  • Monaco-based eVTOL company McClic just launched the MC One, a personal flying machine that's a coaxial octocopter
  • It's a streamlined, easy to use, one-seater that's essentially a fuselage connected to 4 beams with 2 propellers on each beam
  • Range:  12 to 15 minutes on a charge
  • Top speed:  50 mph 
  • Cost:  $150,000 
  • Flies like a drone with a flight control system that automatically balances the electric vehicle, makes adjustments based on wind conditions & allows the pilot to enjoy the flight
  • Can be flown after 10 minutes of training
  • Flies at an angle up to 55-degrees
  • Can carry a pilot up to 198 pounds
  • Can be ordered for delivery next year.

  • The 1st design concept from the GM China Advanced Design Center is a ground-braking Buick Proxima concept sedan

  • GM says the concept totally reinvents the philosophy and the proportions of Buick's flagship sedan 
  • The EV has a next-G electric powertrain that increases interior space & comfort
  • The Design Center has recruited a lot of top, young Chinese automotive design and engineering talent who are tasked with designing innovative solutions for the next generation of customers in China and elsewhere
  • According to GM's Chief of Design in China Stuart Norris, the rapid technological developments in China are allowing the reimagining of vehicles
  • Proxima is Buick's 1st, full-sized sedan with new design styling, signature lighting & gullwing doors
  • Proxima means next in Portuguese & Spanish
  • The EV is modeled on the new electric vehicle architecture that GM is expected to debut in the next 5 to 10 years - it's a new take on the future of Buick.

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) can envision what dogs will look like from the impacts of Climate Change on them
  • AI predicts that protection measures in dogs will develop from the rising temperatures caused by CC including shorter snouts to make it easier to breathe and thicker hair on their feet to protect them from the hot ground
  • Forecasts include dogs to be more foxlike with huge ears & hairless legs to dissipate excess heat
  • Also, lighter hair and blonder/white haired dogs to deflect the heat
  • These forecasts come from AI platforms by Gencraft and Midjourney that generated future evolutions in man's best friend
  • Changes in characteristics in dogs take 8 generations to become fixed in breeds.

VIZR & Smartphone Advanced Display Source: VIZR Heads-Up Display Gadget VIZR is an advanced navigation display that grips to the car dashboard. You put your smartphone on VIZR and it turns your smartphone into a transparent display that lets you navigate and drive while never taking your eyes off the road.  The heads-up display (HUD) uses the same technology that fighter pilots use to stay focused.  The system offers a number of apps to view such as navigational tools like GPS, street maps, traffic conditions and speed. Distracted Driving Over 424,000 drivers are injured yearly by distracted driving.  For instance, by looking back and forth between a screen on the car seat and the road.  This new piece of smart gadget technology is designed to change the dynamic and enable the driver to navigate and keep their eyes on the road for greater driving safety.

US Army Invention - Drone Defense Source:  US Army Drone Netting Device Drone Netting Grenade U.S Army researchers have created a 40 mm grenade to protect the armed forces from menacing, enemy or rogue drones.  The defensive drone grenade takes out the drone with a weighted net. Countermeasure - Net Bagging a Drone The net is spring loaded and ejects from the front of the grenade when it nears the drone target.  The net can be triggered remotely by a person on the ground or automatically by an onboard proximity sensor. Drone Defense The net springs open to 30 feet in diameter.  It traps the drone, causing it to fall to the ground.  Word of this new drone defensive technology has just been released.  For more news stories on important innovations, go to  amazon.com/author/ekane
