Modi bets on GM crops for India's second green revolution

2015-02-22 05:55:20| Chemicals - Topix.net

On a fenced plot not far from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home, a field of mustard is in full yellow bloom, representing his government's reversal of an effective ban on field trials of genetically modified food crops. The GM mustard planted in the half-acre field in the grounds of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute in New Delhi is in the final stage of trials before the variety is allowed to be sold commercially, and that could come within two years, scientists associated with the project say.

V2V Technology Update:Automotive Revolution Coming As Cars See Each Other

2015-02-19 18:42:02| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News

Situation: Lapses in driver attention or bad judgment frequently cause car accidents. The Solution that is coming: In the future, drivers will still have ultimate control of their vehicle, using gas pedals and steering wheels ... and to help them drive better and safer, cars that can see and respond to each other's movements will soon be on the road. How? GPS sensors in a vehicle will connect with matching programmed "nodes" on the street -- that will enable vehicles to constantly broadcast their positions and sound an alarm for impending collisions. Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) signals will occur through the use of WiFi like radios that warn drivers to take evasive action. Also -- radar-scanning crosswalks will beam alerts to pedestrians and bus drivers. Government estimates that the cost of V2V units to carmakers will be $329 per car. The cost to run the communications network will cost around $60 Million per year -- which could be covered with a $3 fee on each new car sale. See this mindboggling article on page 21 of the December 2014 issue of Car & Driver. _________________________________________________________ The Article V2V Technology Update: Automotive Revolution Coming As Cars See Each Other appeared first on Automotive Digest.
