OUR TROOPS NEED UNMANNED SUPPLY
TRUCKS
The armed forces have had unmanned aircraft for a
long time now, but it is just recently they realized
that they need unmanned supply trucks.
Getting the drivers out of the supply trucks looks like
it will
save 1 soldier's life a day, every day.
A spin off of this technology, when applied to
cars, busses, and trucks on US roads could save 166
of your neighbors lives a day, every
day. That is roughly 5,000 lives a month,
every month.
Measured in the number of lives that can be
saved, I think volunteering to work on solving this
problem is a very important use of my spare
time. It is more work than what one person
can do, so I am looking for people willing to volunteer
two or more hours a week of their spare time to help
save lives.
Just think, by doing something as simple as
keeping the shop floor clean, or making a few telephone
calls, you would be helping the team move toward its
goal of discovering what it takes to make a US Army
supply truck drive itself safely.
Do you know of anyone who could
help?
One of the spin-offs of this all volunteer
project is the possibility that our work will
create good paying jobs for ourselves and our
neighbors here in Michigan.
Contact me and tell me what you are willing to do
to help.
