Ouch. Two flying cars collided with each other during an airshow rehearsal in Changchun, a city in northeastern China. Videos on social media show emergency response vehicles at the scene as a big plume of dark smoke billows from one of the wrecks. Fortunately, it doesn't sound like anybody involved in the crash between the two electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, developed by the Xpeng AeroHT subsidiary of EV giant Xpeng, was seriously hurt.

Uber Eats is testing out drone deliveries yet again, this time in partnership with Flytrex. To note, Flytrex is one of the drone operators behind Walmart's drone deliveries and already delivers food in some parts of the US. It's one of the four providers that received authorization by the FAA for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, in which pilots can't see the aircraft they're controlling directly.

Latest TRON: Ares trailer takes us back to 1982

We're one month away from the theatrical release of TRON: Ares, and Disney is seeking to stoke interest with a new trailer that shows the titular program going back to the original 1984 grid—and encountering an unexpected figure: the one and only Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges). (Some spoilers for Tron and Tron: Legacy below.) As previously reported, TRON: Legacy ended with Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), son of Kevin Flynn, preventing the digital world from bleeding into the real world, as planned by

Flynn Lives in New ‘Tron: Ares’ Trailer That Goes Heavy on Jeff Bridges

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-03 13:45:31

There are a lot of big names in the cast of Tron: Ares but, really, there’s one that truly sells the movie. That’s Jeff Bridges. Bridges, of course, starred in the first Tron over 40 years ago, as well as its sequel, Tron: Legacy, 15 years ago. His character, Kevin Flynn, is the key to everything that has happened in this story, and while Tron: Ares doesn’t seem to be about him, the fact he’s in it at all is a major selling point. That’s why we really enjoyed this new trailer released by Disney

Could We Probe an Interstellar Object Before It Zips Out of the Solar System?

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-10-14 13:35:42

In June, a mysterious object was spotted hurtling through the inner solar system on a hyperbolic path. It was later confirmed as an interstellar object, the third such entity from outside our solar system to be seen in the night skies. The rare discovery has prompted a scientific scramble to understand the object and its origins, including potential probes to study it up close. Scientists at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) put together a mission study that outlines how a spacecraft coul

'Ten Martini' Proof Uses Number Theory to Explain Quantum Fractals

But in some ways, the proof was a bit unsatisfying. Jitomirskaya and Avila had used a method that only applied to certain irrational values of alpha. By combining it with an intermediate proof that came before it, they could say the problem was solved. But this combined proof wasn’t elegant. It was a patchwork quilt, each square stitched out of distinct arguments. Moreover, the proofs only settled the conjecture as it was originally stated, which involved making simplifying assumptions about th

Furious Fred Durst Knocks Drone Out of Air During Live Concert

In audience-shot videos from a recent show in Istanbul, Turkey, the 55-year-old Limp Bizkit frontman laid the smackdown on a drone whose operator dared to fly it too close to the stage, likely seeking to record unauthorized, up-close footage of the boisterous bandleader.

11 Years Later, Elon Musk Is Floating the Flying Car Scam Again

“Maybe we’ll make a flying car, just for fun,” Elon Musk told the Independent back in 2014. The news outlet insisted at the time that Musk wasn’t joking and that he should be taken seriously, given his success with other companies like PayPal. At the time, the Tesla CEO was worth a measly $8.4 billion according to Forbes, a fraction of the $413 billion he currently holds on paper.
