Gone are the days when poorly-parked cars took up too much space in already overcrowded car parks. These clever platforms are able to move cars and park them closely next to one another to save as much space as possible. A huge robotic car park in Beijing makes parking a breeze because self-charging platforms park your vehicle for you in the most effective way possible.
Have you ever heard the phrase 'balls of steel'? Well, Chinese Kung Fu Master Wei Yaobin has spent the last 10 years building a reputation as the incarnation of that phrase. He teaches his extreme style, called ‘Iron Crotch Kung Fu,’ in the Chinese city of Luoyang, where he owns and runs a Kung Fu studio. His specialty is teaching students how to take powerful hits to one's nether-regions. Students of ‘Iron Crotch Kung Fu’ subject themselves to repeated strong blows to their genitalia with all sorts of different objects, including bricks and even log rams. Contrary to your instincts, this jaw-dropping practice is actually believed to be good for male sexual health. 'Iron Crotch Kung Fu' enthusiasts say the practice could cure erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Do you think you could handle Iron Crotch Kung Fu?
"The United Nations Security Council, the primary platform for questions of global peace, is deadlocked by geopolitical fissures. This is not the first time the Council has been divided, but it is the worst. Today's dysfunction is deeper and more dangerous," says UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in his speech to the General Assembly presenting his 2024 priorities. SOUNDBITE
BMW Group Innovations at CES 2024 - Teleoperated Valet Parking
The BMW Group and Valeo have entered a strategic partnership to work on the joint development of next-generation automated Level 4 parking solutions. This includes the development of solutions for automated valet parking (AVP). Here, the customer leaves their vehicle in a designated drop-off area. The vehicle then searches for a vacant parking space itself, manoeuvres into the space and later exits it again, and can even drive back to the pick-up area for collection by the driver. Either an autonomous driving system or a teleoperated valet system can be used as the underlying technology for this.CES 2024 visitors will have the opportunity to try out teleoperated valet parking for themselves. Teleoperation offers complete control in situations that could be very challenging for fully autonomous systems, such as in complex or unfamiliar environments.The teleoperator uses sophisticated technology and live camera images to guide and move the vehicle so that it can be parked and retrieved again in a carefully controlled manner. Possible future applications for this technology could include parking at events, at airports or in the logistics sector.
