Volocopter, an electric air taxi startup backed by Daimler, had its urban flight debut during a presentation at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart.
We previously reported on Volocopter in 2017 when they received a âŹ25 million ($30 million) investment led by Daimler, Mercedes-Benzâs parent company, and a few other investors.
The startup is developing an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOLs) aircraft aimed at creating electric air taxi services in urban areas.
Tesla owners who travel with kids can breathe an extra sigh of relief with the electric car makerâs V10 Update, as the company has introduced a new feature known as âJoe Mode.â The new feature will allow drivers to lower the volume of alerts and prompts that will are engaged while the vehicle is in motion.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced some details on V10âs âJoe Modeâ earlier this year while replying to numerous followers who speculated about what new features will be coming to be new update. As one follower asked for a mode that would help keep his children asleep during drives, Musk replied with introductory information about the V10 feature.
Hoping to get âJoe Modeâ into V10. The default, of course, is normal volume, but selecting âJoe Modeâ would lower the volume of strident beeps & chimes by half.
A team from Dartmouth College and MIT has designed and conducted the first lab test to successfully detect and characterize a class of complex, ânon-Gaussianâ noise processes that are routinely encountered in superconducting quantum computing systems.
The characterization of non-Gaussian noise in superconducting quantum bits is a critical step toward making these systems more precise.
The joint study, published in Nature Communications, could help accelerate the realization of quantum computing systems. The experiment was based on earlier theoretical research conducted at Dartmouth and published in Physical Review Letters in 2016.

PARIS â The European Unionâs equivalent of a foreign ministry is starting a new effort to promote the need for sustainable space operations, but that effort will not initially include any new regulation of European satellite operators.
Carine Claeys, special envoy for space and head of the Space Task Force for the European External Action Service, said in a Sept. 13 panel discussion at Euroconsultâs World Satellite Business Week that the Safety, Security and Sustainability of Outer Space (3SOS) public diplomacy initiative will promote âethical conductâ in space amid concerns about orbital debris.
The acronym, she noted, has a second meaning. âIt is also three times SOS,â she said, âto create the case and a sense of urgency.â
NASA funds ambitious new CubeSat mission to prove navigation technology for crewed Artemis mission to the lunar surface.
The bottom line when it comes to Southeast Asiaâs exit environment for start-ups is that the ecosystem is simply more built out today as a result of now having the right ingredients.
Tech companies in the region are now starting to change the question from â can we exit? â to â how would we like to exit?

Bioweapons have been around for centuries, but with advances in synthetic biology weâre now able to make them from scratch.
