Imagine hitting the road in 2025 for a trip to see grandma then along the way an autonomous vehicle passes with a couple going at it inside—in the driver’s seat. 

People who try that today will likely die in a fiery crash before they reach that magical orgasmic moment. Eight to ten years from now it might not be an issue, scientists say, because the car or truck carrying the happy humpers will keep humming along safely to its destination. After all, self-driving vehicles are—to use the cliche—the wave of the future.

Here, from the Annals of Tourism Research, are some conclusions reached by researchers from the University of Surrey and the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom:

Tourism in the urban night is intricately connected to the hospitality industry. At the same time, violent crime and antisocial behaviour often take place in areas of busy nightlife (e.g. Bromley and Nelson, 2002), thus the intersection of automated mobility and the urban night demands systematic and place-specific analyses.

This might include questions of how prostitution, and sex more generally, in moving CAVs [Connected and Autonomous Vehicles], becomes a growing phenomenon. For instance, ‘hotels-by-the-hour’ are likely to be replaced by CAVs, and this will have implications for urban tourism, as sex plays a central role in many tourism experiences (e.g. Carr, 2016).

While SCAVs will likely be monitored to deter passengers having sex or using drugs in them, and to prevent violence, such surveillance may be rapidly overcome, disabled or removed. Moreover, personal CAVs will likely be immune from such surveillance. Such private CAVs may also be put to commercial use, as it is just a small leap to imagine Amsterdam’s Red Light District ‘on the move’

It’s one of those things that seems so obvious and awesome until the possibility of the kids getting an eyeful comes up, and that’s not good at all. 

So depending on the perspective, a future of tooling around down while getting it on isn’t necessarily a positive thing.

The same researchers did see some definite positives that might come about as self-driving cars and trucks become a normal part of life. They note that cities “may also encounter increases in attendance at events,” and “drunk-driving will no longer be an issue when riding in a CAV.”

The future is basically bright, then. But couples planning on doing the nasty while road-tripping should probably buy some shades.

Calling all sneaker junkies who just can’t get enough of all things sporty footwear—I have something you’re definitely going to want to get your hands on: Sneaker Freaker: The Ultimate Sneaker Book.

Published by Taschen, the book is a massive 650-plus page sneaker anthology, as the name makes blindingly obvious, with photos, history, random sneaker facts, and even a complete guide to Yeezy.

The book pays homage to the Australian magazine Sneaker Freaker, a.k.a. the sneaker bible for all those obsessed with athletic footwear, created by Simon ‘Woody’ Wood in 2002, who only started the mag as a way to score some free kicks. 

The magazine has “documented every collab, custom, limited edition, retro reissue, Quickstrike, Hyperstrike, and Tier Zero sneaker released over the last 15 years,” the press release elaborates.

Also edited by Wood, the book covers sneaker culture and history from the past 100 years, and analyzes the evolution of the industry, with every itty bitty detail and random fact thrown in for good measure. It is a complete visual (and otherwise) history of sneakers. 

With sections like “Sneaker Moments,” Sneaker History,” “Sneaker Advertising,” and a “Sneaker Index,” as well as sub-chapters such as “The Dad Shoe” and “Jordan Countdown” and literally anything and everything else, this is the ultimate coffee table book to gift that special sneakerhead in your life.

Sneaker Freaker. The Ultimate Sneaker Book drops later this month, but until then, you can pre-order your copy for $50 right here.

Looking for a ride that boasts classic muscle car looks and Tesla-like acceleration? Then hopefully you have a quarter-million bucks to drop on this all-electric, 1960s-style Ford Mustang. 

Charge Automotive is building a limited-run of 499 convertible and coupe ponies equipped with electric power plants capable of hitting 60 mph in just 3.09 seconds. That’s quicker than any production Mustang Ford has ever made. 

You’ll have to lay off the gas—or kilowatts, rather—if you want to maximize the EV’s 124-mile range. 

Inside, the London-based startup promises each example will have a “luxury bespoke interior” with state-of-the art components and a personalized digital interface.   

Other details like charge-time or max speed haven’t been released, but you can rest assured knowing the London-based startup’s engineers have quite a pedigree with experience on projects for Williams F1, McLaren, and Jaguar Land Rover.

For just under $6,500, you can reserve an electrified Mustang from Charge Automotive—just be ready to cough up another $250,000 when they begin shipping in September of 2019.

Jessica Naz is a small-town girl taking the modeling world by storm. 

Originally from Parker, Colorado, the DAS agency-repped beauty began her career at age 11 after being scouted at a local mall. 

Fast-forward 9 years, and Naz has graced this year’s May/June cover of Maxim France, an accomplishment she describes as a career highlight. Don’t be surprised to find her within the pages of another glossy mag in the near future. 

Get to know Naz’s biggest turn-ons, ideal date and all about her unrepentant love for churro ice cream below:

How can a man catch your attention?

A man who is respectful will always catch my attention. No one likes a creep. I also really appreciate a man who smells good or a man that can make me laugh until my stomach hurts.

What’s the worst pick-up line you’ve ever heard?

The worst pick up line I’ve ever heard has to be, “Are you a parking ticket? Cause you’ve got fine written all over you.” But I can’t deny that it made me laugh.

We’ve definitely heard worse. How do you let a man know you’re interested?

If I’m interested in someone, I’ll make it obvious. I don’t like to play games nor do I expect the man to do everything. I’m not trying to waste anyone’s time.

Describe your ideal date.

My ideal date would be a romantic dinner on the beach—cheesy, I know. But to me there is nothing better than quality time spent with the person you care about. And what better place to do that than next to the ocean? My guilty pleasure is a churro ice cream sandwich, so that would definitely top off my ideal date.

What about a man turns you on the most?

Respect and confidence. I want to be with someone that I can grow and build with. I’ve learned the hard way that if a man is lacking self confidence, there is no room to grow together. A man that supports me and my career as much as I support him is my biggest turn on.

When do you feel sexiest?

I feel the sexiest when I’m with my man or my girls. Nothing says sexy better than a girl who is genuinely happy and glowing.

Agreed. What’s the secret to a sexy selfie?

The secret to a sexy selfie is good angles and golden hour. But mostly golden hour.

You’re the first model to mention the golden hour. What’s your favorite thing to do in the bedroom?

Cuddling is my absolute favorite thing to do. I love to feel safe and close to my man in his arms.

What should a man never do in the bedroom?

A man should never wake me up too early. I love my sleep.

What’s your guiltiest pleasure?

My guiltiest pleasures are churro ice cream sandwiches and also Taco Bell. Maybe my ideal date is Taco Bell and a churro ice cream sandwich by the beach...

Being a jerk is a deeply-embedded part of Bill Maher’s brand. The problem with that is he sometimes bumbles into hornets’ nests of controversy and comes off looking like twice the jerk he was before, not some blunt truth-teller. 

With a recent blog post on the website for his HBO show, Real Time With Bill Maher, he took on the memory of Marvel comics icon Stan Lee and fans of comics in general. That was a bad idea.

In his post, Maher wrote the following:

The guy who created Spider-Man and the Hulk has died, and America is in mourning. Deep, deep mourning for a man who inspired millions to, I don’t know, watch a movie, I guess. Someone on Reddit posted, “I’m so incredibly grateful I lived in a world that included Stan Lee.” Personally, I’m grateful I lived in a world that included oxygen and trees, but to each his own.

Now, I have nothing against comic books – I read them now and then when I was a kid and I was all out of Hardy Boys. But the assumption everyone had back then, both the adults and the kids, was that comics were for kids, and when you grew up you moved on to big-boy books without the pictures.

But then twenty years or so ago, something happened – adults decided they didn’t have to give up kid stuff. And so they pretended comic books were actually sophisticated literature. And because America has over 4,500 colleges – which means we need more professors than we have smart people – some dumb people got to be professors by writing theses with titles like Otherness and Heterodoxy in the Silver Surfer. And now when adults are forced to do grown-up things like buy auto insurance, they call it “adulting,” and act like it’s some giant struggle.  

Maher went then wrote, “I’m not saying we’ve necessarily gotten stupider,” but that we “are using our smarts on stupid stuff.”

It doesn’t need to be pointed out why this made so many people mad. Of course there was the timing—Lee only died days ago—but the sneering tone was pretty ill-advised given that Marvel produces massively popular movies based on, you know, comic books. 

Author Neil Gaiman understood what Maher was doing and offered an acidly sarcastic dismissal.

Gaiman’s reaction summed up the spirit of many others.

The last tweet above was in reference to a subset of reactions to the controversy—those who wondered why no one thought to complain about Maher over a ton of other issues.

One tweeter probably put his finger on the true spirit behind Maher’s post.

This is probably where Stan Lee might have put the issue to rest with one of his classic phrases: “‘Nuff said.”
