>Analysts suggest that by 2020 the autonomous car technology market will be worth $25 billion. Companies may be ready to launch autonomous cars by 2020 but analysts believe that these cars will not make their way to the roads until 2025 or 2030 due to government regulatory hurdles.

>Individual countries and states in America have different laws for testing self-driving cars. In 2011, Nevada passed a law that allowed testing of autonomous vehicles there. Auto industry experts suggest that regulators are very likely to pass legislation for autonomous cars if these cars reduce pollution and congestion.

>The American transportation networking company operates in more than 50 countries and about 300 cities around the world but it is not making profits. Ordering more than 100,000 Mercedes S-Class sedans not only points at cutting driver costs but also highlights at the company's desire of offering ultra-premium ride to customers.
...

>Neither Uber nor Mercedes has commented on the 100,000 Mercedes S-Class car orders. However, it is not a secret that Uber is also pursuing its own self-driving technology. Uber has also announced the expansion of its Pittsburgh facility, which will be used for testing driverless cars.

>Uber's business model relies heavily on drivers using their own vehicles. Ordering 100,000 autonomous cars is definitely a change of business model, which may help the company in reducing the cost-per-mile and also address the assaults made by Uber drivers on passengers.

>It is worth noting that German carmaker BMW has also revealed its plans to start a ride hailing service, which will compete with the likes of Uber.

I thought Uber was about the drivers?!

>Bailey said his group watched a similar protest staged by a sister organization in St. Louis on Friday as well as other protests to see if there were lessons to be learned.

>“We want to learn what works as far as, especially, going inside and disrupting rallies,” he said.

>Using smaller groups of protesters to enter rallies and station themselves around the venue, as well as staggering the disruptions to maximize their duration, are some of the strategies that seem to work best, Bailey said.

>Before Friday’s rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago, organizers used Facebook and worked with student groups on campuses in the Chicago area to encourage them to attend. Inside the stadium, there might have been as many protesters as supporters and a long line of people were waiting to get in when the Trump campaign scrapped the event.

>Skirmishes broke out between the two camps, making for some tense minutes that received national television coverage and raised security concerns around the Trump campaign.

>One organizer, Nathaniel Lewis, a 25-year-old graduate student, said the cancellation was “the last thing we expected to happen. It shows the power of unity.”
...

>It happened just days before five nominating primaries on Tuesday in which Trump, 69, is trying to cement his lead over his remaining Republican rivals – U.S. Senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida and Ohio Governor John Kasich.

>Trump’s Republican and Democratic rivals accused him of sowing tension with divisive rhetoric. But on Sunday, he said: “I don’t accept responsibility. I do not condone violence in any shape.”

>He called the protesters professional “disrupters” sent to his events by Sanders, the U.S. senator from Vermont.

>“Be careful Bernie, or my supporters will go to yours!” Trump said on Twitter on Sunday.

>Trump’s campaign rallies have been boisterous, with the real estate mogul often pausing to scold protesters and ask security officers to take them away. At some events, protesters and journalists have been punched, tackled or hustled out. A 78-year-old man was charged with assault and communicating a threat after he was seen on video punching a young black protester at a North Carolina rally last week.
...

>The threat of violence affected Trump personally on Saturday. Secret Service officers rushed on stage to protect Trump when a man broke through a security barrier at a rally in Ohio. Trump said the man “was looking to do harm.”

>Some in the Trump camp believe the protesters’ actions in Chicago will benefit their candidate by galvanizing his supporters.

>“Some people were energized,” said Michael McKinney, 47, as he attended a Trump rally in Ohio with his family on Sunday.

>“I watched a lot of videos – all the protesters were throwing the first punch,” he added.

>Over the weekend, President Barack Obama made a call for civility in the political process and “resolving our differences without encouraging or resorting to violence.”

$115M are a very big dent in something that produces at most $10M per year.
Burn it to the ground.

Anyone else think this type of protest is counter intuitive?

Nice idea but seems quite confusing. You have to navigate through multiple links to see the tweets. And there's no links to actual tweets.

yeah from what I understand the site is new. Was hoping that there were other sites like this that have more data and links. Do you know of any or am I going to have to wait for this site to become more established?

If only they'd put a disclaimer in all of them telling the students how they get revised with different facts every 10 years.

Reeves’s theory was based in part on close examination of high-resolution laser scans of the tomb, which seemed to indicate traces of passageways and door openings that had been plastered and painted over during the preparation of Tut’s chamber.

Initially, Reeves’s paper was dismissed by many Egyptologists, but over the past half year, an ongoing examination of the tomb has supported a number of his key ideas. “I’ve not found anything that makes me doubt my initial conclusions,” Reeves said, when contacted by telephone earlier this week. “I guess we’re getting closer to a resolution now.” (Related: Will King Tut Fever Bring Visitors Back to Egypt?)

The radar results represent the biggest endorsement thus far. Last November, Eldamaty invited Reeves and Hirokatsu Watanabe, a Japanese radar specialist, to Luxor, where they spent two evenings conducting radar scans of the west and north walls of Tut’s burial chamber. An initial read of the scan was compelling: After those tests in November, Eldamaty announced that he was “90 percent positive” that another chamber lay behind the north wall of the tomb. But his comments were based entirely on the analysis of one man—Watanabe—and at that time the Japanese specialist had yet to conduct a detailed study of his data.

Thursday’s announcement, though, was based on Watanabe’s full report, which was delivered to the minister earlier this year. Eldamaty noted that the Japanese specialist believes there are objects made of metal and organic materials behind the north wall, and others composed of organic materials behind the west wall. “But I cannot say exactly what it is,” Eldamaty noted at the press conference.

“There’s Something in There”

These radar findings have also been reviewed by outside experts. Remy Hiramoto, a specialist in semiconductors and microelectronics who has served as a consultant to the UCLA Egyptian Coffins Project, examined the raw data, along with some of his colleagues, including Adrian Tang, a strategic researcher who works at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the THz systems group.

When contacted by telephone earlier this week, Hiramoto described the data set as “tight” —he felt that Watanabe’s equipment had performed well in the tomb. “It validates the initial hypothesis that there is a non-natural occurring chamber or cavity on the other side of that wall,” Hiramoto said. “Based on the signatures that are in the data, there’s a void, and there’s definitely something that’s within the void. There’s something in there.”

Hiramoto said that he and his colleagues could not tell what those objects are made of, or what they might be—whether they are naturally occurring features, or grave goods, or something else. But he noted that reading a radar is “like a Rorshach test,” and such work tends to be highly specialized.
Jason Herrmann, who specializes in archaeological geophysics at Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen in Germany, said that a radar expert can determine some details about unseen materials. “In my past experience I’ve been able to pick out metal versus stone pretty easily,” he said, noting that in the past he used radar to locate metal artifacts that were buried within sand dunes in the United Arab Emirates. He said that detecting a metal object in a stone-carved room should be easier than detecting it in sand.

“I’m not surprised that he’s able to pick out something that’s a weaker reflector than stone would be, or metal would be,” Herrmann said, referring to the possible presence of organic matter.

Later this month, a team of specialists from National Geographic will travel to Egypt at Eldamaty’s invitation, in order to carry out another series of radar tests, with the hope of confirming Watanabe’s results. At the press conference, Eldamaty mentioned that one of the main purposes of the new scan will be to determine the thickness of the walls, in order to decide the next step of the investigation. But he refused to say what that step might be. “We have to wait,” he said.
Signs Point to Queen Nefertiti?

Almost anything that comes to light behind the walls will force specialists to envision the age of Tut with new eyes. “It makes us re-look at everything,” said Kara Cooney, an Egyptologist at UCLA who has done extensive research on the 18th Dynasty, Tut’s period. She noted that one of the most explosive aspects of Reeves's theory is the idea that Nefertiti, who most people believe was Tut's stepmother, may be buried behind the north wall of the tomb.

As of yet there is no hard evidence for this theory, but a number of prominent Egyptologists have agreed with Reeves's suggestion that the famous funerary mask of Tutankhamun was originally fashioned for Nefertiti. And there are signs that many of Tut's grave goods were originally made for somebody else.

Cooney says that nowadays when she looks at statues of Tutankhamun, she's not sure if she's seeing his face or Nefertiti's—part of the disorientation that is happening as experts confront new possibilities regarding the 18th Dynasty. “You’re looking at the coffin, at the tomb, at the statues," she said. "Everything about this period has to be reevaluated.”
