The investment, which will be spread over five years, comes on top of $50 million Toyota announced earlier for artificial intelligence research at Stanford and MIT.
Toyota said its interest extended beyond autonomous driving, which is starting to be offered by some automakers and being promised by almost all of them. The technology was pointing to a new industry for everyday use, delivering a safer lifestyle overall, it said…

Welcome to the weekend and some of the best personal finance and investing articles from the blogosphere for your reading enjoyment. I can’t wait for the weekend myself. I have a bunch of work to do but on Saturday afternoon I’m not going to think about it or care about it; my #REDBLACKS with a win will be in the CFL East final. It should be a rockin’ atmosphere for the game at TD Place!
Earlier this week I provided some buy and hold and buy more of advice: ETFs and stocks to own for your portfolio. Of the stocks I listed, Telus increased their dividends this week. So did Sun Life, even though it wasn’t on my list. I also had some fun with some email requests for content on my site.
Enjoy these articles about housing corrections (which I don’t think is coming in Toronto or Vancouver), tax loss planning for 2015, fearing the stock market and much more.
This Globe and Mail article said some housing markets are ripe for a correction…
