Techcrunch has been reporting how big company execs at the WEF event in Davos have been discussing the subject of The Future of Mobile Technology. I found the Techcrunch blog post pretty boring, which almost certainly means that the real event was not any better. I then had a look on YouTube to see if I could find the video of the discussion round, but there was nothing. Still, I found this funny one which is at least not boring to watch and has the same title: Future of mobile communications.

Tesla Motors, a well-funded California startup, has built a battery powered sports car. If you have ever had the pleasure of getting stuck in the huge traffic mess around Los Angeles (where Tesla Motors is located) not only might you think that it would be a good idea to reduce pollution by using alternative energy cars but, even more, you might puzzled at how it is possible to not develop and enforce the use of functional public transportation to ease things up. But that is a different topic. Now Tesla Motors has passed - according a blog written by the VP of Vehicle Integration - the US safety tests and will now be able to sell the car in all 50 US states. The tests obviously proved that the Li-Ion battery-packed car will not become a fireball even in serious crashes. Although one might argue whether it really makes a difference if you are rolled over by a tank or burned alive by exploding Li-Ion batteries. I need to think that one over some more.
