Czech carmaker Skoda is betting big on China. They unveiled an electric concept car called the Vision E, through which they hope to take their place in the world's largest auto market. Skoda CEO Bernhard Maier's presence at the unveiling underscores the importance of the market to the company. Skoda's new Vision E electric concept car was unveiled at the 2017 International Automobile & Manufacturing Technology Exhibition, also known as Auto Shanghai Expo on Tuesday. The four-seat crossover is based on VW Group’s MEB platform. Vision E has two electric motors delivering a combined 225kW of power. Designed in the Czech Republic, the Vision E is fuelled by liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery cells, and boasts a potential driving range of 310 miles. China's automotive industry has been the largest in the world since 2008. Chinese automakers produce more cars than the US and Japanese markets combined. In 2014, China produced over a quarter of the world's cars.
OKcupid, Tinder and Grindr might just be the dating tech of the past, as Ripple, a wearable device that lets you know when potential suitors are giving you the eye, sends waves through the streets of London. Expounding on the concept of their creation from a studio at the Royal College of Arts in London on Wednesday, the designers explained that Ripple is “kind of like your friend on your back …, amplifying your natural intuition as far as when people are interested in you." It does this by using cameras embedded in the tentacular design, recognising when people are looking, how long they look for, and the number of times they pay attention to you. Once Ripple realises you have a suitor, it will begin to send small ripples down your back. Luckily, there is a way to stop Ripple from picking up too much unwanted attention; according to one of the device’s designers Lyle Baumgarten “once you find out who made it start rippling then you have to say OK, I want to wave back at you, otherwise it just ignores them." The accessory is the creation of four art and engineering students at Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art.
