EV batteries could offer longer lifespan, higher safety with new tech
EV batteries could offer longer lifespan, increased safety with new Swedish tech.
The lifespan of EV batteries has remained a challenging factor for their users. After continuous usage of years, these batteries’ lifespan decreases. But a new experiment offers hope for longer lifespan of EV batteries.
An AI model, developed at Uppsala University, could reportedly offer enhanced safety and longer life of EV batteries. The model provides a much more accurate picture of battery ageing.
UC Davis Study Reveals Alarming Browser Tracking by GenAI Assistants
A new study led by computer scientists at the University of California, Davis, reveals that generative AI browser assistants collect and share sensitive data without users’ knowledge. Stronger safeguards, transparency and awareness are needed to protect user privacy online, the researchers said. A new brand of generative AI, or GenAI, browser extensions act as your personal assistant as you surf the web, making browsing easier and more personalized. They can summarize web pages, answer questions, translate text and take notes.
Waymo launches NYC’s first self-driving vehicle trials with 8 cars
New York City launches first self-driving vehicle trials, robotaxi firm to test with 8 cars.
Waymo has received its first permit to test autonomous vehicles in New York City, city officials confirmed Friday. The authorization allows the Alphabet-owned company to deploy up to eight vehicles in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn through late September, with the option to extend the program.
The launch marks the first autonomous vehicle testing program in the city. State law requires a trained driver to remain behind the wheel during operations, in line with what officials describe as the nation’s strictest safety standards.
Smartlet microrobots coordinate underwater using light signals
Smartlet microrobots use solar cells and optical signaling to team up underwater.
Powered by solar cells and optical signals, new autonomous smartlets fold into cubes, sense stimuli, and coordinate in aquatic environments.
