The Mini Augmented Vision AR glasses essentially take the HUD technology currently found in some cars and place it on your face, but with features far beyond what can be projected on your windshield. A collaboration involving BMW, Qualcomm and Osterhout Design Group (ODG), the eyewear is based on ODG's R-6 Smart Glasses and uses Qualcomm's Vuforia AR tech to bring BMW's vision of in-car displays to life.
The Safety Truck consists of a wireless camera attached to the front of the truck, which is connected to a video wall made out of four exterior monitors located on the back of the truck. The monitors give drivers behind the truck a view of what is going on ahead, even in the dark of night. This allows drivers to have a better view when deciding whether it is safe to overtake. Another advantage of the Safety Truck is that it may reduce the risk of accidents caused by sudden braking or animals crossing the road.

Wunder is a carpooling application to connect people who are going in the same direction as you to work and back home. It enables car owners to share the empty seats in their vehicles with people who live and work close to them by matching them based on their commute details. Wunder is a carpooling community and not a taxi company, which means the drivers are not sharing the empty seats in their cars to make a living. The benefits of Wunder in a glance: Saving money on gas. Meeting fun new people. Reducing the number of cars on the road.
On a snowy Paris evening in 2008, Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp had trouble hailing a cab. So they came up with a simple idea—tap a button, get a ride. What started as an app to request premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas is now changing the logistical fabric of cities around the world. Whether it’s a ride, a sandwich, or a package, we use technology to give people what they want, when they want it. For the women and men who drive with Uber, our app represents a flexible new way to earn money.

‘Rekola’ (could be translated as rebike) is a community bikesharing. It’s a very recent project which started in April 2014 and initiated by two young men from association Rekola.cz. They are using old bicycles which are repaired and painted in pink. It’s for everyone, without any bike stands, just find a bike in one of four Czech cities – Prague, Brno, Olomouc and Pardubice – and go! How does it work? Every rider has a mobile phone application where he or she can see the availability of pink bikes near their surroundings.
