On June 2 Tuesday Topics will try another new thing! As we take to the internet we will create a platform for some of our ACB scholarship winners to tell us a little about who they are and what they are doing. Amanda SELM, current chair of the ACB Scholarship Committee, is the prime mover in this process to share scholarship winners with the broader ACB community. During this show we will explore the lives of the winners who join us and we will also talk about the scholarship process with Amanda and perhaps other members of the scholarship committee. I am looking forward to understanding the process as well as those who have been chosen to be a part of ACB'S convention as scholarship winners!

In the past we have done programs on autonomous vehicles. Recently several folks have had the chance to ride in vehicles with no drivers and we thought it would be fun to ask them about their experience and their impressions. We also want to explore where we are in the process of regularizing their ability to function on a permanent basis. How good are accessibility features? Are there likely to be issues for people who are blind when insurance is needed? When are states likely to approve autonomous vehicles permanently? Who are the basic players in the field? What should ACB be doing? We hear about autonomous vehicles fairly often. We do not often enough get a chance to hear a full account of the experience. We will welcome three folks who have taken rides in autonomous vehicles and will share their impressions. We will also explore where we are in terms of making these vehicles permanently a part of our lives! Find out more at https://acb-tuesday-topics.pinecast.co
