Nissan's autonomous driving car prototype hits the road

Nissan's EV Leaf-Based autonomous driverless car is now being tested Japanese public roads and highways. It features various modes of driving and Nissan seems to be focusing on testing the Intelligent Driving System features pertinent to dricing autonomously in heavy traffic situations on highways. This stop-go rate of driving for long periods of time is the most stressful one for drivers and having the car take over is a good place to start, specially since it can safely correct itself in various situations.

Nissan seems to be on the ball with their rollout plans, autonomous driving in traffic by 2016, the ability to change lanes by 2018 and the smarts to navigate city roads and intersection without human input by 2020.

Dolphin browser on Android gets Marshmallow treatment

Alternative Android browser Dolphin has finally released its latest update on Google Play Store, bringing with it support for Android Marshmallow. The update first came to Nexus 9, Nexus 7, and Nexus 5 users earlier this month to test out the issues of the app. Some of the issues that surface include crash issues from launching the app, accessing resource and data-intensive sites, and even inputting text in the address bar. AdBlock feature wasn’t available from the Control Panel even if Add-on was enabled. There were even issues with not being able to tab push after login and going through Dolphin Connect login failure issues. Thankfully, all of these seem to have been addressed. You can download the app from the link below.

Google quietly drops Who’s Down app, lets your friends know you want to hang out

Google just released a new app that will let your friends know you’re up for hanging out. The Who’s Down app is currently invite only, which Google does a lot with its newer apps and services. If you do have an invite, what you can do is have access to a quick toggle switch that lets your friends know you are “down” to do a specific activity. And then that app lets you chat with your friends from within the app. You can download the app for free both on Android and iOS but again, if you don’t have an invite to use it, you won’t be able to.
