AM General manufactured the M1123 Humvee for the US Marine Corps primarily as cargo or troop transports and several have very low mileage. Known for the OPTIMIZER 6500 engine, this model produces 205 HP and 440 ft-lbs. of torque. Other features include improved steering wheels, brakes, and bumpers as well as the capability to transport up to 4,400 lbs.

In addition, and to celebrate Veterans Day, IronPlanet has again partnered with Fisher House Foundation for this All-Humvee sale. A portion of the proceeds from the online auction will be donated to Fisher House Foundation, a charity that primarily supports a network of comfort homes where military and veterans' families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment. The Foundation also manages a grant program that supports other military charities and scholarship funds for military children, spouses and children of fallen and disabled veterans.

When:
Tuesday, November 15 2016 at 7: 00 a.m. PT.
Where:
Online at ironplanet.com and govplanet.com.

The mid-November auction features more than 400 Humvees. IronPlanet also offers Humvee buyers the opportunity to acquire a Form SF97, the US government-issued certificate that proves ownership and enables vehicle buyers to procure titles in states that allow it.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
