Self-Driving Car of the Day: The state of Nevada — in a move that reinforces its laissez faire approach to, well,everything — has “issued Google the nation’s first license to test self-driving cars on public streets” after conducting safety demonstrations for the DMV on the Vegas Strip.

“They’re designed to avoid distracted driving,” said DMV director Bruce Breslow. “When you’re on the Strip and there’s a huge truck with three scantily clad women on the side, the car only sees a box.”

Google’s license covers three test cars; the technology is expected to be ready for the market in three to five years.

Inspirational Motivational of the Day: Philippe Croizon is a world class athlete who will swim between every continent in the world this summer. Croizon also lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 18 years ago. So how will he do it?

He uses homemade fins attached with stirrups to what’s left of his legs, and no prosthetics on his arms. He also uses a large snorkel to breathe.

Croizon’s adventure (follow him and donate here) will cover about 53 miles and total 45 hours of continuous swimming. The course will take him and a friend through waters inhabited by sharks, orca whales, and poisonous jellyfish, and water temperature varying from 80 degrees down to 0.

“I want to be the beacon of hope,” he said.
