A growing number of manufacturers are locking perfectly good hardware behind arbitrary software restrictions. While this ought to be a bigger controversy, people seem to keep paying for things like …read more Continue reading Getting Root Access on a Telsa
While the concept of automotive “autopilots” are still in their infancy, pretty much any aircraft larger than an ultralight will have some mechanism to at least hold a fixed course …read more Continue reading Next-Gen Autopilot Puts a Robot at the Controls
Harvesting energy from the wind has been a commercially viable way of generating clean energy for around three decades now. Wind turbines are a reliable, proven technology but they do …read more Continue reading Go Fly a Kite
While pilots commonly use an autopilot when cruising at high altitudes, they typically switch to manual control when entering crowded lower airspaces. However, what if the plane has no pilot? Well, a new AI autopilot system for busy airspaces may be th… Continue reading AI autopilot could let autonomous aircraft fly in busy airspaces
With high-altitude ballooning, you are at the mercy of the winds, which can move your payload hundreds of kilometers and deposit it in some inaccessible spot. To solve this [Yohan …read more Continue reading R2Home Is Ready To Bring Back Your High Altitude Payload
Tesla has started releasing its much-hyped “Full Self-Driving” beta 9.0 software to selected early-access users, upgrading their Autopilot systems with new off-highway autonomous capabilities and better visualizations.Continue ReadingCategory: Automoti… Continue reading Tesla’s new Full Self Driving beta 9.0 still looks a bit too exciting
Sometimes bad software is all that is holding good hardware back. [Michael Melchior] wanted to scavenge some motors and propellers for another project, so he bought an inexpensive quadcopter intending …read more Continue reading Taking Reverse Engineering to the Skies: Cheap Drone Gets PX4 Autopilot
Most amateur high altitude balloon payloads descend back to earth with a simple non-steerable parachute and can land hundreds of kilometers from the launch site in inaccessible areas. [Yohan Hadji] experienced this first-hand during a balloon launch conducted by his high school, which inspired him to R2Home, a GPS-guided parachute …read more

Self-driving technology is a holy grail that promises to forever change the way we interact with cars. Thus far, there’s been plenty of hype and excitement, but full vehicles that remove the driver from the equation have remained far off. Tesla have long posited themselves as a market leader in …read more
