Honda’s New Motorcycle Uses Robotics to Stay Upright
Honda introduced two new technology-packed vehicles during CES: its Riding Assist motorcyle and NeuV concept smart car.
The NeuV, which stands for "New Electric Urban Vehicle," is a concept car Honda built based around the idea of bringing extra value to car owners when they aren't using their cars.
When not in use, the idea goes, the NeuV would serve as an "automated ride sharing vehicle," ferrying customers to their destinations while you sit at home, reaping the profits.
The Riding Assist motorcycle uses robotics tech originally designed for Honda's self-balancing personal mobility device, the UNI-CUB. The technology greatly reduces the chances of the bike tipping over when at rest, and it looks pretty sweet, too.

The Surprise Horror Twist to Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet

Honda’s New Payment System Is Like Apple Pay for Your Car
Honda and Visa have teamed to create an in-vehicle payment system and are putting the technology on display at CES.
The payment system is designed with the car in mind, and to demonstrate its new system, Honda is using fuel pumps from Gilbarco Veeder-Root and "smart parking meters from IPS Group, Inc."
It's similar in function to the payment system you may have on your smartphone in that it does away with the need to hand over cash or swipe a plastic card. If you pull up to a compatible device, the car will let you know you can pay for fuel or parking using the system.
John Moon, Developer Relations Lead at Honda Developer Studio, said the system and partnerships are "focused on simplicity and convenience" for drivers.

Did You Catch the Destiny Reference in Netflix’s Travelers?
New Netflix sci-fi series Travelers snuck in a fun nod to Bungie's Destiny in its first season, which is all the more clever considering the show's name.
The Canadian drama, which premiered on Showcase in October before Netflix debuted it internationally in late December, tosses in the reference in episode 8, "Donner." Reilly Dolman's Philip Pearson is making bets on a horse race, and the horse's names sound strikingly familiar.
Here's the moment, as GIFed by Redditor Paracelus:
