Driverless Cars – How Does Convenience Balance Against Future Risk?
The risks associated with driverless cars hit the news again following the death in Arizona of a pedestrian killed by a self-driving Uber, which although had a driver behind the wheel at the time was driving in autonomous mode. Uber has been testing self-driving vehicles in North America; the testing now suspended. In political science terms, the development of self-driving cars is ‘incrementalism’ – societal change that only happens gradually over a long period of time. Dr Keith Suter looks at driverless cars – what the future impacts could really be on society, our jobs and day to day lives. He also looks at the security aspects related to driverless cars. What are the security risks associated with cars on the roads that can be potentially controlled via the internet? Could these risks outweigh the benefits of convenience?
For more on the future of driverless cars, listen to PodcastOne’s ‘The Next Billion Seconds’ with Mark Pesce and the episode ‘S1 Ep 1 – Artificial Intelligence and Self Driving Cars’.

The Russian Spy Poisoning – How Does This Change The Spy Game?
The poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia on British soil has sparked off a diplomatic row between the United Kingdom and Russian governments. Was this poisoning at the order of Russian authorities or was it due to rogue elements within Russian security services?
Dr Keith looks at the background of poisoning in warfare. The history of its use dates back to early last century and has led to how it is used now. He also looks at the role of spies and how they are usually treated between countries in moments of dispute. If this poisoning is at the order of Russian President Putin and the Russian authorities then it changes the game on how countries take on each other with intelligence, along with the relationship between the United Kingdom and Russia. Dr Keith looks at what the real possible outcomes are from here.

Trump's Tariffs - Is This The Start Of A Global Trade War?

South Africa and The Confiscation Of White Land - How Did It Get To This?
The South African Parliament is now considering a change to the country's constitution to give the government the power to force the transfer of land ownership from white to black owners without compensation. With a new President in place this radical government policy could see South Africa go down the path of Zimbabwe, who under the leadership of former president Robert Mugabe saw the compulsory acquisition of white owned property and subsequent decades of declines in food production and resulting hyper-inflation.
How did South Africa get to this point? After the end of apartheid and Nelson Mandela's leadership, why has this still happened? Dr Keith Suter looks back at the Nelson Mandela era and the end of apartheid (along with Australia's initial objections to the end of apartheid in South Africa). He explains the current state of affairs and how it could play out from here.
