Uber has announced a significant expansion of its autonomous vehicle ambitions through a new partnership with Chinese self-driving technology company Pony.ai. The collaboration will bring 2,000 robotaxis to European cities starting in 2026, marking one of the largest commitments yet for commercial autonomous ride-hailing services on the continent.
Apple just fired off another round of direct warnings to iPhone owners across the globe. The targets? A small group of individuals singled out for sophisticated surveillance. But this time the messages hit lock screens as push notifications. No one can miss them.
Wait times for cancer surgery keep climbing. A new analysis shows patients with six common cancers now face substantially longer periods between diagnosis and treatment than a decade ago. The trend raises fresh alarms about access to timely care in a system that prides itself on medical innovation.
Tesla has filed permits for what could rank among the largest urban charging stations in the country. The proposed site at 75 Waterloo Street in south San Francisco would pack 124 V4 Supercharger stalls onto a triangular lot currently used for yellow-cab storage. Wedged against U.S. Highway 101 near the Alemany and Bayshore intersection, the project signals fresh ambition in a city where apartment dwellers often lack home charging options.

Google just launched the Pixel 11 series. The Tensor G6 inside it carries real upgrades. Yet one detail stands out. It’s not the 2nm chip many expected.
Instead, the company stuck with an enhanced 3nm process from TSMC. The choice surprised analysts who had tracked months of rumors pointing to a bigger leap. Process node decisions rarely grab headlines. This one does. It reveals much about Google’s priorities in a market where raw silicon geometry often signals ambition.
Elon Musk dropped a bold claim this week. Speaking to SpaceX employees at an all-hands meeting, the chief executive declared that artificial intelligence revenue would eclipse every other part of the business as soon as September. Not probably. Definitely.
“Probably our AI revenue — not probably, definitely — our AI revenue will exceed all other SpaceX revenue probably in September, like next month,” Musk said. “And will significantly exceed all other SpaceX revenue in the fourth quarter.”
Chris Gallagher saw it coming. In a contributor piece for Digital Trends published just today, he laid out the problem facing journalists, security teams and everyday users. AI-generated imagery has grown so convincing that simple eyeball tests no longer cut it. Early models stumbled over fingers and teeth. Current ones rarely do. The result? A flood of synthetic art, video clips and short films that pass visual muster with alarming ease.
Container hardening typically involves shrinking images, eliminating packages and limiting a workload’s actions once deployed. While these measures decrease opportunities for attackers, they don’t necessarily reveal the origin of an image or whether the image’s release process was authorized. In addition to secure configuration, organizations are increasingly requiring evidence in the context of increasingly complex software supply chains.
