Shipping Your Bike to the Rally Instead of Riding it There

Motorcycle rallies are some of the most anticipated events of the year, bringing together riders from across the country to enjoy scenic routes, live entertainment, and the riding community. But getting to the rally isn't always the most enjoyable part of the experience. Long highway miles, unpredictable weather, mechanical wear, and fatigue can take away from the fun before the event even begins....

Uninsured vs. Underinsured Motorist Coverage After a Motorcycle Accident

Did you know that motorcyclists have 31.39 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled compared to 1.13 for passenger cars? That's 28 times the death rate. Roughly 43% of motorcyclists killed in single-vehicle crashes were alcohol-impaired, and speeding has been a factor in over a third of all fatal motorcycle crashes in recent years. After a motorcycle accident, the injured rider will face substantial costs and expenses....

What Automation Looks Like in a Rental Car Fleet

Car rental is an unglamorous but revealing test case for vehicle automation. The fleet is mixed, the drivers change every few days, and the cars are handed to people who have never sat in them before. Almost none of the interesting automation in this sector is autonomous driving. Australia offers a workable example of the scale involved. East Coast Car Rentals…...

How Prior DUI Convictions Affect New Charges

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), alcohol-impaired driving was involved in about 30% of all U.S. traffic fatalities in 2024. Among drivers involved in fatal crashes, those with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher were three times as likely to have a prior impaired-driving conviction as drivers with no alcohol involvement, 6% compared with 2%....

How an ABC Law Violation Can Affect Your Record

California’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control completed 3,454 investigations during fiscal year 2024-25. It filed 1,241 violation counts and registered 1,060 accusations against licensees. ABC enforcement is not limited to one type of violation. Court proceedings differ depending on the state’s laws regarding alcoholic drinks.

Signs Your Business Has Outgrown its Current Work Vehicle

Your crew made two trips back to the yard yesterday. Same as Tuesday. Same as the week before. Nobody flagged it, because the truck started fine and got everybody home. That's the thing about outgrowing a vehicle: it almost never announces itself with a breakdown. It shows up as fifteen extra minutes here, a rented trailer there, a job you quoted but didn't bid because hauling the material would have taken three runs....

Logic unveils overhead picking robot that ‘reimagines how warehouses move goods’

Logic, a developer of autonomous, data-driven logistics solutions, has unveiled the Octopus, an overhead industrial picking robot that replaces static, floor-bound equipment with an agile, ceiling-mounted system for high-speed case handling. Suspended above existing workflows, Octopus autonomously picks, lifts, and transfers cased goods without consuming aisle space, allowing warehouses and logistics hubs to reclaim the floor for storage density, people, and flow....

Europe launches new satellite to provide faster and sharper weather monitoring

The Meteosat Third Generation Imager 2 satellite (MTG-I2) has successfully passed its first critical post-launch milestones, completing the first full Meteosat Third Generation constellation in orbit. The imager satellite MTG-I2 is safely in orbit and operating as expected following its successful launch yesterday at 22:11 CEST on board an Ariane 6 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. Our teams have established communication with the spacecraft, which has also deployed its solar panels to ensure its autonomous production of energy....

How biodynamic farming can help farms withstand drought

Farming around the world is under pressure due to drought. Heatwaves and the absence of rainfall cause dried out soils and threaten to spoil crops. While biodynamic farming cannot change the broader conditions in the short term, it does have experience with shading and with building up humus to store water and increase plant and animal resilience. “We know from experience and scientific research that agroecology, organic farming and biodynamics can help mitigate the effects of extreme weather,” says Martin Quantin, research associate in the Section for Agriculture at the…...
