Ford Gets Night Vision. Ford motor company is testing a new sensor that could allow your car to one day see the road at night—without lights. Called LIDAR, the system is being put to use in Ford's autonomous research vehicles. Cars follow the road on their own: without cameras, without lights. Instead, 3D maps are read by the self-driving cars, which then find their location to then read the road. Yes, the technology is still very beta. So no, the feature's not part of your fully loaded 2016 Fiesta.

Tell Android Everything. Who emails anymore? (Let's not even talk about voice mails.) But now typing is heading quickly to retirement.

All you need is a Cardboard viewer (This one will do) and the Medical Realities' app.

Drone Pilot Needed. Imagine a city agency spending more than $7,000—on two drones—and having them sit in their box because no one can fly them. That's the reality in England, where a local council in Essex bought two drones for £5000 in January 2015 for surveillance—and never put them to use, says the BBC. Maybe they could get some help from these guys.
