Diesel As Dangerous As Asbestos, But Europe Looks The Other Way
In America, Volkswagen AG sold nearly 600,000 diesel cars with cheater software, and the company is facing the full brunt of the law. In Europe, the company sold some 8.5 million of cars that emit cancer-causing gases in much higher concentrations than already lax EU laws allow, and there is little more than finger-wagging.
In America, Volkswagen’s cheater-diesels could have caused some 100 earlier deaths, the New York Times figures. In diesel-saturated Europe, the emissions are estimated to cost more than 100,000 lives per year, but the matter is swept under the carpet.

Gas Might Soon be Cheaper Than Bottled Water in the U.K., What Does That Mean?
British media is buzzing about a recent report that petroleum (that's gas in Brit-speak) could soon be cheaper than bottled water as a result of plummeting fuel prices worldwide.

So to say gas is pretty cheap by U.K. standards would be an understatement.
Obama Boosts Self-Driving Cars With $4 Billion Investment
After talking in his last State of the Union address this week about investing in the country’s transportation system, Obama and his Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced a 10-year, $4 billion plan to fund pilot projects that would accelerate the adoption of self-driving autonomous vehicles.
Such programs, if funded in the fiscal year 2017 federal budget, will test connected vehicle systems in “designated corridors” around the country and work toward a multi-state regulatory framework that covers the industry.
