ANKARA Davis Webb Giants Jersey , Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- At least 28 people were killed and 61 others wounded in a car bomb attack targeting the Turkish military in the capital Ankara on Wednesday, Turkey's deputy prime minister and government spokesman said.
According to Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus, the government has so far no information on who carried out the attack.
Kurtulmus confirmed that the explosion was caused by a car bomb that targeted military vehicles carrying armed forces personnel.
"We do not yet know the perpetrators of this attack ... This attack did not only target our military personnel in those shuttles ... (it) openly targets out entire nation," the deputy prime minister said, vowing to pinpoint those behind the attack as soon as possible.
The deputy prime minister called on the international community to stand by Turkey, saying that "plain condemnations" are now not enough for Turkey.
The bomb targeted the housings in Ankara where shuttles for military personnel were awaiting, according to the Turkish military, triggering two explosions near a military compound of the headquarters of the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces, local NTV news broadcaster reported.
News footages showed a large plume of smoke rising into the sky from a large fire at the explosion site. The area is also near the Turkish parliament in central Ankara.
The government has banned on domestic reporting of the incident.
The attack happened at a time when a high-level security meeting, hosted by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was being held at the Presidential Palace.
Erdogan has canceled his meeting to a Azerbaijan delegation on Thursday, while Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also canceled his visit to Brussels later on Wednesday evening.
The Turkish General Staff said there were military personnel among the casualties, as the explosion was caught on surveillance cameras near the scene.
Turkey has suffered from a series of deadly attacks. In July 2015, a bomb attack in the border town of Suruc in southeastern Turkey left 34 pro-Kurdish and left-wing activists killed. In October, twin suicide bombings in Ankara claimed a total of 103 lives. Both were blamed on the Islamic State (IS) militant group.
On Jan. 16, 11 people, all German tourists, were killed when a suicide bomber affiliated with the IS attacked the tourist heart of Istanbul.
LONDON, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- A project that will pave the way for visually impaired people to drive vehicles on Monday won 29 million U.S. dollars funding from the British government.
The funding of eight innovative projects is the first allocation of cash from the government's 143-million-U.S.-dollar Intelligent Mobility Fund.
It will pay towards research and the development of enhanced communication between vehicles and roadside infrastructure or urban information systems, including new "talking car technologies."
Insight, a project to develop driverless shuttles with advanced sensors and control systems, has won funding for a three-year project backed by Birmingham City University.
The all-British consortium aims to establish Britain at the forefront of driverless vehicle technology for testing driverless vehicles with a particular emphasis on the mobility requirements of blind and visually impaired users.
Julian Turner, CEO Westfield Sportscars, lead company in the consortium, said: "What is exciting about this project is that a number of visually impaired people have been part of the team. The input from them has been invaluable in coming up with a model that meets their specific needs."
"This really will mean people who are blind or visually impaired having access to a mobility never imagined previously. They will be able to board their vehicle, set the co-ordinates of their journey and their vehicle will take them there, safely," he added.
Umar Daraz, of Birmingham City University, said: "driverless vehicles for mobility of all of our citizens will become a reality in the very near future and this project represents a major milestone in realizing that vision."
Government Business Secretary Sajid Javid announced the first allocation of funds on a visit to the autonomous vehicles test bed in Nuneaton.
As well as the development of autonomous shuttles to carry visually-impaired passengers using advanced sensors and control systems, the projects include new simulation trials for autonomous pods to increase uptake and improve real-world trials.
Trials to test driverless cars on the streets are currently being worked on in Bristol, Coventry and Milton Keynes and Greenwich. Autonomous vehicles are also being used in Heathrow to shuttle passengers, although these are currently on designated tracks.
A spokesman for the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills said: "Today's funding will help strengthen the UK as a global centre for the fast-growing intelligent mobility market, estimated to be worth 900 billion pounds per year globally by 2025."
Secretary Javid said: "Our cars of the future will be equipped with the technologies that will make getting from A to B safer, faster, and cleaner."
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said: "These projects will help profoundly change the way we travel within years, transforming our roads by making travel a simpler experience for drivers, reducing accidents and helping traffic flow more smoothly."
"This is a landmark moment and will allow Britain to lead the way in the testing of connected and autonomous vehicles," he added.
The largest of the eight projects to be funded, receiving just over 8 million dollars, is the UK Connected Intelligent Transport Environment (UKCITE) project to create the most advanced environment for testing connected and autonomous vehicles. It involves equipping over 40 miles (64.3 km) of urban roads, dual-carriageways and motorw Summertime is th.
