Cars installed with special hardware come in to the Safety Pilot Office at the University of Michigan Transportation Institute (UMTRI) to have data pulled from the special devices on November 5, 2013.
The hardware is installed in 3000 cars to monitor driving on Ann Arbor streets, with use of the data to make Ann Arbor the first American city with a shared fleet of connected and driverless vehicles by 2021.

The Sydney Daily Telegraph Newspaper ran a competition for 75 family passes to be won for a special trip on the Metro from Tallawong to Chatswood. I missed out but my sister won. So we went for a ride & I finally got to not only see one up close, but rode in it as well. (Yay!)

Flying Cars? The Future of Transportation
Driverless Cars: Coming Soon to a Road near You?
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm MDT on Monday, July 1, 2013
(Tickets Required) The growth of automobile transportation has seemingly occurred without much disruptive change to the system popularized by Henry Ford. While this mobility system provides considerable personal freedom and enables substantial economic activity, it has serious side effects in terms of safety, energy, the environment, land use, traffic congestion, time use, and equality of access. It is now possible to supply better mobility experiences at radically lower cost to consumers and society. This opportunity results from combining connected, coordinated, shared, driverless, and tailored vehicles to create a spontaneous, responsive, and sustainable mobility system. What must be done to realize what is within our grasp?
