It's a titanic undertaking: to achieve it, Tesla would have to sell the equivalent of all its cars in one year... Read more
The Google Car triggers an accident
One of the #Google Cars being tested was hit by a second car that had run a red light. Unfortunately, the software does not conceive of "wrong" human choices, such as running a red light. Who's wrong? This is the worst #accident ever recorded for a Google car and the fault, says the company, lies with a human. The autonomous car, a Lexus SUV, was crossing an intersection when it was hit by another car that ran a red light. For … Read more
Larry Page dreams of flying cars
Larry Page, co-founder of Google, is betting everything on flying cars. Page has in fact invested over 100 million dollars in Zee.Aero, a Californian startup that has designed a flying car.

A flying car was already being designed almost 100 years ago, but, needless to say, these were failed attempts. Today, however, there are more suitable materials and more advanced technologies: for example, the use… Read more
Motobot: Yamaha has its automatic centaur
Directly from the Tokyo Motor Show 2015 one of the most attractive elements: a robot-centaur presented by Yamaha. Its name is Motobot: it is a concept being tested by the research and development department of the Japanese company. A device capable of driving an unmodified motorbike, currently at a speed of 120km per hour but expected to reach 200km per hour. The first bike 'ridden' by Motobot is a YZF-R1M. One of the most interesting challenges… Read more
6 bets for the future
The list of technologies under study is very long and is constantly updated: one of the latest lists of future developments that could change the world forever comes from the Institute of Ethics and Emerging Technologies, a research center founded in 2004 by a philosopher, Nick Bostrom, and a bioethicist, James Huges. The list, drawn up with the consultancy of futurologist Gray Scott, presents really interesting elements: here are the "magnificent" 6 technologies that could arrive in the near future. Age reversal… Read more
Holland drops 5 axles for the motorway of the future
We often tend to think of innovations in the field of road safety as solutions limited to cars, but a team of Dutch designers makes us understand how the road itself can also play an active role. This gave rise to a series of interesting studies to make driving safer. The Glowing Lines concept takes inspiration from the lines of reflectors that can be found here and there on European motorways, but replaces the latter with a special luminescent paint in … Read more
