Move over Coolest Cooler: Krewser is an ice chest you can drive around

The Coolest Cooler might hold the title for the most-funded kickstarter project of all time, and probably isn’t going to lose its status anytime soon, but there’s a new cooler on the crowdfunding scene that might just give it a run for its money.

It’s called Krewser, and rather than sporting an integrated blender and Bluetooth speaker dock, this badboy happens to sit on top of a fully-functional electric tricycle. Why? Because lugging around a cooler full of beer and half-melted ice cubes is arguably one of most unenjoyable activities a person can engage in. Conversely though, riding around on your cooler like it’s a booze-laden bigwheel sounds like it’d instantaneously fill you with childlike joy. Hell, most of us already use coolers like seats anyway, so why not put some motorized wheels on one of ’em and transform it into a rideable refrigerator? This is pure brilliance.

In addition to a 500W brushless electric hub motor that can zip this thing around at 18 mph, the cooler on top is equipped with integrated Bluetooth speakers so you can blast your tunes as you zoom around the tailgate party. You’ll have to pay extra for that functionality though. Right now on Kickstarter, the most basic model will put you back about $650, but you’ll have to dish out an extra $400 for the tricked-out version with two 6.5-inch speakers built in.

If the creators can manage to raise the $90K they’re hoping for and the Kickstarter project ends up being a success, just think of what this contraption could do for the ice cream delivery business. With Krewser, aspiring ice cream truck drivers wouldn’t need to drop fat stacks on a creepy refrigerated van with a kooky paint job. Instead, they could just lay down about seven hundo on a Krewser trike, load up on ChocoTacos and Rocket Pops with all the money they saved, and then cruise to the nearest cul-de-sac to start raking in cash.

The project is still a long way from meeting its funding goal, but it’s still got well over a month to make it happen. To learn more, you can check out their Kickstarter page to get further details on specs, options, and backer rewards.

CES 2023: HD Hyundai’s Avikus is an A.I. for autonomous boat and marine navigation
Demonstration of NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

This content was produced in partnership with HD Hyundai.
Autonomous vehicle navigation technology is certainly nothing new and has been in the works for the better part of a decade at this point. But one of the most common forms we see and hear about is the type used to control steering in road-based vehicles. That's not the only place where technology can make a huge difference. Autonomous driving systems can offer incredible benefits to boats and marine vehicles, too, which is precisely why HD Hyundai has unveiled its Avikus AI technology -- for marine and watercraft vehicles.

More recently, HD Hyundai participated in the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to demo its NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system for recreational boats. The name mashes together the words "neuron" and "boat" and is quite fitting since the Avikus' A.I. navigation tech is a core component of the solution, it will handle self-recognition, real-time decisions, and controls when on the water. Of course, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes with HD Hyundai's autonomous navigation solution, which we'll dive into below -- HD Hyundai will also be introducing more about the tech at CES 2023.

There's a scene in Mission Impossible 3 that you might recall. In it, our hero Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) tackles the movie's villain, holds him at gunpoint, and forces him to read a bizarre series of sentences aloud.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."
