You're looking at an original 1969 Ford Econoline 200 Supervan Coachman Conversion type-B camper. This is a beautiful machine that wears authentic California coast patina of its original blue paint. You can't fake this look! The old girl has aged gracefully, maintaining the integrity of the metal with only surface rusting in areas of the body as shown in the pictures. The body panels are straight and show no sign of any past body work. You will notice the only two significant dents in the pictures: one on the hood, and one near the rear passenger-side taillight. I wouldn't touch the look of this Supervan in the slightest bit, but of course- that is up to you:) The van is solid with no structural rusting or holes anywhere. It has the original low-mileage 302 V8 with the "three on the tree" manual transmission. The van starts right up and drives down the road well. The brakes, suspension, transmission, and clutch were all recently inspected and operate as intended. I wouldn't hesitate to drive the old girl across the country! In fact, I'll drive it to the new owner for a small fee (please contact me BEFORE you bid if you'd like me to do this). The interior is in decent original shape. The seats show the wear and tear of 45 years of age with rips and such, but are just fine for sitting on for road tripping. The driver's side is covered with a fur cover that does its job. The carpet in the rear area is in very clean condition (see pictures). I have never used the coach features (sink, stove, oven, etc) and so cannot speak to their condition. It all looks good and functional, but I would have the propane lines and tank pressure tested and the water tank inspected before attempting to use them. The glass is all intact with only minor chipping in a couple spots on the windshield. The tires are decent, but show some weather checking from age. The exhaust is a bit loud and may have a leak somewhere or may simply need a new muffler. It isn't obnoxious or anything, just a bit louder than it should be. The steering is manual and therefore stiff, but the van is easy to handle on the road. I have an application for California title signed and ready to transfer to the new owner. This is an easy process in California, but may be more difficult in other states (please do your own research). Unfortunately, the registered owner of this fine vehicle has past away, so no other documentation can be filled out by him. Before his death he filled out and signed an application for California title (lost title) form. This is what the new owner will receive. If you are an out of state buyer and would like a clear California title I can accommodate, but at the expense of some time and money (about $350 and two weeks to do this). If you would require this service, please contact me BEFORE you bid.

Uber releases fleet of self-driving vehicles to select few in Pittsburgh

Wed, Sep 14 2016

Starting today, a select group of Uber users in Pittsburgh, PA will have the ability to request a self-driving vehicle. If a self-driving vehicle is in the area, Uber will send it, as well as a safety driver, to drive loyal customers to their destination. The announcement to give customers the opportunity to get a ride in one of Uber's self-driving vehicles comes roughly a year and a half after the company set up its Advanced Technologies Center in the city. On Tuesday, the company offered a few members of the press the opportunity to ride in one of the company's self-driving cars. The fleet, despite Uber's collaboration with Volvo, was comprised of 14 Ford Fusions equipped with a host of self-driving technology, reports TechCrunch. Uber is giving away free rides as a way to obtain real-world testing, which is crucial for self-driving technology. Recently, nuTonomoy beat Uber to the punch by launching the world's first autonomous taxis in Singapore. While the choice to release its self-driving cars in Pittsburgh mainly comes down to the fact that its ATC is located there, the city faces four seasons and its difficult streets that are comprised of bridges, railroad lines, and an irregular grid layout will prove to be a challenge for the autonomous cars. Since the self-driving vehicles are still being tested, the cars will come with two full-time Uber employees. One employee will loosely grasp the car's steering wheel, ready to take over if something goes awry, while the other will monitor the computer's software. As TechCrunch points out, Uber's autonomous vehicles drove in a similar manner to a regular driver. It obeyed traffic laws, mimicked a driver by coming to stops gently and at other times abruptly, as well as driving slightly into another lane to dodge a poorly-parked vehicle, reports TechCrunch. There's no word on whether regular Uber customers will get a ride in one of the company's Fusions or one of the Volvo's that its working on. Automakers and companies alike have been in a race to put autonomous vehicles on the road. Tesla recently updated its Autopilot system, Apple laid off dozens of employees to reboot its self-driving car project, and Google is working giving its autonomous vehicle the ability to detect emergency vehicles. While this is a large step for Uber, vehicles with autonomous capabilities still have a long way to go.
