Companies like Hoto and Fanttik have elevated the design and functionality of tools like electric screwdrivers, but Arrowmax wants to make them smarter by adding a camera and AI that work together to eliminate the trial and error of finding the exact type and size of bit you need. It's convenient, but also helpful, as choosing the wrong size could potentially leave you with a stripped screw and a much harder repair.
After above average rainfall in October, reservoirs across England are still very low with much of the country remaining in drought, as Simon King explains.
General Motors marketed its Smart Driver system as a way for parents to monitor teen drivers or for adults to track their driving behavior. But in 2024, it emerged that GM had been sharing that data with brokers. Those brokers then sold the data to insurance companies, and some drivers found that their insurance became more expensive as a result. To make matters worse, many of those drivers claimed they had no knowledge of ever agreeing to share such data for such purposes.
Last year, GM and its OnStar subsidiary entered into a settlement with the FTC, prohibiting them from sharing some kinds of driver data with third parties. The settlement was finalized this January. That agreement banned the two companies from sharing geolocation data or driver behavior data for five years. At the time, GM also discontinued Smart Driver across its entire range.
Now the automaker has reached terms with the District of Columbia and 35 states after their attorneys general joined together to sue GM as well.
The robotaxis will be built entirely under one roof at Toyota's Takaoka plant in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Instead of building regular cars and modifying them later, the factory will install Waymo's self-driving sensors and computers right on the assembly line as each car is made.

Dan S Sullivan, the incumbent Republican senator running for re-election, and allies have accused the Democrats of trying to confuse voters by recruiting Dan J Sullivan to also stand in the race.
Binance has suspended all withdrawals after the worldβs largest cryptocurrency exchange fell victim to what appears to be the biggest heist in history.
The exchange put the βestimated total impactβ of the hack at about $6.3 billion and said around $3 billion of affected assets, mainly stablecoins that act as cash for the crypto market, had been frozen.
But analysts at Elliptic said the attacker had changed about $3.3 billion into digital assets that could not be frozen and was working to cash those out as traditional currency.
Investing in any stock is kind of like gambling in the sense that you're betting your money on a company's future performance. But how do you bet on a technology that could, in the worst-case scenario, "pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity," or best case, "bring forth an age of miracles"?
To some extent, Anthropic suggests in a letter at the top of its S-1 filing, you have to just believe.
Anthropic's 335-page S-1 prospectus, filed Monday, is part of a steady hype escalation in Silicon Valley's interactions with Wall Street. In some ways, it's not even that bizarre; SpaceX IPO'd in June after filing an S-1 that referenced din β¦
After months of bombarding mathematicians with a relentless stream of AI-generated results, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he sympathizes with researchers struggling to make sense of it all. But he has no intention of stopping - and hints there could be much more to come from the company's stockpile of discoveries.
"I think, on net, the world deserves to understand how the universe works," Altman said during an episode of the Cheeky Pint podcast released Thursday. "But I do have empathy for the method."
His comments mark one of the first times the OpenAI chief has directly acknowledged the company's impact on mathematicians, following a strin β¦
Three years ago, I wrote an obituary for the smart display. The category - smart speakers with touchscreens attached - was stuck with a few underpowered gadgets from Google and Amazon that tried to do too much and did too little well. Back then, I also laid out what they needed to do to improve. This month, Apple and Amazon launched new smart displays that check nearly every box on that list.
Based on my brief hands-on time with Apple's first smart display, the $299 HomeView, and Amazon's $499.99 Echo Show 16, a ground-up rebuild of its smart display line, these could finally turn the smart display into what it should have been all along: β¦
