To secure an exotic and high-performance vehicles for the filming of the video can be expensive and difficult. The vehicle availability, location, and filming, as well as to set up the perfect image for the film or advertising very difficult. With the Blackbird, a company called The Mill allows to record an automotive content without the need of particular vehicles presence.
Blackbird is the first car in the world that is fully customizable as well as not only can change the chassis to adjust the right lengths and widths of the to almost all brands of cars, but the car's appearances can also be changed.

Recently, as quoted of Autoblog, by using CGI techniques, Blackbird can be changed body to look like any car, and the electric motor can be programmed to mimic the driving characteristics of the emulated cars. And now the automotive content producer no longer need the original vehicles for filming because of Blackbird can do.
Aside from being able to drive and look like any car, the Blackbird can help the users build a virtual version of their environment by using a combination of 3D laser scans and images are very dynamic. For those who are not imaginative, The Mill has created a unique AR app that allows people to see the desired CGI vehicles. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOBLOG]
The Chinese researchers have recently showed off a beautiful woman robot that really looks like a human being so it earning the nickname the 'goddess robot'. A robot named Jia Jia was standing at the entrance of the trade fair venue for the 2016 Summer Davos Forum in Tianjin, a major port city in the north of China. She was wearing a traditional Chinese clothes and hairstyle, complete with classic hairpin.
You might do a double take when you see this new interactive robot, and visitors to a recent exhibition in China did the same. Jia Jia is a humanoid robot who is not only very pretty, but intelligent and quick-witted too. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1cBwQC)
This robot's brain is actually the large online database and connected to the 'cloud computing' platform allowing it to process emotions and conversations along with the download of the data. Jia Jia can chat with people who ask her questions and respond in less than a second. Some reports say he also can make micro expressions and get to know a person's facial expressions.
The robot was first unveiled earlier this year. During the unveiling, Xiaoping said hello to his robot goddess, which immediately responded, 'Yes my lord, what can I do for you?' (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1cBwQC)
She is the only one in China, although there have been several attempts to make robots like over the last few years in the country. And according to some reports, China is very interested in the robotic technology. More than 25% of industrial robots in 2015 were sold in China, equivalent to 62 thousand from 248 thousand units worldwide.
As quoted by the Daily Mail on Thursday, JUne 30, 2016, this robot was created by Chen Xiaoping and his colleagues at the University of Science and Technology of China. And Jia Jia introduced for the first time in Hefei, capital of Anhui Province in the east, on April 15. At the time of introduction, Xiaoping greets the robot and she answered, "Yes, my lord, what can I do for you?"
"Hello everyone. I am Jia Jia. Welcome!" the robot said when welcoming the audience in the university's multimedia centre in May, as reported by Xinhua. The 'goddess robot' added, "'Don't come too close to me when you are taking a picture. It will make my face look fat."
A researchers group of Jia Jia creator is the mastermind behind the service robot named 'Kejia' which became the first winner of the RoboCup championship in 2014. At that time, Kejia scored a historic mark of 8,555 points because of its ability laying off drinks. But unlike the Kejia, Jia Jia seem not to be included in the competition.
"We hope to develop a robot with a profound ability to learn. We will add facial expressions and make it perform more in-depth interaction with people," explained Xiaoping. The researchers also revealed that Jia Jia was truly 'invaluable' so they do not think to produce it in bulk. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | XINHUA |JAFRIANEWS |DAILY MAIL]

By using the base of 2015 Ducati Scrambler, Sylvain and Florent Berneon (the builders) requires processing time up to 14 weeks and spending about 170 hours to complete the work of this slick motorcycle. Begins with creating a design drawing digitally, they find a desired concept and then begin the process of modification. They began to cut some of the Ducati's body so the weight is reduced up to 20 kg.
This weight reduction makes the motorcycle more powerful as a modern figure who in the classic-makeover tangible. Some changes are embedded in Ducati Scrambler Café Racer include the frame loop and LED stop light of Cognito Motor, milled parts and detail of Rizoma, silincer of Werkes USA, tires from Pirelli, racing brakes system by Beringer and Rotobox supply the sector of carbon fiber wheels as well as some other parts are custom-made.

The future of human transportation is not a petrol-engined vehicles like today. At least this is proven through the development of alternative energy available, such as electricity, and sunlight.
For the latter, one of the parties focusing on developing it was Hanergy Holding Group, a leading solar energy company in the world. More recently, they introduced the four solar-powered cars. Its solar panels `caught` the sunlight and convert it into electrical energy.

As quoted from Gizmag, a company spokesman said, "these cars, which can be recharged during the day while driving, it also contains the lithium batteries, thus enabling rechargeable also at the (recharging) station, when there is no sun or during long trips."

Explained, by drying the car in the sun for five to six hours, the Hanergy car can travel about 80 kilometers. These cars should have been introduced years ago. But later postponed due to the company having problems because its shares down 47 percent in one day.
Although still a prototype, these cars are not impossible commercialized. Many benefits can be obtained if these are achieved. For example, the cost of making solar panels could be cheaper, even up to 90 percent.
In addition to these passenger cars, Hanergy has also been cooperating with the Chinese government. They will provide solar-powered vehicles for recreational purposes, as well as food trucks or catering. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | HANERGY | GIZMAG]
Traffic density problem are always a challenge for the major cities in Indonesia. Causes may vary, ranging from an increased volume of vehicles, motorists are less orderly, narrow streets, and so forth.
The lack of public transport facilities to support the citizens convenience sometimes be the reason. For that any effort to improve the reliable public transportation system which is free of traffic jams in Indonesia deserves to be supported.

Recently in Bandung, the effort was underway through a LRT (Light Rail Transit) prototype developed by the Indonesian engineers are being tested. The LRT itself is one of the passenger railway systems and operating in urban areas whose construction is lightweight. It could even run alongside other traffics or in a special track.
As posted by the Mayor of Bandung Ridwan Kamil in his Instagram account that displays a short video about the tests of a LRT prototype. And seen in the video, the LRT is already running and can be used, although only one railway coach.There's no detailed information only mentioned in one railway coach can accommodate 50 people, and run with maximum speed of 40 km/h.
As reported by GalaMediaNews.com on February 3, 2016, that the West Java provincial government plans to build eight LRT lines in the area of Bandung Raya. And currently the work is still in the processing the DED 3 (Detail Engineering Design) stage.

Hopefully one day when it's ready to be a product in industrial scale, and then can be present in other Indonesian cities or even the whole world. *** [EKA | FROM VARIUOS SOURCES | DREAM.CO.ID | GALAMEDIANEWS.COM]
