- For the 28th year, Walker Furniture's "Home for the Holidays" program, is assisting individuals and families in need in Clark County. Walker Furniture is seeking nomination letters from the community through Dec. 6. The search will provide 35 recipients with a houseful of new furniture. Anyone in the community can submit a letter including first responders, teachers, health care professionals, social service workers, clergy, friends, neighbors, and family members. (News3LV)
- New Las Vegas car service company Halo uses technology — not physical drivers — to get vehicles to its customers. Halo founder and CEO Anand Nandakumar says the company targets people who might be early technology adopters but aren't yet ready to let a robot take full control. He estimates fully self-driving cars are more than a decade away, and that Halo provides a bridge between then and now. (KNPR)
