Wow, this is something that could get out of hand like a scary movie. What if someone evil controlled like 100 million beetles or somethin’? Scary…
DARPA’s goal is to create cyborg insects that can fly at least 100 metres from their controller and land within 5 metres of a target, then stay put until commanded to buzz off again. How the insects will be guided to a target is yet another unresolved problem. “There were a bunch of ideas,” says Charles Higgins at the University of Arizona, who was involved in DARPA’s original brainstorming session for the HI-MEMS project. One was to use radio control to guide the moth, though that would mean emitting radio signals, which could be detected by the enemy. A second was to use GPS signals to guide the insect to its goal, and a third was to point the moth in the right direction and send it off with a pre-programmed series of instructions - for example, fly straight for 50 metres, then circle.

Loading ...What a Waste! - Mazda destroys 4,703 shiny new cars worth $100 million!
Geez, this is funny decision to destroy the cars that were pretty much brand new. If their cars were good enough, they should have let it back on the market. (It was simply tilted for godsakes!) At least they could have donated to a 3rd world country at the worst. Mazda gets a big thumbs down for wasting earth’s resources, they put their company image before mother nature.
What do you think?
The freighter, the Cougar Ace, spent weeks bobbing on the high seas, listing at a severe 60-degree angle, before finally being righted. The mishap created a dilemma: What to do with the cars? They had remained safely strapped down throughout the ordeal — but no one knew for sure what damage, if any, might be caused by dangling cars at such a steep angle for so long. Might corrosive fluids seep into chambers where they don’t belong? Was the Cougar Ace now full of lemons?
