The car changed the design of our houses; the AV will change our houses and the way we live.

Phil Levin thinks it will change real estate completely; Christian Wolmar thinks it is ludicrous tech nerd fantasy.

Perhaps AVs should have their own lower speed limits until they figure this all out.

They want to build beacons into bikes. Will implants in pedestrians be next?

Judging from what I am reading all over the political map, I suspect that autonomous cars are the new Juiceroo.

A recent patent shows some of the thinking about fully autonomous cars, which might look nothing like cars do now.

It may be decades before AVs are good enough, so in the meantime everyone will have to keep out of their way.

Perhaps we are getting carried away with all this Smart City Talk; Amanda O’Rourke thinks so.

They are going to be a lot more than just cars that drive themselves.

In which we learn a new and useful word: techno-chauvinism.

We are wasting too much time, energy and money on autonomous vehicles. We know what to do and it's not AVs.

The 107 million tons of grain that went to U.S. ethanol distilleries in 2009 was enough to feed 330 million people for one year at average world consumption levels. More than a quarter of the total U.S. grain crop was turned into ethanol to fuel cars

After several decades of Lrapid rise in world grain yields, it is now becoming more difficult to raise land productivity fast enough to keep up with the demands of a growing, increasingly affluent, population.

A measure that would remove roughly $6 billion in annual ethanol subsidies just passed the U.S. Senate, signaling, among other things, a shift in public attitude towards the once-heralded alternative fuel. It
