The BMW  8 Series Concept car is a perfect combination of luxury and sportiness combines with the perfect automobile technology, and gives an outlook on the new version of the new BMW 8 Series. We have all the info!

Introduction: BMW 8 Series

BMW 8 Series particularly bullish that comprises of fantabulous automobile technology. The wheel arches are strongly exposed, the exhaust pipes are reminiscent of the Lexus LC500.

The taillights could come directly from the i8 and protrude at the top out of the bodywork – this should give the rear even more latitude. The new concept BMW 8 series equipped with automobile technology has comes up with the new Ducktail spoiler is quite new.

The Barcelona Gray ensures a certain elegance, looks from almost certain angles almost dull. Overall, BMW is looking for the perfect mix of luxury and sportiness. Designer Adrian van Hooydonk describes the BMW 8 Series Concept with advanced automobile technology has the three “P”: Power, Passion, Performance. It remains to be hoped that BMW will transfer as much as possible from the elegance, presence and performance of the study into the series.

Interior: Seats in the BMW  8 Series

The doors of the 8 Series Concept open gently as soon as you stroke your hand over it. Caution is advised when getting into the car: the carbon-fiber strips with the Concept BMW 8 8 Series lettering are not to be scratched. In general, this study must be treated as a raw egg. The seats with carbon ridges look like tightly screwed slat seats. However, surprise, not only drive the seats electrically in position, they are also more comfortable than imagined.

BMW relaunch the BMW 8 series! In 1989, the generation E31 came onto the market and is still considered a design icon. Just 30 years later, the luxury coupe returns. From 2018 onwards, the series version completed with amazing automobile technology will compete against the Mercedes S-Class Coupe.

The concept BMW 8 Series, presented by the Munich team, presents a very concrete outlook. BMW promises the incorporation of the fantastic automobile technology that the new BMW 8 series is to be strongly oriented on the fully-driven design study. The long-term concept shows that BMW is serious about returning to the class of luxury.

The proportions are typical BMW: In the new series greatly supported by this automobile technology has come up with the huge snout, long wheelbase, crooked silhouette and heavily exposed wheel arches. The front with the typical sharknose is dominated powerfully. They are lined with narrow headlights with laser light.

The daytime running lights are hexagonal designed, as we already know from current BMW like 5s or 7s. The design concentrates on only two lines, both of which have their origin behind the air outlet. The powerful 21-inch rims fill the wheel arches well and look exactly right. Typical study are the from the full milled exterior mirror bars and the nonexistent door handles. This new series that is incorporated by this advanced automobile technology has comes up with touch screens, as used by McLaren in early MP4-12C models.

The Google I/O 2017 was took place on 17 to 19 May. In the context of this year’s developer conference, the company is expected to address Android O, Android Wear, Daydream and the Google Assistant. There may also be new information on the wedding between Android and Chrome OS.

Google I/O 2017: When and where happened?

For Google I/O 2017, Google has come up with something: instead of announcing the date and place just like the years before on the website of the developer conference, the company published a multi-part puzzle. This prompted a lively cooperation of the community, which exchanged itself on different channels and so within one day the collective found the solution.

Once again, visitors to the developer conference have to endure the sunny and sometimes sweaty weather in the Mountain View in California. As in the case of Google I/O 2016, the event also took place in the open air in the Shoreline Amphitheater in 2017.

Google I/O 2017: What to Expect

Android O, Chrome OS and Andromeda?
There are a number of issues that Google I/O 2017 might address. So far, there has been no concrete information on the next Android version. In addition, there is at least the possibility that Google will ultimately adopt the union of Android and Chrome OS, which has been broadcast for quite some time. Under the codename Andromeda, this project has already participated in surmisals several times.

Google Lens: Google makes the smartphone camera wiser
The great program called Google Lens gives smartphone cameras the ability to recognize and process image content. The feature is to be integrated into the assistant and the gallery app photos, bringing end-users closer to Google’s AI efforts.
Google presented the new feature Google Lens at its developer conference Google I/O. Google Lens is intended to enable smartphone cameras to interpret the captured images, to give information and to process them. The Lens program thus represents another step in Google’s work to incorporate artificial intelligence into its services.
Daydream VR
A similarly hot prospect like Android O should be Daydream. The VR platform on the I / O 2016 is still in the children’s shoes. However, Google makes no secret that the Group is very interested in the success of the project. According to a rumor, Google is even working on a high-end headset for VR, similar to the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift.

Google Assistant and Home
Under the current trend, countless digital assistants sprout from the ground. A pioneer of this field, however, is Google, which intends to keep this role presumably. It would be a little surprising if the Google Assistant received a few new tricks in the context of the Google I/O 2017. Perhaps the service even ends up in the Play Store and is accessible to all Android devices. Because the assistant is only limited, says: Pixel-exclusive.
Google Home is also likely to come up. A direct successor of the Alexa competitor would probably be too early, but at least a few new features are not absurd. In addition, Google could launch a dot-like extension.
Android Wear and Auto, Google Allo and Duo
Finally, a few bouncers, which Google mentioned on the Google I/O 2017, but big announcements rather unlikely are: This includes Android Wear, whose second version despite announcement on the I / O 2016 only in February 2017 comes out, Android car , Which is not yet on the market, and last but not least promising services of the past year, but functionally lagged behind expectations – yes, this is mainly Google Allo.

An essential part of our daily lives, people use smartphones to connect to the outer world to gather knowledge by surfing internet, social media platforms, check mails etc. In other words, it has made our life a lot easier. Android is the most popular mobile platform owned by Google which comes with all the advantages provided by the company and is pre-installed in smartphones and tablets. It allows the users to access google services like YouTube, Google maps, Google search engine, Gmail etc. Android technology has definitely made converted our phones into mini computers.

Android O, Google’s new software, is official now. Nougat will be succeeded by Android O. Google has worked to bring out important changes that will have new functionality to the smartphones and tablets. Some of the new features of  Android O include –

• The Android O software, designed in such a way that it will restrict the apps which runs on the backdrop when not in use, therefore increasing the battery life of the phone making it last longer.
• We need to deal with a lot of mess, making us confused, when we are notified from multiple apps, sometimes about unnecessary things and at times it can really be distracting. The new Android O software comes to the rescue as one of the feature includes grouping of notification. It will launch a snooze button that will help in case of meetings and will assist in prioritizing certain alerts of events over others depending on their importance.
• Another characteristic of the new software which can prove to be hugely popular among users using various online video sharing and streaming media websites is the picture in picture (PiP) method. In simpler words, the user can continue watching videos while operating any other app without pausing the video clip. A minimized video window will appear on the screen of your device.
• Google has also added programs that are capable of assisting in the upgradation of the accuracy of the audio output that is played through headphones or speakers.
• There will be no notable changes regarding the design but the app icons may slightly look different – the shape and size may vary.

Like the previous versions of Android O, it is expected that Google will name this new software after something sweet. The senior vice-president of Android has made cryptic references from which it can be concluded that Oreo is the current forerunner. The current version Nougat followed Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, Kitkat, Lollipop and Marshmellow.

The new software of Android O is available after its initial stages of development for downloading. However, the programs of this software are still worked upon so it is advisable that non-developers should not download it as it may damage the device wiping all the data. The second developer preview is scheduled to be out soon which will be of beta quality.

Android O will be available first on Google devices like the Nexus and the Pixel and then will roll out to brand new models from other brands. As the most used and favored Android platform Google needs to deliver the features that it’s millions of users want and hope for a positive review. The new handsets may come into the market by the end of the year.

As technology is progressing with years, self driving cars are becoming the new topic of discussion for automotive engineers and the like, across the globe. Robotaxis will soon become the talk of the town, driving along with human driven cars. The development however is slow, hectic, expensive but worthwhile.

Self driving cars are programmed in such a way that they run at a particular speed limit, which is lesser than the human driven car speed limit. They are well mannered robots, manufactured and programmed to drive around cities, curbing accidents as well as traffic. For example, Los Angeles has a system in which drivers pass by stop symbols if there is no traffic, whereas in rush hours in Ann Arbor, Michigan, they cross double yellow lines to queue to left-turn on a freeway. Humans basically know when obey rules and when not to, according to their convenience.

Co-existing together:

For human driven cars and robotaxis to function together, years of research and modulation will be required, according to programmers. Human behavior and traffic have to co-exist in harmony for the success of self driving cars. This would lead to expensive developments and that will take time. Human psychology too governs driving cars, so the programming has to be top notch for the success of self driving cars.

Every country has their own driving norms and traffic jams and rules. What a European road would look like would be very different from that of an Asian road. Then comes the problems of aggressive drivers and one example would be the reckless driving style of Indian drivers, casually changing lanes according to their convenience.
According to Kathy Winter, the vice president of driving solutions of Intel, by the year of 2030 automated Self driving cars will be able to mimic human intelligence. Sensor driven cars are gathering information of roads as well as behavioral patterns of drivers to create a huge database to use for the programming of the Self driving cars, this would involve Artificial Intelligence.The process is time consuming and expensive but someday there is hope of even beating Beijing’s traffic with these cars.
Self driving cars will soon develop to have common sense installed in its system. Carnegie Melon University has nobly come up with the idea by which cars can adapt to handle the ‘Pittsburgh left’ by waiting an entire second for a turn to clear before moving after green light. Such sensors will also figure out whether to stop or go for green or red light, establishing a communication of the vehicles to avoid accidents.
Even though there are lot of speculations about this and skeptical judges criticizing it, the technology has a very bright future in the Automobile Industry. With years, as Artificial Intelligence reaches newer heights, there will be simplification for the programmers to speed up the development of self-driven cars.

If you are a big fan then must be aware of his love for gadgets and each new movie tends to add more to its repertoire. Just assume that Batman has to take a trip to Mars in search of life then he has to make some extreme changes to its batmobile in order to withstand the cruel climate of the red planet. Parker Brother Concepts has just the same by taking this concept into building a full fledged concept car i.e. Mars Rover which will help in exploring the Mars in a unique fashion and just having a look at this car feels like something has popped out of the pages of a comic book.

Working with NASA

Parker Brothers Concepts has built this Mars Rover in partnership with the NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. This rover is a six wheeled fully –electric vehicle which modeled upon the batmobile present in the recent Dark Knight movies. NASA has helped the Parker Brother Concepts in understanding the exquisite requirements for building a craft fit for the Mars terrain.

This batmobile can reach up to a top notch speed of 112 kmph which is a remarkable feat in itself. It has a length of 28 feet and weighs about 2300 kg and it has been specifically designed to withstand the gruesome challenging conditions of the red planet.

Features of the Mars Rover

This batmobile concept Mars Rover appears a giant beast with huge metal body but in reality it boasts of a number of unique features. Developers have stated that this is a ‘dual purpose vehicle’ which can be separated right from the middle to acts as two different vehicles. While separating the Mars Rover vehicle from the middle it bring the driver and assistant part present in the frontal area to get removed from the primary design and it can be used for the exploration missions as well. The remaining body of the Mars Rover vehicle having rest of the crew can setup their mobile lab for carrying out the essential research in the mean time.

Developers and officials at NASA are planning to showcase this vehicle across the major cities of US in upcoming months. This will be part of the NASA’s promotional event for the Mars which will also include a number of astronaut training regimes being conducted at the Kennedy Space Center.

A moment of rejoice for the Batman fans

It is a great moment for the comic books lovers and batman fans as well as the sci-fi enthusiasts to get a closer look at the batmobile inspired Mars rover. Apart from the city tours the developers has also revealed that this concept rover will feature in a new reality television series which is in filming at the moment. It is worth noting that this vehicle is prototype version which has the potential to serve as the baseline for future ambitious designs for the Mars rover but it doesn’t mean that the Dark Knight will be using it to fight across the red planet.

Siri is one of the most widely used and apparently smart digital assistant for the smartphone but this time around it has shown its awareness and intelligence by saving a man’s life. iPhone Siri has saved the life of man who was injured in a house explosion. On May 1, this man named Christopher Boucher, is a resident of New Hampshire found himself in midst of a house explosion which left him with extreme burns. Due to the burns he was unable to dial 911 then he made use of the  Siri to contact who eventually end up in saving his life in the nick of the time.

How this unfortunate event unfolded?

Later investigations have revealed that on May 1 Christopher Beaucher has gone upon checking is mother’s vacant cottage which is present in Wilmont. Beaucher has found something suspicious in the house while checking it and as he turned on the light to look upon the house went into the flames with an explosion. With this explosion a major part of the structure collapsed leaving his hands and face badly burned.  Beaucher was lucky enough to crawl out of the debris and fire raging through the house. He went to his Land Rover retrieved his phone but he was unable to dial the numbers as his fingers and face was burned badly. So he asked the iPhone Siri to call 911 and it obliged. Beaucher was going into the shock and the finesse with which Siri has made the call to the authorities has been influential in saving the life of Beaucher,

Siri emerges as hero

Beaucher has given the credit to  Siri for saving his life and he considers himself extremely lucky. This is the first time Siri has been thanked or played a vital in saving someone’s life by doing the needful in an efficient fashion which it is known to perform at all times. The praise given to the Siri is commendable but even Beaucher resolve and quick thinking in making use of Siri shouldn’t be seen as a small effort as he was going into the shock. Apple devices are known for incredible security features but they can bring security to the ‘life’ is never seen before it is quite enthralling to read as well.

Currently Beaucher is undergoing treatment for burns suffered during the fire at the Massachusetts hospital. He is expected to recover very soon to join his job as a cook at the New London Inn as well as he will spend his remaining time in tending the small farm. An account on the GoFundMe has been set up in order to recover the cost of the treatment for Beaucher. Authorities are still investigating the reason behind the explosion and it is worth noting no one else was at the house at that time. This house was up for sale during the time of the incident which ensured no one else is harmed at all.

In a research report, Google DeepMind has presented a new artificial intelligence that learns to use its own memory. The researchers describe how their “differential neural computer” (DNC) used information to answer complex questions – similar to a human being.

The Google DeepMind team has published its research results in the scientific journal Nature. This shows that DNC has been equipped with an external storage unit and has itself been used in the trial-and-error method typical of regular neural networks. The paper states: “When a DNC issues a response, we compare it to an intended correct answer. Over time, the control unit learns to generate responses that are closer and closer to the correct answer. In the course of this process, she learns to use her own memory. ”

In their experiment, the scientists fed their AI with the full London metro timetable. Then she could answer complex questions by incorporating the stored information into a deductive thought process.

In view of the increasing demand for computing power and cooling, the insights gained at Google are seen as a small revolution. Certainly because it had now proved the power of DeepMind – one of the best Google Projects which is in practice. In the experiment, the team of the AI had to make certain specifications at the beginning. For example, which functions are required when and how.

The results are impressive and illustrate the evolution that artificial intelligence is currently undergoing. Google DeepMind offers much greater performance than machine learning. The artificial neural networks are able to condition their thinking processes. For a look, the Google researchers lastly provided with their AlphaGo AI, which was able to defeat the Go World Champion Lee Sedol.

In the game Gathering, the two AI systems had to collect as many apples as possible. Players can also bombard enemies with a laser. If a player hits, the opponent is removed for a while. The first player then has no competition in the collection. An aggressive approach could therefore be promising in the game of Google DeepMind.

The Ai agents of Google DeepMind reacted quite humanly: They learned that bellicose behavior is appropriate when resources, ie the apples, are scarce. As long as there were enough apples, the systems were content with collecting.

However, if only a few apples were available, the AI players would rather take the laser to beat the opponent one and put him out of action. “A less aggressive behavior results from a learning process in a relatively rich environment with fewer possibilities for complex measures,” the researchers write in an essay.

The image changed when a more powerful AI which is one of the Google Projects came into play that could use more complex strategies. She tended to shoot at the enemy, no matter how many apples were still there.

As with the first, the AI players of Google DeepMind also learned about this in the course of the second game. In contrast to Gathering, the more powerful AI systems had noticed that cooperation was the strategy that led to success. The greater ability to use complex strategies has led to more practices between the AI agents, the researchers say.

The behavior of the AI agents in Google DeepMind therefore varies depending on the situation in which they are: If the agent has more success through aggression, he is aggressive. If cooperation appears the better variant, he cooperates. Through their study they are now able to summarize the researchers.

The technology used in the Project Jacquard assures that it is really convenient, more sophisticated than any other Google Projects! This one is the best of all existing Google Projects that is really awesome to discuss. At the developer conference Google I / O, the Internet company will show how technology and clothing can get united to offer us the exciting and elegant experience in the upcoming future. In the Project Jacquard, Google researchers are working to make fabric as touch-sensitive like a touchpad. Google has now publicly shown the possibilities for this through a project name Project Jacquard.

At first sight, the long fabric looks like any other standard fabric. But when you look closely, you can able to recognize in a few places a fine tissue like textures. When you slide over finger over it, I feel its special structure – and it has the effect of a touch screen in the fabric. As the first partner of Google’s project named Project Jacquard, Levi’s wants to make its clothes smart. Users should be able to use their smartphones via shirts and trousers.

Example 1: A smartphone can be connected to your stylishly worn tuxedo. If you tap that special fabric, you can start and stop the music playback of the device. With a finger to the left or right you can jump from one title to another. Wipe up or down, you adjust the volume.

Example 2: Light bulbs hang over the table – you tap on the fabric, you can turn it on or off. With wiping up and down you can change its color, by finger swiping left and right you can adjust the brightness.

The electrically conductive threads woven into the conventional fabric make it possible. The goal of Google is to create fabrics that can accept commands like touch screens, but can also be made and washed like conventional fabrics.

Levi’s wants to process smart fabrics in collaboration with Google as the clothing company announced at the I / O developer conference in San Francisco. Levi’s is thus the first partner of Google’s project named as Project Jacquard. Under this name Project Jacquard the search engine giant wants to bring interactive substances onto the market. This allows users to accept calls via touching the shirt sleeves and to operate their smart devices through their clothes through conductive yarn and sensors that are embedded intelligently. Gestures and touches are thus to be recognized and sent as commands to their smartphones.

With the project Jacquard, Google wants to offer designers and developers the possibility to integrate connected, touch-sensitive textiles into their own products. Paul Dillinger, Head of Global Product Innovation at Levi’s, explains, “In our digital world, people are continually struggling to be physically present in their environment while remaining digitally connected. Through this wonderful Google Projects and Levi’s under the Project Jacquard provides one Completely new value for customers.

The Google open source obtains a new prospect in the world of Internet. The company will integrate its activities, on the far side of the literal codification and this can be viewed in opensource.google.com.

Google influence this through a blog where Will Norris from the Open Source Programs Office also consistently proclaimed the commencement of the website.

Will Noriss, the chief of the Google Open source programs consistently proclaimed the commencement of its website.

In this excellent website we can come across an summary of Google open source projects and also offer information on substantiated organizations.

The fantabulous learning software called Tensorflow, the cluster networking software Kubernetes and the Go Programming Language are the few examples that have been emerged from the Google open source programs.

More auspiciously it had acquainted a new program called as Remixer that comprises of the libraries and etiquettes that permits the mutuality of arrangement values and live flawlessness of apps during the devolution procedures.

Remixer which is one of the Google Project permits us to easy delineate UI covariant in an app that can be attuned while it is spouting. This can aid us and the aggroup to ingeminate very apace on plan issuance because we do not demand to make or even resume the app to view the modification reverberated.

It is the most engrossing tool that Google is making over, because it proceeds with the content as well as tools that technologists have used to ingeminate on their piece of work and offers them to more ingenious people. It is besides the kind of thing that may have made the own Brand name brush up procedure a little easygoing.

This wonderful Google Project is acquirable in three different programs (Android, iOS and JavaScript) as well as all of them assist setting up a Remote that permits us the modified protean from a web control panel.

Variables

A Remixer multivariate is having a unparalleled key connected with it, and can be of type Boolean, Colour, Figure or Series.

Protean assistance being stage-struck to a controlled set of values to offer us better activity of what can adapted. Designative variables could also be re-formed as round-the-clock or distinct ambit.

Web Remote Controller

Remixer from Google Open Source can be premeditated to exchange a Remote Controller. In this manner the variables can be denaturised from right the app, countenance us to get together with different people and support the UI free of sheathing. Ensure to check up on the Remote Controller repo to find out more about this attribute.

The Remixer the best of Google Project countenance app Creator to make over paradigm of apps that you can move with straight off — thus you can both demonstrate the plan and alter it on the gadget/ website. There is also Level, that paces up the modelling procedure and permits app creators to examine as well as exhibit movement in the apps at much earlier levels.

It is nerdy in an intriguing way, permitting specialists as well as app creators to get go playing around with how their programs will appear and work way earliest in the procedure than before.

Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects Group (ATAP) has developed the prototype of a smartphone that scans the environment using 3D sensors to create a three-dimensional model. The results are intended to further advance the trend themes of indoor navigation and augmented reality. At a press conference in the US, Lenovo announced that it would be really good if there was a Project Tango for the Moto-Z smartphones. This is consistent with Android Central, Engadget and PC Mag. It was rather an utterance that such a product should be offered. The Phab 2 Pro is developed at Lenovo in a different department than the Moto smartphones. A further example, which has been shown by Google for a long time, is the selection of furniture that can be placed virtually in the home or in a house. Also in the games area, Project Tango offers with its AR-possibilities numerous uses.

Known as, Google’s $ 2.9 billion sale of Motorola Mobility to Lenovo has kept a small special group, the Advanced Technology and Project Group, headed by former DARPA director Regina Dungan. After the project ARA, this presented another interesting smartphone concept called Project Tango which is one of the best Google Projects.

Project Tango is an Android smartphone with a 5-inch touch screen, which can capture a three-dimensional map of the environment using three cameras. The sensors are designed to perform more than 250,000 measurements per second, thus creating a room in real time and correlating with their own position. The prototype runs on Android and has some development interfaces for passing on position, orientation, and depth to standard apps for Android, written with Java, C / C ++, and the Unity Game Engine. However, according to Google, prototypes, algorithms and APIs are still under development.
As program manager Johnny Lee for Project Tango presents in a Google + post, Tango which is one of the best Google Project is intended to offer mobile terminals a human-like concept of space and movement. This is intended to allow users to create a 3D model of the apartment by simply walking around, which later helps with the purchase of furniture. It is also conceivable to provide indoor navigation as a service for strangers or visually impaired persons with the help of the generated data. When shopping in the supermarket, customers could search for a product and then navigate to the appropriate shelf.

Although Google ATAP has been working on it for a year, the Project Tango is still at an early development stage and is initially only available to a limited number of developers. According to Google, many of these first 200 Project Tango devices are going to companies that are active in game development, data processing, navigation and mapping. However, the company has put aside some prototypes for “applications that they have not yet thought about”. Interested parties can submit their application by the 14th of March at www.google.com/atap/projecttango. During the course of the year Google wants to present information on algorithms and APIs, Project Tango will surely also be an important topic at the Google I / O developer conference in late June.
