Good morning Have you done your taxes yet? Or at least filed for an extension. If the former, I hope you’ve a nice big refund coming your way, and indeed, if you are so fortunate, why not, ummm, “invest” it in forming some rich memories you’ll treasure for years to come. This week I can […]
Good morning You may have seen the story of the woman killed by a self-driving car in Tempe, AZ on Sunday. Any unnecessary death is of course regrettable, but the biggest tragedy of this unfortunate incident may be that this accident slows down and delays the continued development and deployment of self-driving vehicle capabilities.
