Doctors performed the world's first [successful penis transplant](<https://gizmodo.com/surgeons-perform-first-successful-penis-transplant-in-t-1776843260?utm_campaign=socialflow_gizmodo_twitter&utm_source=gizmodo_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow>)? Sports car companies have been performing failed transplants for years. ([Gizmodo](<https://gizmodo.com/surgeons-perform-first-successful-penis-transplant-in-t-1776843260?utm_campaign=socialflow_gizmodo_twitter&utm_source=gizmodo_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow>))

I disagree somewhat with this "[Complete Timeline to Self-Driving Cars](<https://www.recode.net/2016/5/16/11635628/self-driving-autonomous-cars-timeline>)" but I highly recommend reading it for yourself. A lot of heavyweights chimed in here. ([Recode](<https://www.recode.net/2016/5/16/11635628/self-driving-autonomous-cars-timeline>))

"This Apple/Didi deal makes Icahn's investment in Lyft stand out even more. It's quite unusual for him. Curious about the backstory." ([Neil Cybart](<https://twitter.com/neilcybart/status/732247078622101504>))

I totally want an earpiece translator. [Totally](<https://www.waverlylabs.com/>). They're going to need some money to make it happen, though. A lot of money.

Is Greenwich, England the new Mountain View? ([Gizmag](<https://www.gizmag.com/london-self-driving-trials/43329/>))

U.S. Army [loses tank face-off](<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2016/05/16/in-nato-tank-competition-u-s-comes-up-short-against-germany/?tid=sm_tw>). Practice. Thoughts on this, [Tyler](<https://twitter.com/thewarzonewire>)?
