Amid growing global emphasis on environmental protection, Uber has announced the upcoming launch of an AI assistant powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o technology, designed to help drivers transition smoothly to electric vehicles (EVs). This announcement was officially made at the 'Go-Get Zero' event held in London recently. Uber is committed to reducing carbon emissions and has pledged an investment of $800 million to support its driver partners in fully transitioning to electric vehicles by 2040. The AI assistant is set to be released early next year in the United States.

In discussions about AI's electricity consumption, Bill Gates presented a different viewpoint, emphasizing that concerns about AI's power demands are exaggerated, and that AI's contributions to scientific discovery and production processes far exceed its energy consumption. He cited examples of AI's role in improving steel production, optimizing meat processing, and weather forecasting. Gates also pointed out the potential of nuclear energy in addressing the climate crisis, noting that while current nuclear energy costs are high, advancements in technology, such as TerraPower's work on developing safer, more economical nuclear fission technology, hold promise for the future of affordable nuclear energy.

The AI systems relied upon by autonomous vehicles play a critical role in decision-making, environmental perception, and predictive modeling. However, research from the University at Buffalo has unveiled the risks of these systems potentially being subjected to attacks. The study indicates that while current research is conducted in controlled environments, the discovered vulnerabilities in AI models related to radar detection could have far-reaching implications for the industry. 'Brick masks' made with 3D printing and metal foils can make vehicles 'disappear' in radar detection and potentially interfere with pedestrian detection. The motivations behind such attack methods include insurance fraud, competition, or malicious harm.

'OmniRe' technology has been jointly developed by several top universities and research institutions, aiming to comprehensively reconstruct urban scenes, including vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles. Unlike traditional methods that rely on local perspectives, 'OmniRe' integrates multi-angled information to achieve a more accurate capture of urban environments, significantly enhancing reconstruction quality. This groundbreaking advancement holds vital importance for fields such as urban planning, autonomous driving, and augmented reality. 'OmniRe' not only generates high-precision 3D models but also possesses the capability to efficiently process large amounts of data, expediting...

The globally renowned ride-hailing platform Uber has announced a collaboration with the UK-based artificial intelligence company Wayve to jointly develop vehicles equipped with Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities, with plans for deployment in multiple markets worldwide. This partnership serves as a strategic investment by Uber to supplement Wayve's Series C funding, as its technology will be integrated into Uber's autonomous vehicle fleet, accelerating collaborations with global automotive manufacturers. Wayve's Embodied AI technology enables vehicles to operate outside pre-mapped areas within geofenced regions and has launched the largest initiative in Europe in London.

General Motors is cutting global software staff to focus resources on high-priority projects, such as optimizing the Super Cruise driver assistance system, enhancing infotainment platforms, and exploring applications of artificial intelligence to tackle software challenges and strengthen competitiveness.
