Tesla's largest US Supercharger station has a plush, private customer lounge in the middle of a folksy California town — take a look inside KETTLEMAN CITY, California — Situated amid large swaths of farmland and a smattering of gas stations, fast-food restaurants, and motels, Tesla's largest-ever Supercharger station sits tucked away from the main street that runs underneath the 5 Freeway, on a corner lot that used to be a Burger King drive-thru.

There's a gas station and a Carl's Jr. across the street to the east, an auto-repair shop to the south, and two budget hotels to the west.

Further south across State Route 41, there's a recently built strip mall, curiously named "Bravo Farms," whose architecture was designed to resemble old Western saloons of generations past.

The Tesla Supercharger station, unlike the Burger King that occupied the land before it, makes use of nearly all of the available space. An expanse of covered solar parking shelters the 40 individual Superchargers on the lot. A private lounge invites Tesla travelers to rest in plush armchairs, plug in their mobile devices, and enjoy soothing music.

There are vending machines, restrooms, and Tesla staff on hand inside the lounge. A separate display section shows off Tesla Energy products: the solar panels and Powerwall battery packs it sells to residential and commercial customers.

Two large, flat-screen displays are mounted inside the lounge. One shows a real-time world map with the locations of every Supercharger station on the planet. Numbers at the bottom of the screen show three separate tallies: kilowatt-hours delivered, miles enabled, and gallons of gasoline saved. The numbers tick up as you watch.

This is now Tesla's domain. Its presence in an otherwise folksy enclave — one of at least six on the route here from Los Angeles — is a clear sign that Tesla is gearing up to own the electric-car future.

"We have entered an era when robotics will become increasingly visible and essential in our everyday lives and have the ability to unlock human potential."

3E - Empower

"Empower" represents Honda's concept that robotics and people can work together while leveraging each other's strengths. Honda demonstrated this idea through the 3E-D18, an autonomous off-road workhorse device utilizing AI to support people in a broad range of work activities. Designed by Honda R&D Americas, 3E-D18 is outfitted with an electric-powered drivetrain and can accommodate a multitude of attachments, bringing efficiencies and increasing safety for public, commercial, and consumer enterprises, including search and rescue, fire fighting, construction, and agriculture. The 3E-D18 concept has the potential to minimize human exposure to dangerous environments and can perform time-consuming chores or mundane tasks.

Based on Honda's ATV chassis, which has a 30-year history of accessing hard-to-reach locations, 3E-D18 is equipped with four-wheel drive and aggressive, virtually indestructible airless tires, enabling it to climb almost any obstacle. The 3E-D18 concept features GPS and sensor-based autonomy, which are capable of guiding the unit in almost any environment. Its small size makes it super maneuverable and perfect for a variety of environments.

Honda also displayed 3E-B18, a robotics device designed for casual use in indoor or outdoor spaces, empowering people to be mobile in a variety of situations. With additional attachments, the 3E-B18 platform can be used to support people with their daily activities such as a baggage cart or a stroller. Its compact size and ability to turn in a small radius enable it to navigate in tight spaces, while the height-adjustable seating features a function to maintain a level seat even when it is driven uphill or downhill. 3E-B18's narrow footprint allows it to maneuver as flexibly as a pedestrian so that it can be used in many locations.

For 3E-B18, Honda envisions a base platform powered by Honda's Mobile Power Pack that can be outfitted with AI sensors for autonomous operation, and that connects with several attachments to create a range of use scenarios.

3E - Experience

"Experience" represents the idea that people and robotic devices grow together by interacting with each other, becoming even more useful for people and society as a whole. This concept is demonstrated in 3E-C18, a small-sized electric robotics device created to serve as a mobile platform supporting the activities of entrepreneurs, artists, and others who are seeking new ways to create value for society. The AI-enabled platform can learn by observing how people act and operate autonomously. The cart-like platform offers carrying spaces and a canopy combined with a compact-sized vehicle body base, which has a driving function.

In addition to being able to accommodate various add-ons for both personal and commercial use, the base platform of the 3E-C18 concept can also be equipped with a Mobile Power Pack, which will free the robot from any restrictions related to charging time.

3E - Empathy

"Empathy" represents the concept that robotics devices have compassion toward and can achieve a mutual empathy with people while providing support for human activities. To realize this concept, Honda has applied AI to its 3E-A18 device, which enables the robot to communicate and cooperate with people.

Developed to seamlessly support people in their everyday lives, 3E-A18 can serve as a guide at places such as airports or shopping malls where many people gather. The 3E-A18 concept is capable of offering information and care by understanding the individual needs of people and analyzing their surroundings and expressions.

Recognizing many people experience the need for comfort when placed in stressful situations, as exemplified by the wide-spread use of service animals, 3E-A18 is designed with a soft exterior skin that invites people to touch or hug the robot. 3E-A18 can communicate a range of facial expressions that are simple and easy-to-understand, facilitating friendly and comfortable communication between people and robots.

Mobile Power Pack World

The Mobile Power Pack World showcases Honda's holistic view of how a renewable energy source can be applied to power small-sized electric mobility products, digital devices, and home appliances. As generating renewable energy does not necessarily coincide with energy demand--such as wind power generation at night when demand is low--Honda envisions harnessing surplus energy and storing it in efficient, portable batteries. The Honda Mobile Power Pack is a portable, swappable, rechargeable battery that can be utilized as a power source for a variety of situations. Each Honda Mobile Power Pack has an output of 1kWh or more, and multiple Power Packs can be used simultaneously, making it possible to use the Power Pack as a power source for electric motorcycles and small-sized electric mobility products. Utilizing portable, exchangeable batteries eliminates re-charge times currently associated with electric vehicles.

When combined with the Honda Mobile Power Pack Charge & Supply -- Portable Concept charger/discharger, the Mobile Power Pack can be utilized as a power source for recreational activities or during an emergency. The charger/discharger not only charges the Mobile Power Pack, but also utilizes it as a power source for connected electrical devices. Equipped with wheels, the portable Mobile Power Pack Charge & Supply Portable Concept is easy to carry around, and is waterproof and dustproof enabling it to be used in outdoor locations for recreational activities. Honda also exhibited the Mobile Power Pack Charge & Supply -- Expandable Concept, which can be used as a power source inside the home accommodating multiple electronic devices. The Mobile Power Pack communicates with other devices and can collect data regarding how it is being used and then send the data to other devices while getting recharged.

Further showcasing convenient energy solutions is the Honda Mobile Power Pack Exchanger Concept, which shows how a charging station unit can charge multiple units of the Honda Mobile Power Pack at once and supply replacement mobile power packs. Honda envisions the Exchangers being used at street-corner locations to supply replacement battery packs for people who use small-sized electric mobility products. In addition, the Exchanger can contribute to the stabilization of electricity supply by supplying electricity to the grid from the Power Packs within the station during peak electricity demand.

To show how the Mobile Power Pack connects to everyday personal mobility, Honda exhibited the PCX Electric, an all-electric scooter outfitted with Honda's unique high-output electric motor and a removable Honda Mobile Power Pack, and the Honda Mobile Power Pack 4W-Vehicle Concept, a compact and agile EV based on the Honda Pioneer 500 side-by-side. Equipped with slots for two Honda Mobile Power Packs on each side, this Zero-Emission vehicle enables more fun and less impact to the environment on various occasions, including off-road situations.

CES attendees can experience demonstrations of Honda's 3E Robotics Concept and Mobile Power Pack World at the Honda booth (LVCC, North Hall -- 7923) from January 9-12, 2018. Videos, images and more details can be found at http://world.honda.com/CES/2018/.

What Apple needs to do to become the world's first trillion-dollar company It hasn't exactly been a happy new year for Apple. The tech giant rang in 2018 apologising to customers for deliberately slowing the performance of older iPhone models in a bid to spur new purchases. And this week, Apple investors Jana Partners and CalSTRS ­– which together own about $2bn of the company’s stock – ramped up pressure on the iPhone maker to address the effects of its products on children.

Apple has a lot riding on 2018 – the year it is expected to become the world’s first trillion-dollar company. But to hit this mega milestone, Apple has to jump through some tricky hoops.

Sales of Apple’s star product, the iPhone X, were stellar in multiple markets around the world, including the UK, for the three months to November. 

*Read more*: Apple shares climb to an all-time high

However, analysts have lowered iPhone X shipment projections for the first quarter of this year because of slowing demand at the end of the holiday season. Shipments are predicted to drop to 25m units in the first quarter of this year, down from 30m in the fourth quarter of 2017. Sinolink Securities analyst Zhang Bin said the high price may weaken demand in the first quarter, and therein lies Apple’s biggest obstacle. The tech goliath needs to push tech boundaries that justify product pricetags in the way that other tech titans sure are.

Amazon, which is also tipped to become a trillion-dollar company this year, wowed nerds at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week with digital glasses compatible with its voice assistant Alexa. Another one that got people talking was a partnership with Kohler to make Alexa fill up bathtubs and flush toilets. All these innovations are expected to come at a price that does not break the bank.

Apple, which does not attend the tech show, is not known for launching products as quickly or as inexpensively as its peers. This, analysts say, could hit its fanfare.

No doubt Apple has come a long way from laptops and an over reliance on smartphones. Its superlative services business, which include iTunes, Apple Music, Apple Pay and more, is a fast-growing arm that can easily keep customers hooked and investors happy.

But with its market cap currently just shy of $900bn, investors will be closely watching Apple’s growth strategy when it unveils its first quarter 2018 earnings on 1 February. No pressure, Tim Cook. Reported by City A.M. 6 hours ago.
