Over 3,400 people have died as a result of the ongoing Ebola outbreak, according to the World Health Organization. With the virus now spreading to more countries, including the US, many are searching for answers about how the disease works and just how deadly it is. RT’s Manila Chan offers a primer on the potentially deadly virus and what can be done to avoid it.
There are rules for the common people and rules for their “leaders,” and only in rare cases do the same rules cover both. . . . From description published with video

The roof is festooned with spinning LIDAR and cameras, feeding into the server farm in the trunk. With more processing power, I’m guessing that the expensive laser rangefinders will be less essential as the 2D video cameras alone can render a 3D map of the world, much like our brain. The next generation may wonder why we wasted 80% of the carrying capacity of our highways, why truckers fell asleep, or what all the fuss was about parallel parking.

Jan. 28, 2013 — Autonomous, driverless vehicles look set to hit the streets in the near future and become increasingly common, so UK researchers have investigated algorithms that could help developers include escape manoeuvres to allow such vehicles to quickly and safely switch lanes to avoid collisions with other road users.
Writing in the aptly namedInternational Journal of Vehicle Autonomous Systems, Matthew Best of the Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering at Loughborough University, in Leicestershire, discusses the optimisation of a vehicle’s standard brake, acceleration and steering control inputs in the context of avoiding collisions. . . .
