Japanese cyclists can take advantage of a robotic system for parking their bikes.

Editor Greg Roughan's reading list this week is all about transport: cars with no drivers, robots that park bicycles, why diesel is a bad idea and what low oil prices mean for the environment.

  •  If you’re like me and think you’ll teach your young kids to drive one day – you might think again after reading about Google’s driverless cars
  •  On the subject of automation, how about this awesome robotic bike parking system from Japan! 
  •  It’s always interesting to read what the Economist thinks about sustainability – you get a no-bull read (like this article on oil prices). 
  •  And have you been shocked by the VW scandal? Some UK politicians are now regretting their country’s move to using diesel.
