South Korea has one of the worst parking shortages in the world, and Kris Abel explains the strange, genuinely clever fix Hyundai came up with. A flat robot slides underneath a parked vehicle, lifts it off the ground, and carries it away to store it, no driver required and no wasted space for opening doors.
Kris also gets into a New Jersey restaurant opening next year built entirely around the horror game Five Nights at Freddy’s, complete with nightmarish animatronics and pizza served on the side. He wraps with PurPad, a new MacBook app that hijacks the trackpad’s haptics to make it vibrate like a purring cat.
If you want the weirdest, most interesting corners of tech news without digging for them yourself, this covers it.
