« La voiture va devenir le troisième espace de vie, après le domicile et le travail : il faut occuper cet espace, vous pourrez vous y relaxer, vous divertir… vous pourrez faire plein de chose dans votre voiture puisque vous ne conduisez plus » – Edzard Overbeek, CEO de Here.

L’imagination semble bien en panne… Des véhicules avec moins de passagers, qui prennent plus de place et avec des contraintes de sécurité supérieures, pour réduire les embouteillages… Fascinant !
Dans ce cas, il faut ajouter à cette absurdité l’exigence de disponibilité de modules terrestres. Mais il est question d’IA alors ça doit être sérieux !

Research published in PLOS One offers a quantitative approach. Using a combination of math and maps, Garrett Dash Nelson, a postdoctoral student in geography at Dartmouth College, and Alasdair Rae, an urban data analyst at the University of Sheffield, solidify the concept of the “megaregion” as an interlocking, yet self-contained, economic zone. They use millions of point-to-point daily commutes—perhaps the best proxy for economic geography there is—to outline at least 35 urban cluster-oids around the U.S. What gets revealed, according to the paper, are a “set of overlapping, interconnected cogs which, working together, constitute the functional economy of the nation.”

What’s the biggest problem with PC-based virtual reality right now? Is it the price? The lack of deep gaming experiences? Or is it that darned cord that keeps you from properly leaping around like a lunatic while playing Space Pirate Trainer? For the PC manufacturers gathered at Computex 2016 in Taiwan, it’s very much the latter. Yes, in a weird and quite frankly surprising trend, HP, MSI, Gigabyte, and Zotac are all showing off backpack-based PCs for free-to-roam VR gaming.
