Can Google Eliminate Traffic?

Probably not right now, but it can prevent you from sitting in traffic. 

If you've never heard of Google Maps or Waze , you've probably spent a lot time asking for directions. Google has married the best of Waze and its maps to create the ultimate crowd sourced resource for traffic Information about car accidents, traffic.  The information will come from the 50 million global users of Waze, the social-mapping app that Google bought in June for $1.1 billion. I have been a huge fan for a while and I use Waze over my cars builtin navigation. In my opinion Waze should be the standard. The police alerts are great and a usually spot on.  If you don't have it - download it. 

Tesla's Stock Electrifies Shareholders

It's not a secret, I love the Tesla Model S. I have been seeing them pop up everywhere and I want one.
I wasn't surprised to hear the Tesla's stock soared 13% after reporting a profit. The company has sold 5,000 Models S's in Q3 and estimates 21,000 for the year. Analyst expect to see the numbers double in a year, as demand increases for the electric luxury vehicles. This will be assisted as better financing deals are provided and charging stations (w/ battery swap ) appear.
Next year, Tesla plans to introduced the falcon-winged  Model X, an SUV with a 5.0 second zero to 60 time. Need I say more.
