In this episode of Kilowatt, we dive into Ford's latest electric vehicle strategy as the automaker begins building low-cost LFP battery cells in the United States. This move is aimed directly at keeping competitors like Rivian at bay while paving the way for a highly anticipated $30,000 EV pickup truck. Meanwhile, autonomous driving hits a bump in the road with Waymo issuing a software recall after robotaxis struggled to navigate closed highway construction lanes. We also examine the growing regulatory pressure on semi-autonomous tech, highlighting a new New Jersey legislative bill and federal lawmakers pushing the NHTSA to investigate Tesla's Full Self-Driving claims. Tune in for an essential breakdown of the rapidly changing EV battery landscape and the safety battles defining the future of autonomy.

En weer moet ASML dealen met de Amerikaanse regering. Dit keer is het handelsminister Howard Lutnick die de directie op het matje roept. Volgens hem zouden de nieuwste machines van ASML naar China gaan, ondanks het exportverbod. Persbureau Bloomberg sprak met mensen uit de Amerikaanse regering. Die zeggen bewijs te hebben, zonder bewijs te overleggen. ASML ontkent en zegt dat ze helemaal geen nieuwste machines leveren. Hoe dan ook: het is wéér gedoe dat ASML op zijn bordje krijgt. Hoe moet het bedrijf hier nu weer mee omgaan? We kijken er deze aflevering na. Ook wat dit met je ASML-aandeel doet. Hebben we het ook over het nieuws Prosus. Dat krijgt steeds meer vorm, blijkt uit de nieuwe trading update. Maar wanneer kennen beleggers ook die hogere beurswaarde toe aan het bedrijf? Verder gaat het over SpaceX. Dat ging als een raket op de beurs, maar de motor begon te haperen. De koers van het aandeel ging naar beneden. Ondertussen probeert het bedrijf nog even 20 miljard op te halen bij investeerders, nadat het afgelopen week al ruim 80(!) miljard ophaalde. Gaat het ze lukken? Ook kijken we naar de falende robotaxi's van Aplhabet, mogelijke claims tegen Meta en we bespreken de deal tussen Iran en de VS. Is die deal nu alweer mislukt?

This week on Autonomy Signals, Grayson Brulte and Rob Grant discussed the launch of The Road to Autonomy Indices and break down Mobileye's pivot from licensor to robotaxi operator.The Road to Autonomy Indices score 38 companies on commercialization, deployment, and operational maturity across robotaxi, autonomous driving licensing, autonomous trucks, and delivery bots. Built with OMEGA on public and licensed data only, every update is cryptographically sealed to the RFC 3161 standard with an open-source verification layer, making the benchmark a transparent market barometer rather than a capital catalyst.On June 16th, Mobileye announced plans to launch a direct-to-consumer robotaxi service in a major US city in 2027, starting with roughly 100 vehicles and scaling to approximately 17,000 over five years. The press release named no city, disclosed no permits, and left no SEC filing trail, which is why the indices did not move on the headline.The open question is not whether Mobileye can build the technology, but whether its investors have the cash and the conviction to fund billions in below-the-line cost while standing toe-to-toe with Waymo and Tesla.Episode Chapters00:00 Signal 1: The Road to Autonomy Indices Launch23:44 Signal 2: Mobileye Pivots from Licensor to Robotaxi Operator56:42 AUTNMY AIFollow The Road to Autonomy Indices --------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Episode 303: On this week's episode, a creative AI that can build a whole world from a few sentences, sounds fun until you watch it keep continuity, remember past choices, and generate game-like logic on the fly. We kick things off with Fable 5 inside Claude AI, a model built for structured world-building that goes way beyond a typical writing assistant. We break down a facial recognition wrongful arrest that started with grainy screenshots and ended with an innocent man spending a night in jail, plus the bigger pattern of bias and bad safeguards. If a “93% match” can outweigh phone records, work records, and common sense, what's the standard for proof supposed to be?We also cover Waymo Premiere and what subscription robotaxis say about where autonomous vehicles are headed, plus a rapid-fire run through scam emails that try to steal your identity with fake Prime suspension notices and “free groceries for a year” bait. And yes, we had to talk about the viral AI Costco lazy river image that fooled millions, because it's the perfect lesson in how believable fake content has become. We wrap with a safety warning on carbon fiber 3D printing microfibers, then Nathan unloads on Prime Day, before we give our final thumbs up or thumbs down on Cotswolds Signature Single Malt all coming up on TechTime Radio, with a little whiskey on the side.-- Full Episode Details:A brand-new AI model claims it can do more than write. It can remember, reason, and build entire worlds that stay consistent over time and after testing it, we have a lot to say. We walk through Fable 5 on Claude AI, why persistent story worlds and long-term memory change the game for writers and game developers, and why “creative reasoning engines” are about to reshape how we make interactive experiences.Then the tone shifts hard as we cover a real facial recognition failure that led to a wrongful arrest. We unpack how a blurry screenshot, an overconfident match score, and sloppy police work can spiral into jail time, legal chaos, and lasting trauma. We also talk plainly about algorithmic bias, why these tools keep failing Black Americans at higher rates, and what safeguards should exist before software gets treated like a magic truth machine.From there, we hit the consumer side of emerging tech: Waymo's new Premiere subscription, robotaxi expansion, and the marketing push that makes self-driving sound like just another rewards program. We also read scam and spam emails that prey on urgency, including “Prime membership suspended” phishing and fake “Meta Verified” pitches, plus a quick reality check on viral AI-generated product hoaxes like the so-called 200-foot Costco lazy river. We wrap with a practical tech warning about carbon fiber 3D printing safety and a no-filter rant on Prime Day turning into a never-ending sales calendar.Subscribe for weekly technology news with a sense of humor, share this with a friend who clicks the wrong links, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss autonomous trucking reaching an inflection point, Waymo acquiring Apple's Arizona proving ground and Tesla filing for a robotaxi permit in Las Vegas.As Gatik expands its middle-mile freight operations with PepsiCo across Texas, Arizona and Arkansas, Volvo Autonomous Solutions told investors it is targeting $3 billion in autonomous transport revenue within five years through its transport-as-a-service (TaaS) business.On the robotaxi side of the business, Waymo acquired Apple's former 5,500-acre proving ground in Wittmann, Arizona for $220 million, a facility with a high-speed oval an hour from its Mesa up-fitting plant. Grayson views the acquisition as a signal that Waymo is preparing to test at highway speeds away from prying eyes, while Walt notes that satellite imagery sees everything.Before the segueing into the Foreign Autonomy Desk, Grayson and Walt debate Tesla's Clark County permit application for up to 5,000 robotaxis in a Las Vegas market with roughly 6,500 Uber drivers, Einride going public and Rivian beginning R2 deliveries.On the Foreign Autonomy Desk, Chinese robotaxi continues to accelerate into Europe with Pony.ai in Luxembourg and WeRide in Slovakia.Episode Chapters00:00 Gatik Goes Driver-Out with PepsiCo02:51 Volvo Targets $3 Billion in Autonomous Transport Revenue06:54 Einride Goes Public08:58 Tesla Files for Clark County Robotaxi Permit11:52 Waymo Acquires Apple's Arizona Proving Ground13:39 Wayve and Uber Open the UK Interest List16:20 Baidu Added to the Pentagon's Designation List18:31 Foreign Autonomy Desk27:13 Nebius Launches a Physical AI Lab28:14 Next Week--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

The headlines about China's economy often tell two contradictory stories at once: recovery and stagnation, consumer confidence and persistent caution, tech boom and structural drag. Making sense of what's actually happening requires someone who's tracking the data closely, week by week, from the ground up. Robert Wu does exactly that through Baiguan, a consultancy and popular newsletter that covers the Chinese economy, consumer trends, and business developments.In this episode, Robert gives us his unfiltered read on the state of China's economy in 2026. He breaks down two trends his recent newsletter highlighted: what's happening in the real estate market and whether salary recovery is real or overstated. He also assesses consumer sentiment and what it's actually showing up in spending behaviour across categories.Robert then takes us through a series of sector-specific spotlights: the auto market and whether robotaxis are genuinely scaling or still in hype territory; Pop Mart's trajectory and what it signals about Chinese consumer brands going global; DeepSeek's latest model and what it reveals about China's AI competitive position; and the food delivery war between Meituan and its challengers, and what that tells us about the state of China's consumer internet.He closes with the key variables that will shape the rest of the Chinese economy in 2026, and what international businesses should understand about China that isn't making it into the headlines. Discussion Points·       What Baiguan is, who Robert writes for, and what led him to cover the Chinese economy·       High-level read on the state of China's economy in 2026: recovery, stagnation, or something more complex·       Real estate market update: what the data is showing and whether the sector has turned a corner·       Salary recovery: how real it is, which segments are seeing it, and what it means for consumer spending·       Consumer sentiment assessment: how people are actually feeling and how it's showing up in spending patterns·       Auto market dynamics and the robotaxi question: genuine scaling or early-stage hype·       Pop Mart: bullish or bearish, and what its trajectory tells us about C-brand globalisation·       DeepSeek's new model and what it signals about China's AI competitive position relative to the West·       The food delivery war: who's winning, who's losing, and what it reveals about China's consumer internet·       Key variables to watch for the rest of 2026 and what international businesses are missing about China

The robotaxi company Waymo has announced new capabilities that provide benefits completely distinct from its primary business model.Waymo says that the large, heavy, power-intensive batteries that power its fleet will no longer go to a recycling center at the end of their lives. Instead, they have a new use: supporting the power grid.Through a new partnership with B2U Storage Solutions, Waymo's batteries will be repurposed in order to store clean energy. But rather than in one-off implementations, the goal for this effort is to establish grid-scale storage systems. Adam Lenz, head of Sustainability & Environment at Waymo, “Our shared fleet of EVs provide a massive opportunity to support the growth of clean energy on the electricity grid while expanding the circular economy,” adding it was important to the company that the batteries continue to provide “economic and environmental value” after they were retired from the road.The plan goes hand in hand with solar power, according to Waymo, who contends that the batteries will primarily be used to store the surplus energy produced during peak hours – namely the middle of the day when the sun is at its highest point. The batteries will then distribute that power during peak demand in the evenings.They say the process is largely plug-and-play, with batteries coming from cars and capable of being online in this power storage capacity within a matter of days.The first deployments derived from the partnership will take place in Texas and California – two states who not only have a significant need for electrical grid support but who also happen to already host Waymo fleets.Fellow automaker GM also recently revealed that it was expanding into different battery cell chemistries for varied uses – notably to increase its vehicle-to-grid capabilities. The automaker hopes to take advantage of the growth in AI data center development and use its batteries to help offset the strain on the nation's utilities.#Waymo, #Robotaxi, #AutonomousVehicles, #EV, #ElectricVehicles, #BatteryStorage, #EnergyStorage, #RenewableEnergy, #SolarEnergy, #CleanEnergy, #PowerGrid, #BatteryTechnology, #Sustainability, #Manufacturing, #ManufacturingNews

Gil West, CEO of Hertz, joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the launch of Oro Mobility and how a century of fleet operations is helping robotaxis to scale.A robotaxi parked is a depreciating asset, and the attention goes to the driving while the margin hides everywhere else. Cleaning, charging, maintaining, and positioning the vehicle is the part nobody wants and the part that decides the economics.Oro Mobility was built to own that work. It is an asset-heavy operating company sitting on Hertz infrastructure, 2,700 chargers, more than 11,000 service locations, and a footprint across roughly 160 countries. Oro owns and operates fleets, human-driven and autonomous, and supplies them turnkey to B2B partners including Uber and Nuro in a manner that Gil frames as the connective tissue between the demand aggregators, the technology companies, and the OEMs, the supply layer for the future of mobility.That positioning reshapes how the autonomy economy scales. A robotaxi company no longer has to build depots, charging, and a service network from scratch, something Mr. West says could take decades and billions of dollars to replicate.Over time, Hertz plans to hold robotaxis on its balance sheet as both owner and operator, sweat each asset through the peaks, service it through the valleys, and run the same footprint across rideshare, delivery, and autonomy.Episode Chapters00:00 Hertz's Turnaround1:18 Oro Mobility4:43 Hertz's Infrastructure Advantage13:29 Robotaxi Technicians15:36 Robotaxis and Rideshare are Complementary19:27 Infrastructure Permitting22:26 Peaks and Valleys of Assets Ownership25:47 Inspiration for Oro Mobility28:28 Hertz as a Platform Business30:28 Managing the Turnaround34:21 Defining Success for Oro Mobility35:22 Hertz Over the Next Century37:03 AUTNMY AI--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Back from China, Tu Le and Lei Xing unpack one of the most consequential shifts happening in the global automotive industry: the technology relationship between China and Western automakers has completely flipped.  What began decades ago as Western companies bringing technology into China has become something very different. Today, automakers including Volkswagen, Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Nissan and others are increasingly relying on Chinese batteries, software, ADAS systems, LiDAR suppliers, and EV platforms to remain competitive.In this episode, Tu and Lei discuss:Why Ford, GM, Volkswagen and Stellantis increasingly need Chinese technologyThe growing influence of XPeng, BYD, CATL, Huawei, Momenta, Hesai and Horizon RoboticsWaymo's rapid expansion and why autonomous driving is becoming impossible to ignoreThe reality of FSD versus China's rapidly improving intelligent driving systemsThe implications of the Trump-Xi summit for the automotive sectorCanada's evolving strategy toward Chinese EV importsWhat the Beijing Auto Show revealed about the future of the industryWhy the next battle is no longer about EVs — it's about software, AI and autonomyThe conversation also explores whether legacy automakers risk becoming hardware manufacturers while Chinese companies increasingly control the technology stack powering the future of mobility.  ⸻

The balance of power among China's leading EV makers may be shifting.This week on China EVs & More, Tu Le and Lei Xing break down a remarkable set of earnings results that reveal very different trajectories for China's EV leaders.NIO appears to be emerging from one of the most challenging periods in its history, delivering consecutive profitable quarters while building momentum behind the ES9, ONVO, and Firefly brands.Meanwhile, Li Auto finds itself in an unfamiliar position. Margins are under pressure, earnings disappointed, and the company is increasingly relying on the success of its new BEV lineup to reignite growth.And then there's BYD.While competitors focus on selling cars, BYD continues expanding deeper into batteries, semiconductors, AI, and autonomous driving technology. The company recently unveiled its own advanced automotive chips, reinforcing its position as one of the most vertically integrated technology companies in the automotive industry.Tu and Lei also discuss:⚡ NIO's surprising turnaround and profitability outlook⚡ Li Auto's reset and what comes next for the L-Series and i-Series⚡ BYD's chip ambitions and technology strategy⚡ XPeng's robotaxi and robotics plans⚡ Stellantis' €60 billion strategy and deepening China partnerships⚡ Volvo's U.S. approval and what it means for Chinese technology in North America⚡ Tesla FSD vs China's rapidly evolving intelligent driving systems⚡ Why the next automotive battle is about AI, software, autonomy, and scaleThe EV race isn't slowing down. But the leaderboard may be changing faster than most people realize._____⏱️ YouTube Chapter Timestamps00:00 The Auto Industry Has Flipped02:00 Trump-Xi Summit & Global Auto Implications05:00 NIO Earnings: Is the Turnaround Real?09:00 Li Auto's Challenges & Margin Pressure13:00 XPeng's Robotaxi & Robotics Ambitions17:00 Why BYD Is Becoming a Chip Company21:00 CATL, Chips & China's Tech Arms Race25:00 Stellantis' €60 Billion China Strategy30:00 Why Europe Needs Chinese Technology34:00 Tesla FSD vs China's Intelligent Driving Systems38:00 Waymo's Momentum & Autonomous Driving Reality41:00 Volvo Approval & Future Chinese Market Access44:00 What Happens Next for Global Automakers?47:00 Final Thoughts_____#ChinaEVs #NIO #BYD #LiAuto #XPeng #Tesla #ElectricVehicles #Robotaxi #AutonomousDriving #ChinaEVsAndMore

As the World Cup prepares to kick off, many employers are embracing the excitement, using matches to boost teamwork and workplace interaction. From science fiction to city streets - the rise of robotaxis - and why young people are increasingly pushing back against the AI boom.

2026 was supposed to be a breakout year for self-driving taxis. Instead, WSJ reporter Sean McLain says, they're getting a crash course in public backlash. We break down the resistance robotaxi operators are facing from the public — and what it could mean for the technology's timeline. Then, you might be tempted to mess with the people behind those pesky spam texts. But WSJ contributor Heidi Mitchell warns, it could actually make you a bigger target. Imani Moise hosts.
