  • A 165-mile, super-highway for drones is being developed between the UK's Midlands and the Southeast.  Here's what we know:
  • It's a world first
  • Allows pilotless drones to make high speed deliveries across the country
  • Developed by Altitude Angel
  • Skeptics warn it poses risks for privacy and safety of Britons living in the flight path
  • Also, for people in the flight path, it may be annoying and intrusive
  • It will contain 30 Arrow-Towers to control drones from the ground
  • Each tower offers a range of 2.5 miles and coordinates traffic
  • Super-highway drones will fly at 400-feet while commercial aircraft will be at 35,000 feet
  • Altitude Angel estimates that no more than 10 drones will use the 165-mile super-highway a day
  • Also of significance, most of the drones are fixed wing and almost silent
  • The project has gotten the green light from the UK government and awaits Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approval.

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.
