6. Patrick Lin (Cal Poly) in Wired on the moral problems with driverless cars (via Alexandra King).

9. Can coffee make you more ethical?
10. Panayiota Vassilopoulou (Liverpool) will be exploring “mutual ways in which philosophical reflection and art can transform us” as the first “philosopher-in-residence” at the Bluecoat arts center.
