To get a better night’s sleep in 2020, Sleep Number debuted a new smart bed at CES this week that is sure to lull even insomniacs to sleep by controlling the bed’s temperature.

The Climate360 Smart Bed creates microclimates on each side of the bed and can be adjusted based on someone’s needs. If one person prefers to fall asleep cold while the other prefers to be warm and cozy, this bed can make each side its own temperature. The bed can provide up to 12 degrees of cooling and can warm up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

The bed also works with our natural sleep cycle by warming up the bed at first to help people fall asleep faster and then cooling it down throughout the night to keep people asleep. Sleep Number said in its press release that the bed was tested with more than 700 million sleep sessions.

“Sleep Number is making significant advancements to address the global sleep crisis that is affecting the health of millions. With more than 700 million sleep sessions of data and research, our digital health platform is linking quality sleep to individualized wellness, and our 360 smart beds are delivering proven higher quality sleep,” said Shelly Ibach, President and CEO of Sleep Number, in the press release.

The bed was able to capture the attention of CES, as the Climate360 Smart Bed received the Best of Innovation Award for the smart home category this year.

Sleep Number said that 81% of people have temperature issues when they sleep and that the new bed is up to 50% more breathable, so you won’t wake up sweaty in the middle of the night.

As with other 360 Smart Bed models, the Climate360 can also adjust its firmness, and also features head and foot adjustability, which has been proven to help those who snore.

Even though it made its debut this week, the Climate360 Smart Bed won’t be on the market until 2021. Sleep Number said that it would retail for $7,999.

Tesla, Warner Bros. dodge some claims in ‘Blade Runner 2049’ lawsuit, copyright battle continues

Tesla Cybercab at night

Tesla and Warner Bros. scored a partial legal victory as a federal judge dismissed several claims in a lawsuit filed by Alcon Entertainment, a production company behind the 2017 sci-fi movie Blade Runner 2049, Reuters reports.
The lawsuit accused the two companies of using imagery from the film to promote Tesla’s autonomous Cybercab vehicle at an event hosted by Tesla CEO Elon Musk at Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Studios in Hollywood in October of last year.
U.S. District Judge George Wu indicated he was inclined to dismiss Alcon’s allegations that Tesla and Warner Bros. violated trademark law, according to Reuters. Specifically, the judge said Musk only referenced the original Blade Runner movie at the event, and noted that Tesla and Alcon are not competitors.
"Tesla and Musk are looking to sell cars," Reuters quoted Wu as saying. "Plaintiff is plainly not in that line of business."
Wu also dismissed most of Alcon's claims against Warner Bros., the distributor of the Blade Runner franchise.
However, the judge allowed Alcon to continue its copyright infringement claims against Tesla for its alleged use of AI-generated images mimicking scenes from Blade Runner 2049 without permission.
Alcan says that just hours before the Cybercab event, it had turned down a request from Tesla and WBD to use “an icononic still image” from the movie.
In the lawsuit, Alcon explained its decision by saying that “any prudent brand considering any Tesla partnership has to take Musk’s massively amplified, highly politicized, capricious and arbitrary behavior, which sometimes veers into hate speech, into account.”
Alcon further said it did not want Blade Runner 2049 “to be affiliated with Musk, Tesla, or any Musk company, for all of these reasons.”
But according to Alcon, Tesla went ahead with feeding images from Blade Runner 2049 into an AI image generator to yield a still image that appeared on screen for 10 seconds during the Cybercab event. With the image featured in the background, Musk directly referenced Blade Runner.
Alcon also said that Musk’s reference to Blade Runner 2049 was not a coincidence as the movie features a “strikingly designed, artificially intelligent, fully autonomous car.”
