BonzoBox Would You Trust a Self-Driving Car? When Henry Ford first put the Model T into production, do you think he ever envisioned not needing the driver? That is just what Google and a host of other technology companies have been working on for the better part of two decades. Even as little as ten years ago, to most people, the driverless car seemed like the stuff of science fiction movies. Now with the advancements in GPS, computer processors, dynamic vision, and artificial intelligence, the driverless car may be here sooner than you think. In fact, manufacturers such as Toyota, Audi, and Volkswagen have promised to debut self-driving cars in the near future. Mercedes-Benz had previously announced that this year’s C-Class would be equipped with an autonomous driving system. Sebastian Thrun, a German robotics developer and computer scientist who has been working with Google, highlighted how far technology has progressed in a TED Talk two years ago.

FlexLists The Basics of Boating Season We all know that summer is the start of boating season and that New Jersey has ample ways to enjoy being on the water. Plymouth Rock Assurance wants to make sure that you enjoy our state’s lakes, rivers, and coast line safely and legally. One of the first steps is to make sure you are properly trained and licensed to operate a powerboat or personal watercraft. The state of New Jersey requires that all individuals obtain a Boating Safety Certificate Education Card from a provider approved by the New Jersey State Police Marine Services Bureau. In addition to an approved Boating Safety Certificate, a license issued by the New Jersey MVC is required if you plan to operate a motorboat or personal watercraft (including jetski or waverunner) on fresh, non-tidal waters such as lakes, creeks or rivers . Your motorized boat, just like a car, is required by the state of New Jersey to be registered with the Motor Vehicle Commission.
