Limo Patriot Ride Revs Up For Military Cause

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — There’s no better way to finish out a convention experience in Las Vegas than to roar and ride out of town. For attendees at the 2017 International LCT Show, the Limo Patriot Ride provides that opportunity on March 15. 

The third annual ride, which raises money for the Semper Fi Fund, got a boost recently when the limousine operators who organize it received the Carla Boroday Humanitarian Award at the annual LCT People’s Choice Awards on Nov. 14. Since it launched after the 2015 International LCT Show, Limo Patriot Ride has raised $40,000. 

“This is a great cause and many people extend their LCT experience to go to the party the night before and then the ride,” said Barry Gross of Reston Limousine in Sterling, Va., one of the event’s organizers. “It also keeps people there through the end of the Show.”

Participants rent bikes from Eagle Rider Motorcycles of Las Vegas and then go on a scenic touring ride for several hours in the surrounding region, which includes the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. While Harley-Davidson brand motorcyles are the most popular, riders can choose from among Triumph, Indian, sport bikes, and various cruisers. About 50 riders participated in the each of the last two events.

The Ride formally kicks off the night before at a pre-ride party at the Venetian pool bar on March 15 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., following the conclusion of the three-day International LCT Show at 5 p.m.

Pennsylvania Unveils Guidelines For Driverless Cars

PennDot introduced recommendations Dec. 6 for self-driving vehicles, an emerging technology Pennsylvania wants to encourage.

“One of the main goals of this policy was to allow the technology to grow in an appropriate way, and to mature as it should,” said Leslie Richards, the state’s transportation secretary. “We don’t want to restrict that growth.”

Legislation that could pass next year would give PennDot wide latitude to regulate the development of autonomous vehicles in the state. The transportation department has sought a free hand in regulating the industry because, the report issued Tuesday stated, “the conventional oversight mechanisms, such as the formal regulatory process, are too slow and inflexible to keep pace with the fast‐changing technology.

The recommendations were the result of six months of deliberations by the state Autonomous Vehicle Task Force, a group that included government officials, engineers, industry personnel, advocates, and academics.  They are posted on PennDot’s website, and the department is hosting an online session Monday from 7 to 8 p.m. that will let the public offer comment.
