Garmins gps and vitals—tracking smartwatch comes with added nauticalfunctions. man overboard on, unlocked. and then if you fall in, then it stops. now, this wont be as energy—efficient as hydroplaning, but its still powerful. in four seconds, we will be up well above 30 knots, so everyone needs to hold on. is everyone ready? yes. give her everything you got. just full throttle. laughter yep, im flooring it. its similar to candela in cost and top speeds, but can cruise slowly for double the t...

And we can have a conversation like this. its not like its slamming in the waves. which is very sociable, and it also feels very smooth, like an electric car. you want to try it? id love to. ok, lets do it. apparently this is easy, and when i raced a tesla a little while ago and beat the race driver that was way easier than i was expecting so lets do this. seat belt on, everybody! seat belts on. i took to this like a duck to water. well, after a few big unplanned splashes. ok, that feels faster ...

Although that is important to the story, and its not the aerodynamic design that makes it look like a future car from the 19505, although that is important too. no. look closer at that shiny finish, and youll see that its not paint. the entire thing is covered in solar panels — solar panels on the bonnet, solar panels on the roof, solar panels instead of a back window. yes, this is a solar—powered car, and they call it lightyear one. the first production model will be going on sale this summ...

Thats something we could add in. i can see the shadows of the tree tracing across the bench. 3d gaming engines like unity and unreal engine take care of the visuals, allowing objects and lighting to be easily manipulated and opening up a previously highly skilled profession to many more people. they have been around a while but its more that peoples computers can now handle what we are giving it. i mean, this is fun. its a disaster for me and for everyone that lives down that street, but its fun...

Under this 25—foot craft is a wing for hydroplaning and sensors that collect hundreds of data points every second. youll have to take the passenger seat first. 0k. and then well let you drive. we need to stabilise it, much like a fighterjet. then we feel how were oriented, where we are in the world, and then about 100 times per second, we are adjustable by twisting it and changing the angle to keep stable. this is where it gets exciting. lets go. wow! i can feel the sensation of the boat lifti...

Laughter yep, im flooring it. its similar to candela in cost and top speeds, but can cruise slowly for double the time. as it sails, the vessel collects 150 data points each second. everything is shared back to h0 to optimise performance, but with private info being beamed straight from my wrist, i was curious about security. technically, you can hack the pentagon, right? so, you can probably hack our boat, if youre that good, but we have the same kind of security layer as any car company. just ...

And when you get back, the car is full again. and, basically, that happens every day. in the summer in the netherlands, you wouldnt have to charge for months if you do just your commute. really! im from the uk — i know what youre talking about, yeah. yeah. and, basically, uk and the netherlands are the worst i%, right? it will get a lot better when you go to south europe. why did you set up a company here, then, and not in the sahara? because we love the sun because we see it so less. actually...

The rest still has to come from plugging it in. you can fast—charge it using a normal charger, but the solar panel will recharge your commute every day. so, basically, when you put it outside of your office space, then it recharges itself, and when you get back, the car is full again. and, basically, that happens every day. in the summer in the netherlands, you wouldnt have to charge for months if you do just your commute. really! im from the uk — i know what youre talking about, yeah. yeah....

Four times in a row. unsurprisingly, the design of lightyear one is somewhat more conventional. now, solar cells are getting better and better at turning sunlight into electricity, but lex�*s company is more focused on making what energy it can harvest go further. the result will be the most energy—efficient five—seater on the market when it launches, with a ruthlessly aerodynamic design weighing about half a tesla model s, and which trades the crazy acceleration of that beast for range an...
