Simone recently acquired and made a video about her tiny electric commuter car from the early 1980s. The most exciting part of the process is figuring out how to make it move the way I want to, she says. Do you return the parts or do you just keep them hoping you'll need them again? Simone: "I'm kind of running out of space a little bit"
YouTube's Sh*tty Robots machine-maker, very funny human being, professional tinkerer and potential astronaut Simone Giertz hops in Alie's car to hang out in a sketchy Hollywood alley and chat. Topics covered: the definition of a robot, artificial intelligence, the gateway to her thirst for engineering power, plastic animals, and topless grandmas.
