NEW - A Robot Slides Under Your Car And Parks It For You
Description
South Korea has one of the worst parking shortages in the world, and Kris Abel explains the strange, genuinely clever fix Hyundai came up with. A flat robot slides underneath a parked vehicle, lifts it off the ground, and carries it away to store it, no driver required and no wasted space for opening doors.
Kris also gets into a New Jersey restaurant opening next year built entirely around the horror game Five Nights at Freddy's, complete with nightmarish animatronics and pizza served on the side. He wraps with PurPad, a new MacBook app that hijacks the trackpad's haptics to make it vibrate like a purring cat.
If you want the weirdest, most interesting corners of tech news without digging for them yourself, this covers it.
