Apple outs second app for Android, the Beats Pill+ app

We might be seeing a trend here. Or at least Apple is slowly opening up to Google’s mobile operating system. This time around, Apple introduced its second app on Android for the new Beats Pill+ speaker. The app is pretty straightforward as it lets you control what’s on your playlist, check on the battery life, link two devices for that stereo sound effect, and name your speaker. It does make sense they offer this on Android as the speaker isn’t really iOS exclusive.

New Mini convertible expected to roll out in 2016

A third generation Mini Convertible is coming to soak up the sun in 2016. This will feature a fabric soft-top that takes 18 seconds to retract and is quieter and smoother than the previous versions. For safety, rollover protection bars pop-up when needed.

Other creature comforts include air-con, Bluetooth, rear parking sensors and a reversing camera are standard, along with a 6.5 inchdisplay screen. An even larger display with GPS is an option. Pick the ‘Mini Connected XL’ option and should drivers park the mini with the roof open, it can even text you automatically if rain’s expected. Now, that's just smart.

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.
