It's easy to think of self-driving cars as the main battleground for autonomy. Certainly, that aspect of pilotless vehicles has gotten the most attention over the past five years or so, with companies like Waymo and Argo and Cruise generally leading the way. However, it's autonomous trucking that has the potential to really shake up the transportation industry. Today that technology is taking a big step towards mainstream.

Autonomous Raspberry Pi robots navigate their environment without bumping into things. Using an ultrasonic sensor, such as the HC-SR04, to detect obstacles is a fairly common tool for Pi-based robots and cars but this robot car project, created by maker and developer エス ラボ (S Lab), is going even further by mapping out a room with the help of a LiDAR sensor.

SpaceX is asking Starlink customers to help the company win a regulatory battle against Dish Network. In an email urging users to contact the Federal Communications Commission and members of Congress, SpaceX yesterday said a Dish plan to use the 12 GHz spectrum band for mobile service will cause "harmful interference [to Starlink users] more than 77 percent of the time and total outage of service 74 percent of the time, rendering Starlink unusable for most Americans."

In 2019, AI researchers first introduced the MineRL Challenge, which aims to teach artificial intelligence to play Minecraft. Specifically, MineRL consists of various tasks, such as finding a cave or building a house.

Don't expect the Dark Knight to be well-versed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Christian Bale claims he had no idea what the MCU was before he joined Thor: Love and Thunder. The Batman Begins star, set to make his Marvel debut as the villainous, goth-adjacent Gorr the God Butcher in the fourth instalment of the Thor franchise, shared as much in an interview with Total Film Magazine published Tuesday.

Boy George vowed to stop flying British Airways after he was on the same flight as Victoria Beckham. The Culture Club frontman took to Twitter on Thursday to complain that the airline allowed Beckham to leave the plane before anyone else. "Nice touch for @britishairways to leave everyone in first class waiting for steps while Victoria Beckham's car picks her up at the aircraft.

If confirmed, these would be the first US fighters captured in Ukraine since the war began in February.

The groups said the burning of fossil fuels from oil drilling is heating the planet and damaging imperiled species like Hawaiian songbirds and polar bears.

Seventy thousand species. That’s the best guess for the tally of life, including plants, animals and fungi, found in Britain and Ireland. And it’s the target of one of biology's most ambitious projects - scientists want to map the DNA of every single one of these organisms.

A new study published in Evolutionary Psychological Science reported that upward appearance comparison predicted increased envy among women; this, in turn, predicted willingness to spread negative – but not positive – gossip about an attractive woman.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy insisted on Saturday that Ukraine would prevail in its almost four-month-long war with Russia that has become focussed on a grinding artillery slugging match over an eastern Ukrainian city.

Apple’s WWDC 2022 announcements lacked big, splashy new features, and Siri was largely MIA. But in the absence of Apple’s virtual assistant, we got a lot of small but potentially meaningful software updates centered around a very real individual: you. And me. Developers know us as “end users,” but we’re otherwise known as humans.

Advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday will consider whether to recommend Novavax Inc's (NVAX.O) COVID-19 vaccine for adults, which the drugmaker hopes can become the shot of choice among some American vaccine skeptics. Novavax's shot is a more traditional type of vaccine employing technology that has been used for decades to combat diseases including Hepatitis B and influenza.

After rebounding from the brink of extinction, monarch butterflies are once again in crisis. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) says that from 2021-2022, California's western monarch population plummeted to less than 2,000 and flew back up to 200,000 as of this year – but researchers have discovered a new threat to the iconic migratory butterfly species.

New rules have come into force banning businesses in Scotland from providing single use plastic items such as cutlery, plates and stirrers. Polystyrene food containers and cups are also covered by the new ban as well as plastic straws and balloon sticks.

Jared Wilson’s struggle to keep his John Deere tractors running highlights the stranglehold the company has on the people who produce America’s food.
