Robotic Valet Parking

Robot parking Test at Gatwick

Gatwick is to trial Robot Valet parking this summer. A electric powered robot will collect your car from the car park entrance, it will then using military grade Satellite navigation park it in a much smaller space. This means that more cars can be put in the the same car park footprint, Also this will provide  more security as there will not be enough room between cars for a person to open the doors.

A quick word about the new BT Superfast Fiber Plus

A quick word about the new BT Super Fast Fibre Plus
The web site boasts 

We'll get you back online quickly if your broadband stops working. We’ll send you a Mini Hub straightaway at no extra cost if you ever have to report a broadband fault – it uses a mobile signal to connect your devices until we’ve fixed the fault

Now my thoughts on this are

1. This is supposing that all your devices are wireless.
2.  This would mean changing the settings in all your connected devices, and then back again when the broadband is restored.
3. What if you have poor or no 4G reception.
4. Why would you not just tether your mobile.
5. The package also gives you double data on your mobile so why would you need to wait for a hub just tether everything.

So this looks to me like a gimmick to  extract more rental out of the customer who is not technically minded.
