Unboxed August-September 2021 

Is autonomous driving or self-driving tech going to become a reality anytime soon? Or are we just believing the hype because, well, who doesn’t want to see self-driven cars become a reality? Pick up Unboxed’s current issue to find out. Another development in mobility—the Ford F-150 Lightning—is on the menu, along with Beta Technologies, one of the frontrunners in developing commercially viable electric aircrafts. In the review section, we bring to you the 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro and the Oneplus Nord CE. When it comes to consumer tech, we also have all the updates from Apple’s and Google’s respective developer conferences. 

Full Self-Driving
Our cover story answers all questions on when the world can expect to see fully self-driven vehicles on the roads, what that would even look like, and more. 

Is It a Drone? Is It a Plane?
The electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft or eVTOL is turning out to be the third revolution in aviation, and we’re here for it. Come and take a closer look at Beta Technologies’ version and what it offers.

Autonomous Waters
There’s a shiny new bot in town, and it’s called Saildrone. What do they do? Well, they basically sail around the world on their own before returning to the dock with data on the unexplored and mysterious depths of the ocean.

Epic vs. Apple
There are valuable insights to be learned from the Epic vs. Apple trial even though the war is over—for now. We bring to you what insiders are saying about the gaming ecosystem and the economics behind all of it.     

Femtech Innovations
The sub-sector of femtech is not defined by just period-tracking tech anymore. Some of these startups offer tech-based solutions for real-life issues faced by real women. Get to know them better in this issue.   

All this and a lot more!

Facebook's transition to Meta was met with doubts about the company's real motive behind the move. Regardless of Zuckerberg's motivation, the Metaverse, and Facebook's ambitious plans for it, has the world's attention. Unboxed breaks down what the Metaverse could mean and everything you need to know about it. Not just that, this issue of Unboxed brings you to several fascinating stories from the world of tech. We shed light on the Theranos trial, talk about the next EV revolution, and much more. Happy Reading!

This month, Unboxed brings you a story of a little known man at the heart of one of computing’s biggest technological breakthroughs of the past decade. We also dive deep and try and understand the implications of the arrival of the M1 not just on laptops but also on the whole Apple ecosystem. In the world of mobility, we go over all the technological innovations that make the Mercedes-EQS stand out as a luxury electric car. New developments in exoskeletons meanwhile have made the world stop and take notice. These aside, we bring you our reviews of exciting new pieces of consumer tech like the Asus ROG Phone 5 Ultimate, the OnePlus 9 and Watch and the Xbox Series X. 

The Apple M1 is the biggest technological leap in the world of personal computing for some time now. In fact, Apple’s move to switch from Intel chips to its own ARM architecture Silicon has caught all other players napping. But perhaps, the most important aspect of the development is the sheer performance and efficiency gains that they have achieved. In this issue, we dig deep to learn about the man behind the M1 and in the process try and understand Apple’s long-term play when it comes to Apple Silicon.

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the all-electric counterpart to the S-Class. It is safe to say that the electric equivalent to the ‘best car in the world’ doesn’t disappoint when it comes to all the tech on offer.

Iron Man is everyone’s favourite superhero. Well, it turns out, a suit that can give you superhuman powers also happens to be something researchers and engineers have worked long and hard to build. 

Internet access for everyone has been a pipe dream for everybody. In fact, it is something a growing number of people in the world consider a human right. While biggies like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos take on the challenge to make it possible using satellites, a smaller company has risen from the ashes to take them on.


Will Boston Dynamics' acquisition by Hyundai Motor Group make it shelve a research-driven approach? The only way to find out is by looking into its past and future. Tesla’s coming to India, but—hear us out—there is more than what meets the eye. We’re also taking you to Mars (and back) to look at all the tech that makes the Perseverance Rover tick. Find out about all this and more in Unboxed’s inaugural issue.

Anything even remotely related to robotics, and tech geeks think Boston Dynamics. The company has more than just a cult following, to say the least, and has managed to steer clear of the media and public gaze so far. But now, its products are making their way into the mainstream.     

Tesla has terrific brand value across the globe, but that’s not news. It is soon coming to India, and that’s not news either. What is worth looking into though is how well it may or may not do in a country where more than 75% of the cars sold cost $10,000 or less.  

Amazon-backed startup Zoox unveils its fully autonomous last mile vehicle, and we can tell that the future is for riders, not drivers. The company has set out to make a safe and simple way to move around cities. So what’s the ideal course of action for that? An electric, bidirectional, and symmetrical vehicle, of course.  

NASA is challenging researchers to grow vascularized heart, lung, kidney, and liver and muscle tissues in outer space. And in the true spirit of tech companies turning things of fiction—such as  making complex human organs in the cosmos—into reality, Techshot has started sending bioprinter prototypes to space to test and gather more data about this venture.   

It seems that we cannot keep up with our own demand for semiconductors—kind of a big problem that no one saw coming—and you can blame the COVID-19 pandemic for it. But how did we get here and what happens next?
