Autonomous box trucks powered by Gatik are now transporting customer orders from a Walmart fulfillment center to a Neighborhood Market store in Bentonville, Arkansas, without a safety driver. Gatik's deployment with Walmart in Arkansas represents the first time an autonomous trucking company has removed the safety driver from a “middle mile” commercial delivery route.

Number Sequence
It's time for the new puzzler and this is this one is a good one. This is a very simple one. All of us are familiar with the kinds of puzzles where we give a sequence of numbers and ask you to name the next term.
For example, one, three, five, seven, nine, twenty-three. What's the next term? Right?
Well, this is just like that. And I'm going to read it just like that. I'm going to give you a string of numbers all separated by commas. And I will say where the commas are. And I want you to give us the next term.
Here's, here's the sequence of numbers. "1 comma 11 comma 21 comma 1211 comma 111,221 comma space." Now, what's the next term?
Now to be fair, my brother insisted that I had given you the numbers wrong, so here's how he read them.
And neither one of those things will help you at all! My brother was adamant that we also ask you why? So our question is, what's the next term and why?
This puzzle was spawned by a letter we received via our newspaper column. It was about a husband and a wife that was having a marital dispute about the use of the handbrake.
They both own matching Nissan Sentras. Old ones like '82. Real beauties.
Those were the days when the signs would rust up to the windows. And you see the Datsun written underneath.
And they would frequently go places together each in their own car and would park and then would find their own way home. But the husband was always in the habit of leaving it. When he parked leaving it in first gear. And the wife would always leave her car in reverse when she was parked.
So on one occasion, they met at the movies and when they came out, lo and behold, both of their cars were towed away.
So they go to get their cars. He gets into his car and turns the key and it goes WhuWhuWhuWhuWhu. It cranks and cranks but doesn't start. She gets into her car. Vroom! She drives away and leaves him there. Why? What were the peculiar circumstances surrounding the fact that his car didn't start after it was towed, but her car did start?
