The business of transportation is being redesigned. It is all over us with Uber and peers changing what it means to move from one location to another.

It does seem that the business of making cars may not be a profitable one in the far future. So car manufacturers are diversifying.

Volkswagen has bought PayByPhone, a company that lets drivers pay for parking using their mobile phones. Volkswagen says it plans to bundle PayByPhone’s capabilities with other mobile payment services into a separate business built around parking.

Earlier this month, Volkswagen launched a digital business division called Moia that will offer, among other services, an on-demand shuttle for commuters living in urban areas in an aim to expand beyond its traditional focus of making and selling cars.

Just note that when it comes to transportation, no one can predict what will happen next. The sector is experiencing many new transformations beginning with the pioneering Uber business model.

Tesla is simply fascinating and will become a bigger company than Apple in 10 years. There is no doubt about that. They have a real engineering marvel that will make that market success possible.

Tesla’s super-sensory autopilot system might be able to predict a collision and react faster than a human driver, a new dash-cam video suggests, using radar technology that allows it to see what we cannot.

The video, first reported by tech site Electrek, shows a highway in the Netherlands stretching before a moving Tesla. Eight seconds in, a rapid beeping sound is followed by a car rear-ending an SUV, which then flips over on impact.

CNBC reports that the company has confirmed that that the sound heard in the video, which was shared on Twitter more than a thousand times, was in fact the vehicle’s Forward Collision Warning.

What do you call anti-predictive collision? That is reality.

President Buhari of Nigeria must understand that Nigerian terrorists like Boko Haram fighters cannot get the type of deal that Colombia is giving FARC members.

Colombia approved amnesty for thousands of guerrilla insurgents. After signing a peace deal with FARC, a decades-old rebel group, the country’s congress passed a law that will free FARC fighters from prosecution for “minor crimes.” It’s estimated there are 7,000 members of FARC in Colombia.

The original peace deal, rejected at a referendum on 2 October, was seen by many as too lenient towards the rebels.

The government and the Farc then went back to the negotiating table to try to strike a new deal acceptable to those who had voted “no”.

The main amendments included:

• The Farc will have to declare all their assets and hand them over. The money will be used for reparation payments for the victims of the conflict

• Concerns by religious groups that the agreement undermined family values have been addressed

• A time limit of 10 years has been set for the transitional justice system

• Farc rebels will be expected to provide exhaustive information about any drug trafficking they may have been involved in
• The peace agreement will not form part of Colombia’s constitution

For Boko Haram, they need to be prosecuted and cannot get a kid glove.
