Scientists disagree when the Thwaites or Doomsday Glacier will fully melt, but they are starting to weigh up large scale interventions.
Tesla began rolling out a significant update to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software on Saturday, shifting the city-streets driving system to a single, end-to-end neural network model in FSD version 12.5.6.3.
Last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company’s FSD technology “is now almost entirely AI.” In early October, Musk had stated that FSD “will soon exceed 10,000 miles between critical interventions, which is a year of driving for most people.”
With its unique design consisting of two wheels and gripper arms, evoBOT keeps itself balanced while performing a range of tasks.
EvoBOT, a uniquely shaped autonomous mobile robot, recently completed its first test runs at the Munich Airport.
Swiss scientists set a record with the longest hyperloop journey testing, simulating high-speed travel in a low-pressure tube.
He has frequently voiced concerns over the Biden administration’s approach to immigration and the economy, and claimed free speech would be at risk with another Democrat presidency.
As one of the president-elect’s most important backers, the tech billionaire donated more than $119m (£92m) to fund a Super PAC aimed at re-electing Trump.
He also spent the last weeks before election day running a get-out-the-vote effort in the battleground states, which included a daily giveaway of $1m to voters in those states.
While many smoking rooms in U.S. airports have closed in recent years, they are still common in other airports around the world. These lounges can be ventilated, but how much does it actually help the dispersion of smoke?
Australia has served up a Secure Innovation Placemat [PDF].
The wide variance in the documents is by design: each Five Eyes nation chose its own approach, although the campaign is a coordinated effort that is billed as “consistent and consolidated advice reflecting both the globalized and interconnected tech startup ecosystem as well as the global nature of the security threats startups face.” And everybody uses placemats.
Whether this advice will break through the “move fast and break things” culture that many startups nurture is anyone’s guess. The Register has reported on security and resilience troubles in the early years at Uber and Lyft, GitLab, and at OpenAI.
The XB-1, nicknamed the “Son of Concorde,” is a single-seat demonstrator plane manufactured by Boom Technology, reports The Jerusalem Post.
Toyota known for its hybrid innovation, has been cautious with fully electric vehicles (EVs), only launching its first EV, the bZ4X, in 2022.
Solid-state batteries are smaller and more durable, making them well-suited to daily fast charging and capable of carrying additional weight, like extra passengers or cargo. This technology has been difficult to scale up, but Toyota’s strong financial base and reputation for reliability position it uniquely to introduce these advanced batteries to the mainstream.
Historically, Toyota’s innovative, consumer-friendly designs, such as fuel-efficient cars in the 1970s and hybrids in the 1990s, have revolutionized the auto industry. Now, Toyota’s solid-state battery development could do the same, potentially transforming EVs from niche to mainstream by offering greater efficiency, performance, and convenience.
Tesla has created a new racing vehicle with a non-fuel engine, one that doesn’t rely on electricity or hydrogen to deliver sustainability and high performance.
