New Ford Car Automatically Obeys Speed Limits 3/27

Recently inventors at Ford Have thought of a new system called the 'Intelligent speed limiter.' The system is built into the newest edition of the S-Max car. The car has "a new technology that scans traffic signs and adjusts the throttle to help drivers stay within legal speed limits and avoid fines." This system was first shown in Germany by Ford of Europe on Tuesday March 24th. Although it was created in German, Ford of Europe said that the car will be offered to customers all throughout the world. "The system does not apply the brakes but smoothly controls engine torque by electronically adjusting the amount of fuel delivered," the company said in a press release." This new technology could either fix many problems or cause many more problems.

"Huge marijuana bust at California border crossing nets 15 tons"

Last week, the Federal police in California found 15 tons of marijuana in the back of a semi labeled "mattresses and cushions." The truck came from Mexico and the Border Police said the x-ray of the truck didn't look right. Inside the truck, there were 1,296 plastic packages of weed that weighed 31,598 lbs and is estimated to be worth 18.96 million dollars. At a U.S. border crossing, this is the second largest weed bust in history. The first was in 2013 when the bust was weighed at 17.6 tons or 35,265 lbs.  Below is a photo taken at the bust.
