DT Daily: More BMW i-cars, drone air show, Asteroids returns

Today on DT Daily: BMW may go after Tesla. Or Chevy. Or both. Plus, an air show for drones, and the arcade classic Asteroids may be making a comeback.

BMW entered the ecar market last year with the i3 citycar and the i8 halo car, but that leaves open the “5” and “7” numerals, and word is, those future i-cars may be aimed at Tesla – and the Chevy VoltHere’s how they could do it.

Heads up drone pilots – better polish up those flying chops. There’s word that a drone event called “Air” is under consideration for sometime this year in Amsterdam, and if an Internet trailer is to be believed, it’ll be a mix of Tron, a rock concert and a small air show. So check it out.

Ah, Asteroids, the 1979 video game that swallowed a billion quarters. Guess what? Atari says the classic space shooter is going to be reborn as Asteroids: Outpost and will be coming to Steam and other platforms. Here’s what’s in store.

worklife episode 26 featured

On this episode of Work/Life, Ciara Pressler, author of Pregame and Game Plan, talks with Greg Nibler about how to remain focused during the constant distractions, chaos, and confusion of the current climate, whether it’s pandemic fatigue, protests, wildfires, the election, or any number of other things out of our control that can take our attention or bog us down.

“There’s a lot going on,” Pressler said, “so how do we focus when there’s so much going on?” The first step of gaining focus, she says, is to acknowledge what’s going on -- not just with the constant barrage of news, but with yourself. “You might not be feeling like working at 100%, and that’s ok!” she says.
