The biggest problem I see is we can't afford to repair the roads we have with 100 year old paving technology. How then, are we going to afford upgrading ALL roads to perfect pavement with the embedded transponders to make true driverless cars a possibility? They are currently trying to run autonomous cars off GPS and cameras, that have proven to be fallible with fatal results. Autonomous cars will need to rely on embedded sensors in roads and signs to make them truly viable. Right now, they can only stop where GPS says to, or it sees a stop sign on camera. What if there is a construction zone with a temporary stop sign not plotted on GPS, and has been rendered unreadable due to an event like weather putting it on the ground? That's right, currently you could end up in a hole or off the end of an overpass. You should be smart enough to register the danger, but a computer may not be. With a transponder in it, that stop sign is still a stop sign to the car, even if it can't be seen. Current computer technology that is affordable enough to mass produce is not fast enough at depth perception or word recognition to do this. GPS cannot be counted on to help with depth perception, as it has a hard time determining height and distance under 100 feet, in my experience, not good enough to run a car by. I personally think self driving and electric cars are being pushed as a formatter of population control. Self driving cars can be limited in where they will ALLOW you to go, and electric limits how FAR you can go.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
