For the last two weeks I’ve blogged, in part, about driverless cars; first how much money they would save us and then about how the competition is revving up with Uber starting to work on its own car and Google, who as been working on the technology for a while and says it could be as close to two years to commercializing it, saying it was looking at car-sharing. Is Apple now driving into the melee as well?
In unrelated news, nearly 64 million cars were recalled last year.
And speaking of gas (well, cars anyway), CBC has a cool breakdown of what makes up the price of gas from oil field to pump.
I, personally, am a cyclist. Two years ago I took time off to cycle to crazy places like China and India. In China, I was amazed by the pace of construction. When I arrived in a city of any size, the outskirts were a maze of highrise construction with advertisements that made me think I was back in Vancouver -- billboards of fancy condominiums, with Starbucks and Louis Vuitton stores underneath – which was completely incongruous with the rest of the city. I wondered who was buying these condominiums. Apparently no one as highrise ghost towns now dot the country.
In other news, women should run the world. Or at least they should run the financial world .
