This blog gives me the oppurtunity to chronical those things that I find interesting and beautiful. I'm a student and admirer of photography, design, music, and style. So the majority of the content will consist of those things.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES BUILDING NETWORK OF DRIVERLESS ELECTRIC TAXIS
When the system's fully built, planners say the podcars will be able to deliver riders within 100 meters of any location in the city. The whole network of tracks for the cars will be two stories beneath street level.
The cost? Its creators say the system will pay for itself by charging riders the same price they'd pay for an equivalent taxi ride. Similar podcars are in use at Heathrow Airport near London, but never have they been deployed on such a city-wide scale.
