Quick Glance: Waymo Robotaxi Incident with Unicyclists in San Francisco
  • A self-driving Waymo taxi in San Francisco was filmed passing unicyclists and scooters, driving down the wrong side of the street.

  • The incident occurred at the intersection of Mission and First in the South of Market district around 9:30 PM PT on Friday, where a crowd of electric-powered unicyclists and other riders were flowing down the street.

  • The footage shows the cycling crowd crossing an intersection, with the Waymo taxi following closely behind, initially staying in the right lane but then shifting into the left lane to pass the group.

  • After a tense moment, a brave unicyclist forced the car to stop by pulling out in front of it, allowing the Waymo to return to the correct lane. The incident caused controversy and raised concerns about Waymo's safety protocols.

  • Deep Mind's CEO Demis Hassabis confirmed at the TED 40th anniversary conference in Vancouver, Canada, that Google has no intention of slowing down investment in the technology, but rather the opposite.

  • Hassabis emphasized the need to avoid an artificial intelligence arms race that could lead to risky decisions and highlighted the importance of society starting to think about the types of architectures being built as we approach achieving artificial general intelligence.

Google Fires Employees Protesting $1.2 Billion Contract With Israel: Googlers staged sit-in at several US offices to object to work with Israel

Google Fires Employees Protesting $1.2 Billion Contract With Israel
Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
  • Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

  • The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

  • No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

  • The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.
