BMW wants to sell subscriptions to in-car features
[ad_1] Of course, the less charitable way to frame the entire idea is that BMW wants to make more money on its already expensive cars. Even one of its more affordable models will set you back about $36,000. It’s probably safe to say that’s a price at which most people don’t want to pay a monthly […]

Palmer Luckey’s startup will build a ‘virtual’ border wall
[ad_1] Anduril’s hardware almost looks like it belongs in orbit, rather than sitting amid desert scrub. On the ground, two wide solar panels collect energy to keep the surveillance tower running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And at the top of a lengthy mast sit a cluster of cameras, sensors and antennae […]
