Electronica 2016: Day Three

10 November 2016 The last time we looked, it was Monday night, the Bavarian skies were threatening to cover Munich in a blanket of snow and our team had the nerves and excitement that comes with preparing and planning for the world’s leading electronic exhibition. Now, it’s Thursday evening and there’s only one day left of Electronica 2016! Where has the time gone?! It’s been a couple of days here in Munich and we have been right in the middle of the action. You may have seen that the German chipmaker Infineon has been showcasing their world-leading Sub1 Reloaded machine at the event. Fitted with a load of technology that is destined for use in autonomous vehicles at some point in the future, Infineon’s super-computer took under a second (0.637s to be exact) to solve a Rubik’s Cube – a brand new world record! There’ll be more about that incredible feat later. Away from record-breaking deeds, we’ve used our downtime wisely by seeing ‘working’ Lego cities, listening to tales of battling robots and striking poses with a legendary figure of American cinema. But it’s not all been fun and games as we’ve also taken a keen interest in the seminars and mini-exhibitions that have all been taking place during the event. The discussion on the future of autonomous vehicles was especially eye-opening.
