FedEx Road Rage Victim Not ‘High Engagement’ Enough for Safety Procedure Response
A cyclist who was the victim of a terrifying road rage ordeal by a FedEx driver has accused the company of dismissing his concerns because his blog was not deemed high profile enough, after an internal email conversation discussing the incident - which happened days after a FedEx driver was filmed driving apparently asleep at the wheel - was accidentally forwarded to him by a FedEx Managing Director.
James Avery, who cycles regularly in London, says he was too scared to get back on his bike for five months after a driver in a FedEx branded van drove aggressively at him near Kings Cross station last August, an act he described as “terrorism”.

The Golden Years: Why We’ll All Love Self-Driving Cars When We’re Older
At the Consumer Electronics Show this year, most of the talk from automakers was about autonomous cars.
That’s not surprising, given the CES audience and the rapid development of self-driving technology. Depending on the automaker, the promises of completely self-driving cars ranged from imminent to cautious, but all agreed that completely or mostly autonomous cars would hit our roadways in the next 10 years.
Why Self-Driving Cars *Can’t Even* With Construction Zones
If you’re a human driver, road construction probably annoys you: one more thing clogging traffic on your way home. If you’re a self-driving car, though, it can be devastating.
