An easy way to park your car
Bosch is combining its connected and automated parking solutions to create an especially convenient full-service offering. With automated valet parking, the vehicle drives itself to its parking space inside the parking garage. You simply drop the vehicle at the appointed area near the garage entrance and start the parking process, using a device such as a smartphone. The vehicle then automatically searches for and enters a suitable parking space. When you return, you wait for the vehicle to drive itself back to the pickup area. https://www.bosch-mobility-solutions.com/en/highlights/connected-mobility/connected-and-automated-parking/

An AI system at the board table
The first live, public debate between an artificial intelligence system and two human debaters has happened. Using language and reasoning to debate is far more complicated than playing a game and the AI system matched the humans. Once AI is capable of persuasive arguments, it can be applied as a tool to aid human decision-making. One example of this might be boardroom decisions, where there are conflicting points of view. The AI system could, without emotion, listen to the conversation, take all of the evidence and arguments into account and challenge the reasoning of humans where necessary. The machine wouldn?t make the decision but would contribute to the discussion and act as another voice at the table. www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jun/18/artificial-

3D optical scanning to restore a masterpiece
Optical scanning has been applied to generate a complete 3D model of the famous unfinished Adoration of the Magi by Leonardo da Vinci (Uffizi Gallery, Florence). Application of 3D optical scanning has proved to be of unique value for documenting spatial deformation suffered by panel paintings and can represent a reference tool for conservation. www.researchgate.net/publication/247095407_Painting_Survey_by_3D_Optical_Scanning_-_The_Case_of_Adoration_of_the_Magi_by_Leonardo_Da_Vinci
