It was during the Middle Ages (300-1000 AD), that various distinctive forms of art began to emerge in western Europe. A variety of significant mosaics, buildings and other forms of art came from this time that continue to be analyzed in the present. In the book Early Medieval Art, Lawrence Nees successfully provides an intricate interpretation of these various art forms that developed in this time in history while allowing the reader to conceptualize the emerging cultures of the first millennium in Europe. Nees is able to do this by outlining key aspects of the studied works of art that symbolize how life was at this point in history. At the beginning of his book, it is apparent that Nees seeks to provide a less traditional view on art at this time when he states, “I offer a different story of early medieval art in place of the more traditional tale of the decline of Rome and triumph of Christianity”. Nees’ thesis is subsequently inexplicitly stated to analyze the role of tradition in early medieval western art and its transformation as time progressed. By following a non-conventional thesis when writing this book, Nees is able to contribute a new perspective into the overall topic of medieval art.

Tesla is taking a different approach while designing their self-driving cars. Tesla has introduced the computer vision-based vehicle detection system instead of using the traditional radar. The new Tesla cars contain eight surround cameras which are capable to see 360 degrees around the car. The main forward camera covers 150m of distance. These autonomous cars can see any object within 250 meters of it’s range. Tesla autonomous cars have the ultrasonic sensors and a forward-facing radar which are very advanced technology and they help the car to see through heavy rain and fog. This technology will help prevent road accidents during extreme weathers. Another impressive addition of the new Tesla cars is the neural net for visibility.
