Submission + - Google gets Driverless License for Nevada Roads (arstechnica.com)

Fluffeh writes: "On Monday, the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles approved Google’s license application to test autonomous vehicles on the state’s roads. The state had approved such laws back in February, and has now begun issuing licenses based on those regulations. The state previously outlined that companies that want to test such vehicles will need an insurance bond of $1 million and must provide detailed outlines of where they plan to test it and under what conditions. Further, the car must have two people in it at all times, with one behind the wheel who can take control of the vehicle if needed. The Autonomous Review Committee of the Nevada DMV is supervising the first licensing procedure and has now approved corresponding plates to go with it, complete with a red background and infinity symbol."

Comment Re:mobile internet, not much fun, even if improved (Score 1) 117

Other than your post, my Blackberry 8700 does not stack the words like that. Slashdot seems to be relatively easy to navigate on this 320x240 screen. That said, I rarely use the internet on the Blackberry. I've had other mobile devices that I rarely used the internet on too, both Palm and Windows Mobile. It's just not practical. I'll do a Google search every now and then, but for the most part, there isn't much on the internet that can't wait until I'm sitting in front of screen that is more comfortable to look at. Unless your company sells products or services specifically for mobile devices, designing your web site for mobile devices is probably a waste of time.
