Over the past decade alone, thermometers have measured some of the hottest average temperatures in recorded history. As the mercury rises, climate change is quickly becoming an unfortunate reality for many. In the United States alone, 13.1 million people who live in low lying areas could be forced to relocate by rising tides, according to sea level projections. The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts sea levels will rise between one and three feet by the end of the century, creating a slew of tangible impacts on industry and residential life. A new report released on Wednesday by the Union of Concerned Scientists brings that reality home to a new group, the military, with predictions that at least 18 military bases are at risk from rising tides. “Reports like this are very helpful,” says Sean Hecht, the co-executive director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at UCLA School of Law, in a phone interview with The Christian S...

Google has taught its self-driving cars to recognize cyclists and how they behave to better predict their course. The self-driving car, using sensors and software, can also detect and interpret cyclists’ hand signals, Google says in a report released Tuesday. The self-driving cars have learned to be more cautious around cyclists as a result. The cars have also learned how to recognize different types of bikes such as tandems and unicycles. Google said "Our cars recognize cyclists as unique users of the road, and are taught to drive conservatively around them (it helps to have a number of avid cyclists on our engineering team!). Through observing cyclists on the roads and private test track, we’ve taught our software to recognize some common riding behaviors, helping our car better predict a cyclist’s course. Our sensors can detect a cyclist’s hand signals as an indication of an intention to make a turn or shift over. Cyclists often make hand signals far in advance of a turn, ...
