Hollywood’s ‘princess’ Carrie Fisher dead at 60

Image
After decades of fast living that her fearless “Star Wars” character Princess Leia would have struggled to keep up with, Carrie Fisher died Tuesday, days after suffering a heart attack. She was 60. The American actress, best-selling author and screenwriter — who suffered from numerous addictions and later turned that into writing gold — was a member of Hollywood royalty, both on screen and off. Born in Los Angeles in October 1956, the daughter of actress Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher became an international star overnight with the release of ”Star Wars” in 1977. Leia was the tough rebel princess in a white dress with a strange hairdo and blaster guns, who was unafraid to stare down the villainous Darth Vader. Six years later in “Return of the Jedi,” she became a sex symbol in a barely-there metal bikini — but remained the tough heroine, killing her slug-like gangster jailer Jabba the Hutt by choking him with the chain he used to hold her captive.

Germany Launches Transparent Car

The world has changed and moving at a very fast pace to catch up with the future cars drive themselves and plane flight without human pilots. The big question among automakers is whether they will be the ones to provide new technologies — and profit from them — or will major tech companies like Google and Apple take a slice of the industry. For now, the two sides are balancing cooperation against competition as they gauge what the future holds. General Motors CEO Mary Barra succinctly expressed a common view, asserting that “we will see more change in the industry in the next five to 10 years than we have in the last 50.” Dieter Zetsche, the head of Daimler AG, described the car and technology companies as being “frenemies.” If Apple or Google starts making cars — something neither has said it intends to do — “then we are competitors.”  New technologies could lead to all sorts of innovations, such as real-time navigating around a slippery stretch of road and eliminating
