The Port of Felixstowe is expanding its autonomous truck fleet to 100 vehicles, demonstrating that autonomous driving delivers value first in controlled industrial environments rather than on public roads. Mark Wilson ar…
Apple's self-driving car project, Project Titan, did not result in a commercial vehicle but led to the development of the Neural Engine, which debuted in the iPhone X in 2017. The Neural Engine now powers on-device AI pr…
The Russian military has used AI-powered kamikaze drones to strike a Ukrainian port, hitting at least four vessels in an effort to disrupt Ukraine's weapons transport capabilities. The attack, part of Russia's ongoing ca…
Apple's failed self-driving car program led to the development of the Neural Engine, which became the backbone of its on-device AI processing. The company is now accelerating development of the M7 Ultra chip, expected in…
Coinbase, Lyft, and Axon are making strategic moves beyond the AI-driven 'Magnificent Seven' stocks, with Lyft expanding into robotaxis and Axon developing advanced Taser technology, highlighting broader market innovatio…
The Australian Army has tested the Vector AI drone, refined using combat data from Ukraine, to enhance target detection and electronic warfare resilience. Developed by Germany's Quantum Systems, the drone has over 20,000…
A shirtless man climbed onto a Waymo autonomous vehicle and smashed it in a crowded Los Angeles street, leading to his arrest. The incident sparked online debate about whether his actions were driven by frustration over …
The UN's AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva showcased robots and AI applications while diplomats in an adjacent room debated rules for lethal autonomous weapons. UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for an inter…
Kraken has relaunched its mobile app with integrated agentic trading bots, allowing users to run automated trading strategies directly on their phones without separate infrastructure. This move normalizes autonomous agen…
OpenIngress, an open-source tool that audits whether autonomous agents can complete real buyer flows on e-commerce sites, launched on GitHub. It crawls rendered pages, runs static operability checks, and simulates agent-…
London tested its first driverless bus on public roads, an Ohmio autonomous pod that follows a fixed route in Barnes, south west London. The vehicle, which weighs only three tonnes, is being considered as a solution for …
Waymo's autonomous vehicles in Los Angeles have drawn praise for convenience and safety but also sparked backlash for obnoxious behavior, including late-night honking and collisions with a cat and a child. The company fa…
Researchers proposed a safety-constrained AI framework integrating perception and control to improve autonomous UAV navigation in dense environments. The framework uses a Lagrangian-based safe Proximal Policy Optimizatio…
