As Tesla gears up for the official launch of its steering wheel and pedal-less Cybercabs, Waymo is issuing a stark warning about Elon Musk's approach autonomous driving. Srikanth Thirumalai, Waymo's VP of Onboard Software, doesn't specifically call out Musk or Tesla in a blog post, published Wednesday, entitled "10 AI Lessons from Driving 200+ Million Fully Autonomous Miles." But his intention is clear: Tesla's system is insufficient to the task of fully autonomous driving. "Cameras are incredi

You read that right. There is a new social network called “Twitter.now” on the block, and it’s being operated by a startup called Operation Bluebird, whose founding team includes former Twitter trademark counsel Stephen Coates. As ArsTechnica reported, X sued the company last year and asked a Delaware judge to issue an injunction to stop […]

Test drivers for Waymo and Zoox sustained more than two dozen injuries in 2024 and 2025 from hard braking or other sudden movements made by the autonomous vehicles, according to a TechCrunch review of data submitted to OSHA.

Meta might be on the hook for $17.1 billion and a host of app changes under a new kids safety settlement, but it's already spinning the deal to its advantage. After years of being the national punching bag for social media harms, Meta has reached a settlement with 47 US states and several districts and territories that gives it a rare opportunity: A chance to flex on its rivals. "We want to ensure teens benefit from this new industry standard, but we cannot do it alone," Meta says in an "Open Le

Today on Decoder, I’m talking to Verge senior AI reporter Hayden Field about some pure Decoder bait: the seemingly-endless org chart changes at OpenAI, and how all of them seem to consolidate power under cofounder Greg Brockman, the company’s president. While Sam Altman is the CEO and still OpenAI’s most public face, Brockman has amassed enormous power and influence within the top ranks of the company as other senior leaders have left in rapid succession these past few months.

AI’s water footprint is growing, but location and cooling technology make a difference.

Hugging Face's Pollen Robotics has launched its second cute AI robot, the Microduck, a one-eyed biped standing just under 10 inches tall. It's available to preorder now for $399 in cream, graphite, lavender, and sky blue, and Pollen Robotics says it plans to start shipping the little robot "before Christmas 2026." Video demos of the Microduck show it picking up socks and markers, kicking around a ball, and zipping around on tiny rollerskates. Pollen Robotics says it can also "react to its surro

Plaud has introduced a new AI wearable that's designed to record, transcribe, and summarize your conversations, only this time it looks like earbuds instead of a pin.

Adobe is rolling out an AI-heavy update for Photoshop that includes a new "optional" interface dedicated to its AI tools. Launching in beta, the "AI Assisted Editor" view will show all of Photoshop's AI features in a single toolbar, including its prompt-based image editor, background remover, an AI image extender, and more. There are also new ways to refine edits with AI, including a "markup" feature to draw directly on an image to show Photoshop's AI assistant what you'd like to change. That me

Your honor, We all know that the woman who sits before you is tired. Just look at the circles under her eyes. The novelty Pride and Prejudice T-shirt and Muji sweatpants that pass for pajamas. The unkempt, banana clip hairstyle that says "I really did wake up like this." But she's doing her best. And that's why she deserves this court's time and attention, to correct the injustice of last night's sleep score. To be clear, my client thinks the sleep score assigned by her Pixel Watch is generally

The Galaxy S26 FE holds few surprises. The Fan Edition phones are rarely Samsung's most exciting launches of the year, but the new Galaxy S26 FE feels especially familiar. Hardware-wise, little has changed since the S25 FE launched 12 months ago, and the upgrades have mostly come in the form of software tricks which themselves were already seen on this year's previous Samsung flagships. At its core, this is the same phone as last year's. The 6.7-inch OLED display, 4,900mAh battery, and triple

Samsung announced its upcoming lineup of Odyssey gaming monitors today at Gamescom, and says that several will feature "world-first innovations" across display speeds and design. This includes the 27-inch Odyssey G6 it initially unveiled in December, which now features a 1,100Hz refresh rate, alongside new OLED Odyssey G9, G8, and G7 updates for 2027. The Odyssey G6 G60H's upgraded 1,100Hz final launch specification is a smidge faster than the already ridiculous 1,040Hz refresh rate that Samsung
