Future of the Car:

In the first half of Thursday's show, the host of Popular Science Radio and automotive aficionado, Alan Taylor , discussed the future of the car and how the automobile is becoming more than just transportation. He weighed in on various innovations including driver-less functions, efficiency, car-to-car connectivity and communications. Because so many cars these days end up having recalls (which often are minor repairs or updates funded by the manufacturer), he expressed some concern over the safety of driver-less or autonomous vehicles, when they finally do launch, years or decades from now.

Right now, we have cars that drive themselves somewhat but they are more like driver's aids, he explained. For instance, some models are equipped with radar and cameras that watch the road, and can hit the brakes if you fail to do so, when a vehicle suddenly stops in front of you. More than 90% of car crashes involve human error, so when this type of technology becomes ubiquitous, it will save thousands of lives each year, he said. Though cars are now made with lighter weight materials, they are much safer than those from previous generations. "In the old days, they built the car to take the punishment; today the car gives up its life to save yours" with the materials designed to crush away from the passengers," Taylor noted.

Chronic Pain:

In the latter half, orthopedic spinal surgeon Dr. David Hanscom talked about the problem of chronic pain, and how to control or eliminate it. There are millions of Americans who suffer from some type of chronic pain- possibly as high as 25 to 40% of the population, and more people have gone on disability every month than have found new jobs, he reported.

There are important differences between acute and chronic pain, he cited. The experience of chronic pain (which goes on for months or years) becomes associated with anxiety and emotional distress as they are processed in similar parts of the brain or on intersecting pathways, he explained. Instead of surgery, which can cause more chronic pain, in many cases Hanscom said he's able to help his patients learn about the variables that are causing their pain. A central part of their treatment involves getting a handle on their anxiety and anger, and other facets might include diet and alternative medicine approaches.

Today in Strangeness:

It was 58 years ago tonight that Mon-Ka of Mars (via contactee Dick Miller) requested certain radio frequencies be cleared at 10:30pm so a message to the people of Los Angeles could be sent from their craft 10,000 miles above. A tongue-in-cheek AP story publicized the event and 2 radio stations went off the air as a gimmick. Alas, Mon-Ka was a no-show.
