Traffic-Updating Clocks

The 'Beddi' Intelligent Alarm Clock Can Mimic a Sunrise and Order an Uber

— October 20, 2015 — Tech
This intelligent alarm clock is smarter than its user, providing real-time traffic updates, one-touch Uber requests and weather reports in the busy rush of a morning. The app-enabled alarm clock uses the fact that a majority of people sleep with their smartphones to its advantage by providing a dock-like device. Integrating the smart phone's technology, the clock is able to do things like learn the user's commute and inform them how much time is left to make it to work with the current traffic.

The clock also has convenient applications like white noise that helps users fall asleep easier as well as mood lighting that can even mimic a sunrise to wake users up naturally in the morning. Best of all, the intelligent alarm clock can connect to other smart home devices, like a coffee maker, automatically turning it on when users wake up.
