Today, Waymo and Uber are announcing an expanded partnership to bring the Waymo One experience to Austin and Atlanta, only on the Uber app, beginning in early 2025.
After multiple rounds of layoffs in 2022 and 2023, Nuro is pivoting its business strategy to focus more on the startup’s core autonomous driving
Zoox has gone all-in on a vehicle with no steering wheel as competitors start with less ambitious car designs.
With antibiotics losing their effectiveness, one company is turning to gene editing and bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—to combat infections.
Uber drivers are anxiously awaiting a future in which robotaxis could make their jobs obsolete, as The Register reports.
In total, Waymo has reported nearly 200 crashes, which works out to about one crash every 100,000 miles. Waymo says 43 percent of crashes across San Francisco and Phoenix had a delta-V of less than 1 mph—in other words, they were very minor fender-benders.
I took a careful look at Waymo’s latest crash data.
Mobileye (Nasdaq: MBLY) has chosen to end the internal development of next-generation frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) lidars for use in aut
Tesla changes how they advertise and sell FSD on their website, we look to see what the future might bring. Read on inside.
Engineers are scrambling to prevent disaster, but is it too late after decades of neglect?
The 72-cell panels, comprised of Oxford PV’s proprietary perovskite-on-silicon solar cells, can produce up to 20% more energy than a standard silicon panel.
Oxford PV has been developing and working to commercialise this technology since 2014, with a recent module efficiency record of 26.9%
20% more powerful tandem solar panels enter commercial use for the first time in the US

Better light polarization data improves driving ability by 10 percent
South Korea summit to target 'blueprint' for using AI in the military
Eastern equine encephalitis, which has a high mortality rate, is becoming more common in North America as climate changes expands the habitats of insects.
Under protective coverings, piles of snow can be stored for a surprisingly long time, allowing ski resorts to mitigate some of the lack of snowfall caused by climate change.
I had the same reaction on the first two. Humanoid robot is just self driving with much more complexity and moving parts. Teledriving, though sounds cool isn't practical, now that we're already starting to reach L4 self-driving. It also looks incredibly unsafe in case the vehicle loses data connection and can't safely come to a stop.
Yes, I think they're required to report any incidents to the DMW.
Things are likely to remain volatile and unpredictable. And that’s okay.
Summary:
Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are using AI to develop a more efficient method for producing green hydrogen. The researchers have been searching for the optimal alloy or metal combination to act as a catalyst, aiming to make the reaction more efficient and affordable. The AI program analyzed over 36,000 metal oxide combinations through virtual simulations and tested the top candidate in the lab. The recommended alloy of ruthenium, chromium, and titanium emerged as the clear winner, demonstrating 20 times better stability and durability than the benchmark metal.
Yes, their data does count battery storage as operating capacity. Isn't that a useful metric though, since batteries will complement the grid during solar downtime?
In a recent interview, they said it'll be one city at a time due to mapping constraints. Also they're looking to lower costs while maintaining safety.
There are around 100,000 EVs in Ethiopia so far.
The Ethiopian government estimates that number will more than quadruple by 2032. That’s largely because the national government took the extraordinary step earlier this year of banning the import of all gas-powered passenger vehicles — becoming the first nation in the world to do so.
Thanks for informing
Tier IV's business model is important in this regard. The company has open-sourced its autonomous driving software, Autoware, so that it can be freely downloaded and used by companies and research institutions.
By involving engineers and researchers from all over the world, Tier IV hopes to rapidly advance autonomous driving technology while keeping development costs down.
This feels so true at this point..
I get creeped out even answering to an AI bot screening phone support calls. Having video AI interviewer is a whole another level of creep.
They do have option for FSD transfers already. Looks like their vision model is getting complex to optimise for HW3 so HW4 would definitely help. But there's still no guarantee FSD on HW4 will work flawlessly, and how much "Elon time" it's gonna take to get there.
Ah, got it.

Probably means the solutions to plastic crap are wild/crazy/unconventional ideas implying "loony".
Will this new system only work with Zeekr, or their existing Jaguar vehicles as well?
We had a technical issue that impacted the federation with other instances. It's resolved now so there's more visibility.
Right? AI chatbots are so bad with hallucinations. As a programmer I can usually spot the inaccurate code chatbot is spewing, but these kids won't be able to spot the inaccuracy unless there's very strict quality control..which would require human teachers anyway.
I hope never lol
