Wow, are you in need of smart shoes? #Nike presents #AdaptBB, a giant leap forward for #wearables that could redefine the sneaker. It's self-lacing and involves an app, a motor and wires that draw the shoe tight (or loose, if you prefer) around the foot. https://t.co/SA17WX5qhM pic.twitter.com/7jxWVkZwUT

We knew that #Amazon is looking at many ways to automate #delivery. So quite naturally they've rolled out their new #AmazonScout service in a pilot community north of Seattle. Doesn't it have stark similarity to @StarshipRobots' #deliveryrobots? Hmm… https://t.co/pTXWEJlHYR pic.twitter.com/RtLsLQomx9

#ElonMusk says that #Tesla's newest #AdvancedSummon update has received regulatory approval. It will let you operate your Tesla like a big remote control car. Spooky… and so far it is not clear which regulators exactly gave approval to the feature. #AV https://t.co/f1HYEK9RKi pic.twitter.com/yZ1a09KrNH

Interesting: #Google buys #Fossil’s #smartwatch tech for $40mn. For sure they're not happy where #AndroidWear is (compared to Apple). Wear struggles both with style but also underlying tech. Good to see continued commitment, but more work will be needed! https://t.co/QSZszjCcw8 pic.twitter.com/782w9x9oVw
