful. >> the d...

Memory card, which keeps track of data like the planes pitch, altitude and speed, is downloaded on to a computer system, where teams make sense of the data. to us it looks like zeros and ones. >> we get information from the manufacturer of the aircraft that has a data map, and that data map translates all the zeros and ones into actual parameters. >> reporter: for the cockpit voice recorder, a team of six to eight people helps transxrip the devices four channels picking up not just voices but ev...

But overall weve had a very good success rate with water recovery. >> reporter: have you ever not got end data in a water recovery? >> i cant think of one. >> reporter: recorders found in saltwater are first bathed in fresh water and later carefully dried and taken apart to reveal this. the devices memory card. even a damaged card can be useful says recorder engineer aaron. >> the data jumps from chip to chip. even if you have one corrupt chip because its cracked or some sort of corrosion on it ...

In a water recovery? >> i cant think of one. >> reporter: recorders found in salt water are first bathed in fresh water and later carefully dried and taken apart to reveal this. the devices memory card. even a damaged card can be useful, says recorder engineer erin gormley. >> it does jump from clhip to chip. even if you with have one cracked we should still be able to built the information back. >> reporter: information from the flight data recorders memory card which keeps track of data like t...

Function shortly after the last communication. it could have experienced an electrical problem. the component could have failed or it could have been switched off. we dont know. but what we do know is that the data link system known as acars was stopped from transmitting data, but the unit itself continued to talk to the satellites. that takes specialized knowledge and it takes some deliberate key strokes into the computer system to disable its ability to transmit data. thats a deliberate act by...
