They might be able to help with Thanksgiving dinner :) -> Sunday, which is building autonomous home robots, raised a $165M Series B led by Coatue at a valuation of $1.15B, and aims to begin testing in homes this year https://t.co/9b2Eev1pAU https://t.co/sRuftCHodI
I've just released my weekly wrap-up. 1️⃣ A VC perspective on an InsurTech unicorn 2️⃣ Is there a market for humanoids? 3️⃣ How autonomous vehicles are disrupting the ridesharing economy 👉 https://t.co/SMTgDQZxBM — fgtrends
HOG: The Algorithm That Powered Early Human Detection In 2005, before deep learning dominated computer vision, researchers introduced Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) - a powerful technique for detecting people in images. Instead of analyzing raw pixels, HOG focused on edges...
Can we get an Uber Autonomous category please? There are enough Waymo’s and it’s worth any incremental wait. Let the consumer decide.
Lucid CFO on the show tomorrow. Believe its the first interview he's done since joining Lucid. Very interested in Robotaxi economics from Lucid's POV. Welcome your questions

A new platform claims to let AI “rent” human bodies. The idea sounds futuristic, but it highlights a deeper challenge: robots and AI still depend heavily on humans to interact with the physical world. Until machines achieve full autonomy, human bodies...
Should autonomous vehicles be able to talk to each other? “NO” says Ming Maa , Founder/ CEO of Moove. Having self-driving cars talking to each other creates a dependency that the industry should not rely on! What do you think?...
Here’s how one safety incident could crumble the self-driving car industry. Following the Cruise Incident (where a pedestrian was struck and dragged in San Francisco), or the Kit-Cat incident (where a Waymo killed a cat in San Francisco), even a...
Getting around LA is annoying. But getting around LA in a Waymo while being productive opens up a lot of possibilities. So bullish on a driverless future. Will be great when there's less bad drivers around. Will be great when...
Gonna get my own ride next week at GTC. My Tesla just drove me for an hour around Silicon Valley. It is eight years old. Just was at a funeral of my son’s friend’s dad who was killed in a car wreck...
Very nice scoop by @ZoeSchiffer and @LaurenGoode on Nvidia's plan to introduce an open source agent. @WIRED biz desk be cookin. https://t.co/lxSjHVR6KX
Yep: "Red states get Waymos. Blue states get studies." https://t.co/NpcSYElH74 via @kelseytuoc "Time and again, when there’s a controversial upzoning or transit project, opponents will demand studies in order to delay or undermine important projects."
Uber's Dara Khosrowshahi and Zoox's Aicha Evans join me on @BloombergTV at 730amPT. We welcome your questions: https://t.co/xt2gmW9DZs
NEWS: Uber has reached an agreement with Zoox to make rides available through the Uber app on the Zoox purpose-built robotaxi starting in Las Vegas this summer and expanding to LA next year. Story and details @TheTerminal with @natlungfy This is...
Tesla FSD (Supervised) v14.2.2.5 Sudden braking on greenlight protected left hand turns. At Van Ness and Broadway there's two lanes of arrow-lighted protected left hand turns. Today the MY braked hard even when light was green. I tapped accelerator and we...

We talk a lot about incoming autonomous vehicle fleets and revolutions worldwide, but trust me within the next 3-5 years you’ll still need a drivers license.
Not so crazy prediction: 25 years from now, humans will be monstrously less safe than autonomous cars. What will happen? Driving tests will become more rigorous.
Quick day trip to Amsterdam🇳🇱 for @intertraffic. And had a fascinating panel discussion on "User Acceptance of Automated Vehicles (AVs)". It's time that we don't differentiate engineering & human factors when it comes to product design. They come together for...
"10 years from now, every single car sold will have autonomous capabilities" - @dkhos at @Abundance360 2026 summit.
Everyone's arguing over who wins the autonomous vehicle race. Tesla? Waymo? Google? Wrong question. Uber is building the Marriott model for robotaxis. Their vision is financial giants & people own their fleets. Uber provides the operating platform. $1 trillion upside.
Uber has a fascinating response to Elon’s vertical approach to autonomy: “We’d welcome Tesla on the Uber platform.” Smart move. Tesla may own the cars, but Uber wants to OWN the network.
Uber CEO @dkhos mentioned something very important: Our society will not be ALL autonomous vehicles or all human. It's hybrid. AV fleets in some cities, human drivers in others. The binary debate is dead.
Autonomous vehicles are the future of transportation. An honor to have @dkhos discuss at @Abundance360 how Uber is preparing for the global rise of robotaxis and self-driving fleets. https://t.co/7voCjMqg6g
@elonmusk believes FSD + Starlink may reverse urbanization in America. This is a plausible possibility... The US has <50 people per sq km.
The funny thing is that Volkswagen sponsored the Stanford University department and building where @waymo started. Yet didn't invest in building an autonomous vehicle itself. Just like all the other traditional automakers. It's like Eastman Kodak, which invented the digital camera,...

Perseverance had completed about 90 percent of its travels autonomously, as of its 1,312th Martian day since landing https://t.co/EpREqOS43q #AI
2021 Atlas humanoid robot was a bulky, hydraulic robot. Back then, it relied on algorithms written by engineers. 2026 Atlas has a sleek, all-electric body and an AI-powered brain, smart enough to pull off hard-to-believe feats autonomously. https://t.co/U0bW8alre4

Is "Environmental Maintenance" the missing link in robotics? We talk a lot about speed and precision. We don't talk enough about order. The Robostral WMa1 by Mistral is signaling a shift in how we build autonomous systems. It’s no longer just about executing a command;...
Xiaomi’s humanoid robot is now testing in a real car factory. It ran autonomously for 3 hours straight with a 90%+ success rate on installing self-tapping nuts,fully keeping up with the production line’s 76-second beat https://t.co/Fm8tj3EKp2 #factory #xiaomi #humanoidtech #humanoid #robot #Robotics...
Nvidia partnering with ABB to build a new generation of AI-enabled industrial robots is a practical signal about where automation is actually heading. The Financial Times reports that Nvidia and ABB Robotics are collaborating on systems that combine Nvidia’s AI...

LIDAR is expensive to add to most cars. That’s why until now, it’s only been used for high-end autonomous vehicles. But MicroVision wants to lower LIDAR prices, designing a sensor that costs under US $200 to produce. https://spectrum.ieee.org/solid-state-lidar-microvision-adas
for robotics researchers: there's many fantastic reward functions out there (TOPReward, Robometer, GVL, etc), so I made a lil website so you easily evaluate them on your own videos. Try: https://philfung.github.io/rewardscope/
