See How The Newest Volvo SUV Drives Itself To Avoid Fender Benders

The autonomous cars are coming. Google’s perfecting its robo-egg, Cadillac’s working on something called Super Cruise and Elon Musk promises that your Tesla will soon fetch itself from the parking garage and come pick you up. Volvo, for its part, has a system that’ll handle stop-and-go traffic, the dreary highway crawl that so many of us face every day. It’s called Pilot Assist, and it’s not some vaporware assigned to an indeterminate future debut. It’s here now, in dealerships, in the 2016 XC90. And it’s awesome.

Here’s how Pilot Assist works: In highway traffic that’s grinding along at less that 30 mph, the XC90 uses radar to lock on the car in front of you. Meanwhile, a high-mounted camera reads the lane markings to ensure you stay in your lane. The car takes over steering, throttle and brakes, occasionally chiming an alarm if it detects that you’ve totally checked out and taken both hands off the wheel for more than 15 seconds. The system’s not finicky, not indecisive—it just works. Outside the car, nobody else would suspect that your Volvo is driving itself. That is, until traffic starts running 35 mph and you top out at 30. Then you lose your lead car and it’s back to the grind.

It’s certainly sexier to have a car drive itself at full-fledged highway speeds, or go park sans driver, but the unassuming Volvo system, buried in a dash menu next to the cruise control, is a huge deal. I headed into rush hour in Raleigh, NC (don’t laugh, denizens of New York, Los Angeles and DC) and even the Triangle’s modest gridlock produced two rear-end collisions that morning. This is the kind of traffic that’s so boring, so stultifying, that it lures you into complacency. Hey, I’m only doing 20 mph, let me see what else is on the radio—BANG! Time to open the glove box and find your insurance papers. 

I’m not saying that a low-speed accident could never happen in the XC90, but radar has a lot better attention span than you do. If I had to commute in highway traffic (or if I lived in a perpetually traffic-snarled metropolis), Pilot Assist alone would vault the XC90 to the top of my shopping list.  

Volvo being Volvo, it frames Pilot Assist as a safety feature, part of a system called IntelliSafe. And that it is, but it’s also just cool, a dash of utopian sci-fi lurking within your Swedish family hauler. I still love driving, but now and then I don’t mind a little help.

London-bound plane catches fire on Las Vegas runway( Associated Press)

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The 157 passengers aboard British Airways Flight 2276 were settled into their seats for the 10-hour flight from Las Vegas to London when the aircraft's left side engine caught fire.

Those aboard fled down emergency slides and across the tarmac as flames leaped from the British Airways Boeing 777-200 and dark black smoke billowed.

Reggie Bugmuncher, of Philadelphia, was charging her phone and waiting at a gate Tuesday for her flight from McCarran International Airport when she heard people saying, "Oh, my God." She looked out and saw "bursts of flames coming out of the middle of the plane."

"Everyone ran to the windows and people were standing on their chairs, looking out, holding their breath with their hands over their mouths," Bugmuncher said.

The plane's emergency slides deployed and passengers quickly fled. She said it was a "bit more orderly" than she would have expected given the dramatic nature of the fire and smoke.

Firefighters stationed at the airport reached the plane two minutes after getting reports of flames, and within another three minutes, everyone inside the plane had escaped.

After firefighters extinguished the flames, emergency vehicles could be seen surrounding the aircraft, which was left a sooty gray from the smoke and fire retardant.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the plane's left engine caught fire and an investigation was under way. The National Transportation Safety Board was collecting information about the incident, said Eric Weiss, a spokesman for the agency in Washington.

Clark County Deputy Fire Chief Jon Klassen said the cause of the fire wasn't clear yet, but the fire didn't appear to breach the cabin.

Fire officials said 14 people were taken to Sunrise Hospital by early Tuesday evening for minor injuries, most a result of sliding down the inflatable chutes to escape.

Airport Chris Jones said passengers were taken by the airline to hotels but he had no additional information on their travel plans 

The airline said the aircraft "experienced a technical issue" as it prepared to take off. "Our crew evacuated the aircraft safely and the fire was quickly extinguished."

British Airways spokeswoman Caroline Titmuss said in an earlier email that "safety is always our priority." Titmuss said that the airline was "looking after customers" but didn't elaborate.

The Federal Aviation Administration delayed flights to Las Vegas from some airports for more than two hours after the fire to slow the flow of planes while the disabled Boeing 777 made two of the airport's four runways inaccessible. One of the runways reopened about 2 1/2 hours after the fire.

Las Vegas' airport is the ninth-busiest in the U.S. and had nearly 43 million passengers last year. The airport has been taking steps to accommodate more international travelers seeking direct flights to Europe and Asia, including adding new gates to accommodate wide-body double-decker jets.

Associated Press writer Anna Johnson in Phoenix contributed to this report.

Migrant child's body on beach shocks Europe

Istanbul (AFP) - A photograph of a toddler's lifeless body washed ashore on a Turkish beach after a migrant boat sank swept across Europe on Wednesday, in a poignant image of the refugee crisis.

The images showed the little boy lying face down in the sand near Bodrum, one of Turkey's prime tourist resorts, before he was picked up by a police officer in photographs taken by the Dogan news agency.

The hashtag "#KiyiyaVuranInsanlik" ("Humanity washed ashore") made it to Twitter's top world trending topics after the image was widely shared.

The bleak image made the front page of almost all of Britain's major newspapers, including some that had previously taken a hard line on the migrant crisis.

"Tiny victim of a human catastrophe" was the Daily Mail's headline, along with a photo covering almost all of its front page.

"Unbearable" said The Mirror.

"If these extraordinarily powerful images of a dead Syrian child washed up on a beach don't change Europe's attitude to refugees, what will?" asked The Independent in an editorial which was headlined: "Somebody's child."

The paper immediately launched a petition demanding Britain accept "its fair share of refugees" which gained 10,000 signatures in hours.

London has come in for criticism over the number of refugees it has accepted which is lower than other EU countries in proportion to its population.

The Sun, which caused outcry earlier this year when it published a column comparing migrants to "cockroaches", used its front page to urged Prime Minister David Cameron to act.

"It's life and death," read the front page.

"Today The Sun urges David Cameron to help those in a life-and-death struggle not of their own making."

- 'The drowning of Europe' –

The image, which spread like wildfire on social media, also appeared on the websites of Spain's El Pais, El Mundo and El Periodico, which dubbed the image: "The drowning of Europe".

In Italy, La Repubblica tweeted the picture with the words: "One photo to silence the world."

The image also dominated the front pages of Sweden's main newspapers, with the headline in the Dagens Nyheter reading: "The refugee picture which shook the world."

Speaking to AFP, a Turkish rescue worker identified the boy as Aylan Kurdi. Media reports said he was three-years-old.

He was believed to be one of at least 12 Syrian migrants who died trying to reach Greece when their boats sank in Turkish waters.

The Turkish coastguard said two boats had sunk after separately setting off from Turkey's Bodrum peninsula for the Greek Aegean island of Kos early Wednesday. Among the dead were five children and a woman.

Another 15 people were rescued and the coastguard, backed by helicopters, was continuing its search for three more who were still missing, a statement said.

The rescue worker said the toddler from the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane. Residents there had last year fled to Turkey year to escape violence by Islamic State (IS) extremists.

Over the last week, there has been a dramatic spike in the numbers of migrants -- mainly from Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Africa -- seeking to leave Turkey by sea for Greece in the hope of finding new lives in the European Union.

This week, the Turkish government said the coastguard had rescued over 42,000 migrants in the Aegean Sea in the first five months of 2015 and more than 2,160 in the last week alone.

A coastguard official told AFP around 100 people had been rescued by Turkish rescue teams overnight as they tried to reach Kos.

The United Nations refugee agency UNHCR says more than 2,500 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean so far this year.

Migrants, many of whom have paid over $1,000 to smugglers for the risky passage, are taking advantage of the calm summer weather which makes this the best time for the crossing.
