Waymo announced plans to bring its self-driving ride-hailing service to Toronto, starting with manual-driving mapping and testing phases before a planned 2028 launch for riders. The company is partnering with Toronto-based Element Fleet Management for fleet operations and maintenance, and says it will create hundreds of jobs across driving, customer service and operations roles.
United Airlines now offers Starlink satellite Wi-Fi on nearly half of its daily flights, with 635 aircraft equipped and more than 37.7 million passengers served to date. The carrier has launched an online tracker letting passengers check, within 48 hours of departure, whether their specific flight will have the service, accounting for possible last-minute aircraft swaps.
Figure AI retired its F.02 humanoid robot fleet as the newer F.03 fleet scales up, choosing to melt the robots in a 75-ton electric arc furnace at a foundry in Imatra, Finland rather than disassemble them. The company trained the robots in simulation to jump into molten steel using stunt-artist movement data, and Arnold Schwarzenegger took part in the project after suggesting the melting idea online. The robots executed the jumps autonomously during a 24-hour window at the foundry despite extreme heat and electromagnetic interference.
Tesla has started delivering its first all-electric Semi trucks to customers, nearly ten years after unveiling the vehicle in 2017. The trucks are being built at a new factory next to Tesla's Reno Gigafactory, which the company says can produce up to 50,000 units a year and will create 3,000 local jobs. The top-range Semi is expected to travel 500-plus miles per charge and cost just under $300,000 before incentives.
Fleet Device Management has been admitted to Project Glasswing, Anthropic's controlled-access program for its Claude Mythos Preview model. Fleet will use the early access to explore how frontier AI could help IT teams detect and remediate device vulnerabilities faster, aiming to shrink the delay between when threats appear and when organizations patch them.
Uber has put another $10 million into Indian fleet operator Carrum Mobility through a Series B round, pushing the startup's valuation to about $168 million, up from $63 million after Uber's earlier $7 million investment in January. Uber now holds a mid-teens stake in Carrum, which operates roughly 5,100 vehicles and over 18,000 drivers across six Indian cities and generates about $45 million in annualized revenue.
Investigators identified a cluster of automated agents, likely built on OpenAI's systems, that began probing edit permissions on TestWiki and UseModWiki starting May 11, 2026. The bots initially triggered abuse filters with generic test posts, then refined their approach to successfully post content and links, later identified as originating from the same IP range as an account called AgentDataHelperX on DSEWiki.
Business Insider reports that former Uber and Lyft drivers are now working at Waymo's robotaxi depots, handling tasks like cleaning, charging, and inspecting the self-driving vehicles. At Waymo's Lyft-run Nashville depot, workers such as Chauncy Thompson and Jonathan Baines say they prefer the steady hours and hands-on maintenance work to gig driving. Lyft plans to open another Nashville depot in October, staffing half its roles with former rideshare drivers.
A new guide from cua-sandbox shows developers how to boot a Windows virtual machine, install Minecraft Java Edition inside it, and control the game using an AI agent connected through the cua-driver MCP server. The setup works both on a local QEMU-based sandbox and on the Fleet cloud service, requiring version 0.3.3 or later of cua-sandbox.
