Classic pickup trucks have been wiped out by Tesla, according to Dave Lee. The Cybertruck design is so much superior to any other pickup truck design that it is almost unavoidable that the traditional pickup truck will die a slow death. Let us take a closer look at what he has to say about it.

Since Tesla’s Cybertruck is their most innovative vehicle design yet, any other firm will have a tough time emulating its design. In a recent interview, Tesla’s principal designer discussed the Cybertruck: “It is a return to the fundamentals. Is a pickup vehicle what you are looking for? Do you have any ideas? What would you look for if you arrived from Mars?”

A video about Walt Disney Imagineering has revealed a new shot of the lightsaber.

They may be tiny weapons, but Brigham Young University’s holography research group has figured out how to create lightsabers—green for Yoda and red for Darth Vader, naturally—with actual luminous beams rising from them.

Inspired by the displays of science fiction, the researchers have also engineered battles between equally small versions of the Starship Enterprise and a Klingon Battle Cruiser that incorporate photon torpedoes launching and striking the enemy vessel that you can see with the naked eye.

Researchers from Utah have figured out how to use lasers to create sci-fi-style holograms inspired by phasers from ‘Star Trek’ and lightsabers from ‘Star Wars.’

HENDERSON, Nev.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc.

Circa 2018

If you’ve been a grunt, then you probably have a love-hate relationship with body armor. You love having it in a firefight — it can save your life by stopping or slowing bullets and fragments — but you hate how heavy it is — it’s often around 25 pounds for the armor and outer tactical vest (more if you add the plate inserts to stop up to 7.62mm rounds). It’s bulky — and you really can’t move as well in it. In fact, in one firefight, a medic removed his body armor to reach wounded allies, earning a Distinguished Service Cross.
