Stanford engineers have redesigned an iconic 1981 DeLorean with a futuristic feature that Dr. Emmett Brown didn't think of –self-driving capabilities. The vehicle, referred to as MARTY, has been converted into an all-electric, self-driving machine that boasts custom suspension and onboard computers. The team designed the vintage car to also drift in a bid to develop automated vehicles that can use all of the friction between the tires in order to'avoid any accident that is avoidable within the laws of physics'. The MARTY, which stands for Multiple Actuator Research Test bed for Yaw control, was develop by a team at Stanford's Dynamic Design Lab, which first designed to car to drift – a style of driving where the car moves forward but in a sideways position.

This fall, Nordstrom opened a new store in West Hollywood, Calif., called Nordstrom Local, that didn't actually stock clothes you can buy. Instead, you can get manicures, try on clothes, talk to stylists and consultants about fashion, and meet with friends over coffee or perhaps a glass of Pinot Grigio (yes, there's a bar). If you want to buy something, it'll be available for same-day pickup or delivery. As bizarre as the concept might seem, it's likely a glimpse into the way many stores will soon function. Forward-thinking retail experts say that over the next decade or so the act of physical shopping will transform in two key ways. One, shopping will become more of an entertaining experience for trying out new products and services rather than a repetitive chore for purchasing and picking up things to bring home.

Microsoft is testing a futuristic feature that will allow users to control their computers using only their eyes. The program - which is in beta - makes it possible to operate an on-screen mouse, keyboard, and text-to-speech using just users' eyes. Windows 10 users with the compatible eye-tracking device already on their computer can try out the feature. The new feature, which Microsoft has released in its latest beta software, makes it possible to operate an on-screen mouse, keyboard, and text-to-speech using just users' eyes. Microsoft has a futuristic feature that will allow users to control their computers using only their eyes in beta testing.
