World’s First Self-Driving Car Runs On Trial In Singapore?
Singapore – The world’s self-driving taxi, which was developed by researchers from nuTonomy, a Singapore-based transportation software firm, was allow to trial run in a 6-km route in the 
One-North Industrial Zone in Singapore on Thursday.
Vietnam News Agency (VNA) reports that a group of ten Singaporean residents were invited to use nuTonomy’s smartphone app to hail the robo-taxi for a ride at no charge.
To ensure safety, several computer engineers of nuTonomy will backup human driver during the trial phase in case anything goes wrong.
Now, there are four other self-driving cars of nuTonomy waiting for a trial run.
NuTonomy previously said it expects to launch its service without the supervision of a safety driver in 2018.
The
firm plans to put 75 cars of this kind for commerce purpose into
operation in Singapore in 2018, in order to meet increasing travel
demand in the country.

In a recent survey conducted by undergraduates from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), a dirty Singaporean secret is uncovered: while 9 in 10 smartphone users admit using their smartphones in the toilet, only 1 in 10 clean their smartphones on a regular basis. Furthermore, only 1 in 2 always wash their hands after using the toilet.
The startling statistics from a street survey of 305
smartphone users in Singapore show that many just underestimate the dirtiness
of their smartphones.
With these insights, the team of four final-‐year students
from NTU's Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information pioneered a
campaign, Hello, Hygiene? to promote good hygiene amongst smartphone users in
Singapore.
"While we were researching on personal hygiene and germs, we chanced upon an article on The Telegraph about how dirty our smartphones really are, and that they can even harbor faecal matter.
In fact, a British study found that our phones have 18 times more germs than a public toilet seat," said team member Eenette Wong, 23.Source: Asia One...More...

Some of the
girls who applied for a job at his social escort agency were as young as 15
years old.
But that
didn't stop him from using them to provide sexual services to men.
Chew Tiong
Wei also had sex with some of them because he wanted to "try" them
out before hiring them.
A 17-year-old girl whom Chew had sex with went on to make about $20,000 for him in about a year.The university undergraduate slept with about 50 men, charging them $400 to $1,000 each. As with his other girls, Chew took 40 per cent of her takings as his cut.His other "social escorts" were not as lucrative, but Chew still earned $1.047 million from at least 19 prostitutes from 2007 until last year, when the law finally caught up with him.He was arrested by the police at his Victoria Street office last December following a tip-off.Yesterday, Chew, 38, who set up the now-defunct Prestige Talents Management, pleaded guilty in court to 28 charges, including living off the immoral earnings of prostitutes, having sex with a minor, having commercial sex with underage prostitutes, making obscene films and income tax offences.Court papers said Chew, who has been married since 2002, started his vice business sometime in mid 2007 when he published advertisements in newspapers almost daily to recruit female social escorts.
