A couple of years ago, Uber announced that they would headed over to Arizona to conduct their self-driving car tests. It seemed to be going well until a couple of months ago where Uber was involved in a fatal accident with one of its self-driving cars. Naturally the program was halted and it was unclear if Uber would get it back up and running again.
Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. In a report from The Wall Street Journal, it cites an internal memo that they have obtained that Uber had decided to end its self-driving program in Arizona. The memo reads in part, “We’re committed to self-driving technology, and we look forward to returning to public roads in the near future.”
This follows a report from earlier this month in which Uber states that they plan to resume the program in a few months. However based on the memo, it states that the company will be looking to conduct a “top-to-bottom safety review”. Uber is also expected to continue looking into and developing its self-driving technology, so it just seems that for now the program in Arizona has ended.
As Uber states, they do plan on returning to public roads for testing in the future, but it is unclear as to when it might be. At the moment it is unclear as to what exactly might have been the reason behind the accident. Some reports claim it was a lack of sensors, while others claim it might have been an issue with the software.

“Why did you shoot at the girl? You killed her!” a bystander asks in video that shows the aftermath of the shooting.
The folks over at Royole Corporation are certainly a busy bunch, having come up with a 3D mobile theater just last month, and now this leading innovator and manufacturer of next-generation human-machine interface technologies and products have developed the RoWrite smart writing pad. The RoWrite smart writing pad will be based on the company’s unique and patented flexible electronics technologies, where it has been specially designed to be able to capture, store, and share all different kinds of handwritten material in an accurate manner for digital applications.
This particular unit is capable of capturing real-time writing when it comes to using regular paper and traditional pen refills. Not only that, users will have the added advantage of being able to obtain a digital record immediately, as it will be sent straight to their smart device, computer, and to the cloud. Alternatively, if you would like to transfer all of that digital information at a later time, you are free to do so. With the RoWrite, handwritten notes or drawings can be reproduced directly onto any smart device or computer as it will be saved digitally. It can also function without the need for a smartphone or tablet, as the content can be saved onto the RoWrite first for synchronization later on.
Sporting 2,048 force-touch handwriting sensitivity, this would be close to an accurate representation of the written material, which includes pressure intensity. Hence such technological capability virtually guarantees that there is no form of writing break off or delay. One can also take advantage of the RoWrite App installed on a paired device in order to edit or enhance digital copies in real-time. Through the app, you can choose from different writing instruments, alter stroke thickness, or even get creative and add up 20 colors. Heck, why not digitally erase and capture a video of your creation in order to share with coworkers, family, and friends later on? The Royole RoWrite will be accompanied by a premium leather folio for added protection, where it will have an asking price of $129.99.
