[ { "role": "user", "content": "According to a study from the University of Chicago and Rice University, Uber and Lyft have increased the number of traffic deaths by 2-3% since 2011, about 1,100 fatalities a year.

Traffic deaths hit a 60-year low in 2010, but the trend reversed as Uber and Lyft gained popularity (there is a bump whenever Uber and Lyft enter a new city). Researchers say it \"may be too soon to tell whether the effect we document is a short-term adjustment or a longer-term pattern.\"" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Uber and Lyft are behind a sharp rise in US traffic deaths" } ]

The Vegebot is trained on images of ripe crops and is able to tell which crops are ready for harvest with a visual scan. A second component focuses on harvesting the crop without damage so that it is supermarket ready.
