The document outlines the U.S. plan to introduce vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology in cars. This will allow cars to communicate directly and help prevent accidents by warning of dangerous situations. Ethnographic research was conducted which found that the new technology could make commuting easier by allowing time to be used productively while driving and reducing distractions. Additional research articles discussed how the technology could smooth traffic flow and identify responsibilities in accidents. A proposal suggested using the interior of self-driving cars as customizable, mobile living spaces.
This project was conducted for the Nissan Research Center in Silicon Valley as an exploratory ethnographic study of the social life of the car. The goal was to generate a foundational understanding of how people in the U.S. understand and drive their cars and to provide clear design implications to Nissan Labs regarding future autonomous vehicles (all AV levels 1-4).
For their final project, second semester Northern Virginia Community College Composition students (ENG 112) work in groups to create presentations that introduce, analyze, and draw a conclusion about a significant American cultural artifact, (a trend, a celebrity, or anything that significantly impacts American culture). Students work together to build a persuasive argument using a combination of text, multimedia, and visual design. Students develop a claim about the negative or positive impact of the artifact on the demographic of American culture it affects. Alternatively, students may discuss what the artifact says about our culture.
These students are asked to explore a cultural artifact and determine its significance and/or role in our society. Students are encouraged to present their findings using any media they wish to implement.

In this paper, a project is described which is a 2-D
modelled version of a car that will learn how to drive itself. It
will have to figure everything out on its own. In addition, to
achieve that the simulator contains a car running
simultaneously &can be controlled by different control
algorithms - heuristic, reinforcement learning-based, etc. For
each dynamic input, the Reinforcement- Learning modifies
new patterns. Ultimately, Reinforcement Learning helps in
maximizing the reward from every state. In this first Part, we
will implement a Reinforcement-Learning model to build an
AI for Self Driving Car. Project will be focusing on the brain
of the car not any graphics. The car will detect obstacles and
take basic actions. To make autonomous car or self-driving
car a reality, some of the factors to be considered are human
safety and quality of life.
Autonomous Vehicles and the Impact on FleetSean M. Lyden
As a journalist, who has covered the fleet industry for over a decade, I spend a lot of time talking with smart people about the intersection of technology and transportation—specifically, the rise of vehicle automation and how that might impact our world in fleet.
And that’s what we focus on in this talk, as I share with you what I’ve learned from my conversations and research.

What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
