While there are now systems that allow cars to see pedestrians or vehicles which their drivers may not notice, such setups typically still can’t detect hazards that aren’t in direct line of sight. A new technology, however, uses other vehicles and road… Continue reading “Collective perception” tech lets connected cars see hidden hazards
Oakland-based electric mobility firm Unagi has teamed up with acclaimed industrial designer Yves Behar for a smooth-looking, full-suspension e-kickscoot with AI smarts that warn riders of possible collisions with people or objects.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Full-suspension electric kickscooter comes with collision warning system
Over the years we’ve brought you many stories that follow the world of aviation as it struggles with the arrival of multirotors. We’ve seen phantom drone encounters cause panics and …read more Continue reading Drone Hits Plane — And This Time It’s A Real (Police) One!
If you’re the user of a powered wheelchair, it goes without saying that you really don’t want that chair to tip over, or to crash into obstacles. The LUCI system – which gets added to existing chairs – is intended to keep those things from happening.Co… Continue reading LUCI adds collision avoidance and anti-tip tech to powered wheelchairs
There are plenty of rocks floating around the solar system, but Apophis has attracted more than its share of attention due to several projected close shaves with Earth in the coming decades. While most impacts have now been ruled out, a previously-over… Continue reading Asteroid’s drifting orbit may impact chance of 2068 collision with Earth
Jupiter is a gigantic ball of churning gas clouds, and that makes it hard to see what’s in the middle. It’s believed to be a relatively small, rocky core, but data from the Juno probe found that it’s less dense and more spread out than expect… Continue reading An ancient planet, 10 times bigger than Earth, may have crashed into Jupiter
Of all the things you don’t want to lose, an asteroid with a chance of striking Earth is pretty high up the list. A space rock called 2006 QV89 has been missing in action for 13 years, after it was discovered to be on an orbit that regularly brought it too close to Earth for comfort. Now astronomers have finally found it again, and ruled out an impact within the next century.

A Canadian startup is trying to push some pretty out-there new technologies into the motorcycle world. Variable riding position geometry, for one, as well as a traffic-tracking collision warning system designed to give riders an extra margin … Continue reading Damon prototypes shape-shifting electric motorcycle with 360-degree collision warnings
Regular Hackaday readers will have noted a succession of stories following the reports of drones in the air over British airports and in proximity to aircraft. We’ve consistently asked for a better quality of investigation and reporting into these cases, because so far the absence of reported tangible evidence of …read more
