Bosch, the multinational engineering and electronics company, recently revealed it will debut a self-driving shuttle concept in Las Vegas’ Consumer Electronics Show this upcoming January.

The shuttle will be an electric four-seater, a “unique package of hardware, software, and mobility services for shuttle mobility of the future.”

Bosch announced last year that it was collaborating with the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, Daimler, to build a fleet of driverless taxis. Trail runs are scheduled in the urban roadways of San José, California, for 2019.

The shuttle concept is part of the company’s efforts to be a leading player in the much-anticipated self-driving automobile revolution. The company, comprised of over 440 subsidiary companies, gets around 60% of its revenue from making automotive components at the moment.

According to Bosch, the shuttle will have a “light, airy, minimalistic design” that will travel in almost complete silence. The vehicle will be able to monitor its power levels with 360-degree sensors and an intelligent battery system to find where to charge when the battery gets low. Other sensors will tell if the automobile needs to be cleaned or have its system updated, as well as locate and drive the shuttle to a place where this can be done.

Other factors that may influence the battery charge will also be noticed by the shuttle, such as those found in the surrounding environment. These include the weather and traffic.

The advanced system will even be able to notice if a passenger left some possession behind and alert them on their smartphones after the voyage is over and the destination is reached.

As the company produces so many different products, it is eager to show off that the radar, video, sensor, and braking control systems are all produced by Bosch. These are all important systems for the anticipated driverless technology of the future.

While we’re so used to seeing the bad (and sometimes funny) versions of “Expectation vs Reality,” there are some pleasant ones that make us feel all warm and happy on the inside. The people mentioned below just hit the jackpot, thanks to some great luck. On that note of always hoping for the very best, check out some of the best things people experienced/got!

Sure, it’s advertised as “loads of pepperoni,” but how much can be considered “loads”? Well, in this case, it’s actually a bucket load. The company wasn’t kidding and just wanted people to experience the genuine meaning of the word “Lots.”

A dream come true for Pepperoni enthusiasts, this pizza’s crust is hidden beneath unlimited bits of tangy meat and a generous spreading of cheese. This must be what pizza tastes like in heaven (if you’re not a vegetarian).

It’s quite baffling how people try their hand at baking for the first time and make something so stunning. Layered cakes do take a fair bit of practice to correct – to keep them from smashing into each other or becoming arbitrary.

This person aced the first baking challenge of his life by perfectly making and decorating a cake from the primary info. Flower decoration on the top really adds that extra something, don’t you think?

Cupcakes are small pieces of delight that are highly customizable. If you want an entire galaxy on them, you can do that (like the one we saw before), and if you want the cutest little animals with a delicate pink theme, that can be done too!

This man’s wife perfectly recreated the most adorable box of cupcakes with a bunny and sheep theme, and we can’t stop admiring them. Not only do they have a perfect appearance, but we’re sure they must taste delectable too.

Faceswapping is one of the latest trends of the generation. People love to exchange faces with their friends, pets, and also inanimate objects to see what it would appear like. The results make us roll over on the floor laughing at times, and, other times, we’re slightly creeped out.

This time, we’re awed by how perfect this one seems. While the man’s new face is a mess, his old one seems to be the perfect fit for the Wendy’s cup. Consider changing your model, Wendy’s!

Let’s just accept that Kinder Buenos may be one of the best chocolates humans have tasted to date. Exaggeration? Not according to us. The vanilla cream mixed with the smooth chocolate and crunchy wafer is a recipe that you can’t possibly get over.

What would you do to taste an ice-cream Bueno with all the components of the real bar but more sprinkles and layers? This looks way too scrumptious even through the screen – we can only imagine how great it tastes.

In another episode of how far pet parents will go to show appreciation for their beloved friends, these people decided to order a blanket with their furry buddies’ faces on it from what looked like a sketchy website at first.

We assume that they were wise enough not to get their hopes up because it probably would’ve blown up on their face. However, the blanket was quite amazing; the details were all there, and the dogs seemed to love it as well.

Artists deserve way more recognition – specifically these ones that possess such capabilities of bringing ideas to life. We have to say, the drawing is rather unimpressive, and anyone with that artistic itch might have never been able to understand what the client was going for.

The finished product is so stunning that we think this could be used in any mythological film. The indentation on the blue background really ties the whole thing together.

If you want some custom work done, always remember to keep some time in hand before making your plans. Otherwise, chances are that you’ll be left with some mediocre outcome. However, with this one, the results were super satisfying.

The person sent in inspiration for their cupcakes to an independent baker not hoping for much as it was on short notice. Thankfully, the baker was talented enough not to only pull it off but do it with much flair. The galaxy cream cheese frosting looks out of the world!

Thanks to various funky filters, you can try out a bunch of colors on your hair without having to bleach it and change the whole shade. When you find a look that you like a lot, maybe you can consider trying it in real life.

When this girl found her inner mermaid hair aesthetic, she had to try it on her actual hair. Fortunately, all those bleach fail videos didn’t apply to her, and the end results were significantly better than what the filter showed.

Otters are some of the cutest animals out there, and we don’t make the rules. It’s quite difficult to capture their cuteness within paintings and artworks, let alone cakes and food. This baker may have some supernatural baking talent to be able to perfectly capture the adorableness of these otters.

All the details are there, giving us an idea of how meticulous she must have been. If we received these on our birthday, we’d squeal for weeks. The tiny fishes deserve a special mention too.

Cameras don’t really do justice to the beauty of the night sky. In the Icehouse reservoir in Pollock Pines, this person had headed out to do some astrophotography in the darks of the night but forgot to bring a tracker.

However, he decided to take some experimental shots and left the camera shutter running for an hour while it faced the sky. What he absolutely wasn’t expecting was a river of twinkling stars that look like something taken out of a Vincent Van Gogh painting.

Kids have such vivid imaginations that, if we were actually able to capture every single one perfectly, the world would be much more abstract. On birthdays, there’s an additional pressure on the family members to present something they will love.

This kid loves dinosaurs (Hello, Ross Geller?) and the shades of the rainbow. The drawing looks very vague, if we’re being honest. It takes someone with a genuine gift to be able to create something out of it – something that incredible!

Photo restoration is tricky and time-consuming. Without the right equipment, it’s almost impossible to get it right. Not to mention how delicately you have to handle it to prevent any further damage. First-timers may end up with facepalm-worthy fails, but not this person.

It seems like they have a natural talent in photo restoration, and we’re here for it. Honestly, the photo looks like it might have been taken a few years ago at most.

It goes without saying that a good cake can make a birthday so much better. Oftentimes, people will derive inspiration from their favorite movies, books, shows, and even video games.

This man had his wife ask him what sort of cake he wanted for this birthday, and he expressed how he always wanted to try Peach’s Thank You cake from the ending scene of Super Mario 64. That cake looks like it could have been taken directly out of the original scene, with even the cake toppers being spot on.

Cameras have received many revamps throughout the years. Alongside that, there are multiple applications that you can install on your phone that will give your photo any kind of effect you were looking for – b&w, retro, aesthetic, anything! In that crowd, it’s hard to find people who would try anything different.

Who knew that sunglasses could give such a nice warm effect? This looks worthy to be in a photo exhibition and pass off as an intentional shot. Just look at how the orange clouds blend into the blue horizon!

This entire article may turn into an appreciation post for bakers, and honestly, that’d be great! They deserve every bit of it, especially when they produce work like this. Taking a photo off a cutesy Pinterest board and handing it to your local baker is easy enough, but for the one recreating it, it’s a ton of pressure.

Rarely does their actual version turn out better than the original. According to us, the unicorn from the local baker is much cuter.

As easy as the instructions or the description on the box may seem like, it’s not always the same case when actually assembling furniture. We think, as an adult, this picture is one of the best things we can encounter.

All the bits and pieces have been separated according to the order they will be used in, saving you hours of work and stress. Plus, you can be sure that it won’t fall into pieces after a few days because you put it together wrong.

Before we start, the movie Bridesmaids is super iconic, and we’ve seen brides and their bridesmaid attempt to recreate the iconic photos from the film. They usually come out super cute; it’s a happy occasion with people being all lovey-dovey on camera.

What’s not to like? This one bride wanted the groomsmen to pose just like that one Bridesmaids poster, and the photo is way too wholesome. Sorry, bridesmaids, this one goes to the boys!

Who came up with the idea of a Jack-o-lantern pizza? It’s ingenious! Using the pepperoni to give shape the facial features is honestly just the best. The company advertises its Jack-o-lantern pizzas in the first images.

However, this one employee decided to take it up a notch, and the results didn’t disappoint. It looks much scarier, with the crinkly mouth being the highlight. Here’s one Instagram-able pizza! They should actually switch out the old image for this one.

Amateur cooks who have attempted it will recognize how it’s super easy to end up with a dish that looks nothing like that of the one attached to the recipe you had followed. This is more so with cakes as the texture of the frosting, density of the cakes, and many more play important roles in determining the final look.

This person managed to create something that’s very nicely similar to what they had hoped it would be like. The tiny towels on their version might have made it better.

It can be extremely terrifying going into a new school, both for the child and the parents. The child fears not being able to make friends and being able to blend in, the parents worry about the same alongside the detrimental effects it can have on their child’s mind.

These parents were worrying whether their physically disadvantaged would be able to fit into her new school. Good for them, the kids there were raised right by their parents! Their friendship is honestly too precious to describe in words.

Pets are such a huge part of our lives. They stay beside us and watch us go through the ups and downs in life. It’s assumed that losing a pet might be one of the hardest experiences of human life. People will do a lot to keep their pets fondly in their memory.

When an artist received commissioned work to draw someone’s beloved, belated feline Persephone, he exceeded any and every expectation the owner had. The colors, the background, the details: Perfect. Who’s cutting onions?

We assume that an adult asked a child to draw something they’d get tattooed on their body. That’s a risky game right there, as tattoos are permanent, and removal can be excruciatingly painful.

The child’s drawing isn’t giving a lot to work with, so we are left wondering what was going in the tattoo artist’s mind when he conjured this design. It’s 200% better than anything we could come up with – some serious mind reading skills on play here.

Go to Google and search up “Unicorn cake,” – trust us, you won’t regret it. There is an abundance of designs and types of cakes to check into, all of them with their own charm. Trying to recreate them on your own is something completely different, though.

It’s satisfactory if you come out with something that’s even slightly similar, but this person really hit the nail on the head. We’ll just say this: We prefer their one to the inspo version. The eyes look better, so does the buttercream mane.

Brown leather boots are a super versatile pair of shoes that go with potentially everything. A classic modern look? Check. With a cute shirt and skirt? Check. Going for the good ol’ Texas rugged look? Check. This man decided to be a thoughtful significant other and shine his girlfriend’s boots, and the results are beautiful.

The boots have been restored to their former glory, and the girl will be able to get much more use out of them now. The entire color might have changed!

When you’ve been zooming through the week without having a moment to sit down and relax, or just chilling in your pajamas for weeks, it’s easy to lose track of time – sometimes days. There’s no shame in admitting that we often find ourselves asking this question: “What day is it?”

This parent got a “day” lock for their teens who probably laughed about it at first but, with time, finally understood how useful it might be. What if you mixed up a Monday with a Sunday? Yikes!

Moms naturally have this talent for being incredible in what they do, and that’s quite frankly the truth. When your child wants an Elsa cake, you will make it, no matter how complex the design looks. This mom made the complicated project look like a piece of cake (pun intended).

The mom’s one has the perfect Elsa doll with the doe eyes and blonde braid. The ombre effect for the frosting was such a clever idea. Where can we get one?

How many times has it happened that you ordered something off the internet or physically bought something, and the product inside turned out better than what was advertised on the box? It’s tough to name many instances because, usually, it’s the other way around. However, this mushroom night light is just the cutest.

The one on the box is nice too, but these ones have all the pink mushrooms fluffed together, and we can imagine them neatly lit up beside your bed – perfect cottagecore aesthetics!

In some cases, you just have to be resourceful to make the best out of a bad situation. Who knows, you may end up with something that surpasses your actual expectations. What should you do when you run out of filament between making the perfect golden lion?

Well, how about putting some accessories on the big cat? The hat gives it something we didn’t know it needed, but we’re glad it’s there. The Royals would surely enjoy this!

Can anything beat a McDonald’s soft serve? Maybe not. The soft, creamy ice cream piped perfectly on top of a crunchy cone is the perfect snack or dessert. While most stores will stop after four to five swirls, this employee might have really liked the lady and decided to serve her an extra helping.

It’s a tower of vanilla ice-cream, and it doesn’t even look like it’s going to topple over. What kind of sorcery is this? It’s almost too pretty to eat.

Bakers all around have seriously been stepping up their game. Just because the baked goods aren’t from a big store doesn’t mean it won’t taste amazing. Cupcake cakes have been gaining popularity in recent years. It’s convenient and cute without many utensils involved.

When these parents ordered a rainbow cupcake cake from their local grocery store with that beautiful inspiration, they definitely weren’t expecting what they got. The frosting looks super glossy, and we want a bite!

We’re all familiar with Christmas sugar cookies that fill the house with a warm fragrance when being baked. Decorating them is the best part, but it can be difficult to get some good ones where the design is truly accurate.

One person ordered cookies from a cookie maker and sent her some inspiration of what seems to be characters from a kid’s show. The cookies that they received were every bit as perfect as they could possibly imagine, with the colors and shapes being spot on.

Books and characters have long been inspiration for clothes, furniture, and in the past decade, delicious cakes. So, why not choose something you love dearly? The novel Pride and Prejudice is pure perfection from start to finish, and so are the cakes inspired from the design.

This husband assured that his wife loved the cake ardently, and we can see why! The design of the pages looks so realistic that you’d think this was an actual book that had been sitting on someone’s shelf for years.

There’s an old saying that’s always stayed relevant and will continue being that way: one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Some people find a great use for things another would generally throw out. If you’re a fan of the crispy, fatty bacon, you’ll absolutely love this.

This person went to Five Guys one night, and the employees asked if he wanted some extra bacon that the restaurant would otherwise throw out. Who can ever say no to free bacon? That’s a generous amount too!

We talked about moms being incredible bakers, so now it’s time to show some appreciation for the dads. Crinkle cookies are actually extremely difficult to perfect.

You need to keep them in the oven for a fixed amount of time and the dough needs to have a certain consistency – otherwise, you won’t get the signature crackle. This dad’s cookies look like they can be part of an editorial spread on baking. The magazine’s one looks bland next to them!

You can never have enough pizza, and let’s acknowledge that that’s a universal fact. When this kid’s parents told him that they could only afford one pizza for his birthday, he was probably disappointed. However, it’s safe to say that his sadness may have fizzled after looking at the pizza that arrived.

That’s one monster-sized ball of dough with big servings of sauce and cheese. The store literally uses a dinosaur for its logo, so we were kind of hoping for a dino-sized serving but not this big!

Painting Easter eggs is super enjoyable, and it can be a relaxing experience. You get to unleash your creativity and have fun with colors. When this person messed up one of the Easter eggs, she might have been slightly disheartened.

Thus, she decided to dye the Easter eggs. Nobody was ready for the results. It looks like an entire galaxy has been fitted onto the white canvas of the egg. The paint on the crack adds one more spectacular dimension to it.

Another addition to the list of fun cakes – here we have a Rubik’s cube cake. If we think about it from a decoration point of view, this must have been quite a task to get done. You have to separate every single square with black frosting and then fill in the individual boxes with colorful frosting – quite easy to mess up.

So, this person definitely deserves a round of applause for successfully pulling this off. We wonder if the layers inside are multi-colored as well.

Cats are picky fellas. You buy them a cat bed worth hundreds of dollars, and they’d rather play around with the box it arrived in. Nevertheless, pet owners’ relentless attempts to get their felines within a bed will never go unnoticed (maybe by their cats, they will).

For this one, the description is pretty straight forward, but it’s the photo on the ad that’s the star. Imagine how the owner freaked out when he saw his cat sitting in the exact same position as the one in the advertisement.

Sometimes, packaging and advertising will be exaggerated to draw the customers in, and honestly, everyone’s aware of this. No, your burger patty probably won’t have the perfect grill marks on them. Or, the string from your cheese won’t be a mile long.

However, isn’t it great to get what you pay for? How about heart-shaped potatoes? The pack shows a potato in the shape of the famous heart, maybe trying to promote “hearty, healthy” produce. However, the unique shape of the potato is quite fascinating.

Ah, kids and their drawings of cake! Sometimes, we think shops have bakers specifically hired to decode these drawings and make something mind-boggling and yummy out of them. For instance, this panda cake is endearing beyond words.

The kid was super thorough about what he wanted. The head of the panda needed to be Rice Krispie treats, and there should be edible panda photos on the body, and the baker abided with every single request. All in all, this cake is a huge success.

Decorating a new home always comes with plenty of stress. You often have to ask yourself those menacing questions like, do all the furniture colors match? Can I really afford this? How do I hide that ugly present from mom? And lastly, did I buy enough of everything?

In this happy couple’s case, the accident of buying one plank of wood too many turned out to be the best DIY project result we’ve seen in a while. Ladies and gentlemen, nevermind going to the cinema to wind down, your bathtub just took front row!

False advertising is a well-known marketing ploy used by advertisers to get us to buy whatever they’re selling. From photoshopped images to misleading information, often the expectation of a product exceeds the reality. However, there are also cases where a product will exceed your wildest dreams.

Take this yummy Starbucks cherry pie frappuccino snapped by a tourist in Japan. As you can see here, the product perfectly matches the advert and the proof is in the pudding!

Clif bars have always been a great solution for an energy boost. People trust in the bar’s nutrition for a post-exercise replenishing or after studying, but few believe that the packaging is actually based on truth. We certainly didn’t.

Until one lucky hiker scored the perfect shot and changed our minds forever. The utopian imagery you see on your bar is in fact a real place!

Traveling for hours on the open road is known to be a long, drawn-out, and unappealing experience. Oftentimes, we end up taking a nap or scrolling endlessly on our phones, provided we’re not the driver.

But for one Canadian passenger, the long-haul driving was worth it just to snap this picture. The outside scenery perfectly matches the van’s design to the point that we had to do a double-take. Snapping goals!

To us, face-swapping can be seen as an art form if done right and this next one is truly a masterpiece. The irony of this face swaps’ artistry is that it was in fact taken in a museum, full of art!

This guy perfectly swapped faces with an Egyptian sculpture and the results for his new-found face are so realistic he could almost pass as an Egyptian. Well, that or Darth Vader maybe? You guys decide!

You know that horrible experience when you spill hot coffee on your brand new clothes? Oftentimes, we even get physically hurt from the burn of the heat, but we remain more concerned that our brand new purchase is ruined. However, for one lucky coffee-spiller, something good came out of it.

Instead of tossing her stained white vans, she chose to paint over the mess and ended up with cooler kicks than before. Guys, take note here, the next time you stain your clothes, just get creative!

Barbie and Ken dolls were our best friends growing up for most of us. Everything from playing with their perfect hair locks to changing their clothes always provided us with tons of enjoyment. However, in more recent years, dolls have received a lot of heat for sending an unrealistic message.

While we do agree that dolls’ faces and physiques are often unattainable, the same cannot be said for their outfits. Take this hilarious incident when an uncle accidentally matched outfits with his niece’s birthday present.

The only thing worse than spilling hot coffee on yourself is getting bird droppings on you. They say it’s a sign of luck but no one feels lucky at the sight of bird poop. Except for this one fellow who experienced a whole different story. Instead of getting “the luck” on him, he found it on a leaf and what he saw shocked us all.

The pigeon had left a perfect design of itself! A true masterpiece and what we can only describe as a true sign of luck.

There’s a common misconception that items become useless once people throw them away. It is often not the case because creative minds can recycle the goods and make it even more useful than before.

Take this instance, where one man’s trash literally became another man’s treasure, as the lucky-finder of this blue cabinet turned it into a dreamy clothing closet. Just like cats have nine lives, so too does your furniture if you have the vision for it.

They say there is nothing luckier or prettier than a rainbows’ glow. From the beauty of its contrasting colors to the pot of gold you receive at the end of it. So, when we actually get the chance to see a vivid one, we count our lucky stars.

And this traveler can do exactly that because he was lucky enough to be staring out of the plane window at the precise time to snap this shot of a 360-degree rainbow. How heavenly is this?

The creamy, cold filling in an ice cream cookie has got to be the star of the show. However, many times, you end up with an underwhelming amount in the middle, and while that might not completely ruin the taste, it doesn’t capture the essence of a true ice cream cookie.

Quick question: where is this store located that filled up the cookies like this? Because we will book a ticket to that place right away. Imagine biting into that thing!

As adults, it gets easier to draw stuff and know how you want the cake to turn out instead of having to figure it out from a child’s drawing. Baking and cooking can be a real bonding activity for pairs, be it couples or family members.

This couple decided to make a cake together for the very first time, and it came out that great. We really hope they’re planning on opening a joint bakery because that’s some solid work. This cake gives us major Disney vibes!

Your child wants to be a doctor when they grow up? Get them a cake with an apron, stethoscopes, and the typical clipboard to really cheer them on. They want to be a painter? How about asking the baker to paint on something from his favorite artist?

When your child loves a fire truck, you must definitely get him a similar cake for his birthday. What we really like about this one is the use of wafers to make the attached stairs – clever and crispy!

Kids are inquisitive little humans, and directing their enthusiasm toward the right direction from a young age could result in a healthy, ambitious mindset in the future. This child had urged her parents to help her find the planets through her toy telescope.

The parent was obviously skeptical. Toy telescopes are made more for the feel rather than the visual. Can you believe the parent actually managed to spot Jupiter and all four of its moons? Did they maybe bring their daughter an actual working telescope by mistake?
