Uber Announces Intro Of Driverless Transportation


Didn’t we see the prototype of a brainless cabbie in the 1976 Robert De Niro movie, Taxi Driver? Uber recently announced it’s experimenting with a Ford Fusion Hybrid driverless car in Pittsburgh.

The ride-sharing, cabbie-shunning company that would have driven Travis Bickle even more insane is encouraged. Its prototype car is operating successfully on mean city streets. Of course, unlike Bickle’s troubled brain, the driverless car is equipped with sensors, radar, laser scanners and high-resolution cameras.

However, don’t expect to ride-share a Uber car very soon. The company says it’s still experimenting. The driverless car operating in current testing actually has an alert human guy by the wheel ready to take over just in case. Stay tuned for further developments.

North Korea Claim: Safer Than A Walk In London PDF Print E-mail


According to Reuters, North Korean tourist ads in Russia encourage visits to their wonderfully safe country. They extol the peaceful friendliness of the Communist nation’s people and cities, and compare them to the English capital city. 

Maybe the U.S. should respond: While most American cities are peaceful and safe, there are terrible dangers from evil street criminals. So Russian visitors should not visit crime-ridden Salt Lake City, poverty-stricken Beverly Hills nor hateful-faced Pennsylvania Dutch slums.

And, of course, the dying American college student tourist who was shipped home recently after two years of gentle North Korean prison hospitality, died of natural causes.

Former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani, 73, fell the other day and was hauled off to the hospital. Fortunately, his injuries were relatively light and he should be walking again soon.
