Reusable Rockets: Space X


“If one can figure out how to effectively reuse rockets just like airplanes, the cost of access to space will be reduced by as much as a factor of a hundred.  A fully reusable vehicle has never been done before. That really is the fundamental breakthrough needed to revolutionize access to space.”   --Elon Musk
Space X

Space X introduced a new concept of traveling, they believe rockets can be reuse for covering distance. Space X launched their first rocket by the name of “Flacon 9” it cost around $54 million and it consumes the fuel around $200,000 which is 0.37% of the total cost of Rocket. Falcon 9 cost is similar to normal aircrafts, usually they conduct multiple flights on daily basis and thousands of flights during its lifetime. Space X also introduced a platform similar to airlines but way more faster, in general rockets are burned completely and remains of it are useless. Elon Musk succeeding in developing a model that can sustain the reentry friction and pressure applied the orbit circle of Earth (or any other planet).

Currently they are running Beta tests for their project as according to their vision and mission by the end of 2024 Elon Musk believe humanity will colonize mars and people will be able to cover such distance in the matter of days. Rocket traveling will be commercialized, people will be able to explore the new dimensions of traveling.

Oppo going fast and furious in the market arena

Oppo has been making its way in the smartphone business for quite some time now. With its flashy, yet graceful color schemes, it has established a trendy stance in the market. The brand has not just been up to date with the latest technological advancements, it has also been easy with its price range between Rs. 20,000 to 40,000.
OPPO



However, recently the company seems to be setting a benchmark with their two most exclusive smartphones launching back to back; the Oppo Find X and Oppo R17 Pro.
The Find X, following Oppo F7, is claimed to be the first smartphone to have a panoramic arc screen in the world combined with a unified pair of glass pieces to make one whole gorgeous front screen. It comes with a pop up selfie camera with a 6.2 inches AMOLED panel installed on the front and a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and a 98.3% screen ratio. With the facility of 3D cameras both for front and rear dual, it can now be used, not just for photographs, but for face recognition as well. The photography on the other hand, is now redefined with this experience.

With the aesthetics of an artist, you can now express your portraits the way you want.
Not only is the phone good with the visuals, it is also faster and more promising for its strength. Boosted with “Qualcomm Snapdragon 845” and a running memory of 8 GB, this smartphone ranks in the highest of performers. The RAM is as bigger as 256 GB which enables a smooth usage, especially when it comes to gaming with its “game acceleration mode”. The durability of the phone ensures a fall protection with a strength that is 300,000 times greater.
Features

The company has collaborated with Automobili Lamborghini to create an edition in its name where the two explore speed with design; incorporating a classic carbon texture that matches the design of the supercar. The speed is matched by introducing the “SuperVOOC Flash Charge”, the phone can be recharged in about half an hour.

Internet of Things (IoT)


The term IoT envelops everything associated with the web, however it is progressively being utilized to characterize objects that "talk" to one another. Thanks to the wireless system every physical thing can be connected via internet, over the period of time man has been working on developing equipment to facilitate ourselves in our daily routine, internet of things (IOT) Is a new step forward in setting our homes and offices installed with equipment which we can access through our cell phones and run through one click.

The term IoT is for the most part utilized for gadgets wouldn't usually be generally expected to have a web association, and that can speak with the system freely of human activity. Therefore, a personal computer is not commonly viewed as an IoT device similarly not even a cell phone. But turning your light bulb, Fan or toaster through an application from your phone then it will be IoT.
Internet of Things (IoT)

Internet of things concept started in the early 1980s in the start it attractive and interesting to business and manufacturers, where its application is in some cases known as machine-to-machine (M2M), but now it is penetrating our homes through smart devices and making our lives and relaxing. Plus side for this technology is transformation is relevant to every average person. By the end of 2020 more than half of our devices will be modified to smart devices.

Major headache of IoT is like all other smart devices is “Personal Data” because all these devices collet your data and operate accordingly to help you in all aspects for example from you wake up time to what you eat what you normally do in certain particular day and what are your favorite shows, meals, dressing etc. privacy issue always play integral part in use of products.

Tesla Model S


The future of transportation has changed and it’s a game changer with the new Tesla S. Tesla’s first car was launched in 2012 and nobody could have ever thought that it would capture so much of the car industry’s market share in such a short span of time. Tesla works on battery power and its electric power system has contributed to the green environment campaign as well due to its low emission of carbon dioxide. This four-door, five-seat saloon is the car that established Elon Musk’s California-based company as a force to be reckoned with, a company whose products deserve to stand alongside the likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. The model S has a conventional silhouette. Musk’s electric cars have proven their agility in thousands of videos of videos on Youtube beating giants like Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Mclarens and so on.

How is it on the Road?
Driving an EV is always a priceless experience, the lack of noise, the speed, the smoothness, amplifies the wind and its tyre roars has made it an incredible piece of technology. The comfortable seats and smooth ride with standard height adjustable air suspension makes it good for long drives. Autopilot is Tesla's suite of semi-independent driving help tech. It's an expensive choice, yet most likely worth having on the off chance that you invest a ton of your energy in motorways. Like frameworks from Merc, Audi, and so on, when enacted it handles the braking/quickening and gives directing help.
Model S interior

How is it on the inside?
It is impossible to not talk about the classy 17 inch display in tesla as it never stops to surprise their customers making them want more, the huge Lcd dominates the major part of the dashboard and replaces all but a handful of buttons. Model S has everything which one can think of like climate control, music, accurate navigation synched with google, headlights and even the sunroof. The driving position is fairly great and the seats themselves sufficiently agreeable. The headrests are of the non-removable assortment, so they cloud your view out of the back view reflect (which isn't extraordinary regardless).


Augmented Reality

Industries are evolving and developing equipment to attract customers to themselves, creating new environment from 2D to 3D then virtual reality (VR) now augmented reality (AR). Augmented reality is little different from virtual reality in virtual reality you experience computerize designed surroundings but in augmented reality you add in the reality.
It is not new technology as much as people think it is being used for few decades in fighting aircrafts showing directions speed etc.  Students of MIT worked on this program and succeeded it works with the help of sensors, smart projector and camera. Currently it operates through cell phones, but it is not limited to it main focus of the organizations is to replace tablets and cell phone with other things, it is not clear yet what it would be but they are working on it. Similarly, as glass has been evolved to smart glass, google glass is also making its mark in the market.
Concept of augmented reality
One of the most attractive way AR was introduced in the market in the form of game, we all might remember “Pokémon Go” it hooked players for a long time and It wound up making more than $2 billion and checking, as per Forbes. It turned into a sensation around the world, with more than 100 million evaluated clients at its top, as indicated by CNET

Just Walk Out : amazon go


Amazon Go
For past decade Amazon remained the market leader in E-Commerce industry and to retain this position it introduced a new concept/program called Amazon Go it runs in a system where you have a physical store where you can personally go and purchase the products (it can be utensils, groceries, electric items etc.) but you do not have to stand and wait in line at the cash counter all you have to do is install Amazon Go application. Store is installed with technology gadgets to track and deduct payment from your account and send you the receipt via notification on your application, Amazon call this idea “Just Walk Out”.
It uses the same technology which is founded in self driving cars, according to their sensors it can detect when and who picked the item off the shelf or returned it back.

You can feel/touch the product before you make a purchase and you do not have to stand and wait on counter for the payment.

Intelligent Apps: The Next Generation

The up and coming age of versatile applications will be the consequence of numerous universes impacting: when application advancement meets computerized reasoning, the Internet of Things and huge information investigation, insightful applications are the result. Put essentially, these are applications that ceaselessly gain from client connections and other information sources to wind up considerably increasingly significant and helpful. The underlying components that make up AI today—machine learning, natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning—have existed in an evolving form for many years.
Functional uses of Intelligent Applications:
1.      To add value in our daily lives intelligent apps will be automating our daily routine work.
2.      Provide relevant data to the application user (person or team) that needs it, at the appropriate time and with the proper context.
Intelligent Apps
Both of these methodologies exploit the quickly developing mass of organized and unstructured information that can be gotten to and utilized by organizations to settle on better business choices. These utilization cases open up chances to enhance profitability and choice exactness, and additionally worker and client encounter.

The first function, robotizing basic, routine assignments, is clear and alleviates clients from undertakings that divert and expend time, enabling them to concentrate on higher-esteem errands. A precedent would incorporate remote helpers that oversee plans, giving the capacity to facilitate gatherings without client mediation. An AI operator could likewise perform assignments that require coordination of accessible information into a yield, similar to an undertaking plan, a resupply arrange or even a bill of materials.
The second use case, giving choice help to clients that need to assess vast informational collections, has numerous applications over a business task. Maybe the least difficult precedent is in medicinal conclusion. An astute application doesn't make the finding, yet it can deal with enormous informational indexes to search for examples, potential ailments and medicines. It can oversee electronic wellbeing records, test information, patient and family ancestry, and hereditary data: requesting and contextualizing significant information to make the doctor's activity increasingly sensible.
Intelligent Application Uses in Real World:
For sales work force, smart applications could assess leads and openings, organize them, and even apply conduct models that would foresee which openings were well on the way to close and give the biggest return.

Client benefit clever applications could offer administration workers potential arrangements dependent on information of recorded information. Talk bolster bots that collaborate with individuals searching for help, and copy the experience of a live visit specialist, could free operator time up for increasingly basic issues. The equivalent application could likewise give arrangement suggestions straightforwardly to clients in a system or network

PlayStation 5

Since release of Ps4 on Nov 15, 2013 it has been a huge hit in the gaming world and has been famous for giving the best experience to users using Unreal Engine 4 technology. Though now it is end of an era for PlayStation 4 and gamers are turning and waiting for the long waited Ps5. Currently Sony is creating a hype and keeping release date a secret but we know that a PlayStation 5 release date will definitely be a one day exist, thanks to Sony Interactive Entertainment's President and CEO Shawn Layden confirming as much in an interview with Golem.de. On an interview with Financial Times the Sony president Kenichiro Yoshida confirmed that Sony is working on next generation console which will enhance user experience.
Early in May 2018, Sony interactive CEO John Kodera revealed that Ps5 won’t be releasing anytime soon then 2021. Even though no one knows exactly what is Sony working on and how are they going to present themselves and how are they going to stand out in this competitive market, so far the good news is that Sony is working on its new console. There is no confirmed date given by Sony on release of Ps5 but there is a word in the gaming communities and they are counting 2020. With arrival of 4K televisions and Ps4 pro it is expected that Ps5 would be a massive upgrade of Ps4 pro. Since there is no confirm dates for anything, So mark your calendars for 2019, 2020 and 2021.
PlayStation 5

Ps5 The VR effect:
In the world of gaming console manufacturing Sony is the first one to jump into this untapped market, thanks to PlayStation VR. If you experience PlayStation VR technology on Ps4 Pro, it shows the beauty and enhanced experience of how much better it can look on PlayStation 5. Currently VR wherever being used is working on low graphics and not so on the top of the quality animations, Ps4 Pro pushes the base limits which makes gamers wait a little more for Ps5.
Ps5 Competition:
In spite of the fact that we're repulsively anxious for news of a PlayStation 5 discharge date, we can't blame Sony for taking an additional couple of years to truly drain the remainder of the PS4, given it's immense and steadfast player base. All things considered, the PS4 Pro is still moderately new to the market and its immediate rival, the Microsoft's Xbox One X, is a considerably later discharge. If we're honest, we can't really see any urgent need to start a new generation right now. And given Microsoft's growing commitment to backwards compatibility, we think it's key for Sony to really think carefully about its next steps.

What make Firefox OS better than its competitors.

We cannot think about living a day without a cell phone and with time every information and data has shifted from desktop to cell phones in the form of applications. At this place Android and IOS take part to promote and facilitate customers with their service, but recently Mozilla introduced an ecosystem called Firefox OS to help the customers who are unable to afford the expenses incurred by the android and IOS.

Before sharing why Firefox OS is better first look at the issues faced by the customers from Androids and IOS:
1.      Application run on android and ios consume battery fast.
2.      You need high quality phone to experience the facilities provided by the android and ios which in term of cost is expensive.
3.      Your cell can not be upgradeable to every upgradation of android and ios, you need phone with good specs to meet the requirement. After certain period you have to change the cell to stay with up to date standards of ecosystem.

What’s new with Samsung Note 9?


Galaxy Note 9 has been one of the hit for Samsung in the technological world in 2018. Note 9 has a reputation as bleeding edge phone in the note series. It is the first with multi window software for running two different applications at the same time and consists of curved edge screen. The new Galaxy Note 9 starts from 999$ and it includes an S pen that improves the remote control in this device.
What’s new with Samsung Note 9?
S Pen: Now the stylus pen comes with a Bluetooth control, so it can be used for presentations, music control and taking pictures.
Huge Battery: Samsung Note 9 has a huge battery of 4000mAh which is the biggest in Samsung handset history. This is a huge step up if compared with Note 8 (3300mAh) but upon performance check Note 9’s battery wasn’t able to come up to expectations and it showed only marginal improvements
Galaxy Note 9AI Camera: The camera on the Note 9 can recognize 20 different scenes and can adjust in complex light situations to obtain the best results
Water Cooled: This monster uses a water carbon fiber cooling system to prevent heat to increase efficiency and to deliver sustained high performance.
Design: The most appealing feature of any phone is design and Note 9 has now been introduced in two elegant colors. It comes in Lavender Purple and Ocean Blue version, but Lavender Purple appears to capture most of the market due to its eye-catching elegance. However, ocean blue version is equipped with a yellow S pen, which writes in yellow on-screen memo mode. Shortly after release of Note 9, Cloud Silver and Midnight black colors were also introduced in the market and Samsung plans to sell them as their exclusive product with a premium price.
Though Note 9 is a beautiful phone but it takes a keen eye to differentiate between Note 8 and Note 9 as both are 6.4 inches long and 0.34 inches deep. Difference occurs in weight of both phones; the new Note 9 is slightly lighter the Note 8 but holding both the devices wouldn’t make such a difference as the weight is slightly low. The biggest change is the fingerprint sensor, which Samsung wisely moved from beside the dual-lens camera to beneath it. This makes it easier for those of us with small hands to easily unlock the phone without straining our stubby fingers.

Domestic Robots


I Robot Roomba
House chores are a part of life whether one likes it or not. In this fast moving world, it becomes even harder as one’s presence in various other errands is needed just as much. Technology continues to make life easy with innovations that were not believed possible in the past. One of these innovations is of domestic robots that are designed to make life easier by performing these tasks for the owner.
From dishes to dry-cleaning, mopping to lawn mowing, these robots tend to replace human labor and thus increase the efficiency in results. This is not a new concept of computerized houses; there are technologies like driers, remote controls, dishwashers, that have taken place of manual house handling.
The automated carpet cleaners called Roomba may not be a fully functioning vacuum cleaners, but they sure are much advanced than the former machine. With the facilitation of internet connectivity, these robots can have scheduled cleaning routines, which can be assigned from smartphone apps. You don’t have to carry them around to their place either, these machines return to their stations when the battery runs out. Similar is the case with rob mowers. Even though they are not as powerful as the manual lawn mowers, they too can have scheduled tasks and can perform without supervision.
Mopping Robot

The task of dry cleaning also tends to be reduced to a zero with the Swash that has the “precision for misting” and “rapid thermal drying” and can takes as less as 10 minutes. The machine works on different kind of fabrics and is capable of delicately handling material like cashmere. With this technology, you don’t have to worry about odor or wrinkles on your clothes. This slim designed robot can fit beside your closet or even inside it. This, however, does not mean you can completely avoid a trip to the pros since this machine is not meant to entirely replace professional dry cleaner. It merely extends the life of your outfits.
It looks like household chores get easier day by day and the humans have all the time to carry out other activities without worrying about running late for work or any other event.

Magic Leap One another step to Augmented Reality


Ever since is videography introduced people are trying to find ways to feel those images and experience it like it’s in front of them. Magic Leap is an organization in America and they introduced a technology through which you can experience augmented reality. It is not smart glass but a next step from virtual reality.
Magic Leap One is designed and build on the technology called “Digital Lightfield” and company is secretive about their secret ingredient but still sharing information about their product and its services. For example, if you make a walk or roll of any animal or object on table (table is actual but the object moving will be augmented) it will fall at the edge of the table to keep the feeling real as much possible.
Magic Leap OneThe design of the glasses is not like the smart glass you cannot use them outside like normal pair of glasses also they are not fashion statement as well. There is other limitation of using it outside as it projects light on glass of screen, on sunny day it has to fight the light of sun which makes nearly impossible for the image to be visible enough to be seen.
It introduced on August 8 in Chicago in starting price of $ 2,295, it will be available in different areas in soon. In its current price countries like Pakistan, India, China and other Asian countries market size will be very low and target audience will be niche.

What is Blockchain and is it really beneficial ?


Cryptography
Blockchain is one the most popular technological system now a day, people are attracted to it and organizations and people are willing to understand and use it for their own benefits. But before looking in to the matter either Blockchain is beneficial for our society or not we have to understand the concepts of blockchain.
In 2009 the first ever application of blockchain was “Bitcoin”, it is a digital currency supported by blockchain through its cryptographic system. Blockchain is a peer to peer system of transaction you don’t need any centralized server to store data everything is decentralized, and every account holder maintain his/her own ledger of transaction, well which makes it impossible for the hackers to hack, steal data/information or even steal information.
It is on a small scale but for bigger organization it plays a vital role in keeping their accounts protected and secure from any outside interference. The reasons it is safe and beneficial are:
BlockchainBefore the introduction of “Blockchain” security and validation of your ownership of digital accounts can’t be trusted and stealing of information and data is common even you use different software for safety from others to get access but still that company who is providing you security has the access to your information. Blockchain removes this and create a peer to peer system of transaction and due to cryptographic blocks in chains reduces the chances of any interference.
Also an important benefit of using blockchain system for transaction is if your transaction took place no one can edit that transaction and that transaction remains the part of the ledger and account for future concerns.

Hyperloop: Transport of the Future ?



Space X Hyperloop
We live in a time where technical advancements are progressing exponentially and concept of hyperloop is being the part of this remarkable technical world. Hyperloop is basically a fast-moving capsule covering distance of hours in matter of minutes, travelling through pressurized tubes using magnetic levitation. It does look like a science fictional, but this project is in cusp of becoming reality. For example, you live 400 miles away from your family and friends and to see them meet them you need hours to travel by road even that distance requires hours on plane but through hyperloop it will be covered in minutes, hyperloop concept will revolutionize the idea of global village by bring cities or states closer than ever before. This idea was first conceived by Elon Musk in 2012 the founder of most famous program Space X and CEO of Tesla motors. It is design in pattern to travel from one place to another through tube reducing air pressure and friction to reach maximum speed possible.

Organizations are working on this concept one of them is Virgin Group and they introduced “Virgin Hyperloop One” and United Arab Emirates is one the very few countries which is being a part of it and will launch hyperloop transportation service in their country. If this idea/concept succeed which most probably will it might be the transportation system of the future (on land).

Google-Type me a Blog

In all this techno-crazy world, one often wondered when the time would come when man could no longer tell the difference between a computer operated tone and a human conversation. I have heard Alexa talking and Siri responding in their casual computer operated voices which is how it is for all those techno assistants. Then, no more than few months ago, I came across a recording that I thought was just some random conversation between two people. What I did not know was that one of those people was a Google Assistant called Duplex.
It took me a great pause and focus to figure out that the woman making a salon appointment was actually Duplex in it coolest, most casual tone ever. Impressive as it sounds, it is also a whole new level of curiosity to figure out what Google just did there. So I researched on the basics of its functions.
Google Assistant initially formed an additional service by Google Now. This was designed to personalize the user information regarding their daily plans, timings and locations to extract the relevant information for their consumption. This was extended on the prevailing Google OK services. What remains currently is the Google Assistant which is user friendly and works in both text and voice command for your convenience.
From timers to calendars and reminders to meeting schedules, Duplex can do your tasks for you and even take your place to make calls and carry out perfectly natural conversations- I would say even more calmly than you can. Just a couple of years since Google launched its Assistant, it has been very popularly acknowledged and used by more partners including it into other smart devices than just phones.
The basic operational system consists of a “recurrent neutral netwrork (RNN)”and “TensorFlow Extended (TFX)” and the output comprises of Google’s “automatic speech recognition (ASR)”. This is a very simplified version of the complex structures that make Duplex a compatible mechanism for its users. The illustration bellow describes the functioning of Google Assistant:

Is it worth it to upgrade to Iphone XS Max

When the manufacturer told U.S. the iPhone X was a style of the future, it wasn't kidding. iPhone XR, iPhone XS and therefore the iPhone XS are all engineered on the inspiration started by the iPhone X.
The biggest of these, and therefore the most costly of these, is that the iPhone XS max.
The easiest way to describe the appearance and build of the iPhone XS max is to mention that it's sort of a massive iPhone X. Apple took last year's style and created it additional waterproof, larger and more color choice.
Iphone XS and XS Max

As overall the XS max is analogous in size to the previous generations of and models, except, Apple has created far better use of the area on the front. The notch is somethings that caused difference of opinion ever since it initial appeared on the iPhone X in 2017. Since then, it has been traced by several competitors to expand the screen-to-body magnitude relation.
As for resolution, it's long been the case that Apple avoids media customary defaults. instead of a QHD+ resolution, it's 1242 x 2688 pixels cover with 6.5-inch panel, giving a element density of 458 pixels per inch. That puts it among a number of the sharpest screens out there.
Apple created a giant deal of its new A12 Bionic processor, and for permanently reason. It's among the primary to form use of the 7nm process, creating it potential to own a lot of power coming back from a far smaller chip that is additionally more economical.
Gaming on the iPhone XS maxis as smooth and stable as you'd hope. Games load quickly and characters on screen answer input and touchscreen gestures with none hesitation, that is additionally part all the way down to the 120Hz bit detector response rate.
One issue iPhone is missing here compared to several others is it could be a quick charging wired charger within the box. Despite its size and large battery, the iPhone XS max ships with a similar 5W wall adapter and Lightning cable it is usually shipped with.

The Impact of Quantum Computing.


Generally, the computing system basically relay on the principals of the ability to storage and use information. Computers we normally use store data or information in the form of 0s and 1s we call this method a binary system. In case of quantum computing the system store information in the form of qubits (Quantum Bits).
Quantum Computer
A quantum bit (qubit) is the tiniest unit of quantum data, or, in other words itis the quantum analog of the normal computer bit utilized in the field of quantum computing. A quantum bit can exist in superposition, which implies that it can exist in different states immediately. As compared with regular bits, which can exist in one of two states, 1 or 0, the quantum bit can exist as a 1, 0 or 1 and 0 in the meantime. This considers quick registering and the capacity to do huge numbers of figuring immediately, hypothetically.
Over 5 Decades of advancement in mathematics, materials science, and software engineering have changed quantum computing from hypothesis to the real world. Today, genuine quantum PCs can be accessed through the cloud, and a large number of individuals have utilized them to learn, direct research, and handle new issues.
Quantum Computing
Quantum processors might one be able to day give leaps forward in numerous orders, including materials and medication disclosure, the enhancement of complex frameworks, and computerized reasoning. In any case, to understand those leaps forward, and to make possible to use quantum computers broadly, we have to rethink data handling and the machines that do it.

The Future is in The Air

The waves of cars that flood the roads today have been seen to go crazy. The passengers fight their way to their destination among the vehicles that look like tiny beetles in the day light and transform into fireflies at night. We wonder amidst this crowd of bug like machines if only they could actually fly above this mess and save our time wasted trying to get through.
Wright Brother
This is obviously not the first time to come across the idea of a flying vehicle. The attempts, no matter how feeble, have been made ever since the Wright Brothers’ experiment in 1903. From aircrafts to horse carts, man has tried every possible way to carve a design and bring the idea into reality. The work has since been carried out by numerous practitioners and consists of 80 patents so far (Kevin Bonsor "How Flying Cars Will Work" 1 December 2000).
There exist, a large number of engineers who have been keeping up with the spirit of the notion, trying to make it work all these years. The following decades have seen the creation of technologically advanced and smoother running automobiles, however, there is not yet a well-established market for flying cars. Despite the lack of business in these machines, the world has seen many of these vehicles and to name a few of them we present the models designed and tested so far.
AeroMobil 4.0 STOLDating back to the 1990s, a Solvakian organization named AeroMobil has been evolving the 4-seater model of its flying car that is expected to enable a vertical takeoff as well as an equally smoother run on the road. The independent takeoff and landing is supported by an electric mechanism which moreover, helps in the excellence of flight functions.
Another such model is the PAL-V ‘liberty’ which is described as “the car that flies and the plane that drives” (Production model of the PAL-V liberty flying car takes off, 2018). This automobile conveniently fits into the size of a regular one which makes it easy to run onn the road just like a normal car.
Last, but not the least, is the UK's first ever flying taxi- the vertical aerospace "eVTOL". It is a drone shaped automobile that has a distinctive characteristic of reducing  carbon production in the air and can be said to have an eco-friendly mechanism.
With this and a lot more sprouting designs, the future can see lesser fireflies and beetles on the roads, soaring high in the air instead. It is, however not yet so certain as to when that time may actually come.
