Ready or Not, Autonomous Vehicles Rolled Further Ahead This Week Toward Inevitability with Mobility for All

May 31, 2018

Less than a year ago, discussion of autonomous vehicle manufacture here in Saline seemed to be valued with little more than interest than dutiful re-posting of press release copy. A little further out and a month later, there was more talk, of a self-driving vehicle being tested for pizza delivery in Ann Arbor. But then we got clarification that it was never actually used in self-driving mode. [1,2,3,4] Fast-foward to this past January, and Saline ....

Governor Gretchen Whitmer, during her inauguration speach on New Years Day 2019 in Lansing Michigan

Gretchen Whitmer sworn-in today as governor, ostensibly signalling close to 2018 election cycle and move to governance

January 1, 2019

Happy New Year from Lansing Michigan. Arguably conspicuous by absence in our look back at 2018 was any given connection to government or politics — let alone a dedicated section for the subject. [1] Mitigating against that is the position that there is little of substance that Saline Journal could cover without influence from one or both. Calling that out yesterday would have seemed redundant. The real questions are fall on a spectrum of involvement, ....

You’re likely to miss the nondescript escalator tucked away off expansive North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) floor at Cobo Center, at the south corner of Hall D — on “Level 200,” to be more precise. [1,2] Back in the day, organizers actively promoted this with large, colorful signs and bright lights as means of access to “more” exhibitors, below. The main floor was where visitors went would see promising innovations such as the 2001 ....

[1,2,3,4,5] WCC Associate Vice President of Marketing and Communications Brendan Prebo has given staff photographer Kelly Gampel glowing praise for the visual element of these initiatives. “We brought her in with ....
