At CES 2014, the cars drive you



  • Just one year after being announced, driverless cars from both Audi and Lexus are being demonstrated 
  • Rather than a fully enabled autonomous vehicle that can drive across town by itself, these demonstrations focused on next-generation features that would take over some driving tasks
  • The car will be able to drive itself down a lane, find a parking spot and be able to back into it all on its own
  • There is also a traffic assist feature in which the car can take over driving under 40 mph
  • Instead of just releasing one car that can drive itself, they plan to take it step by step, or feature by feature
  • Before we know it, the cars will be completely able to drive themselves

2013-2014

2013 was a good year and it included many ups and downs. I am happy with the few changes I made during the year, and hope to carry them over in to 2014. I am hoping on having a great year and spending all the time I can with my classmates and enjoy the time we have left until college. I will continue to do good things and really hope to expand my knowledge this year, being that I will soon be attending college. I hope to stay in touch with with all my friends when I go off to college, including the ones that I am not that close to. I am hoping this will be a great year and will do everything I can to make it so.

Another way to organize your computer is to make multiple folders and put things into them. By using websites like diigo, and by using things like RSS feeds, you are able to organize your computer in a quick and easy way. By doing this, you will make things easier for yourself and it will help you in the long run. You can organize email by separating your emails into different categories, such as social, work related, or personal. By using things like this we are able to help ourselves and make our own life so much easier.

I think using twitter for educational purposes is a good thing. You are able to hashtag which is a great way to be connected with others. It can be used on a regular basis because you can send out a new tweet every day based on whatever the topic for the day is. Twitter is a great way to stay connected as well as being very simple to use.
