if its not an LED and photo transistor what are the using in these?

I'm p.sure the teardown in that case revealed they were using a bunch of cheap, lovely sensors in the visible spectrum and ambient light with no active emitter

i suppose the closest thing to a tech bubble-y company that makes hand dryers is dyson, but they at least appear to be solvent.

I am Extremely Pumped that they installed air blades in our bathroom and removed the paper towels so now I am forced to touch the door handle while others take a poo poo, then rinse their hands in the sink without washing to get their germs really mobile in solution and then walk out without drying

Why India?

To begin with, Uber’s options were limited, said Yugal Joshi, vice -president at Texas-based consultancy Everest Group. It has been ousted from China and several southeast Asian nations. It is also facing serious challenges in Europe. India is now its biggest market outside the US.

“The ideal launch city for an urban air taxi is a dense metropolitan area where traffic congestion can mean that even distances of 10-15 kilometres can take an hour. Indian cities qualify quite well,” according to Kartik Hosanagar, professor of technology and digital business at University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.
