• Monaco-based eVTOL company McClic just launched the MC One, a personal flying machine that's a coaxial octocopter
• It's a streamlined, easy to use, one-seater that's essentially a fuselage connected to 4 beams with 2 propellers on each beam
• Range:  12 to 15 minutes on a charge
• Top speed:  50 mph 
• Cost:  $150,000 
• Flies like a drone with a flight control system that automatically balances the electric vehicle, makes adjustments based on wind conditions & allows the pilot to enjoy the flight
• Can be flown after 10 minutes of training
• Flies at an angle up to 55-degrees
• Can carry a pilot up to 198 pounds
• Can be ordered for delivery next year.

• The 1st design concept from the GM China Advanced Design Center is a ground-braking Buick Proxima concept sedan

• GM says the concept totally reinvents the philosophy and the proportions of Buick's flagship sedan 
• The EV has a next-G electric powertrain that increases interior space & comfort
• The Design Center has recruited a lot of top, young Chinese automotive design and engineering talent who are tasked with designing innovative solutions for the next generation of customers in China and elsewhere
• According to GM's Chief of Design in China Stuart Norris, the rapid technological developments in China are allowing the reimagining of vehicles
• Proxima is Buick's 1st, full-sized sedan with new design styling, signature lighting & gullwing doors
• Proxima means next in Portuguese & Spanish
• The EV is modeled on the new electric vehicle architecture that GM is expected to debut in the next 5 to 10 years - it's a new take on the future of Buick.

• Artificial intelligence (AI) can envision what dogs will look like from the impacts of Climate Change on them
• AI predicts that protection measures in dogs will develop from the rising temperatures caused by CC including shorter snouts to make it easier to breathe and thicker hair on their feet to protect them from the hot ground
• Forecasts include dogs to be more foxlike with huge ears & hairless legs to dissipate excess heat
• Also, lighter hair and blonder/white haired dogs to deflect the heat
• These forecasts come from AI platforms by Gencraft and Midjourney that generated future evolutions in man's best friend
• Changes in characteristics in dogs take 8 generations to become fixed in breeds.
