1:44 am
today for something other than insurance purposes! yay! ford are working with vivacity labs, using these three in their cars to monitor my driving in order to monitor my driving in order to assess an area's road safety. i speed, acceleration, weight and harshness of braking, steering, all of these are being measured to see how i react along a route. and predict any near misses that i have with other vehicles or people. and when and cars behave erratically in an area, sensors are placed on lampposts to gather more data, which we will see later, but as a driver right now, i had a bit of a problem with the black box existing. if i want to miss behave slightly or go a little bit faster, i am just going to be constantly wondering, what is it picking up? is this going to bite me in the back later? i am not giving it a true reflection of myself as i am driving. so is this the data they want? we have reached the
1:45 am
headquarters of vivacity where the data is being processed. remember those sensors we pass along the way? here are the visualisation of what the company sees. it is all blurred and anonymized but no—one is identified, but these lines represent cyclists, pedestrians and cars in the spot, and you can see how they are getting some potentially harmful situations as they cross each other. 0r situations as they cross each other. or as an area gets busier. so they will take this data and presented to the local council to act on it. if data and presented to the local council to act on it.— council to act on it. if you send somebody - council to act on it. if you send somebody out - council to act on it. if you send somebody out to i council to act on it. if you i send somebody out to what council to act on it. if you - send somebody out to what was happening, even for five or six hours, which would be an expensive thing to do, they won't necessarily see the root cause. in this particular scenario there is 1.5 minutes worth of clips for that 1.5 hours we have commenced is down to. ratherthan hours we have commenced is down to. rather than spending 1.5 hours at the roadside, if they watched 1.5 hours of condensed clips from a sensor, they will get a much better understanding of what is the problem at this particular location.— of what is the problem at this particular location. peter also

companies should be legally required to share it. this is something a number of lawmakers in the us agree with. it is called the right to repair, and it proposes that consumers have more say in where they get their products fix instead of just having to go to the manufacturer. and in 2021, more than half of the 50 states in the us propose some form of this legislation, covering devices like your personal tech from your mobile to your laptop, medical devices and even tractors. so i decided to give repairing a try, with a little bit of professional help. ifixit is a company that specialises people —— specialises people —— specialises in having people around the world thinks is anything from devices to apparel and anything in between. it took me about 10 minutes to replace a screen on iphone 12 macs. as someone who does very little handiwork the repair was actually quite easy. it does take a lot of patience, a steady hand and a suction cup that ballistics but overall it

because what we're seeing at the moment is cooler and fresher air starting to spread in from the near continent. and that's significant because as humidity levels drop, the clouds will increasingly break up, and that's happening right now across east anglia and the south east. meanwhile, for northern england, wales, south—west england, southern and eastern scotland, still a lot of low cloud around, a few spots of drizzle, bit of mist and fog for some. and then there's this band of rain that's really pepping up at the moment. some heavy rain for northern ireland, western scotland bringing a risk of some localised surface water flooding. now, the rain will tend to turn a little lighter and patchier through saturday, and the weather front will finally, after a couple of days, start to move away into parts of the north of england and the north of wales. midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england should be much more in the way of sunny spells compared with recent days, and temperature still pretty high for october, 18—19 degrees. the second half of the weekend sees that cold front across northern areas pushing southwards. it's a weakening feature, so there won't be much rain

left on it by the time it reaches east anglia and south—east england, but there could be an odd patch. for most of the uk on sunday, it's another dry day with plenty of sunshine around. however, there will be a fair few blustery showers across the far north and west of scotland. temperatures easing somewhat across northern areas, but still very warm for the south of england and wales. monday, well, it looks like we'll see another band of rain push its way into scotland, turning increasingly heavy, some fairly gusty winds with this as well. temperatures will be coming down further across northern scotland, just around 11—12 degrees for some here. but for northern ireland, england and wales, still above average, but those temperatures are getting a little bit closer to the seasonal norms. 1a degrees, for example, is about right in london. and eventually we should get down there on tuesday. a lot of dry weather for many into next week.
