Podcast: Neuralink, Airspeeder: The Flying Car, Carbon Footprint & Computer Chips

In this episode, we talk about how Neuralink wants to put chips in people’s heads, how Alauda wants to bring about the age of flying electric vehicles with their Airspeeder, and a joint effort to consider the carbon footprint of high performance processors. As always, you can find these and other interesting & impactful engineering articles on Wevolver.com. 

EPISODE NOTES

(0:46) - Neuralink

Neuralink wants to plant chips in people using a robotic and reversible operation with the goal of eliminating neural related illnesses. 

(9:25) - Airspeeder: The Flying Car

Alauda is developing an electric flying race vehicle to display technical achievements and the viability of this form of transportation. 

(15:20)  - Carbon Footprint & Computer Chips

A joint effort between Harvard, Arizona State University, and Facebook revealed that manufacturing computer chips makes up a large portion of the total carbon footprint of electronic devices. With this in mind, the researchers hope to convince big technology companies to take this factor into account when designing devices that don’t even utilize the full performance that these chips offer.
