Good News: A Boy Finds a Long-Lost Wedding Ring, and Using A.I. to Prevent Deer Collisions

Here are a few more Good News stories making the rounds . . .

1.  A nine-year-old boy named Rivers found a lost wedding ring while looking for shark teeth in South Carolina.  He showed it to his dad, and they went online and tried to figure out who it belonged to.

It turns out it was lost a YEAR ago, when a woman accidentally dropped it while wading in the water during a boating trip.  She and her husband said they had lost ALL hope of it ever being found . . . and they were THRILLED that Rivers discovered it and returned it.

2.  Could A.I. be used to prevent collisions between vehicles and deer?  Two seniors at a high school in Virginia have been hard at work on a device that could steer deer away from cars.  And they’ve received a $15,000 grant to develop it.

The system would recognize vehicles and deer through computer vision . . . and then “send out pulses and bio-sound” to turn the deer away.

3.  A smart watch helped save a 49-year-old swimmer’s life after he got stuck in rough ocean waters in Australia last weekend.  He used the emergency function on the watch as he was struggling to tread water.
