Do driverless cars make us dumber drivers? One columnist thinks yes, and he has a point
A Guardian opinion piece argues that every automation added to the car, from automatic gearboxes to sat-nav to self-driving, quietly chips away at a human skill we never get back.
World Models: The AI Technology Teaching Machines to Understand Physics
A new generation of AI systems can simulate gravity, predict collisions, and generate interactive 3D worlds. Here is what world models are, who is building them, and why they matter.
Travis Kalanick's Startup Atoms Is Moving Into the Robotaxi Business
The Uber co-founder's secretive new company raised $1.7 billion this summer. Now we know more about where that money is headed: self-driving taxis, big hires, and at least one controversial acquisition.
