Look! No Hands (or Feet) ; Not So Heroic
Look! No Hands (or Feet)
It's not widely known yet, but a revolution is happening on our roads. Self-driving cars have arrived in Australia. They're Teslas fitted with updated software which means drivers can travel from A to B with their hands off the wheel and their feet off the pedals. There's no doubt the technology seems impressive, but as Amelia Adams discovers, that doesn't guarantee it's safe, or even that it works all the time. In America self-driving Teslas have been involved in serious crashes, a number fatal. So what are Australia's road and vehicle regulators doing to stop similar tragedies happening here? As it turns out, not much.

Not So Heroic
Anyone who looks up to the sky and sees a Westpac rescue helicopter flying by will quite likely spare a thought for the heroes onboard, dedicated to saving lives 24/7. While people often believe these famous choppers are all part of one operation, in fact there are a number of different rescue entities dotted around the country. Unfortunately, not all of them are as heroic as Australians think. In this joint 60 Minutes, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age investigation, the northern New South Wales Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service faces damning allegations of a toxic and hazardous work environment, relentless bullying, sexual harassment and, equally troubling, a lack of safety compliance.
