Self Driving Cars:
Self driving cars are going to change the insurance industry drastically.
Who should be protected with self driving cars? The riders or the public around the vehicle? Would you buy a car that could kill you to save others?
Faraday Future claims it will be testing self driving cars in California.
Columbus, Ohio may be the first city to deploy self driving taxis in the US, having won $50 million for that in the Smart Cities grant program.
Drivers (or riders?) prefer self driving cars that will prioritize their lives over others in an accident. Duh. However, equally duh that the car will pick the least lives to be lost, not because its the most ethical stance, but because that will cost the manufacturer the least when settling with victims.
Is Intel partnering with BMW to produce self driving cars?

Robotics:
Boston Dynamics introduces Sauropodobot! Oh, well, no, more like Spotmini. Someone just needs to skin this sucker and give it a tail and it'll pass for a mini sauropod though.
Then there is Zume, the robo pizzeria. Robopocalypse, guys. Robopocalypse.

Here's a sneak peak of the first cyborg Olympics.
A 3d printed, Frozen inspired prosthetic arm brought a smile to a little girl.
Not all cyborgs are human. Some are locusts and they have a purpose.

Philosophy & Economics:
In Europe, there is a draft plan to declare robots to be 'electronic persons'
and require companies to pay for social security for each bot. This is
weird, but potentially clever way of doing a robot tax, but at the same
time paving the way for law for when and if computers become sentient.
Are we panicking over nothing when it comes to AI?
How humans & AI can work together rather than against each other.
