When your pup’s gotta go, it’s
gotta go. But what if you’re
not around? The myQ Pet
Portal is a mini door that
connects to a sensor on your
pet’s collar. You can either
set the elevator-door-like
portal to automatically slide
open whenever your pet gets
near, or you can choose to get
a notification when your pet
approaches and open the
door yourself. The door closes
when the animal is safely
through the opening, and it
works both ways—so Fido can
always get back inside. It’s a
good door for a good dog.FLYING WATER BUS
Tired of the school bus? Swap streets for waves in the Regent Seaglider, a boat-plane combo that
skims the water and then flies right above the surface. The eight-propeller electric vehicle will
serve small communities that dot the shoreline, shuttling people down rivers, across bays, and
along beaches. Carrying 12 passengers, the Seaglider can cruise above the surface up to 180
miles an hour—over twice as fast as cars on the highway—before settling back into the waves to
let riders step off. Just don’t forget to thank the bus driver... er, captain.HIGH-TECH
