Kurt'CyberGuy' Knutsson explores the benefits of AI-powered dashcams for your car. Have you ever wished you had a witness to back you up after a car accident or a road rage incident? Or a way to prevent thieves from breaking into your vehicle? Or a device that could call for help if you were in trouble? Well, now you can have all that and more with the iQ, a new artificially intelligent dashcam from Nextbase.

Artificial Intelligence is taking the world by storm, especially with the latest tech hit, ChatGPT, going viral. If you haven't heard of or tried ChatGPT, it's a highly advanced artificial intelligence tool that you can use to ask any question, and in return, it will provide you with an intelligent, well-written answer back -- all within seconds. From writing essays to typing up software code, producing song lyrics to doing advanced calculations and more -- ChatGPT is fast becoming what Google was for search when it launched back in 1998. ChatGPT, though, is not the only advanced AI tool being developed. Tech giants, ranging from Google to Amazon, are also playing in this space and we can expect to see more tools hit the market in the months and years to come. However, there is also a more unseen, practical side of AI that has the potential to save hours of time and money for several industries and consumers.

Tesla stopped reporting its Autopilot safety numbers last year soon after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began collecting and releasing autonomous driving crash data, the Los Angeles Times reported. Tesla didn't say why it stopped posting that data online, but company critics have a theory why the safety numbers are no longer publicly available. "Because it's gotten a lot worse," said Taylor Ogan, chief executive at fund management firm Snow Bull Capital On Thursday, NHTSA announced it opened investigations into two recent crashes in addition to the dozens of automated-driving Tesla incidents that it's already investigating. The Times had reported in July that Tesla CEO Elon Musk had known about multiple safety complaints and accidents involving Tesla's Full Self-Driving system when testing began on public roads with Tesla's FSD beta program. There has not been one accident or injury since FSD beta launch.

While many people think that Tesla was the first car company to come up with the idea, manufacturers have actually been toying with the concept of autonomous vehicles since the 1930s. In 1939, an exhibit at the New York World's Fair called "Futurama" envisioned a world 20 years into the future in which an automated highway system would guide autonomous vehicles. As with other technological advancements, the idea of self-driving cars would have to wait until our technology had caught up to our drive for innovation. Self-driving vehicles are going to have a significant impact on all aspects of our lives. They have the potential to clean up our air (especially if the cars are electric) and make our commutes more enjoyable.

Attorney Jack Cohen knows both sides of the blame and claim game. He's spent nearly 40 years practicing law, much of it trying injury suits for insurance companies. But he's also written a novel called "Bad Faith," which tells the story from the victim's side. Cohen knows his limitations--you can't fight artificial intelligence (AI). You have to work with it.

Getting your driving licence is a milestone moment for many people. You go through rigorous theory and practical tests, sometimes more than once, before you are given the privilege of being on the road. This, of course, is to ensure the safety of the driver, any passengers and other road users, writes Raina Victor of Birketts LLP. You are also aware of the consequences of driving going wrong, including that the liability for any accident falls (for the most part) on the driver. But what about car accidents that are not caused by the driver of the vehicle but the vehicle itself?

I was born and raised in a calm and mostly residential district of the northern suburbs of Athens called "Vrilissia". However, this calmness is often interrupted by car crashes in the streets. And when I say often, I mean that as a kid, I remember periods of time that car accidents were happening on a daily basis. So I tried to collect data about car accidents in Vrilissia, analyze them, try to interpret them and if possible try to predict the severity of a car accident that may happen in future time. I collected data about car crashes in Vrilissia through the local news site, vrilissianews.gr.

How will pedestrians fare in an era of self-driving cars? When growing up, most children are taught the rather simple but altogether life-saving idea that they should look both ways before crossing the street. Why is there a need to teach such a safety precaution? Because the streets are occupied by moving objects, including heavy ones that can knock the stuffing out of you. Cars coming down a street can ram into a person and the result is downright ugly. It is likely that the pedestrian struck by a car is going to suffer some number of injuries, ranging from mild scratches and a few broken bones to the sad and all too often loss-of-life entirely. According to U.S. government statistics, the year 2019 had about 6,200 pedestrian fatalities and approximately 76,000 pedestrians were injured, which is generally the annual counts that occur year after year (for my collection of driving stats, see the link here).

When confirming on Wednesday that the investigation had been concluded, he added: "We have reached out to Tiger Woods and his personnel and there are some privacy issues on releasing information on the investigation.

We would all like to think we're impeccable drivers, but the reality is most of us are far from perfect on the road. Even if self-driving car tech improves and your vehicle is equipped with the best version, chances are you'll eventually end up in an accident. You may even be at fault. Though accidents can't be completely prevented, the enormous property damage bills that come along with car accidents can be partially minimized with the right insurance. Auto insurance is required in most states, yet this incredibly important protection is often overly complicated to understand and annoying to secure.
