ادامه مطلب RoadshowNewsSelf-driving taxis hit SingaporeMove over Uber, the newest transport disruptor is here. On a trial basis, at least. Starting on Thursday, some residents of Singapore will be able to take taxi rides in self-driving cars. It's brought to the Asian nation by US-based nuTonomy. The Renault Zoe and Mitsubishi i-Miev taxis will be hailed using an invite-only app. Perhaps to help give peace of mind to all customers, a nuTonomy engineer will be in each car to make sure the ride is smooth and to take manual control if need be. It's a limited trial, though. These autonomous taxis, while free, will only commute through Singapore's one-north business district.The startup, which in May received $16 million in funding, is narrowly beating Uber to the punch. The ride-sharing giant reportedly...

But the gist of it is that you (the younger version of you, who was able to eat french fries dipped in milkshakes any time you damn well pleased) create a profile using your phone number (remember those?) and your name.

While fishing in Poole, England on July 5, YouTuber Francis Darracott caught something much more impressive than a big fish.
