Waymo announced that it will launch an autonomous taxi service in Dallas next year, marking another key city deployment following Los Angeles and San Francisco. The company has formed a strategic partnership with Avis Budget Group, which will handle the charging and maintenance of the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace fleet. Waymo has completed preliminary testing in Dallas and plans to gradually expand its fleet to hundreds of vehicles. Currently, Waymo is operating commercially in five U.S. cities and plans to expand to Washington D.C. and Miami next year. This collaboration

Recently, researchers at the University of Tokyo found that the application of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in taxi drivers, especially for those with lower skills, helps improve their work efficiency. This study revealed a surprising trend: AI can not only help high-skilled workers but, in some cases, can significantly enhance the performance of low-skilled workers and narrow the skill gap. Image source notes: The image was generated by AI, and the image authorization service provider is Midjourney. The research team focused on taxi drivers in Yokohama City, Japan, analyzing...

A characteristic widely regarded as a flaw of artificial intelligence - 'hallucination' - has surprisingly become key to scientific breakthroughs. According to Fortune magazine, Professor David Baker, one of the winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, achieved significant research breakthroughs using the 'hallucination' feature of AI models. Professor Baker, from the University of Washington, is the only American scientist among this year's three Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry. He successfully invented a novel protein using computer software, an achievement that ultimately earned him this honor. Image source note: The image is AI-generated and authorized.

Waymo, the autonomous driving division of Alphabet, has announced plans to launch tests of its self-driving car technology in Tokyo in early 2025. This will mark the first time the company's autonomous taxis operate on public roads outside of the United States. The expansion into Japan is part of Waymo's 'Road Trip' initiative, aimed at deploying its technology across multiple cities and conducting field tests, each facing unique challenges. In Tokyo, Waymo’s autonomous taxis will encounter different traffic conditions compared to the U.S., including left-side driving.

At the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, Tesla's launch event themed "We, Robot" took place as scheduled, capturing the attention of tech enthusiasts worldwide. This highly anticipated event not only showcased Tesla's latest breakthroughs in autonomous driving but also marked a moment of fulfillment for CEO Elon Musk's long-standing promises. Image source: The star of the Tesla launch event—the Tesla Robotaxi finally unveiled its mystery. Musk personally arrived at the venue in a CyberCab, demonstrating the revolutionary vehicle in action.

Recently, NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang revealed in an interview that OpenAI's latest o1 large language model (LLM) will be based on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, which has achieved an astounding improvement in inference capability. As the market gradually emerges from the hype of generative AI, developing LLM models capable of generating 'inference-focused' responses has become increasingly important, marking a significant step toward achieving general artificial intelligence.

Uber has formed a strategic partnership with the autonomous taxi company Cruise, planning to offer autonomous ride services through the Uber app next year, potentially covering cities like Phoenix, Dallas, and Houston. Cruise, which paused its service last year due to safety incidents, has now resumed operations under the supervision of safety drivers. This marks an important move for Uber in the self-driving sector, also collaborating with Waymo and Aurora. The partnership with Cruise aims not only to expand autonomous...

General Motors is cutting global software staff to focus resources on high-priority projects, such as optimizing the Super Cruise driver assistance system, enhancing infotainment platforms, and exploring applications of artificial intelligence to tackle software challenges and strengthen competitiveness. This move reflects the company's shift towards a software-defined vehicle strategy, pursuing technological innovation through increased efficiency and resource concentration. Recently, GM has faced software-related issues, including a pause in the sales of the new Blazer EV, prompting the company to adjust its strategy. To address these challenges, GM has appointed a former Apple executive to lead its software and services division.

Chinese autonomous vehicle company WeRide has made significant progress in California, obtaining a permit for self-driving vehicle testing that allows passenger rides on public roads, although currently it is not permitted to charge fees or offer services to the public. WeRide had previously obtained a permit in 2021 to test autonomous vehicles without passengers on public roads. However, the company's commercialization progress in California appears to be slow, with its autonomous driving mileage in 2023 far below that of competitor Waymo. WeRide is preparing to raise nearly $5 billion.

According to a report by Yicai Global, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman informed employees that the company's annual revenue reached $3.4 billion over the past six months. This figure indicates that OpenAI's growth is accelerating, even in a highly competitive environment.

Consumer GPU shipments grew 32% year-over-year, reaching 9.5 million units. AI PCs are not the primary factor driving the sales growth of GPUs. AMD saw the largest growth in the holiday quarter, while Nvidia maintains market dominance. Analysts expect the market to remain stable, with Nvidia and AMD launching new GPUs.

General Motors hires a Vice President for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and launches a new AI website. The new Vice President, Anantha Kancherla, has a strong technology background.
