IoT weekly round-up: Thursday 12th October 2017

Welcome to the weekly IoT round-up! This week, we get a sneak peek at the new Star Wars VR experience (coming soon to Disney Parks), and there's good news for autonomous vehicles as California DMV rules to allow testing of driverless vehicles. IBM's thought leadership program'Science and Star Wars' explores how close real world science has come to Star Wars tech. Last week, it was time for droids to have a moment in the spotlight. In Episode 2: Droids, we met R2 Builders Club members Mike Senna and Michael McMaster, who introduced us to their very own R3-A3 droid, built with a Raspberry Pi and imbued with a personality courtesy of IBM Watson.
