I love being outside, but direct sunlight can be a kind of annoying. Fortunately, Los-Angeles-based robotics startup ShadeCraft has come up with a seriously cool solution: — the Sunflower.
The Sunflower is an autonomous patio umbrella/shade that has a ridiculous amount of tech packed into it, all designed to keep you comfortable no matter the outdoor conditions. ShadeCraft says the Sunflower won’t be ready until 2018, but here’s a list of its promised smarts:
ShadeCraft Sunflower solar umbrella features
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
Solar-powered
Built-in security camera
Integrated lighting
Built-in sensors

While we’ve seen many cool one-off products and ideas expand into bigger trends —Amazon Echo, anyone? — we haven’t seen anything quite like Sunflower before. It certainly seems like a clever way to manage the sun, but we’ll just have to see it for ourselves. We’re tracking down Sunflower here at
CES for hands-on photos and video, so check back soon.
