The latest test drive marks the final chapter in a three year long project which has seen the development of the next step in autonomous driving technology. Since 2009, Volvo Car Corporation has been the driving force behind the EU funded SARTRE project (Safe Road-Trains for the Environment), bringing vehicle platooning technology one step closer to becoming a reality on Europe’s roads.

Volvo Cars, the premium car maker, will work together with Microsoft, the leading platform and productivity company, to jointly develop next generation automotive technologies.
The two companies today revealed how Microsoft HoloLens, the world’s first fully untethered holographic computer, might be used in future to redefine how customers first encounter and explore a car, as well as how cars might be bought and sold in future.
Areas of future collaboration between the two companies could include autonomous driving technologies and the utilisation of data generated from connected cars to create new services.
Today’s HoloLens demonstration was conducted at Microsoft’s global headquarters in Redmond, USA, and showed how mixed reality might be used by customers to configure cars in three dimensions. With HoloLens, a powerful, wearable computer, holograms are mixed into the physical world.

Clip Part 1 of 7 taken from movie Utopia featuring the song Synthetic Paradise from the Utopia Album by Breck Stewart. Actors: Breck Stewart, Eric Deslauriers. This song relates to that place where we all yearn to take refuge in, this sort of fabricated haven where the harsh reality of life is somehow muted. Like a perfect island in the middle of nowhere full of life, light and beauty.
Rock 'n Rollers, High-Heels and beautiful women... what sounds like the simple characterization of any backstage area is also the reality at the major shoe fair GDS which is attended by people from professional circles. Buyers from all major retail and online stores come to the event in Duesseldorf, to look for trends and put their signatures in order books. And when business calls, celebrities are not far.
In the real jungle, the world is still OK, at least this is the hope many conservationists have. Whether the shoe fashion jungle is intact and alive, buyers of all shoe retailers had the chance to examine at the trade fair GDS in Düsseldorf. Rumble in the Jungle, a trend motto in the halls, and this also seems to be the reality: business is rumbling and booming mightily.

Imagine a device worn on your finger that allows intuitive, touch-free interaction with the digital world. Imagine a solar panel the size of a microcontroller that enables environmental intelligence in any building. Imagine integrating carbon monoxide sensing, thermostat control and biometric security capabilities to a smoke detector without increasing its size. This smarter, greener, battery-free world is fast becoming a reality with the world’s lowest-power microcontroller platform from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN). Codenamed “Wolverine” for its aggressive power-saving technology, this ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontroller platform offers at least 50 percent less power consumption than any other microcontroller in the industry (360 nA real-time clock mode and less than 100 µA/MHz active power consumption). The first devices based on this platform will be the MSP430FR58xx microcontroller series with expected availability in June 2012.
