Written By: Jordan Weekday
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are a car designed to reduce the amount of deaths in a car accident.

From great new games like God of War 4 or South Park: The Fractured But Hole to games that we’re not exactly certain about like Yooka-Laylee. Here’s the highlights and the lowlights from E3! Read More
