U.S. tech giant Uber are rolling out plans to allow users to hail self-driving cars, not in the distant science fiction-based future, but within weeks, the company has confirmed.
The firm provides millions of taxi rides around the world through self-employed drivers running their own cars.
U.S. tech giant Uber are rolling out plans to allow users to hail self-driving cars, not in the distant science fiction-based future, but within weeks, the company has confirmed.
The firm provides millions of taxi rides around the world through self-employed drivers running their own cars.
The launch will take place in Pittsburgh, where it is teaming up with Volvo. Volvo has already been testing self-driving versions of the same vehicle in Sweden as part of its "Drive Me" project, said Alan Stevens at the UK's Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). The firm has also trialled the vehicle in Australia and plans to do so in London next year.
This is a clever publicity stunt for Uber, as the vehicles will actually be supervised by a human driver, who can take control if necessary, however, it is clear where this is going. Uber eventually hopes to replace its one million drivers, Bloomberg said.
Uber are also in the news this week after launching a legal Challenger in London against new rules to impose English tests on drivers.

Uber's founder Travis Kalanick has been outlining a world dominating vision of a self-driving fleet for some years and has raised £10 billion dollars to make it happen.
A spokeswoman for the firm told the BBC: "Starting later this month, Uber will allow customers in downtown Pittsburgh to summon self-driving cars from their phones, crossing an important milestone that no automotive or technology company has yet achieved.
"In Pittsburgh, customers will request cars the normal way, via Uber's app, and will be paired with a driverless car at random. Trips will be free for the time being, rather than the standard local rate of $1.30 [£0.98] per mile."
Over three million people are employed in the transport industry in the U.S. alone. It will be long before most of our goods will be delivered by driverless cars and trucks. Amazon has already started using drones to delivering parcels in America.
Early results from tests show that robot-driven cars are safer than the average human driver – and they don’t drink or get into road rage!
On a more serious point, we are all going to have to adapt to more and more of our jobs being done by computers, robots and machines. This is happening now across many industries and will remove humans from tens of millions of jobs in the next few years.
How to survive the digital revolution
How to survive the digital revolution
The digital revolution is already upon us, so get ready! However, I am convinced that you can work from home and make money online provided you have the right internet training and support and real products of value to market. You need training. If you try tinker at it on your own you will reduce your chances of making enough money to quit your job and living the life you really want. Nearly all businesses use the internet these days, so it's not some obscure idea. The latest internet boom is only just starting, according to the experts, and we can all ride the next wave.
Fortunately, the internet has opened up a new world of
learning, working, socialising and doing business. Millions of people already work from home earning a living by using platforms such as Amazon, Ebay, Upwork and of course Uber. We no longer need to go back
to school or university to learn new skills. We can work from home, start a
business or find a new life partner all from the comfort of our home.

short instructional video to a full degree course online. If you would like

Bank of England cuts UK base interest rates to .25% and pumps more money into the economy
The Bank of England voted to cut base interest rates from 0.5 to 0.25% today, and pump more money into the economy by quantitative easing (QE) - printing money to you and me!
The move is designed to stimulate the economy, including a £100bn scheme to force banks to pass on the low interest rate to households and businesses, and will reduce mortgage payments for millions of borrowers, which should encourage us to go out and spend more money.
In the digital economy, things are still booming worldwide, A growing trend is for a more fulfilled and less materialistic life. People in developed countries are starting to move away from the traditional way of working in a job, with more and more of us opting to work from home or spend more time with the family, even if this means giving up a corporate job with a large salary.
In the last few years technology has made this dream a reality for millions of people who want to leave the rat race.
Anyone, for instance, stay-at-home mums and dads or home-based entrepreneurs, can now work from home using platforms set up by companies like Upwork.com, fiverr.com, Ebay or Amazon.com. We can even trade stocks and currencies using real-time software linked to trading floors that would have been out of reach for individual traders just a few years ago.
Starting a business online in the multi-billion dollar digital economy has never been easier and does not require risking the huge capital needed for traditional bricks and mortar business, such as a franchise or retail outlet.

Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said there was scope to cut the
interest rate further.if the UK went into recession, and added that a majority of the nine-member Monetary Policy
Committee (MPC) backed a further cut if subsequent data showed the economy was
slowing.
What does all this mean to the average person?
For most people, it will not make much difference to their daily lives. Over half the population do not have a mortgage, but savers, especially the retired, will suffer a further fall in the amount of interest they receive.
The question to ask yourself is: how will this affect my economy?

Despite the fact that the Bank of England has been printing money, the high street banks are not lending enough to small businesses, and mortgage brokers tell me that the lenders are restricting loans and pulling in their reins.

Srila Prabhupada's Hare Krishna movement teachings are more than love, spirituality and meditation, they actually work in everyday life and business too
A
few weeks ago, I attended the opening of a new Srila Prabhupada Garden at
Bhaktivedanta Manor, which is situated just outside London in Hertsmere.
Listening to the inspirational speeches in the beautiful gardens of the Manor House, donated to the Hare Krishna movement by the late George Harrison, I almost could have been at a seminar on how to be successful.
The speakers talked about meditation, love and spirituality, but also about the everyday practical things, like the importance of values, hard work, diligence, persistence, goals, planting seeds and never giving up on your purpose. These people have their feet firmly on the ground, and they know how to run an organisation which is larger than many listed corporations!
As the British sun came out for the first time in weeks, we all joined one of the speakers in a chorus of George Harrison's 'Here Comes the Sun.' It was a truly magical moment.
Bhaktivedanta Manor is the UK headquarters of the worldwide ISKCON movement, started in New York 50 years ago by Srila Prabhupada - with no money, no premises and a handful of disciples. It has since grown into a worldwide movement with millions of disciples. How many businesses last for 50 years? Not many, we were told. In fact the average lifespan of a successful business is falling below 20 years and most fail in the first.
After the dedication ceremony, we move to the George Harrison garden with Joshua M. Greene held a book launch for his biography of Srila Prabhupada: 'A Swami in a Strange Land'.
ISKCON has grown without the aid of massive capital injections, advertising campaigns or publicity stunts. The word has quietly spread through its disciples and volunteers.
No one is compelled to do anything, but there is a special power in the collective movement of people and the coming together of minds, sometimes known as a ‘mastermind’.
There are many other movements in the world today run by volunteers who work tirelessly, without pay, for a cause or collective vision. Some are religious or political groups, and some are not an organised ‘group’ at all, such as the Arab Spring or growing demand for a different, more open form of politics.
Another growing trend is the yearning for a more fulfilled and less materialistic life. People in developed countries are starting to move away from the traditional way of working in a job, with more and more of us opting to work from home or spend more time with the family, even if this means giving up a corporate job with a large salary.

For instance,
MacDonald’s franchise will cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars and it
will take several years before you see a profit. Even a small local franchise
will set you back $10-15,000 just for the ‘right’ to sell or provide a service
in a geographical area.
In
both of the above examples, people are physically tied to the business 24 hours a day, 365
days a year (unlike you would be in a digital business). In effect, most franchisees are buying a job.
So what's stopping you making the shift to a different way of life? When I was faced with a similar question a few years ago, having spent most of my life in a job or running a physical business 7 days a week, the answer came down to 2 things:
So what's stopping you making the shift to a different way of life? When I was faced with a similar question a few years ago, having spent most of my life in a job or running a physical business 7 days a week, the answer came down to 2 things:
- Education (how to do it) and
- Earning enough money to give up full-time work.
I
searched for five years and looked at hundreds of offers, get rich quick
schemes (which always seems to cost $47, but only if you buy the software
today!), various platforms, network marketing and MLM downline selling and
affiliate marketing companies. Most of these schemes did not appeal to me, as they either involved selling high priced goods to my friends, or required me to me a technical wizard at setting up websites and online marketing systems.
I finally a company that offered a vehicle for stay-at-home digital entrepreneurs or someone who wanted to start part-time earn affiliate commissions until they had enough passive income to quit their jobs - all without the need to set up websites or possess geeky levels of technical knowledge.
The company has excellent training for their students taking, them through a structured series of modules at their own pace, backed up with webinars and live support and mentoring from real people. What I really liked was the fact that the initial video training, reports and information is downloadable and totally free and without obligation.
Warren Buffet, probably the greatest investor on earth, once said that if you cannot generate passive income, you'll work until you die. The problem is, most people coming up to retirement in the ext 10 to 20 years do not have enough in a pension plan to enable them to retire on a passive income.
