Sources say the Toronto Raptors will retire Vince Carter’s #15 jersey this season.

Roads in South Africa have reopened after a weekend of unusually heavy snowfall.

The N3 highway connects Johannesburg and the port city of Durban was closed and many drivers were left stranded on Saturday. The route is one of South Africa’s busiest. Hundreds of motorists were stranded and at least one person died of hypothermia


Nissan‘s new cars and trucks are going to feature a warning if they are being driven too slow in the left lane.

ProPilot Assist will sound and make sure slower drivers stay in the right lane so others can pass on the left.

This second-generation version of the ProPiolot system is literally a hands-on system — your hands need to be detected physically on the steering wheel to work. It also features adaptable speed according to the vehicle ahead, and lane-centering. There is also a camera mounted on the steering column to track the driver’s attention by watching where they’re looking. If the driver looks away from the road ahead for more than a passing glance, the system will complain and, eventually, deactivate.
