Uber could soon know if you’re drunk before the car arrives to pick you up

Uber is looking at the idea of using artificial intelligence (A.I.) to determine if riders have had one beer too many, and then tailor its service accordingly.

A patent application filed by the ridesharing company this week details how A.I. could be used to detect small changes in a rider’s behavior as they use the app to request an Uber.

Titled “predicting user state using machine learning,” the patent doesn’t explicitly mention drunkenness or drug use. But its contents, which speak of “uncharacteristic user states” and “identifying a normal or abnormal state of the respective user,” suggest such matters to be at the center of the idea. Other conditions that could also conceivably lead to uncharacteristic behavior by a rider could also include extreme tiredness.

So how would it work? According to the filing, A.I. smarts built into the app would monitor behavior such as typing speed and accuracy, as well as walking speed and direction, before interpreting the data to determine whether the rider is compos mentis or utterly mangled.

In other words, if you’re typing slower than usual, making more mistakes than you ordinarily do, and perhaps dropping the phone or walking all over the place, the software is likely to conclude that you’re intoxicated.

The algorithm could also make use of time and location data, taking special note of whether or not the ride request is coming from an entertainment area with bars and clubs at the end of the night.

If the system concludes that the rider is inebriated, it could deal with the Uber request in a number of ways. For example, it might match the razzled rider with a more experienced driver, or one trained to handle such potentially disorderly passengers. It might also prevent drunk riders from taking a pooled ride. At the very least, it would serve as notice to the driver that the rider they’re about to collect may be the worse for wear.

Of course, if the algorithm detects someone in a particularly bad state, a driver may simply refuse to pick them up for fear of them vomiting in their vehicle, or worse.

Some Uber riders, however, may find the idea expressed in Uber’s patent somewhat troubling, especially as it could offer a way for predatory drivers to target vulnerable riders who may not be in full control of their faculties.

Privacy advocates, too, may not like the sound of it. Uber doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to handling customer data, and holding information on when its riders are perceived to be sozzled or sober may leave some riders feeling uncomfortable.

When asked about the patent, Uber boss Dara Khosrowshahi told the NY Post that “it’s kind of a cool idea,” adding that if it made Uber safer, “it’s certainly something we would look at.”

It should be pointed out, however, that at this stage it’s simply an idea outlined in a document, so it may never see the light of day. We’ll keep you posted.

A single police drone has seriously impacted crime in a Mexican city

Powie/Pixabay

Drones are finding a place in so many industries lately that it’s little surprise police departments have also been testing the technology for crime-fighting operations.

The city of Ensenada in Mexico, for example, has recently achieved positive results using just a single quadcopter, Wired reported this week. The flying machine has helped to cut overall crime in the city by as much as 10 percent, including a 30 percent drop in house burglaries,

Cops in Ensenada, located a couple of hours south of the U.S. border, have been using DJI’s Inspire 1 quadcopter for the last four months and so far the eye in the sky has helped them to make a whopping 500 arrests.

The police department’s drone has been sent skyward mostly in response to emergency calls from the public, so far flying around 25 missions a day. Once it’s up in the air, any authorized cop can tap into the drone camera’s feed, whether they’re out with the camera or sitting at their desk back at base.

The software powering the drone has been created by a California firm called Cape. CEO Chris Rittler says the remotely controlled copter can often beat car-based officers to a crime scene, allowing them to survey a scene prior to arrival and track a suspect’s movements if one is identified. Rittler believes that for a city the size of Ensenada — about half a million people — you’d need no more than 12 quadcopters to cover its entirety. Certainly, their versatility makes them a more powerful monitoring tool than fixed security cameras, and more cost-effective to operate than helicopters with on-board cameras.

Drones for law enforcement

Law enforcement in a number of countries are steadily finding ways to incorporate drone technology into their daily operations. In the U.K., for example, Devon and Cornwall Police, and neighboring Dorset Police, teamed up in 2017 to launch a drone unit for assistance with missing person searches, gathering images from crime scenes and major traffic accidents, and taking part in coastal and woodland searches to fight wildlife crime. Like in Ensenada, the unit uses DJI’s Inspire drone equipped with powerful thermal imaging and zoom cameras.

In France, meanwhile, traffic cops have been using drones to catch speeding drivers.

Proving their use in emergency situations, a drone recently helped rescuers save a resident from an encroaching lava flow on the island of Hawaii, while in the U.K. recently, the technology was used to help find a car crash victim who’d strayed from his vehicle.

In what looks to have been a significant move, DJI recently teamed up with connected law enforcement company Axon to market DJI drones to law enforcement agencies around the world.

The Axon Air program will promote DJI’s Phantom 4 Pro and Matrice 210 drones for law enforcement work, while also offering information about how the technology can be used to tackle crime or help in other related operations.

Looking ahead, Amazon envisages police using mini drones that travel around with officers and assist them with their work, though admittedly such a scenario still seems a ways off.

Uber Lite is a barebones version of the app that comes in at just 5MB

Uber Lite is making its way to India, and will expand to other emerging markets later this year.

India is one of Uber’s largest markets, and the ride-sharing service is doubling down in the country with a new lightweight version of its app. Dubbed Uber Lite, the app comes in at just 5MB, and is designed primarily to run on low-end hardware and 2G networks. The app strips out the vehicle animations, and you don’t even get the map view by default.

An overwhelming majority of phones sold in India are budget devices that retail for under $200, so it makes sense for Uber to launch a lightweight app that provides a better user experience. Uber is touting a 300-millisecond response time for the app, and the company says Uber Lite will work on all Android phones.

The app automatically pulls in your location via GPS, and there’s a textbox where you can enter your destination details. You get to see how close an Uber is to your location, view fare estimates, and choose from UberGo, Pool, Premier, Moto, and UberXL. You’ll also be able to call the driver and share your ride status once you get going. The app caches the top locations in your city, making it easy to pick a destination even when you’re in an area with little to no connectivity.

Like the regular Uber app, Uber Lite will be able to surface smarter recommendations over time as it learns your usage habits. And while maps aren’t available when you launch the app, there’s an option to toggle them should you need to see the route.

Uber says it’s also working on local language support, a progress bar that will let you follow your cab’s progress, and the ability to book a ride even when you’re offline. Uber Lite is clearly aimed at taking on Ola, India’s home-grown ride-hailing service, which launched a lightweight version of its app earlier this year. Ola Lite comes in at just 580KB, and offers most of the features of the full-fledged app.

Uber Lite isn’t available on the Play Store just yet, but you can fill up the form below to be the first to try out the app in early access.

What is a convection oven, and how do you use it?

If you have a shiny new convection oven on your counter, or a wall oven that includes convection capabilities, you may be thinking, “Cool! But how do I use the convection setting? Do I just turn it on?”

Well…not exactly. Convection ovens take a little practice to use with your favorite recipes, because this mode can indeed affect how dishes turn out during cooking. Let’s go over everything you need to know about this kitchen technology and how to cook with it properly.

Setting the temperature

The “convection” in convection ovens refers to heating via air. A convection oven still uses traditional heating methods, but it adds an airflow cycle that blows hot air across the cooking dish and vents it back out again.

Basically, this means that your food is being cooked by both radiant heat and heated air passing over the food. This speeds up the cooking process, but it also offers other advantages: Food in convection ovens tends to cook more evenly without experiencing “hot spots,” and it’s easier to brown foods a bit for a delicious crunchy crust when appropriate.

In fact, convection cooking is so efficient that you will need to begin by adjusting the temperature down for your recipes. This saves energy and ensures that your food will cook as expected instead of cooking too quickly. Here, we offer three important rules to serve as a guideline:

• For shorter cooking times and easy projects (like cookies), lower the expected temperature by 10-15 percent.
• For big cooking projects that will take a lot of time (like roasts), lower the temperature by as much as 30 percent for reliable cooking.
• When in doubt, drop the temperature by 25-30 degrees than the temperature you would normally use.

Give the air as much room as possible

Since convection cooking depends a lot on air, it’s important to give that circulating air room to do it its work. Convection cooking is not the time to fill the oven rack with every pan you can squeeze in. Instead, limit yourself to one dish per rack to give the air plenty of space to move around.

Also, use low-profile pans and baking dishes when possible. Expose as much surface area of your food as you can to the moving air so that it can cook reliably. Today’s roasting pans and trays tend to have low sides, but if you have older cookware with a high profile, think about an update to improve convection results.

Set your timer a bit early and check your dish

Even with the temperature lowered, convection ovens can cook dishes faster than you might expect. To prevent unpleasant surprises, set your timer about 5 – 10 minutes earlier than you normally would (adjusting for the food and tray type), especially when first starting out.

When the timer goes off, check your food. If it looks like it’s doing nicely and could use several minutes to finish up, you are good to go. But if your food has already browned over, is at a hard sizzle, or just looks done, you may want to cut your cooking time short to prevent drying out or burning.

These foods do particularly well on convection

Foods that roast or caramelize are an excellent fit for convection cooking. Many baked goods also perform very well in these conditions. Freely use your convection setting when:

• Roasting ham, turkey, roast-ready beef cuts, and similar meats
• Roasting vegetables for a little extra crisp
• Cookies and muffins—especially when you want to bake a lot at a time: These small foods defy our “leave plenty of space” rule because they have space, well, baked in…although the air current may give your muffins a more curious shape
• Pies and pastry
• Covered casseroles—when casseroles have covers or foil, they won’t lose much moisture…although convection settings may not be as effective in these situations
• Toasting breads or buns
• Drying foods out as part of meal prep – think dehydrating fish or roasting nuts

Avoid convection with these foods

Other foods you want to cook slowly, particularly delicate foods that need a very specific consistency. Avoid the convection option when:

• Cooking custards or flans—the delicate, spongy surface of these foods fares very poorly in a convection oven
• Soufflés—likewise, a soufflé needs carefully controlled surface baking, and a convection oven will burn them without allowing them to rise
• Cakes and similar large confectionary items, which tend to either rise too quickly and collapse or cook too fast and end up as a brown mound
• Baking quickbreads—this might be confusing, since some cookies and pastries are considered short breads, but we are referring to breads that really need to rise but don’t have traditional yeasts. That include banana and pumpkin bread, cornbread, beer bread, and so on: You can cook many of these in convection ovens, but you have to be careful and keep a close eye on the process

Sensors and automatic features

Hamilton Beach

Modern convection ovens often have preset options and a “sensor cooking” or automatic temperature selection option. Should you use them? That depends.

Brands like LG have well-rated sensor cook options that you can use with dishes you are unfamiliar with. However, sensor cooking still isn’t as reliable as experience, so keep an eye on your food and be prepared to make adjustments.

When it comes to automatic cooking options, your most reliable option is a thermometer probe. These focus on setting accurate meat temperatures, and are available on a growing number of home ovens. There are also versions sold separately.

Here’s everything Ubisoft showcased during its E3 2018 presentation

Ubisoft just wrapped up its press conference leading up to the E3 gaming conference, previewing 10 games slated to arrive between now and the end of 2019. The publisher opened the show with a colorful musical number promoting Just Dance 2019 that was led by a dancing panda. The show ended with some exciting-yet-brutal swordplay pulled from Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. Ubisoft’s event was probably one the most exciting we’ve seen thus far. 

Beyond Good & Evil 2 

Dubbed a “space opera,” the long-awaited sequel to Beyond Good & Evil is an open-world action-adventure RPG taking place at the end of the 24th century. As previously reported, it’s actually a prequel to the first installment and the clip shown during Ubisoft’s press conference revealed Jade as the antagonist. The company also introduced the Space Monkey program, a partnership with HitRecord to integrate community-made music and visual assets into the upcoming game starting now. 

You can read the full story on our website. 

Trials Rising 

Trials is all about crashing in style and getting up again, and the upcoming sequel is no different. The franchise receives a “fresh visual look” and takes place in iconic locations for your motorcycle platforming pleasure, including Yellowstone Park and Paris. You’ll be able to compete with other players represented as ghosts, through local multiplayer or online. Players can also customize and share their outfits and bike “skins.”  

Trials Rising goes into closed beta later this year and will land on the PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in February 2019. 

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 

This was likely the biggest game of the show. The story takes place seven months after the black plague appeared on physical money and wiped out most of North America. You are the last line of defense for the United States, thus if you fail, history will be written by tyrants. Outside the story and gameplay, the conference revealed that Year One will produce three DLC packs in the form of episodes with new storylines, new areas to explore, and more. The multiplayer aspect will also include raids supporting eight players. 

You can register for the beta now. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 raids the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on March 15, 2019. Extended coverage about the reveal can be read on our website,  along with our hands-on coverage. 

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle 

The big news with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle during Ubisoft’s press conference is that the Donkey Kong DLC, aka Donkey Kong Adventure, arrives on June 26,. Joining Donkey Kong on this expanded adventure will be Rabbid Cranky Kong and Rabbid Peach. Also included are four new areas, Donkey Kong’s banana-rang weapon, and a new crossbow used by Rabbid Cranky Kong. 

Skull & Bones 

Piracy is dead in the Caribbean, so Ubisoft is sending you and your crew into the Indian Ocean. It’s a shared world where every player encounter matters, whether you team up to take on a nearby Portuguese frigate or turn against each other after confiscating the frigate’s loot. This portion of the show demonstrated the Skull & Bones‘ naval combat gameplay, including ship-to-ship battles and methods for sneaking around heavily-guarded waters. You can read our full coverage here. 

Skull & Bones will set sail on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2019. 

Transference 

Elijah Wood’s SpectreVision introduced this game during Ubisoft’s E3 press event last year, and nothing has really changed information-wise since then. It’s a first-person exploration game where a “troubled scientist” pulls you into the minds of his three digitally captured family members. Ubisoft calls Transference a “psychological thriller” where you have to solve a mystery from three different perspectives. 

Transference arrives this fall on VR and “traditional” gaming platforms. 

Starlink: Battle for Atlas 

The big news with Starlink: Battle for Atlas is that Ubisoft teamed up with Nintendo to add Fox McCloud as a playable character in the Nintendo Switch version. The game itself relies on physical starships you can customize on the fly in the real world to adapt your virtual ship to the current in-game situation. It’s a space combat simulator originally revealed during Ubisoft’s E3 show last year. You can read more in-depth coverage about the Fox McCloud aspect on our website. 

Starlink: Battle for Atlas flies onto the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on October 16, 2018. 

For Honor 

For starters, the conference revealed that you can now download the Starter Edition via Uplay on PC for free right now until June 18. The other For Honor tidbit introduced the Marching Fire update that adds a new faction, four new fighters, a castle siege mode called “Breach,” significant “visual enhancements,” and an unlimited single-player and two-person co-op player-vs-environment mode Ubisoft will reveal at a later date. 

For Honor‘s Marching Fire update burns on October 16, 2018. 

The Crew 2 

The only big news with Ubisoft’s upcoming open-world racing game is that the open beta begins at 1 p.m. June 21 and ends at the same time on June 25. The test will contain the first two levels and the game’s entire open world. The demo also provides solo play and up to three local friends in co-op mode. 

The full retail release launches on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on June 29, 2018. You can preload The Crew 2 starting now. 

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey 

This upcoming installment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise sets your role-playing journey in ancient Greece in 431 B.C. You are a simple mercenary, an outcast destined to become a Greek hero who’s armed with the spear of Leonidas. With Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, you can pick your character — Kassandra or Alexios — and stick with that choice throughout the game. The gameplay showcased at the end of Ubisoft’s conference highlighted Kassandra as she sliced her way through opponents until she came face-to-face with a brute of a warrior named Diokles.

Shot to the heart: Device carries drugs directly to injured internal organ

Our bodies are basically just mobile meat packages, chock full of internal organs that keep the whole thing running. But when something goes awry inside — when, for example, the heart momentarily gives out — the fact that these organs are tucked beneath layers of skin, muscle, and bone can make long-term treatment challenging.

A new device might help make some treatments more seamless by delivering medication directly to the heart. Developed by an international team of researchers (including from Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland), the device, Therepi, includes a tube that connects it to an external entry point, providing a sort of express lane from the abdomen to the internal organ.

Second Bay Studio/Harvard SEAS

In a study published this week in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, the researchers demonstrated how the device could deliver drugs, proteins, and stem cells to the heart. If applied in the real world, the technology could mean more efficiency, smaller doses, and fewer side effects than conventional drug delivery systems.

Therepi “allows repeated administration of therapy directly to a target in the body without necessitating multiple invasive surgeries,” Ellen Roche, a medical engineer at MIT and co-author of the study, told Digital Trends. “Using the platform we showed that we could increase cardiac function in a pre-clinical model, which demonstrates that the system has potential for future clinical translation.”

From the outside, Therepi would look like a small, circular, sponge-like patch on the lower abdomen. But inside the body, a small tub connects the patch to the heart, and carries medication directly to the organ.

Following a heart attack, scarring can cause further heart complications. Drugs and proteins can help treat scarring, but these medications often miss their target, requiring multiple doses and the risk of toxicity. Stem cells may also prove beneficial if they can be applied to the organ directly.

The idea is that Therepi would allow doctors to administer the medications more precisely, in smaller doses, and with fewer risks of side effects. In a 28-day pre-clinical trial conducted by Roche and her team, heart function in rodents increased for four weeks after injury when stem cells were delivered through Therepi.

There’s still plenty of work to be done on the device before it makes it to the market though. Among the next steps, Roche said it willbe making the implant more suitable for subjects and finding applications for other diseases. It will take another few years at least before Therepi might be implanted in humans.

The D-Mask may be the high-tech future of diving and snorkeling

As with most well-established sports and outdoor activities, the gear used in scuba diving and snorkeling continues to evolve, although at times it feels like true innovation comes at a snail’s pace. But a Chinese Chinese designer who goes by the name of ZJ-DDG unveiled a new concept design for a dive mask that has the potential to be a real game-changer, bringing a host of interesting technologies that could alter the way underwater exploration and adventure takes place.

The first major change that the the D-Mask brings to the table is that it does away with traditional scuba mask design in favor of something much larger. Rather than just covering the eyes and nose, this model actually envelopes the entire face, securing itself above the forehead and below the mouth. This results in a 180-degree field of view, which is much broader than what divers get from a traditional mask. It also reportedly provides a more comfortable fit due to the increased number of points of contact with the wearer’s face. In theory, it should also make it easier to breathe as well since a snorkel or regulator isn’t in the diver’s mouth, but is instead attached to a port on the side of the mask itself.

The large glass lens does a lot more than just provide an expanded view, it can also serve as a projection point for a built-in head-up display. Divers could have information like current depth, location, remaining oxygen levels, water temperature, and other data displayed right on the inside of the mask, making it easier to keep track of those variables.

Other intriguing features include bone-conducting audio for listening to music and two-way communications with other divers or the dive boat on the surface. The D-Mask also comes with built-in LED lighting to help illuminate the deep, as well as a digital camera for capturing all of the underwater action. A companion mobile app for a smartphone would allow for the creation of playlists and sharing photos and videos to social media outlets.

Since this is still just a concept, there is no telling when or if it would actually be made into a real product. ZJ-DDG has admitted that there are a few hurdles to overcome, including how to keep the interior of the face shield from fogging up. Still, if this could go into production it would surely create a lot of interest in the diving community.
