Ever had that clumsy friend or driver that’s always falling into things? Well now there’s a solution! Only catch is they haven’t developed the same technology for use on humans. So we got to wait. Seriously though a drone has been developed that is crash proof!

Its made by “Flyability” a Swiss company, and they’ve developed a drone that will remain stable even after you’ve crashed it into a wall. Its got a cage that sits around the drone and they call it Gimball, its so smart it will use the collisions to help find its way around by the use of algorithms. I wonder if thats what drunk people use when they’re crashing into walls and parked cars – to find their way home. 

Now only if I could enter this drone into the racing league we spoke about before……

Want to get sucked into oblivion?!

Well remember those vacuum tube networks that businesses used to use to send papers across large buildings? Hyperloop is basically that, but big enough to shoot people cross-country at amazing speeds.

First, the tube is six feet wide, and is maintained as a low-pressure environment, to prevent the passenger pod from touching the tube, it’ll float slightly above it, either on a cushion of air or using magnetic levitation.

Because it doesn’t have to deal with as much air resistance, Hyperloop is expected to hit 750MPH, more than twice as fast as the Central Japan Railway’s record-breaking 366MPH speed run.

Spotify’s bored of just having you use your ears on their service, now they’re infiltrating your eyes too! A new video streaming service is said to be ‘starting this week’

The Wall Streey Journal says that video content will be available on Android apps “starting this week”, while those using iOS will have the service “by the end of next week”

Apparently dropping in the UK, US, Germany and Sweden, and the first wave of content will be provided by the likes of “ESPN, Comedy Central, the BBC, Vice Media and Maker Studios”.

Videos will be “contextually relevant” based on the kinds of music you listen to.

As well as short playlists of video content neatly packaged up to watch, types of videos will be more short form like “News of the Week” or “Laughs at Lunch”.
