StoreDot has unveiled a prototype EV battery (I-BEAM XFC) with extremely fast charging (XFC). According to the company, the new battery can be recharged by 100 miles of range (about 160 km) in just 5 minutes. Charging with such high currents is possible thanks to an innovative battery cooling system, in this solution each cell is cooled directly and not the entire battery, thanks to which there is no point overheating of individual battery cells that threatens spontaneous combustion. The I-BEAM XFC is still a prototype, but the company has already secured several patens associated with it and is preparing for series production.

Katrick Technologies (from Glasgow) has developed a new type of wind turbine, hexagonal in shape, in which there are no spinning blades and instead oscillating aerofoils behave like a flag in the wind, thus generating electricity.

Waymo claims that their driverless cars are much safer than cars with a human behind the wheel. The statistics collected after driving 7 million kilometers clearly prove that this is the case. During the 7.14 million kilometers driven, there were only 3 collisions with injuries. Tesla also claims that their autopilot causes far fewer accidents than humans, but Tesla does not disclose the data on which it bases such claims. With Waymo, all data is public. Autonomous cars have been heavily criticized lately, but the data revealed by Waymo shows that software for autonomous cars is making great progress, and their popularization can drastically reduce the number of collisions on the roads. Would you like to drive such a car? I do.

He can stand on his back wheels, do squats or put boxes in containers. It is also impressive how it handles opening the door or how it moves on uneven terrain. They get a virtual reward if they complete the task correctly. This is called "curiosity-driven learning" The world in which robots will completely replace humans at work is not as far away as it may seem. Is that bad? Do not necessarily. It depends on how much we let them.
