The dream of computer-driven cars taking over the roads remains a fantasy. But slowly, and maybe more modestly than tech idealists imagined, driverless vehicles are getting real. After a period of funk that included a pandemic-related freeze on road tests, driverless car developments have been coming thick and fast in the last few weeks.
A car wash supplier will soon be represented on the kart racing track. EverWash announced its sponsorship of kart racing championship contender Vivek Kanthan for his 2020-2021 racing season. Following an impressive rookie season in 2019, Vivek is currently ranked #3 nationally for his category in the United States, and was New York’s State champion in his rookie campaign.

A haunted car wash is coming to Jacksonville, Florida, for only two days in October. Island Time Haunted Carwash is holding the event on Oct. 29 and 30. The haunted car wash experience is free and there will be other giveaways all night.
In honor of the spooky season, Quick Quack Car Wash in Katy, Texas, will be adding some frightening features to its traditional drive-through car cleaning service. The Quick Quack location will hold its second annual Haunted Car Wash October 28-30. Virus-wary trick-or-treaters can score some good, socially distanced scares from the safety of their own vehicles and get a good scrub in the process.

The folks at Autobahn Car Wash in Kennewick, Washington, are inviting some of the spookiest Halloween characters to its Tri-Cities location for some good 'ole scary fun. This season they've decided to do an after-hours drive-thru scary car wash. Owner Chad Baker says he wanted to do something to keep the Halloween spirit alive and he and his employees have gone all out with costumes and decor.
A car wash in Lexington, Kentucky, is using its Tunnel of Terror to create a socially distanced haunted house. Volunteers and workers at the Rainstorm Car Wash will be scaring anyone who dares go through the tunnel. The event won't be just about the scares. They are partnering up with Hope Center, a local food pantry to help collect canned goods for those in need.

Many people run their entire lives on a faulty operating system. It’s called the to-do list. To-do list devotees keep a running register of all the things they promise to get done, but at the end of the day, they’re surprised to find the list of uncompleted tasks has gotten longer, not shorter. You’ll find that using a schedule builder to make a weekly timeboxed calendar instead of relying on a to-do list is the right way to go.
There’s a lot that comedians — or, as Peter McGraw calls them, “the world’s least-professional professionals” — can offer to business leaders: “By emulating the funniest people,” he writes in his new book, Schtick to Business, “you can craft a better career and a smarter business.”

Marketing is a volatile landscape in which the only certainty is change, especially when it comes to digital marketing. Brands compete over increasingly short attention spans of potential and existing customers. Agile marketing helps startups create their own digital presence and reach prospective customers — so you better know how to make it work for you.

Mobile marketing has opened up an entirely new way to target and engage customers. With the right mobile marketing tool, a business can tailor its content to any number of targeted audiences. If a company has a few demographics as its target audience, it can drill down to a granular level and target them independently. However, not all businesses know how to make the best use of mobile marketing.
