Driverless Bus Takes On Real Streets, Real Traffic in Greece

Description

TRIKALA, Greece — There will be no arguing with the driver on this bus: the rides are free and there's no driver anyway. Trikala, a rural town in northern Greece, has been chosen to test a driverless bus in real traffic conditions for the first time, part of a European project to revolutionize mass transport and wean its cities off oil dependency over the next 30 years. Trials of the French-built CityMobil2 buses started last week and will last through late February. Over the past year, CityMobil2 has been tried out near its base in La Rochelle in western France, on a campus in Lausanne, Switzerland, and near Helsinki, Finland, all in controlled conditions that produced no accidents.

  • Real Life Spiderman Flies Over Streets of Bogota

    People's spidey-senses are tingling all across the Colombian capital of Bogota when they see the high-flying acrobatics of real-life Spiderman, Freddy Duque. The Colombian street artist swings 'spidey-style' from highway bridges to show off his superhero moves and make some quick cash in the process. His daring pirouettes and upside-down antics cause gasps from motorists as he swings around from a white cloth beneath a bridge with no support cables. The only thing separating him from a quick trip to the pavement are his own hands and feet. Freddy calls himself the "Colombian Spiderman" and has been performing in character for three years in Medellin and six month in Bogota. Juggling and music weren't enough for this acrobat, so he started his daring and shocking routine to make sure that drivers looked up from their commute and watched him risk his life for their entertainment. Freddy's day job doesn't come with benefits, pension, or medical insurance, but it sure beats sitting in a cubicle. What do you think about this death-defying street performance?
