Fridays at 11:35 am on 900 CHML is Adam Oldfield on Tech Talk. Check out the line up for topics of discussion this Friday:India will not allow for driverless cars. This was announced that the government is going to hold off for the autonomous driving approval.http://mashable.com/2017/07/25/india-self-driving-car-ban/#dxxOisi56sqMThere’s been a lot of pushback from autonomous-driving vehicles from the fear that a car could drive on its own. Keep in mind in the 1900s elevators were manually operated. You would step on and someone would crank to make the elevator go up and down. In 1900, they offered the automatic elevator which people immediately turned away. It wasn’t until 1945 when elevator operators in New York went on strike completely holding the city. That’s when operators put an ad campaign showing how convenient the elevator was and how you could push the button yourself. Allowing you to go up and down safely. It had children and grandmother’s using the elevator.http://www.npr.org/2015/07/31/427990392/remembering-when-driverless-elevators-drew-skepticismA pocket-sized air purifier is now available and can plug directly into your car.
