The glow-in-the-dark pavement is charged by the sun during the day and emits its own light for up to 10 hours at night, eliminating the need for energy-consuming street lights. The glow-in-the-dark pavement is just the first stage of many potential projects engineers are testing to make roadways safer and more energy efficient.
Everyone is concerned when driving on a dark road if the road markers are not clearly visible or if the lighting is insufficient. Fortunately, Tarmac Linemarking, an Australian firm that works with OmniGrip and Vicroads, has made a fresh breakthrough by generating glow-in-the-dark road markings that resemble children’s toys. According to a report by News.com.au published on Thursday. The test was conducted on a one-kilometer section of the Metong Road in Victoria’s southeast and images were posted on Facebook.
Allowing the driver of an autonomous vehicle to watch a movie, a dealer to sell automobiles from a “virtual” car lot, or an engineer to simulate how a new part fits: the auto industry is getting a tantalizing taste of the metaverse at the huge CES technology show.
One gadget on display in Las Vegas is an in-car television system, developed by French parts maker Valeo, that needs no remote.
To change the channel, drivers or passengers wearing a headset make a simple swipe in the air with their hand, and sensors in the car detect the movement.
Color-changing cars. Flying taxis. And a gaming-style tablet that can steer a vehicle.
Car companies descended on CES in Las Vegas this week to show off their latest ideas—some quirky and far out, others more relevant in the near term—as the industry navigates technological shifts in its business.
During the week, car executives unveiled new in-car software, hyped automated-driving tech, and highlighted new partnerships and investment deals. Auto makers in recent years have accelerated the rollout of their new battery-powered models.
With 2023 right around the corner, we make 5 predictions that will happen in the artificial intelligence (AI) world.
5 Predictions.
1) GPT-4 to be released.
2) Autonomous Vehicles as primary source of transportation for general population.
3) Evolution of search engines.
4) Humanoid robot development.
5) Run out of data to train AI language models.
The visually impaired are getting a helping hand (or a helping belt, as it were) from Korean startup AI Guided. At CES in Las Vegas, the company was showing off some pretty neat tech that incorporates optical and Lidar technology along with AI-powered on-device computing to identify obstacles and help with navigation.
The company claims to be able to do advanced object identification to help keep walkers safe, in addition to using gentle haptic feedback to help with wayfinding. The whole system is carried on a belt, leaving the users hands-free.
The bike can hit the 60 mph mark in three seconds and offers a top speed of 124 mph.
Making its foray into the US market, Davinci Motor has debuted its first electric motorcycle — DC100, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 in Las Vegas. The Chinese manufacturer focuses on producing high-performance electric offerings with a long-range to rival traditional liter-class motorcycles.
The streetfighter-inspired design encapsulates an electric motor that produces 135 bhp of peak power and 850 Nm of torque. The self-developed synchronous AC motor is mounted directly on the rear wheel of the motorcycle. DC100 features a 17.7 kWh battery pack and weighs 562 lbs (255 kg).
A flying car could be tested by the public in America as early as next year.
Jet-ski champion and over-water hoverboard inventor Franky Zapata’s latest innovation is the JetRacer, a single-seat car that can fly.
The vehicle, which has 10 rocket-fuel powered jet engines, can theoretically reach 260km/h (161mph) and fly for 50 minutes.
The so-called “flying race car” is still in the test-flight stage and unavailable to buy any time soon, but some members of the public in the US are expected to be able to take it for a spin in 2023.
The world’s first four-seater electric vehicle can travel up to 250 miles by air on a single charge.
The first fully-functional prototype of the ASKA A5 electric drive and fly Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) vehicle was introduced at CES 2023, according to a press release by the firm published on Wednesday.
Traveling 250 miles on a single charge
ASKA A5 is the size of an SUV and the world’s first four-seater electric vehicle that can travel by road and up to 250 miles by air on a single charge.
Yet, it is a small percentage of its workforce.
Amazon.com Inc., one of the largest technology companies in the world with presence in ecommerce, advertising, video streaming and cloud computing, has announced that it will be laying off 18,000 workers as the company copes with the economic downturn in the future, The Wall Street Journal.

Technology companies in the U.S. began laying off people as early as June last year, when Tesla began reducing its staff strength as CEO Elon Musk had a “super bad feeling” about the economy. As the year drew to a close, software-focused companies also announced job cuts, with Meta leading the list with as many as 11,000 employees facing the axe.
