A couple of things I found very interesting aren’t consumer products, but I think they’re a great use of technology. Like “The Flying Cell Tower”.
Spooky Action Telelift is a revolutionary drone-based cell tower, designed to provide network coverage to a large area quickly. Telelift can lift an EnodeB to an altitude of 100-400 feet AGL and is programmable for up to six weeks of continuous flight. —- So it can provide emergency cell service quickly after major disasters. It has a single thin tether wire to a vehicle providing the power. (Truck, van, SUV, etc.).
John Deere lets the farmer farm, right from the farm house!
John Deere revealed the first fully autonomous tractor that’s ready for large-scale production. With 6 stereo cameras a farmer can run his tractor 24/7 if necessary, all from his phone or tablet. And as the spokesperson said: “This technology is not a concept – it’s available to farmers this year.” It seems isn’t clear yet whether these new autonomous John Deere tractors will be leased or sold. But you’re probably not in the market for one anyway. But they’re pretty incredible.
