TIS Weekly (#58): On The Move
[July 17th, 2016]
If there’s one area that’s certainly on the move it’s mobility! From self-driving cars and breaking speed records, to research into sustainable fuel and the testing of the Hyperloop pods this summer. Exciting times!
Transport
An orb for a wheel
‘Why keep driving on wheels?’ is what tire manufacturer Goodyear must have thought. They went back to the drawing board and came up with the Eagle-360. From driving on wheels to driving on spheres.
Transport
Uber for Uganda
Public transport in Uganda is mainly made up of boda boda’s (motorbike taxi). They are the fastest, but by no means the safest way to get to your destination. Startup SafeBoda is trying to professionalize transportation and uses a smartphone app to hook people up with safe rides.
Transport
Because we all love gadgets!
Ever since we saw Michael J. Fox flying a hoverboard in Back To The Future, we have wanted one! And now, here is the Lexus Hover. Stunning, we might add!
OK that’s it for this week, friends of innovation. Keep on submitting, keep on voting, keep on innovating. Questions? Remarks? Ideas? hello@tis.tv is the address! From TIS with love, Erwin Blom.
