Tech giants including Alphabet and IBM are racing toward building a quantum computer, and financial firms including JPMorgan are exploring possible uses.
TuSimple, a transportation company focusing on driverless tech for trucks, recently transported a load of products with its autonomous truck systems.
The road to fully autonomous trucks is a long and winding one, but it’s not an impossible one, and it seems to be in closer reach than fully self-driving cars.
The company in charge of the feat was TuSimple, a transportation company focusing on driverless tech for trucks. Eighty percent of the journey, or 950 miles (1,528 km), was driven by the autonomous system, with a human at the wheel for the other 20 percent of the cross-country trip, and at-the-ready to take over the wheel if anything faulted with the technology.

Back in the 1970s, the Soviet Union began an ambitious project to drill down 15 km. Whilst they didn’t succeed, the Kole Superdeep Borehole is still the deepest vertical borehole in the world.
Does this really come as a shock to anyone?
The financial behemoth privately fears that regular people have too much leverage.
🗑️ Space junk (space debris, space pollution, space waste, or space garbage) is defunct man-made objects in space (mainly in Earth orbit) that no longer serve a useful function.
👀 And here is how its number has changed over the past 60 years.
*As of January 2021, the US Space Surveillance Network reported 21,901 artificial objects in orbit above the Earth, including 4,450 operational satellites. However, these are just objects large enough to be tracked.
Can we deflect an asteroid if it were to hit Earth? Scientists launched a mission to test it out:
Circa 2019 😀 What a fun mind controlled toy drone 😗
How much more fun could drones be if you got fiddly hand controllers out of the way and flew them with your mind? That’s the question EEGSmart poses with its UDrone mini-quad, which responds to brainwaves and head movements instead of thumbsticks. It’s not perfect, but it does give a glimpse of a mind-controlled future.
