Rolls-Royce’s concept is as futuristic as it gets

Rolls-Royce’s new concept is truly a vision. The 103EX vision vehicle highlights how the luxury car manufacturer interprets the self-driving technology. The car itself is 20 feet long and stands five feet tall. It has a two-person silk covered couch and a see-through glass display in the dashboard area where your steering wheel usually is. It has a roof canopy, has bespoke features, and promises to be almost soundless as Rolls-Royce says: “The only sound is the hushed beat of your own heart.” And, of course, the car comes with artificial intelligence in the form of Eleanor. You can watch the concept video above or get a 360-degree look of the car in this link. Rolls-Royce says they could make the 103EX available in the 2040s.

‘No Man’s Sky’ settles legal issue with Sky TV over its name

In case you forgot, once upon a time Microsoft OneDrive was called SkyDrive. Why did they change the name? Well, a UK television broadcaster, Sky TV, apparently owns the word “sky” and won a court battle against Microsoft back in 2014. Indie game No Man’s Sky almost had to change its name for the same reason. Its developer Hello Games has been engaged in a three-year legal battle with the TV broadcaster but it seems the issue has finally been settled. Hello Games’s founder Sean Murray shared the news on Twitter without going into detail about the deal. We can’t say either if this is the reason why the game got delayed for another two months and is coming out on August 9th.
