DID YOU KNOW:
...That although Carl Benz is credited with inventing the first gasoline engine powered vehicle, called the “Motorwagen”, it was Mrs. Benz that truly did the durability testing with it? It seems the courageous Mrs. Benz, without her husband's knowledge, drove her two sons some 60 miles on the three-wheeled Motorwagen entirely on her own without backup assistance of any kind. Until then, only short hops of a few blocks with mechanical backup were driven. Carl Benz might have been pretty smart, but it appears Bertha Benz ruled the nest when it came to independence and courage.
...That self-driving vehicles continue to be closer to reality everyday? Tech company Argo AI has made a breakthrough that they say is sure to rapidly accelerate the development of self-driving technology and expects it to be in use for commercial vehicles by 2022. For many drivers, the idea of hopping in their vehicle and telling it where to go while they read the newspaper or talk on the phone has been a longtime dream. It now appears that day is rapidly approaching.
...That Ferrari (the company that said it would never manufacture SUV’s or electric vehicles) is just about to introduce their new SUV and by 2024 expects to be selling an electric version of their sloppy sports cars. Guess it’s true what they say: “Never say Never”.
