Jetsons cars finally take off
Life, James Hein, Published on 26/03/2025
» Some readers will remember the old cartoon The Jetsons. This promised a future with flying cards, robot assistants and helpful computer tools. We have or are getting very close to the robot assistants, and the latest artificial intelligence offerings seem to be the automated helpers. Missing to date are the flying cars. That may have changed with the new Jetson ONE, a single person flying car I saw a demonstration of in a recent video. It looked good, seemed to fly with good stability and landed without any issue. You can find the demos with a simple search. The craft has vertical take-off and landing capability. However, I shudder to think of what thousands of these might look like in the skies above a city without some serious improvements in driving and collision avoidance.

» Evoking the telluric forces that shape the shifts of the universe, Serpenti Infinito -- a new concept introduced by Bvlgari to reveal, once again, the transformative power of the icon -- explores the very nature of time, the evolution of precious elements and materials that grow in the depths of the Earth to generate beauty. With its innovative idea to capture eternal movement, Serpenti Infinito merges the perpetual cycle of nature's changes to that of the fascinating symbol or a sign endlessly reborn, renewed and reinvented in new forms, each embodying its ability to leave a lasting mark in the world of jewellery. Bvlgari launched the "Serpenti Infinito" exhibition in Shanghai, China, earlier this month. Running until the middle of February, it is the first in a series of travelling exhibitions alongside various initiatives to celebrate the brand's iconic Serpenti motif throughout the year.
