I often find myself wondering: if I could live for any single day in the history of mankind (from anyone’s point of view), what day would I choose to live? .There is not a fixed answer  to this question and so i decided to make a list of places and period I would like to visit,:) Annoyingly hard.

For starters, we know that self-driving cars won't become commonplace overnight. The vast majority of cars on the road now have no automation features or only very limited automation, like cruise control. Some unknowns are fairly technical. How well will autonomous vehicles   operate in rain or snow ? And how will they handle changing conditions on unpaved roads which make up nearly majority of our coun...
