A woman has been charged with reckless endangerment after plowing her car into a Manhattan protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Newser reports 52-year-old Kathleen Casillo was driving with her 29-year-old daughter when she said demonstrators began banging on her BMW. Demonstrators were protesting in support of ICE detainees on hunger strike. Casillo says she panicked and hit the gas. Six people have hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. A demonstrator was charged for allegedly interfering with emergency workers responding to the scene.
BMW presented a level five autonomous driving car at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday, a car that would allow its driver to completely take his or her mind off the road, enabling the driver to eat, watch a movie, or even sleep behind the wheel. However, the level five autonomous car still has a way to go before being realised. In the meantime, BMW expects to get level 3 autonomous vehicles called iNEXT on the road by 2021.
The company prided for building the ultimate driving machine has an ambition plan for helping ridesharing services. By 2021 BMW plans to produce fully autonomous vehicles with the intent of providing ridesharing customers with a driverless alternative. For people that don't like other people, a ridesharing service sans social interactions may be on the way.
In this video, Mat Watson and Rebecca Chaplin hit the roads of London in a BMW i3 for a challenge with a difference.The pair took it in turns to drive some of the city’s busiest areas without pressing the brake pedal and attempted to get by just using the electric car’s regenerative braking alone.Like many electric cars, the BMW i3 begins to recover energy as soon as you take your foot off the accelerator. When it’s accelerating the battery powers the wheels but when it’s braking the motor acts as a generator, charging the battery and gently bringing the car to a stop at the same time – if you’re on flat ground that is.Each of would drive just over three miles and the person who used the brake pedal the least would win. Of course, they weren’t allowed to cause an accident by not braking so planning ahead and paying attention would be key!
