Kia May Be Way Behind Electric Wave with Niro, But NiroBot Gives Brand Some Leadership

Kia has a lot at stake with the introduction of Niro, its first hybrid utility vehicle. The brand hasn't exactly embraced electrification until now, but pressures from global regulators and expectations of consumers -- who have become used to nearly every car brand fielding a range of electrified models -- have [...]

Is This the Killer App for Virtual Reality? Six Flags Adds VR to Real-Life Roller Coasters

Gamers aside, the scope of consumers' interest in VR experiences remains in question. Now Samsung and Six Flags may have an answer.

VR by itself is pretty fun, but when you add other objects, in this case the interactive seats, the experience is one that you have to witness for yourself to see its potential. At Samsung - 837 Washington (which I highly recommend you visit), you can experience a 2-minute roller coaster ride, and play with other fun gadgets. Although I was a fan of Virtual Reality before, having witnessed the immersive experiences it can create, I'm now a true believer.

A true technology playground. This is the VR Tunnel, but the real treat is the VR rollercoaster experience, with interactive seats. It's mind blowing. (at Samsung - 837 Washington)

Self-driving cars are coming to American roads, ready or not.

[cesar-razuri]

Similar to air traffic controllers, this startup provides an entire infrastructure that manages driverless vehicles, as well as end-users.

This space is interesting, and to be honest, more rewarding than the flying cars I was promised as a kid. In terms of man-power, you’ll still need someone to control these vehicles so I’d imagine a new set of job skills for autonomous vehicle management may replace the physical driver.

The inevitable, of course. Interesting to see if transit advertising will innovate... or not.

Assuming it's BT enabled, I wonder how the phones battery life will be affected. Still, I imagine these will be high quality products. Other phones manufacturers will follow suit, I'm sure.

Twitter Considering 10,000-Character Limit for Tweets

Say good-bye to the 140-character constraint.

Just as long as the content you see on your feed remains 140 characters, I think it’s a smart move. Twitter will now become a micro AND macro blogging site.
