A change in how you drive on the Las Vegas Strip is coming soon. Zoox, a company creating autonomous vehicles, plans to roll out a fully autonomous taxi, or robotaxi, next year. The company says while the public will not be driven in the robotaxi until next year, they are already testing these new robotaxis on the strip.

So far this year, pedestrian deaths have far exceeded last year’s total, which was the worst on record. Tuesday morning, officers from across the valley joined forces to make a statement before Halloween to remind drivers to share the road. However, even an officer dressed in a neon yellow inflatable costume could not slow down most of the drivers.

Following global climatic change and the progression of arid areas, there is a dire need for liquid water in water-scarce areas. These areas are very vulnerable, and the upcoming decades are expected to worsen their condition. Technologies that can source water from alternative resources are of urgent importance.
