Lyft and China’s Baidu look to bring robotaxis to Europe next year

Lyft’s European expansion will include Chinese-made robotaxis. The U.S. ride-hailing company announced Monday it has made a strategic partnership with Baidu to deploy the Chinese tech giant’s Apollo Go autonomous vehicles across several European markets. The companies want to launch robotaxi services in Germany and the United Kingdom in 2026, pending regulatory approval. If approved, Baidu’s RT6 vehicles, which are equipped with its Apollo Go self-driving system, will be integrated into Lyft

Baidu plans to expand its robotaxis to Europe with Lyft deal

Baidu will bring its driverless taxis to Europe next year via a partnership with U.S. ridehailing firm Lyft , as the Chinese tech giant looks to expand its autonomous vehicles globally. The robotaxis will initially be deployed in the U.K. and Germany from 2026 with the aim to have "thousands" of vehicles across Europe in the "following years," the two companies said. Lyft has had very little presence in Europe until last week when it closed the acquisition of Germany-based ride hailing company

That's courtesy of neuroscientists at Northwestern University, who recently published a study looking into the brain patterns of mice. The new research explores how the hippocampus — a crucial part of the brain for spatial memory — changes over time. The paper sheds new light on a phenomenon first uncovered in 2013, when a study in th

Waymo’s Tekedra Mawakana on the truth behind autonomous vehicles at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025

Autonomous vehicles have long been touted as “just around the corner,” but the reality of what it takes to bring self-driving cars to the streets is anything but simple.

Australia’s first orbital-class rocket stalled seconds after liftoff

Back-to-back engine failures doomed a privately developed Australian rocket moments after liftoff Tuesday, cutting short a long-shot attempt to reach orbit with the country's first homegrown launch vehicle. The 82-foot-tall (25-meter) Eris rocket ignited its four main engines and took off from its launch pad in northeastern Australia at 6:35 pm EDT (22:35 UTC) Tuesday. Liftoff occurred at 8:35 am local time Wednesday at Bowen Orbital Spaceport, the Eris rocket's launch site in the Australian st

Australia’s First Rocket Crashes and Burns Seconds After Liftoff

The first Australian-made orbital rocket to launch from the land down under barely took off for its inaugural test flight, ending roughly 14 seconds after liftoff. Australian startup Gilmour Space launched its Eris rocket for the first time from the company’s Bowen Orbital Spaceport in northern Queensland at 6:35 p.m. ET on Tuesday (8:35 a.m. on Wednesday local time). The first orbital rocket designed and manufactured in Australia had a less-than-ideal first showing. Footage showed Eris struggl

Elon Musk Scoffs as Rival Waymo Plows Through Car While Driving Wrong Way Down Street

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is trying to ward off critics of his approach to autonomous driving. Many years ago, the mercurial billionaire decided to rely exclusively on cameras — rather than LIDAR and radar sensors, like Tesla's competitors — for the carmaker's driver assistance software. Critics have long pointed out the limitations of such an approach, arguing that visual sensors can easily be fooled by anything from severe weather to a wall painted to look like the road beyond it. Musk is clearly

Mario Paint comes to Nintendo Switch Online and, yes, it has mouse controls

I’ve been wondering for a while what the killer app for Joy-Con mouse controls on the Nintendo Switch 2 might be. Sure, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is fine as a tech demo (one that should have been a pack-in rather than costing $10) and Drag x Drive looks pretty interesting. Civilization VII has its fans as well. But the best use case for the feature yet could be a 33-year-old game that just hit Nintendo Switch Online. That’s right, the all-time SNES classic Mario Paint just joined the servi

Archaeologists Unearth 6-Foot-Tall Bronze Age Warrior Clutching a Spear

In a massive burial mound in the plains of western Azerbaijan, archaeologists discovered the remains of an ancient, towering warrior still clutching a four-pronged spearhead in his hand. The man’s skeleton measures over six feet six inches (two meters) in height and dates back to the Middle Bronze Age, approximately 3,800 years ago. Scientists believe he may have been a prominent military leader, due to the way in which he was laid to rest. The discovery offers a glimpse into the social and rel

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Gets Muppet Fever In Season 4

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has done a lot of odd things in the course of its five-season mission. We’ve had musicals, fantasy episodes, full-on horror adventures, and even a murder mystery is on the horizon. Now, the show is boldly going in another kooky direction: a puppet episode. Announced today during Trek‘s blockbuster Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Jordan Canning (who directed season 2’s “Charades”, but perhaps more crucially here, also directed seven episodes of the Fraggle Rock

Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Review: A Hybrid Gaming Mouse

Switching to a vertical mouse is a hard sell. Having to change how you use a mouse completely can be an intimidating task, especially with how unnatural the new hand position feels at first—you’re going entirely against the muscle memory you’ve spent years building up. One of the largest challenges to the switch is the initial loss of pointer accuracy. If you’re in an office setting, you may find yourself wandering around a bit or struggling to move your new mouse as quickly as you did before.

60 Italian Mayors Want to Be the Unlikely Solution to Self-Driving Cars in Europe

The future of self-driving cars in Italy it seems needs not only technology but also (possibly above all) political backing. The good news, then, is that more than 60 mayors in Italy have decided to take the field for the cars of the future. On July 14, in the hall of the MEET Digital Culture Center in Milan, Pierfrancesco Maran, a member of the European Parliament for the Italian Democratic Party, launched the Autonomous Driving: Italy in the Front Row initiative, which has backing from admini

Tesla wants to bring robotaxis to San Francisco. Here’s what’s standing in the way.

Tesla is launching an even-more-limited version of its early robotaxi service in San Francisco this weekend, according to Business Insider, after an initial rollout began last month in Austin, Texas. The company plans to send invites to Tesla owners to test the service, according to the report. Depending on how and if Tesla proceeds, its actions could violate state regulations — and even if there’s a human safety driver sitting behind the wheel while its vehicles operate autonomously. Two sta

Tesla Readies a Taxi Service in San Francisco—but Not With Robotaxis

Tesla has publicly staked its future on its robotaxis. Now the company is planning to launch a public car service in the San Francisco Bay Area. Tesla is calling it a “robotaxi” service, but legally, this one will have to use cars with human drivers. The plan appears to put the electric carmaker in murky legal waters in a US state with the country's most tightly regulated autonomous vehicle industry—and where Tesla is already being sued for misleading language around its driver assistance tech.

Skydance deal allows Trump’s FCC to “censor speech” and “silence dissent” on CBS

The Federal Communications Commission has approved Skydance's $8 billion acquisition of Paramount, which owns CBS. But the agency's approval drew fiery dissent from the only Democratic commissioner, Anna Gomez, after requiring written commitments from Skydance that allow the government to influence editorial decisions at CBS. Gomez accused the FCC of "imposing never-before-seen controls over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment, in direct violation of the First Amendment and the law." Und
