SELF-DRIVEN CARS MEET ON THE HIGH WAY ALMOST CRASHING

Self-driven Auto maker Delphi says that its experimental self-driving automotive was on a street of Silicon Valley earlier in the week and was cut off by the automotive from Google while it was trying to negotiate into the same lane as the google self-driven car. The car was quickly able to identify that it was moving into the same lane with another car and it responded appropriately.

Delphi disclosed the incident to a Reuter’s newsman earlier in the week and confirmed it to CNNMoney Fri. spokesperson Kristen Kinley insists it wasn't really a mischance however was instead an example concerning however self-driving cars effectively avoid accidents.

"Our automotive saw the Google automotive get in identical lane as our automotive was progressing to get in, however upon detection that the lane was not open it determined to terminate the move and wait till it had been clear once more," she said.

Google is yet to comment on the incident .

FG ASK GOVERNORS TO LOOK INWARD FOR REVENUE TO SETTLE DEBTS

At the climax of the meeting on Tuesday, the Governors were solely able to reach associate degree agreement that the Federal government is to pay debts it owed the states over jobs they did.

Zamfara State Governor and chairman of the Governors Forum, Abdullaziz Yari, briefed reporters at the end of the meeting, aforesaid that rather than a bailout, the state governments were told to seek inward and generate required funds to clear their debts.

The State Governors conjointly requested that the Nigerian Liquefied Gas Company’s tax ought to be paid into the Federation Account and be shared.

They conjointly asked the central to make sure that monies accruing from the Federation Account ought to be shared, as stipulated by the constitution.

It is the meeting the president has had with the Governors to seek out an answer to the monetary crisis that has created no fewer than twenty two of the states owes salaries to their employees to the tune of one hundred billion naira (about $5,000,000).

The Nigerian Governors, whose heap has continually been to come back to Abuja to share within the Federation Account, through their chairman aforesaid they were happy to fulfill with the President however that it had been on the far side a bailout as reportable.

After a gathering of the All Progressives Congress Governors Forum last week, the chairman of the forum, Governor Rochas Okorocha, immersed a bailout for states that are unable to pay workers’ salaries.

He aforesaid that this state of affairs was a product of poor management of the economy.

‘’On the economy of the state, we have a tendency to be involved and troubled by the dwindling revenue of the states that nowadays has affected negatively, the lives of our folks.

“The matter has become thus serious that imperative action should be taken for a bailout for the states, as things don't seem to be convalescing either.

“We have Sat all the way down to review steps that ought to be taken and that we align for total overhaul of the system to dam all the leakages in our nation’s economy,” Governor Okorcha aforesaid.

The Governors conjointly expressed considerations over the choice to dismantle military check points, stressing that it had been not the proper time for such call.

NEW TECH CLOTHS THAT IS SOO COOL YOU WON’T NEED AC

Researchers from the University of California at San Diego are developing a smart fabric capable of helping the wearer maintain a comfortable body temperature. The aim: reducing the need for building-level air conditioning.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, five percent of all the electricity produced in the United States is used by air conditioners. This isn't just reflected in billions of dollars, but also in hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide released into the air each year. The U.S. isn't alone. In India for example, the total power consumption for air-conditioning is projected to climb by an order of magnitude over the coming decade.

Although developing more power-efficient air conditioners and building greener homes and offices can help cut energy costs and reduce pollution, finding ways to live and work without air conditioners might prove to have an even larger impact in the long run.

To achieve this ambitious goal, the Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) has been financing several initiatives including one called ATTACH (Adaptive Textiles Technology with Active Cooling and Heating).

The goal of this three-year project, led by UC San Diego nanoengineering professor Joseph Wang, is to create personal, wearable heating and cooling technology for office occupants in order to reduce the energy consumption of a building's HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) system. Unlike other advanced fabric technologies, which are designed to work outdoors (in either very cold climates or a very warm ones), ATTACH is designed for indoor use at temperatures ranging from 19 °C to 26 °C. Garments using the technology can help reduce and in some cases even eliminate the need for HVAC.
