Need Gas? Gas stations along your route are now shown by Google Now
How many times has it occurred that you need gas, and when you try to search for a gas station on your phone, that gas station is impractically out of your way? Well, now apparently, Google Now displays gas stations that are actually relevant to your route.
Just make sure that when you check your phone, you have pulled over your car to the road side; or a passenger in your car can check it for you. Stay safe!

Car Body Panels Will Soon Have Sense of Touch and Will Let You Know When Someone Damages Your Car
German automotive part supplier Hella has developed an electronic sensor that will detect dents and scratches on car body panels. Onboard cameras and GPS can be linked to the sensor to record evidence, so you will have information available whenever someone damages your car even when you are away from the car. The intelligent panels, however, are not expected to be in use by car manufacturers until 2018.

Teleportation Machine That Works Through Destructive Scanning And 3D Printing
The Hasso Plattner Institute has created an actual teleportation machine. The concept of teleportation suggests the movement of an object from one location to another location, perhaps through the disassembly and reassembly of atoms or other similarly impossible means.
The project, called Scotty, is a proof-of-concept and artistic statement, rather than a flesh and blood teleporter. Scotty teleports items by scanning them layer by layer and then grinding them away. The scan is then sent securely to another 3D printer which recreates the object in plastic. There would be only one copy of the object as the data transferred between machines is quickly destroyed once the object is printed.
