Things I learned lately 22 Mar


  • VW and Ford are working jointly to develop self driving technology in a company called Argo.ai
  • Fedex has developed a delivery robot on wheels to deliver items from a variety of stores to your door (pictured). 
  • 20 million more people visit the Dubai Mall than visit New York City in a year.
  • Amazon could have been called 'relentless'. In fact, if you go to relentless.com, it directs you to amazon.com. Diapers.com also redirects to Amazon, as they bought the company that was originally at diapers.com
  • In Sweden, Allemansrätten gives a person the right to access, walk, cycle, ride, ski, and camp on any land, with the exception of private gardens, the immediate vicinity of a dwelling house (within 70m) and land under cultivation. There are similar rules in Finland, Norway, Iceland, Estonia, Belarus, Austria, Czech Republic and Switzerland.
  • Moons can have moons and they're called moonmoons.
  • At the bottom of ski jump hills are rows of fake green plants sticking out of the snow. They're there to help skiers with depth perception as they land their jumps.
