WPV #1
This is where we plan to test the vehicle, eventually. Saunton Sands in North Devon near Barnstaple. The fun bit is the journey, learning new skills and finding solutions.

Should driverless cars face a driving test?
Driverless cars should face a driving test before they are allowed on the road. It would be an assumption that all cars are manufactured identically, so each car would have to pass its test before being allowed on the road. A bit like an MoT. This would be done yearly (like an MoT).

#1 Internet of Things
The Particle Photon connects with the Internet and communicates with another Particle Photon, a website or an app on a smartphone. Data can go both ways. You can turn a light on in your house with your phone or you can see what the temperature is in your living room in real time. These are just simple examples.

The importance of IoT
Learning about IoT is so important. There is so much hype and mistrust and yet the technology is there to bring so much benefit to people. Just like AI it is time for people with good motives to take the centre ground and find ways to use technology for the benefit of everyone.

The fear of AI
There is a lot of scaremongering about Artificial Intelligence, 5G and the Internet of Things. These technologies are powerful tools for good and can of course be abused. Make it your aim to use them for good, to benefit society or an individual. Compassion wins every time. Don’t let the desire for money, power or influence drive you, be a blessing to others and everyone benefits

Can Artificial Intelligence make a cup of Yorkshire Tea?
Artificial Intelligence isn’t necessarily evil nor benign. It is simply a tool that is a clever way of using information or data combined with the power of a modern computer with code that is written in such a way that does things that humans can’t do easily. We on the other hand are really good at making a nice cup of Yorkshire Tea.
