In Bhopal, India, a place nestled in between the royally pink city of Jaipur and the dry (i.e., alcohol forbidden) state of Gujarat, is a team of developers determined to make a fully driverless car suitable to the complexities of Indian traffic.

According to a press release from the NYC Health Department on December 22, "The illness was mild, short-lived, and has resolved."
