Apparently, Ford wants to make your life more convenient and scare the crap out of you at the same time with their package delivery robots that fold up inside autonomous vehicles. Digit is the new teal bot whose feet look like non-threatening versions of The Terminator’s Skynet T-800. The Detroit carmaker has partnered with Agility Robotics to develop this solution for “last mile delivery”, otherwise known as getting packages directly to your door. The impetus behind this research is the sheer volume of package deliveries, up substantially due to the increase of online sales. Digit can carry up to 40 pounds, walk stairs, negotiate obstacles, and probably frighten your otherwise courageous dog. What’s more, it can communicate with the transport vehicle and even the cloud for optimal delivery logistics to minimize complications. This just might be the future of package delivery, but it could very well be overkill just so you can get your Viagra refills.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
