4. Pascal Bornet’s tweet on using sky tractors to plant trees

Pascal Bornet, an official member of the Forbes Technology Council, shared a video from the World Economic Forum (WEF) on planting of trees using drones. The video shows how pods containing seeds and other nutrients are planted by drones 150 times faster than traditional methods.

The drones use automation and digital intelligence to plant the seeds with accuracy and speed. Data on the location and species of seeds is fed into the drone, which plants them where needed. The use of drones can help in re-greening the earth and restoring eco-systems.

5. Terence Leung’s tweet on intelligent speed assistance technology

Terence Leung, senior director at Blue Yonder, a digital supply chain platform provider, shared a video from the WEF on intelligent speed assistance device, which can reduce road fatalities by 30% and carbon emissions by 8%.

By 2022, all new cars in Europe are expected to be fitted with the new device, which uses GPS and sign recognition cameras to automatically limit speed. Drivers will still be able to override the device by using accelerator. The device is one of the safety measures planned to be implemented apart from automated emergency braking and better visibility for drivers. The safety measures still need approval from the European parliament.
