Sleepwalking into WWIII by Dean Henderson
This past June Russian President Vladimir Putin made his first trip to North Korea in 24 years. Afterwards he travelled to Hanoi, Vietnam where he and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a historic agreement bringing the countries closer together than ever before. Last Friday Putin landed in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan where he signed another historic agreement, this time with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Already the two countries have a de facto military alliance in the Middle East region.
Latin Plant Names Could be Racist, Warns University of Michigan
Using Latin names for plants may be racist, the University of Michigan has warned, in guidance to prevent the influence of colonial “power structures” on visitors. The Telegraph has more. A strategy document for the university’s botanical gardens and arboretum warns against using the traditional combination of an English name and Latin name on plaques next to its plants, amid concerns they could erase “other forms of knowing”.
Will 2024 (finally) be the year of the autonomous vehicle? Original
It's been two decades since I developed the first driverless motorcycle, Ghostrider, as part of the DARPA Grand Challenge, an event that is widely viewed as the dawn of autonomous vehicles. That was in 2004, and in 2008, we used a modified Prius to deliver a pizza in San Francisco without a human driver - the first driverless car to navigate public streets. With such rapid advances, at the time, the consensus was that there would be an autonomous car in every driveway within the next 10 years.
Simplifying Autonomy with Pronto
by Anthony Levandowski I’ve worked on autonomous vehicles (AVs) for almost 20 years. Throughout my career, I have seen the industry make massive strides in the pursuit of AV and I am grateful to have contributed to some of the key milestones. Over the years, there have been a lot of predictions made, billions of dollars spent, and a huge amount of hype. The global AV market is estimated to be worth more than $800 billion and AV companies continue to raise many billions every year.
Pronto Means Ready
by Anthony Levandowski I know what some of you might be thinking: “He’s back?” Yes, I’m back. The “why” is fairly simple: I’m back because it’s my life’s passion to make the life-saving potential of autonomous vehicles a reality. “Reality” means real autonomous vehicles solving real problems for real people, while actually improving safety on real roads. Over the past 15 years, we’ve witnessed numerous advances in self-driving technology. I’m proud to have played a big role in it.

GM, Lyft and Otto on the future of mobility
If recent trends continue, we will be driven into a transportation future that is increasingly shared, connected, on-demand, electric and autonomous. How humankind's quality of life will change due to these technological innovations, however, is up for debate. Robin Chase, co-founder of Zipcar has warned that, if we don't prepare, we could end up in a nightmare of more congested cities with a dearth of tax revenue to maintain roads and massive job loss pegged to automation.
