Shenzhen has unveiled a comprehensive strategy to invest up to 300 million yuan annually to foster the development of key sectors such as autonomous driving and artificial intelligence chips. The initiative aims to enhance basic research, reduce costs for AI model training, and support innovative applications across various industries.

Tesla has announced plans to create a remote operations team aimed at managing its upcoming fleet of robot taxis. This initiative reflects a strategic shift towards incorporating remote operational capabilities inspired by competitors like Waymo, despite differing autonomous driving technologies. The company anticipates launching its robot taxi service in California and Texas by mid-2025.

Tesla has announced plans to create a remote operations team aimed at overseeing its future fleet of robot taxis. This initiative reflects a shift towards incorporating remote operational strategies, similar to those used by Waymo, despite the differing approaches to autonomous driving technology between the two companies.

Yuanrong Qixing has successfully completed a $100 million Series C1 funding round, led by Great Wall Motors. The investment aims to enhance domestic production and expand international operations, focusing on Robotaxi commercial ventures and advanced technologies like the VLA model.

Waymo, Google's autonomous driving subsidiary, is stepping up its game with the integration of Google's Gemini AI model. The company has introduced EMMA, an innovative system that processes complex sensor data to help its self-driving taxis make smarter decisions. This tech could revolutionize the future of autonomous travel, but there are still a few bumps (like lidar processing) to iron out. Buckle up — the future of driving is about to get wild!
