When I read the headline on Jalopnik I immediately thought of the recent runaway train movie “Unstoppable.” Did one of the systems fail; did the vehicle run a red light; did it hit another car? Nope. None of the above. What actually happened, apparently, is the “driver” got a ticket for talking on a cell […]

And you’re actually paying as much attention to the video screen on your car’s dashboard as anything. You’ve already bought the singer’s latest […]
Google’s mission is “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” Their next step into that realm is making auto driving cars. The Google Blog announced Google has “developed technology for cars that can drive themselves.” Yes, auto-driving cars, like from the movies and high tech TV shows. Google’s reasoning behind […]
