The firms who will beat Google to get us into self-driving cars..

Google is going tvfygo Google is going to be beaten to the punch. For years consumers have eagerly awaited the public launch of the firm’s self-driving cars: autonomous pods that will leave us free to read, watch TV or work on tasks other than driving. Now it seems as if traditional car manufacturers are about to take the lead. General Motors said that it would spend $500 million with car-hailing service Lyft to build “an integrated network of on-demand autonomous vehicles in the US”. Toyota is building a new research institute to work on autonomy, while Audi, BMW, Ford and others also announced progress in their efforts to develop driverless cars. Mercedes has developed a self-driving research vehicle (pictured above) and taxi app Uber has already announced billions of dollars in autonomous car investment. On the map At the moment, Google doesn’t have much of this extra data and neither does anyone else. But now, car manufacturers are banding together to make their own ma
Hey friends ! Im here shashank taking u too the intresting world where you will know about the technology nd science in an intresting way. TODAY i bought u some crazy facts on environmental physics which u know as basics but all i wanna say is it create your intrest more on these science based things hope u enjoy it CRAZY FACTS 1 . Air near the surface of the ocean moves slower than air at higher altitudes due to friction with the water. Albatross can use the a north-south wind speed gradient to fly without flapping their wings when going east-west by moving downwind at higher altitudes to gain speed relative to ground and then moving to a lower altitude before going in their intended direction wow thats cool ryt . . . . 2 .   The hypothetical sterile neutrino does not interact via any of the fundamental interactions in the Standard Model except gravity. ohhh la la. . . 3 . Water in the liquid state possesses many molecular interactions which broaden the absorption peak an

Pocket-Sized Device Charges Your Phone with Water

LAS VEGAS ­– A sleek new device could help you charge your phone without an electric outlet. Swedish startup MyFC unveiled its cool technology, dubbed JAQ, here at CES on Jan. 6. The device, which is small enough to slip into your back pocket, is a fuel cell charger. It uses saltwater and oxygen to convert chemical energy into electricity. Then it uses that electricity to charge your phone's battery. The charger consists of a credit card-shaped "power card" and a hollowed out port that's roughly the size of a smartphone. The card contains saltwater, which fuels electricity-producing chemical reactions when you slip the card into the port. To get that electricity to your phone's battery, you simply plug your phone into the port with a standard cable. [Smartphones With the Longest Battery Life] One JAQ power card produces about 1,800 milliampere-hours' (mAH) worth of electricity — that's nearly enough energy to fully charge an iPhone 6S.

Brain Mapping

Neuroscientists have worked for decades to better understand how the brain functions. Recent advances in brain mapping technology have made that ambitious task easier. An international team of researchers at the Human Brain Project have created a three dimensional atlas of the brain. The maps resolution is fifty times better than previous efforts. The atlas creators digitally stitched together thousands of brain cross-sections. The map shows details up to 20 micrometers in size—the estimated size of many human cells. While this is a huge advancement, scientists still aim to create a map that shows details at 1 or 2 micrometers, rather than 20.

Ultraprivate Smartphones

As concerns over personal privacy grow, particularly in terms of new technology, a Maryland-based company seeks to provide an alternative. Silent Circle, encrypts clients’ voice calls, text messages, and file attachments. Encryption prevents potential eavesdroppers from listening in on phone calls and protects metadata. Silent Circle has big plans for the future including a secure smartphone called Blackphone. Blackphone will utilize encryption tools currently used by Silent Circle, as well as other software that will help secure data.

Agricultural Drones

Farmers have begun to use agricultural drones adorned with cameras to improve the treatment of their crops. The drones allow farmers a unique perspective that previously-used satellite imagery could not provide. They help to expose issues with irrigation treatment, soil variation, and distressed plants at a much lower cost than methods like crop imaging with a manned aircraft. The success of the drones is made possible by technological advances in GPS modules, digital radios, and small MEMS sensors. Together, these advances allow farmers to bring greater precision to their craft in order to reap greater rewards.

The launch of new leTV

Chinese brand Letv, which is expected to launch its range of smartphones in India later this month, has showcased the Le 3D helmet, LeMe Bluetooth-enabled earphones, and an internet enabled Super Cycle these are osmm leTV 3D helmet The Le 3D Helmet offers a 5.5-inch 2K LCD display manufactured by Sharp. The helmet gets a USB Type-C port to connect to smartphones, and is being touted as an optimal device for viewing videos and playing games. leTV headphones The LeMe Bluetooth-enabled headphones offer a frequency response of up to 20Hz, and come with a 195mAh rechargeable battery, which delivers 10 hours of talk time and 26.5 days of standby time, and charges in about two hours. leTV super Cycle The LeTV Super Cycle on the other hand is an internet-enabled bicycle that comes with several integrated sensors. It collects health-related date, and is pre-equipped with keyless and chainless anti-theft technology along with a fingerprint sensor. It has built-in PTT walkie-talkie, Bluetoo
