First Successful Self Flying Robot Taxis - Meet the Future Rideshare Drone

Flying Cars & Hover Technology

---

We've all seen the concept in movies, from Back to the Future Series, Total Recall, to The 5th Element, a self flying vehicle artificially controlled by itself. Furthermore, its additional features usually include being able to fly between buildings at top speeds, yet can also gently come to a hover for boarding. Nine years ago when the concept was pushed into design, all of those features seemed out of reach. However, now in 2016 it has become a reality. Meet the Air Mule aka the Cormorant.

Due to it's current military application, the project's flight data was kept secret, but the first official successful flight occurred in January of this year. The makers of Air Mule Drone, Urban Aeronautics, also stated that it's name will change to "the Cormorant."

Dead Man Wins Election in Oceanside California - SD County City Treasurer

Gary Ernst "Why Not"

---

The new City of Oceanside Treasurer for 2016 is voted in and....it's a dead guy.  Gary Ernst, a long-time financial adviser, was appointed to the city post in 2010 after former City Treasurer Gary Felien was elected to the City Council. “I knew that he’d been ill, but I didn’t realize it was life threatening,” Felien said. His running mate Nadine Scott, whose career includes work as a lawyer, an activist and a government agency treasurer, tells NBC San Diego that despite losing to Ernst by a vote of 17,659 to 15,500, she should be appointed to the position.
