GM’s self-driving robotaxi unit, Cruise, is poised to deploy a small fleet of autonomous cars in Seattle, Washington. The initial deployment of the vehicles will reportedly include safety drivers.
Cruise’s deployment in the city will begin in sections of downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, Fremont, the University District, and West Seattle. From this, Cruise would be able to collect valuable real-world data. The robotaxi provider would be joining other self-driving units that are also operating in Seattle today, such as Zoox.
In a comment to Geek Wire, Cruise executive VP of engineering Mohamed Elshenawy noted that Seattle would be a great testing ground for the company’s self-driving robotaxis. The city, after all, features hilly areas and inclement weather conditions, which should present Cruise with some interesting edge cases and challenges.
“The compact full-frame camera promises advanced autofocus features, performance, and high-quality 4K video. Following the lead of recent Sony cameras, the a7C II also includes a dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) processing engine to drive some of its more sophisticated photo and video features, including robust subject recognition, real-time tracking, and AI-based Auto Framing.”
The Sony a7C II is available body only for $2,199.99 or in a kit with Sony’s 28-60mm zoom lens for $2,499.99. This is a $300 difference compared to the Sony a7 IV body. The Sony a7C II is available in gray and black colorways. The Sony a7C II will begin shipping this fall.
Sony a7CR: a7R V Sensor in a Compact Body.
Alongside the Sony a7C II, Sony has announced its first a7CR camera. Like the a7R series, including its most recent iteration, the Sony a7R V, the Sony a7CR offers a high-resolution image sensor, albeit in a compact package.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers at Purdue University are advancing the world of robotics and autonomy with their patent-pending method that improves on traditional machine vision and perception.

Tesla’s train at Giga Berlin will take roughly 4,500 employees to work every day and will commute on its route almost 60 times daily.
This week, Tesla confirmed it would use a shuttle connected to the public railway network running between Erkner Train Station and the Giga Berlin property to give both employees and citizens a public transportation option.
The shuttle will travel between the two stops nearly 60 times a day, and according to rbb24, it will bring “more than 1,500 employees directly to the factory at the change of shift alone.”
The Tesla CEO keeps pushing his employees to achieve more, sometimes even the impossible.
Elon Musk allegedly asked Tesla employees to ensure that Cybertruck production achieves single-digit micron tolerance, much like Lego or even soda cans are made with. This instruction was sent to employees in an email, which was later leaked, Electrek.
The Cybertruck is Tesla’s most awaited electric vehicle, running several years behind schedule and expected to begin deliveries by the end of this quarter. The vehicle’s iconic shape piqued many potential buyers’ interest when unveiled in 2019.
Today’s cars can contain over 100 computers and millions of lines of software code, which are all networked together and can operate all aspects of your vehicle. It is only logical that following this shift, car theft has gone high-tech.
According to Techxplore, the computers in a vehicle can be divided into four categories; The majority are dedicated to operating the vehicle’s drive train-controlling the fuel, the battery, monitoring emissions, and operating cruise control. The second category is for safety-collecting data from in and around the vehicle for functions like lane correction, automatic braking, and backup monitoring. The third category is information-entertainment systems that provide music and video and can interface with personal devices through Bluetooth. The last category is the navigation system.
