    Fatal autopilot crash, NHTSA investigating...

    Too many questions here for me alpal. I think for the present I would prefer to stay in control. I have found that even with standard old cruise control when you need to regain direct control it is easy to make mistakes- press accelerator instead of brake etc.

    Great news alpal. Glad to hear you are up for this journey. I can advise you that OGDEN Power will welcome you to Alice Springs and introduce you to their free charge station.

    W What we have is gas and current government policy is more gas. Through Re-Power Alice Springs we are campaigning to obtain a commitment for more Solar.
