➁ Qualcomm announced its acquisition of Arduino to enhance edge computing capabilities while maintaining Arduino's open-source ethos;
➂ Fujitsu and Nvidia partnered to co-develop a full-stack AI infrastructure for industries like healthcare and robotics, integrating Fujitsu CPUs and Nvidia GPUs.
➀ Waymo's autonomous vehicles in Arizona halted operations due to heavy rain and flooding, as their AI systems struggled to distinguish surface water from deeper hazards；
➁ The company suspended services for three days to analyze data and improve weather response capabilities, citing the storms as critical learning opportunities；
➂ Waymo plans to expand trials to cities like New York and Denver with diverse weather, having previously operated in dry climate regions.
➀ Tesla's Robotaxi trial in Austin highlights potential technological limitations rather than showcasing advancement, with safety drivers still required despite claims of 'Full Self-Driving' at ADAS Level 2;
➁ Analysts note 60% of Tesla's $1 trillion valuation hinges on autonomous driving, yet it trails Waymo (valued at $45B) which operates fully autonomous fleets in multiple cities;
➂ The trial may aim to mitigate stock risks amid scrutiny from regulators and doubts about Tesla's ability to deliver Level 5 autonomy.
