Even with Android 7.0 at low adoption rates — experts say that around two percent of Android users have adopted the new operating system — Android is still moving forward with newer and better plans. The following will tell you about three new Android updates you can expect to see some time in the near future.

Android 8.0 Name Trolling

With the rollout of Android 7.0 Nougat not far behind us, Google’s senior vice president of Android, Hiroshi Lockheimer, is already tweeting about the predecessor of Nougat. Of course, the tweet was in relation to all of Android’s food-themed operating systems: Marshmallow preceded Nougat. But are we in store for an Android Oreo? How about Android Pocky (a chocolate cookie candy)? Probably not, but Lockheimer’s tweets have gotten many excited about the name of the next version of the Android operating system.

Copy Less Feature

This is one of the ways that Google will likely expand on all of Android’s “smart” capabilities. The update of the system is expected to include a feature called Copy Less. Copy Less will give your Android the ability to detect the information that you’d want to copy from a source when sending a text or email. For example, the feature could detect that you’d want a street address to send your friend if you were talking about where to meet up for lunch. Then, you could just copy the address directly into the text.

Google Maps Update

It can be frustrating to have to copy and paste an address into Google Maps, and the rumored update for Android would mean that you wouldn’t have to do that anymore. Instead, the feature would let you simply tap on an address in a message for Google Maps to open and direct you to that location.

Finger Gestures

Android 8.0 reportedly will have finger swipe gestures that will let you simply swipe a letter on the phone to bring up a variety of different screens. For example, you’ll purportedly be able to swipe the letter “C” to bring up your contacts.

Paging George Jetson

While several companies (like Airbus) have passenger drones in development, the first commercial prototype debuted at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Made by the Chinese UAV company EHang, the electric-powered quadcopter EHang 184 is over four feet high, weighs a little less than 450 pounds, and will carry a single passenger at 60 mph for almost half an hour. After you climb in through its gullwing doors, all you have to do is input your destination and enjoy the ride.

Talk About Getting a Lift

At the 2016 CES, most industry watchers thought the EHang prototype was more of a marketing piece to attract attention to the company’s more conventional drones as commercial applications were seen to be years away. However, in the summer of 2017, the United Arab Emirates will begin offering an air taxi service via the 184 in Dubai.

The 184 being deployed will carry one average-sized adult with a small suitcase. It has a flight range of about 30 miles, automatically choosing the optimal route to its destination. There is no option for the passenger to take control; however, the 184 has redundant, failsafe software to avoid midair collisions and deal with mechanical failures. Plus, flights will be monitored by a Dubai Roads and Transportation Authority central control room.

Liability Concerns

Much like the ethical and liability concerns which are a part of the conversation about AVs, the same is true for UAVs. If an emergency landing is required — or a crash is imminent — is the primary concern of the UAV software to protect passengers or minimize loss of life on the ground?

For example, crash landing on a motorcycle would minimize UAV passenger injuries as opposed to hitting a semi-trailer truck. However, the crash would almost certainly kill the motorcycle’s rider as opposed to hitting a sturdier vehicle which provides more protection to its driver and any passengers. When liability is to be determined, is it the passenger, controller, software, or manufacturer who is ultimately responsible?

Once thought to be years away, passenger drones are arriving more quickly than expected. However, a drone with the ability to carry passengers doesn’t automatically resolve all the related safety, security, and legal issues. These issues will inevitably be ironed out as passenger drones become a ubiquitous presence in the sky.

The Future is Here — Sort of

The past few years have brought about 3D technology, motion controls, and virtual reality. Decades ago, when games were simply pixels across a static background, we might not have believed that these technologies were possible, especially in our lifetimes. But here we are, in the future and beyond: Motion controls have helped to make us a bigger part of the game; 3D technology has helped pull us “into” games more than we ever were before; and virtual reality seeks to not only bring us into the game, but to completely and utterly submerge us into the world, closing us off from everything around us in the process.

Video Games, Virtual Reality, and Beyond

The Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Playstation VR are the current contenders for not only our living rooms, but our very minds, as they fight to pull us into the worlds we want to escape to. Sony and Microsoft have also created beefed up versions of their latest consoles in an effort to keep up with everything and bring us smoother gaming in the process. Microsoft’s Project Scorpio seeks to be much more powerful than Playstation’s latest Playstation Pro — to not only outdo Sony, but to also bring gaming to higher heights (and presumably prepare for their own version of virtual reality).

A New Kind of Portable Device

Nintendo’s latest console is releasing this March and is going to bring about yet another innovation — as they’re so well known for at this point — which is the ability to bring your console anywhere. That’s right — they’re already the rulers of the handheld gaming market, but now they’re flipping that on its side. This March, gamers will be able to bring their consoles with them and have that living room experience anywhere they want without sacrificing power, data, or any part of the experience. Sony and other companies may be focused on bringing you into the game, but Nintendo has arguably bigger plans — they want to bring the game everywhere else.

This software has been used by various marketing firms for years. The Venetian Resort, Hotel, and Casino in Las Vegas utilized the technology to suggest attractions for visitors. Billboards and signage with the tech has popped up over the years, offering highly targeted messages to passersby.

Google Glass was very careful about steering clear of facial recognition software when it came to their product. Unfortunately, it wasn’t only up to them. Stephen Balaban created his own software to do just that, while Michael DiGiovanni developed a program that let users quietly take images — with a wink.

Mobile phones, at least for Samsung, include a facial recognition component. The Face Unlock feature gives users the option to use their face to unlock their phone. Google has been working on Silly-Face Unlock, where a user’s funny expression can unlock their phone, with a few “live” twists to thwart would-be snoopers. It’s just one in a long line of Google’s patents for unusual and interesting projects that might not go anywhere — but it does show how the tech could be used on mobile applications.

Moscow festivals goers could opt in to a new bit of facial recognition software from NTechLab (a Moscow-based company) by sending a selfie. Then, the people behind the festival used this software to pick out participants from the crowd and send them an image right to their phone.

Then, of course, there’s Uniqul. Sure, you’ve paid with PayPal and the Square app, but have you ever paid using facial recognition software? You may pay at any Uniqul terminal by walking up to it, selecting a card from your Cloud wallet, and pressing “Okay.” Talk about “hands-free.”

Face of the Future

It’s easy to feel as though facial recognition software is creepy or wrong, but at the same time, think of the massive amounts of images, video, and text that pass through social media networks. People are already sharing heaps of personal information without a second thought. Used correctly, this software could make it easy to pay for purchases, secure our phones, and catch the crooks.
