Autonomous vehicles, also known as self-driving cars, represent the future of personal transportation. States have begun to regulate the testing and implantation of this technology onto public highways, and the federal government has suggested baseline regulations for states to consider when proposing future legislation. First, this Comment provides a brief overview of autonomous vehicle technology, as well as the pros and cons of a self- driving vehicle. Second, this Comment analyzes both enacted and proposed legislation at the state level. This Comment then recommends various provisions that states should implement in future legislation and cautions against the inclusion of various provisions that will impede the implementation of autonomous vehicle technology.

This document highlights many important events that have occurred in the evolution of railroad transportation in Michigan. This document was originally published to help celebrate Michigan’s 150th birthday in 1987. A number of organizations and individuals contributed to its development at that time. The document has continued to be used by many since that time, so a decision was made to bring it up to date and keep the information current. Consequently, some 28 years later, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has updated the original document and is placing it on our website for all to access. As you journey through this history of railroading in Michigan, may you find the experience both entertaining and beneficial. MDOT is certainly proud of Michigan’s railroad heritage.

On March 17-18, the Almost Spring Swap Meet takes place also in Puyallup. On April 6-8, the perennial Portland Swap Meet takes place. This will be their 54th year. They have more than three miles of booths and is always worth the trip south for the day. If you have the energy, you can also attend the meet going on at the same time at the Portland International Raceway. This meet is a more than a two mile walk around the track.

Ein kurzer, aber detailierter Überblick über die Hersteller Automobilamerikas zwischen 1897 und 2018 Wenn Sie regelmäßiger Tow Truck Driver-Leser sind, wissen Sie bestimmt, dass man den amerikanischen Pkw-Markt des 20. Jahrhunderts auf genau 11 Automarken aus drei Konzernen beschränken kann. Sicher gab es noch etliche mehr, aber mal im Ernst – müssen Sie wirklich wissen, was es mit der Maxwell Motor Co. Auf sich hat? Oder mit Oakland? Wahrscheinlich nicht, denn ählich wie fast 2.000 weitere US-Autohersteller sind Maxwell, Oakland und alle anderen mehr als 130 Jahre nach der Erfi ndung des Automobils fast spurlos verschwunden.
