Imagine someone steals your TV and sells it to a fence. Who is the criminal? The fence or the thief? Both.

If corporations don't pay their share of tax, then ordinary law-abiding citizens will just be charged more.

funny. when it comes to most people, the actual dollar amount never seems to matter. The fact that the top 10% of americans pay almost 70% of all the taxes collected by the feds never seems to matter.

So do you route your savings through Nevada to a bank account in the Virgin Islands that doesn't pay tax too? You do know that savings accounts pay taxes don't you?

Apple routes US profits through offices in US states with favorable tax regimes (e.g. Nevada). In Europe they route them through Ireland.

The A9 connects Munich to Ingolstadt, which are respectively the main hubs for BMW and Audi, so it makes sense to use that road for testing. Moreover, both cities are in the state of Bavaria, which makes it easier to get things going on the government level.

Only on a closed track, and remember that my assertion isn't that the gas savings aren't there, it's that even with self-driving cars 8 meters isn't safe once you start trying to move it to production, especially when you'd have cars of different makes, and maintenance levels in the 'platoons'. It'd also be limited(mostly) to the highway systems, which doesn't do much for most commutes.

15 meters is the max they measured, you really need to be within 9 meters to realize 10% fuel savings.

Isn't the point to test automatic cars under real conditions? Google did this years ago. With hand-picked, pre-mapped roads, but still under real conditions with real human-driven traffic. Remember the euro search engine? The euro book digitizing project? Every time Germany/EU tries to copy what Google does, only years later, by government decree and without Google, the result is the same. Burnt money. Next thing they will try to ban undeutsche autonomous cars from deutsche autobahn.

PROMETHEUS profited from the participation of Ernst Dickmanns, the 1980s pioneer of driverless cars, and his team at Bundeswehr Universität München, collaborating with Daimler-Benz. A first culmination point was achieved in 1994, when their twin robot vehicles VaMP and VITA-2 drove more than one thousand kilometers on a Paris multi-lane highway in standard heavy traffic at speeds up to 130 km/h. They demonstrated autonomous driving in free lanes, convoy driving, automatic tracking of other vehicles, and lane changes left and right with autonomous passing of other cars.

Well, it should be. York is in England, therefore New York should be in New England!

Research done has shown that for real mpg improvements you need to be closer than even a computer controlled car can compensate for, and you pay for it by needing to brake so often that you burn off any potential savings.

Around 30-35% of iPhones in China are jailbroken, if reports are to be believed. In any case, the jailbreaking tools get millions of downloads,
