Dyson has unveiled plans for a huge test track that will allow it to test out its new electric cars on real roads. The company has long been known to be working on a battery-powered vehicle that it is aiming to launch in 2021. It will have spent billions of pounds on the plan when it is released. That openness stands in contrast with rivals like Apple, which has long been rumoured to be working on its own vehicle but has refused to address any of those rumours. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

PlayStation is giving away Destiny 2 and God of War 3 as part of its Plus service. In a line-up it described as "huge", the two games are part of the scheme that allows players access to a range of different titles each month. And even though both games are available for the month of September, Destiny 2 is already available. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

Samsung has taken the wraps off a range of new televisions powered by AI that promise to provide pictures with greater clarity than ever. The whopping 65" to 85" screens in the new QLED 900R range are capable of displaying images in 8K resolution – the next frontier in ultra high definition viewing. This newest resolution has four times as many pixels vertically and horizontally as current top-end 4K Ultra HD screens, and 16 times more than standard 1080p HD. Samsung is using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to'upgrade' the quality of any video content viewed on the screen, including older television shows, and movies. The AI analyses the low-resolution content – checking the pixel location, colour, shape of 33 million pixels inside the frame – to detect objects it recognises.

On a balmy summer's day in San Francisco, Milena Marinova is sitting on the roof terrace of the offices of Pearson, a company in the midst of a radical transformation from publishing powerhouse to digital-education platform, wrapped in a gray shawl and explaining how she plans to build advanced, deep-learning algorithms that could educate the next generation of students. This is no easy task. With millions of students using its education-software, Pearson has amassed "terrabytes" of data from student homework and even textbooks that have been digitized, data that Marinova is now pulling together to build software that can automatically give students feedback on their work like a teacher would. Instead of just telling them that an answer is right or wrong, a future update to Pearson's math homework tool will give more detailed feedback on how they went wrong in the steps taken to get an answer, Marinova told Forbes in an interview. Pearson is starting with math because the topic is relatively easy to structure and digitize.

Last year, China's government put out its plan to lead the world in AI by 2030. As Eric Schmidt has explained, "It's pretty simple. By 2020, they will have caught up. By 2025, they will be better than us. By 2030, they will dominate the industries of AI."

French President Emmanuel Macron says "we must rethink the European security architecture" as he pushed for a continent-wide effort to create "a strategic partnership, including in terms of defense, with our closest neighbors.".

An electronic chip implanted in the brain could help to prevent epileptic fits, a study suggests. The device, so far tested only in mice, can detect the'electric storm' that occurs in the brain when a seizure starts and release a natural chemical to stop it. The chip, made from plastic and twice as thick as a human hair, could be scaled up and trialled in people within two years. The device, made from plastic and twice as thick as a human hair, detects the'electric storm' occurring in the brain when seizure starts and releases a natural chemical to stop it. Around 600,000 people in Britain have epilepsy and three in ten are unable to control their seizures as anti-epileptic drugs do not work for them.

Europe's first driverless taxi service has launched in Russia. The fleet of autonomous taxis are operated by Yandex – a Russian search engine that boasts many of the same services as Google, including self-driving vehicles, e-commerce, and a voice-activated AI assistant. Yandex has launched its trial project for the driverless fleet in the new town of Innopolis, which is being developed as a'high tech city' in the Republic of Tatarstan. The taxi service ferries passengers between five designated taxi ranks, including stops at the town's university, sports stadium and popular local apartment blocks. The service will free-of-charge to passengers during the trial and Yandex will have an engineer inside the cab at all times to ensure safety should the system fail.

Google's big, premium Apple HomePod rival the Home Max is finally being released in the UK today, bringing Google Assistant to the high-end smart speaker market. Announced in October 2017 and on sale in the US since November, the Home Max joins Google's smaller Home and smallest Home Mini smart speakers as the big one. Google Assistant sorts voice commands, controls and questions exactly the same as Google's smaller smart speaker offerings, but the way it sounds couldn't be more different. The Home Max is relatively large box speaker, by smart speaker standards, with a white or black smooth plastic body and grey or charcoal coloured fabric front. In white and grey it's simple fabric front and rounded corners make the Home Max look a bit bland up next to a Sonos Play:5 or an Apple HomePod, but it might be easier to blend in with soft home furnishings.

Google's most expensive speaker option is finally available in the US. It's certainly taking the tech giant some time to release Home Max in markets outside North America, but it's at least making its way to more places around the globe -- it also arrived in Australia a few weeks ago. Mountain View created Home Max to be 20 times more powerful than the ordinary Home speaker, so it can fill even large rooms with high-fidelity sound and a deep, balanced bass thanks to its 4.5 -inch high- excursion woofers. It also features Google's new AI-powered technology called "Smart Sound," which allows sounds to adapt to the speaker's environment. Just place the device wherever you want, and it'll tune itself to deliver the best sound possible.
