Bollywood superstar Kareena Kapoor recently joked that she should be given some credit for providing a financial boost to the Indian Railways. The actor said that her role as ‘Geet’ in the movie ‘Jab We Met‘ has resulted in a spike in the revenue for the railways.

Kareena Kapoor said it during a recent episode of ‘Case Toh Banta Hai’. While speaking in Hindi, the actor claimed that the sale of ‘harem pants’ and ‘revenue’ of the Indian Railways increased after she portrayed ‘Geet’ on the big screen in the movie ‘Jab We Met,’ which was directed by Imtiaz Ali.

The film ‘Jab We Met’ was released in 2007, and had Shahid Kapoor as the male lead opposite Kareena Kapoor. The movie was a big box-office success and was praised by critics too. In the movie, the train sequence plays an important part. Kareena (Geet) first meets Shahid (Aditya) on a train. Later, Shahid Kapoor helps Kareena Kapoor after the actor misses her train two times in the movie. It was in this regard that the actor joked about her contribution to the Indian Railways.

In the episode, when Varun Sharma, who plays the role of Kareen’s attorney, asks the actor to be more serious about her court appearances, she again quotes a dialogue in Hindi. She says, “Sikhni hu main Bathinda ki,” meaning she is a Sikh woman from Bathinda, and she knows everything, be it catching a train or winning a case.

Robotaxi: Amazon-owned co gears up to test self driving vehicle

Zoox

Zoox, a self-driving technology firm owned by Amazon.com Inc, said it was gearing up to launch its robotaxi business, self-certifying that its vehicle with no pedals or steering wheel meets US federal regulations and applying for a permit in California to test-drive it.

Seating

Zoox’s vehicle, called VH6, has room for four passengers, with two facing each other – a layout that looks like startup Cruise’s Origin vehicle unveiled in January, 2020. Cruise is controlled by General Motors Co

Produced

The VH6 is produced in Zoox’s ‘Kato’ factory in Fremont, California, a city where Tesla also builds its cars. The factory has produced dozens of VH6s and the current location can produce tens of thousands of vehicles

Objective

The aim of the company is to compete with Uber and Lyft and make money and be very cost competitive even in the early days of this technology.

Exemption

Generally self-driving tech companies with vehicles without a steering wheel or pedals have applied to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for an exemption. Zoox chose instead to self-certify according to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, acknowledging this was a higher bar that makes Zoox liable for the safety of the vehicle.
