Air Mail In France, air mail is literally that—mail that travels through the air, this time by drone. The country has given permission to its postal service to start delivering a select mail route via drone. The drone can reportedly carry about 6.6 pounds, and can travel for 30 miles. Currently the drone travels one time a week, on a route in the south of France, in Provence. Mail is being sent only to a group of technology startups, and not homes, and is being dropped off at a "delivery terminal," according to a release from the DPDgroup, which is a subsidiary of the country's postal service. Drones are quickly being used to replace traditional delivery services, with more disruption expected in the new year.

Wireless Car Charging Wireless charging has yet to catch on heavily with devices. But already one company is exploring how to wirelessly charge an electric car. WiTricity is working with GM to see if the cars could be charged by driving them on to a giant charging pad in a consumer's garage. Currently, drivers have to head to electric charging stations to top up their electric vehicles. A charging station in the home is likely to boost adoption. (Via Engadget)
