Drive.ai is the 13th company to be granted a license to test autonomous vehicles on public roads in California. This is exciting news, especially because we had no idea that Drive.ai even existed until just last week. The company has been in stealth mode for the past year, working on applying deep learning techniques to self-driving cars. We spoke with two of Drive.ai's co-founders, Sameep Tandon and Carol Reiley, about why their approach to self-driving cars is going to bring us vehicle autonomy that's more efficient, more adaptable, more reliable, and safer than ever.
This week we learned about scientists who built a seemingly immortal battery, a squadron of Air Force engineers and technicians who set the world speed record in magnetic levitation and a study that revealed where we store words in our brain.
El BAC de MONDRAGON, en colaboración con la Agencia de Desarrollo Comarcal de Debagoiena, organiza la sesión “ Perspectivas sobre la Fabricación Aditiva”
El BAC de MONDRAGON, en colaboración con la Agencia de Desarrollo Comarcal de Debagoiena, organiza para el jueves 19 de Mayo a las 17:30, la sesión “ Perspectivas sobre la Fabricación Aditiva”
La Fabricación Aditiva (additive manufacturing) constituye un nuevo concepto de fabricación en el que el material es depositado de manera controlada, capa a capa, exclusivamente allí donde es necesario, para conseguir la geometría inicialmente definida en un modelo tridimensional.

Neural networks are artificial intelligence systems that excel at interpreting images. This makes them promising for helping drones and robots navigate, or for analyzing surveillance footage. But they are typically power hungry, which has limited their use so far. Vision processor company Movidius of San Mateo, Calif., hopes to change that with a low-power chip designed to run neural networks. The neural net accelerator, called Fathom, comes on a USB stick, uses only 1 watt of power, and can run most visual neural nets.
AirStrip, a San Antonio, TX-based company integrating mobile health and IT technologies, has raised $25 million in a strategic funding round that includes new and existing investors.
In a statement, AirStrip says the capital would be used to support the continued expansion of its AirStrip ONE mobile technology platform, introduce its technology to the home health market, expand overseas, and apply analytics capabilities to the healthcare data it is collecting.
A year ago, a flurry of news stories declared the failure of Google’s Web-connected eyewear Google Glass after the company halted sales of the novel item whose debut it had trumpeted in 2012. Critics said consumers could never figure out a compelling use for the $1,500 smart glasses, which are equipped with a video camera, microphone, and clear see-through lenses that can display data for the wearer. And others worried about privacy.
Personal assistants and software bots have enjoyed significant buzz in recent months. New assistants are launched every week, and the Slack App Store already lists more than 40 bots. Working with Opus Research, we have published an update of the Intelligent Assistance Landscape that looks into the implications of this trend.
This report features 110 companies (increased from the 70 participants in the initial report from October, 2105).
The largest ever investment bet by the storied venture firm Founders Fund has paid off.
The drug company AbbVie, based in Massachusetts, said it would pay $5.8 billion in cash and stock to take over Stemcentrx, a little-known biotech backed by Founders Fund and whose strategy for treating cancer we first wrote about in September.
The IoT’s true value lies in its disruptive potential for reimagining business processes and, ultimately, rewiring business, government, and society. Realizing that potential means shifting IoT applications’ strategic focus toward not just sensing, but doing.
