    An autonomous taxi has become the first driverless car to take and pass a driving test made for humans.

    Korean company Hyundai ’s all-electric IONIQ 5 robotaxi successfully completing a process similar to a U.S. driver’s license test.

    It was done to convey the safety and trustworthiness of the vehicle’s autonomous technology.

    It completed a series of public-level skills in and around Las Vegas in the USA.

    A Hyundai spokesperson said the achievement highlighted “ its potential to safely provide freedom of mobility to all.”

    The test os also used to show how autonomous vehicles could be life changing for visually impaired people who cannot get a driving licence for a car of their own.

    That included a young woman named Pearl Outlaw who faces mobility limitations due to a sight condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa.

    The spokesperson said The IONIQ 5 robotaxi promises to fulfil her dream of independent mobility while offering the freedom to explore without reliance on others.

    The test was performed by certified US driving examiner Kandice Jones who sat in the front passenger seat to monitor the car’s performance in manoeuvring safely around Vegas.

    A company building the world's fastest airliner has announced the successful flight of test prototype.

    The aircraft, dubbed XB-1, is the world's first independently developed supersonic jet.

    It did not fly supersonic for the test by maker Boom Supersonic.

    The XB-1 is a test prototype in the development of a passenger aircraft called Overture.

    The XB-1took to the air at the Mojave Air & Space Port in Mojave, California.

    Like Overture, XB-1 has state-of-the-art technologies to enable efficient supersonic flight including carbon fibre composites, advanced avionics, digitally-optimised aerodynamics, and an advanced supersonic propulsion system.

    Boom Supersonic founder Blake Scholl said: ”I've been looking forward to this flight since founding Boom in 2014, and it marks the most significant milestone yet on our path to bring supersonic travel to passengers worldwide."

    XB-1 was flown by Boom test pilot Bill "Doc" Shoemaker.

    He said:” The experience we have gained in reaching this milestone will be invaluable to Boom's revival of supersonic travel."

    An aircraft being developed to fly at more than five times the speed of sound for hypersonic research, has completed its first flight.

    A test version of the Talon-A was released from an aircraft at high altitude and hit almost 6.000 km/h Mach 5.

    The US company behind its development said it was unable to give the exact speed and altitude speed achieved by the aircraft because of customer confidentiality reasons.

    The unmanned test aircraft, called the TA-0 , was attached to the underside of a giant plane called the Roc, taken up 10,000 metres and then released over California.

    The TA-0, powered by a liquid-fuel rocket engine, ended its flight by descending into the ocean as planned.

    Future versions will be capable of landing on a runway for reuse.

    A spokesperson for Mojave-based developer Stratolaunch said the first flight represents a major milestone in the development of the country's first privately funded, reusable hypersonic test capability.

    A wearable interface that allows severely disabled people to carry out complex tasks using a robot by simply moving their head to command it has been unveiled.

    The Head-Worn Assistive Teleoperation , known as HAT for short, is an experimental interface to control a mobile robot named Stretch.

    Stretch is a commercially available mobile robot outfitted with a pincer-like gripper on its

    HAT detects head movement using a sensor in a cap, headband or a chin strap.

    A computer screen is available to control Stretch in tasks that are out of the user's line of sight, such as sending the robot to fetch something from another room.

    It is also possible to use HAT to control a computer cursor with head movements.

    The device is under development from two students at the USA’s Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

    The pair, Akhil Padmanabha and Janavi Gupta, spent a week at the home of quadriplegic Henry Evans to test their device in the real world

    A wearable interface that allows severely disabled people to carry out complex tasks using a robot by simply moving their head to command it has been unveiled.

    The Head-Worn Assistive Teleoperation , known as HAT for short, is an experimental interface to control a mobile robot named Stretch.

    Stretch is a commercially available mobile robot outfitted with a pincer-like gripper on its

    HAT detects head movement using a sensor in a cap, headband or a chin strap.

    A computer screen is available to control Stretch in tasks that are out of the user's line of sight, such as sending the robot to fetch something from another room.

    It is also possible to use HAT to control a computer cursor with head movements.

    The device is under development from two students at the USA’s Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
