There’s a double dose of tech innovation on the horizon, and it mightn’t be what you expect.
MIT and Google are both developing AI models to predict storms and hurricanes up to six weeks in advance, giving meteorologists and people at risk insights they may be able to use to protect themselves before it’s too late.
While the tech is advanced for the weather, the technology is also advancing for other things, too. Even much older ideas. Consider the evolution of the retro, walkie-talkies, which are making a comeback thanks to a video feature and voice-changing options, while also skipping out on needing apps or WiFi.
Catch NSW Drive for October 21 with Jess McGuire on ABC to hear a quick bite of technology, starting from just after the hour and a half mark, or specifically from 1.31.26 if you need specifics.
