Lexar Launches 1TB SD Card

At CES 2019, Lexar launched what appears to be the world's first 1TB SD Card. There are a few suspiciously cheap "1TB" SD Cards on Amazon and other e-tailers, but they're almost certainly fakes, and the 1TB SD Card that SanDisk announced in 2016 ended up being vaporware. Lexar notes that they launched a 1GB SD Card less than 15 years ago, and say this card should be capable of speeds of up to 95MB/s. According to an announcement they made in October last year, a 1TB microSD card is on the way too. 

It’s press conference day at CES 2019! Our live coverage kicks off on Monday, Jan. 7, at 7:30 a.m. PT from Las Vegas and will include heavy hitters like Panasonic, Samsung and Sony.

Uber partner reveals air taxi design at CES

Bell, one of Uber's flying taxi partners, revealed the design of its vertical takeoff and landing air taxi at CES, a five-person hybrid-electric powered vehicle with six tilting ducted fans. The company showed off the cabin of its air taxi at CES last year, and this year, it's debuting a scale model of the vehicle now dubbed the Bell Nexus.

Uber is working with a number of companies on its future air taxi service, and Bell was an early partner. In May, Uber showed off one of its air taxi prototypes at its Uber Elevate Summit, and it has said it aims to have aircrafts available for commercial operations by 2023. CNBC says Uber called Bell's design a "major step" in its effort to develop "an on-demand Uber Air network."

In line with Uber's plans, Bell's director of innovation, Scott Drennan, told The Verge that the company intends to have Nexus in operation by the "mid 2020s." "This is not a toy. This is an aircraft you would feel safe and comfortable bringing your family into," he said. 

Linux For Cars: Tesla Isn't The Only Automaker Running Linux Under the Hood

ZDNet reports that by 2020, "many, if not most, new cars will be running with Linux." While some companies, like Tesla, run their own homebrew Linux distros, most rely on Automotive Grade Linux (AGL). AGL is a collaborative cross-industry effort developing an open platform for connected cars with over 140 members... Its membership includes Audi, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Mercedes, Suzuki, and the world's biggest automobile company: Toyota. Why? "Automakers are becoming software companies, and just like in the tech industry, they are realizing that open source is the way forward," said Dan Cauchy, AGL's executive director, in a statement. Car companies know that while horsepower sells, customers also want smart infotainment systems, automated safe drive features, and, eventually, self-driving cars. Linux and open-source company can give them all of that. The AGL's goal is to develop an open-source, common platform for infotainment systems: The Unified Code Base (UCB). This is a Linux distribution and open-source software platform for car infotainment, telematics, and instrument cluster applications... The AGL's hope is that this will serve as a de facto industry standard. It's well on its way. Yesterday Hyundai announced that they were also joining both the AGL effort and the Linux Foundation.
