Shoot us a Text.Episode #1266: Ford posts its biggest earnings miss in years but bets big on a 2026 rebound. Robotaxis scale nationwide while public trust hangs in the balance. And NADA partners with Northwood to strengthen the next generation of dealership leadership.Ford just posted its biggest quarterly earnings miss in four years and its worst net loss since 2008. But beneath the headline loss, the company's trucks and commercial vehicles are still carrying the load—and 2026 is being framed as a rebound year.The Q4 adjusted EPS (Earnings Per Share) came in at 13 cents versus the expected 19 cents, the largest miss in four years.Revenue remained strong, with $45.9B in Q4 and a record $187.3B for the full year, but about $900M in unexpected tariff costs and aluminum supply disruptions pressured margins.The company reported an $11.1B net loss in Q4 and an $8.2B loss for the full year, largely driven by $15.5B in EV-related special charges and restructuring actions.Ford Pro and Ford Blue have projected 2026 pre-tax earnings of up to $7.5B and $4.5B respectively, while the Model e unit is expected to lose up to $4.5B.CFO Sherry House noted that the Novelis aluminum plant disruption is not expected to fully resolve until mid-2026, meaning the company will continue sourcing alternative supplies at a higher cost.Waymo, Tesla, Zoox and others are racing to scale robotaxis across the U.S., but recent crashes and investigations show that winning public trust may be harder than winning market share.A Waymo vehicle struck a child who ran into the street from behind a parked SUV in California, prompting a federal investigation. Zoox also reported a crash after a driver opened a door into its path. Both companies say their systems reacted appropriately.A majority of Americans say they're unlikely to try a self-driving taxi, though younger consumers are more open to the idea.“When something goes wrong, people don't experience it as a statistical issue — they experience it as a moral and emotional one,” said Professor William Riggs.Northwood University and NADA are teaming up to expand education access for franchised dealers, their employees and their families — with discounted tuition, scholarships and a clear focus on building the next generation of dealership leadership.NADA dealer members can enroll in Northwood's online undergraduate programs at $350 per credit hour, with the benefit extending to eligible spouses and dependents.Northwood's DeVos Graduate School is offering 20% MBA tuition scholarships, discounted master's programs and up to $15,000 toward a Doctor of Business Administration.Both organizations say the goal is strengthening the leadership pipeline in a people-driven, capital-intensive retaiJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk are joined by their first-ever guest, David Moss, to discuss his 12,961-mile zero-intervention drive across the country on Tesla FSD, the reality of the Unsupervised Robotaxi rollout in Austin, and the commercial viability of LiDAR sensors in consumer vehicles.The conversation heats up as Walt questions David, a LiDAR LiDAR Salesman on whether the massive data processing requirements of LiDAR could introduce latency, potentially citing a recent Waymo incident involving a child as a case study. David argues that while LiDAR offers theoretical range advantages, the compute wall and cost constraints make it a one-trick pony compared to the scalability of a vision-only stack.While the group debates sensor suites, David shares his on-the-ground experience in Austin, revealing it took 58 attempts to finally secure a ride in a Unsupervised Tesla Robotaxi, and confirmed the fleet is being retrofitted with new cleaning jets for the camera sensors to handle weather occlusion.Looking at the broader robotaxi market, the trio analyzes their Zoox experiences at CES, with David noting the vehicle's braking was significantly harsher than Waymo or Tesla FSD, while Walt highlights the motion sickness challenges inherent in the vehicle's carriage-style seating configuration.In Prediction Corner, the group debates the timeline for Tesla removing the safety driver on highways, with David offering a bullish forecast for Memorial Day, while Walt and Grayson take a more conservative stance, predicting a rollout closer to late 2026.Episode Chapters0:00 Coast to Coast Fully Autonomous in a Tesla Model 310:49 The Next Record12:16 FSD Unsupervised in Austin16:16 Waymo Experience on Uber in Austin17:17 Robotaxi Safety Attendants19:44 Unsupervised Robotaxi Service Area21:43 Sensor Cleaning26:05 Robotaxi, No Highways in Austin, Yet32:11 Zoox Las Vegas Experiences37:13 LiDAR48:07 Why AutonomyRecorded on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 --------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Autonomes Fahren, Robotik und Künstliche Intelligenz verändern derzeit schneller als erwartet, wie Mobilität und Industrie zusammenspielen. Zum Jahresauftakt spreche ich mit Christian Walter und Oliver Kemmann über ihre Eindrücke aus den USA, unter anderem von der CES in Las Vegas sowie aus Kalifornien. Beide blicken bewusst über das klassische Auto hinaus und ordnen ein, warum Elektromobilität auf der CES an Sichtbarkeit verliert, während Autonomie, KI und datengetriebene Systeme dominieren. Ein zentrales Thema ist die neue Normalität des autonomen Fahrens in Städten wie Las Vegas, San Francisco oder Los Angeles. Robotaxis von Waymo oder Zoox gehören dort bereits zum Alltag. Auch Teslas FSD wird kritisch eingeordnet – mit persönlichen Fahreindrücken, klaren Kostenvergleichen und der Frage, warum datenbasierte Systeme in den USA schneller lernen als in Europa. Der Unterschied liegt weniger in der Technik als in der realen Nutzung: Jede autonome Fahrt liefert wertvolle Daten, die hierzulande fehlen. Der Blick weitet sich schnell auf andere Branchen. Autonome Baumaschinen, Landtechnik und Logistik zeigen, dass Autonomie nicht beim Pkw endet. Caterpillar etwa setzt autonome Systeme bereits im industriellen Maßstab ein – mit messbaren Effekten auf Sicherheit, Effizienz und Wartung. Auch autonome Lkw gelten als realistischer nächster Schritt, getrieben durch Fahrermangel, Kosten- und Zeitdruck. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der wirtschaftlichen Perspektive. Versicherungen, Betriebskosten und Produktivität wirken als zentrale Hebel für den Durchbruch autonomer Systeme. Gleichzeitig wird deutlich, dass es zunehmend um KI-Ökosysteme geht: Hardware, Software, Daten und Plattformen wachsen zusammen – nicht nur bei Tech-Konzernen, sondern auch in der Industrie. Abschließend geht es um Europas Rolle im globalen Wettbewerb. Sichtbare deutsche Akteure auf der CES stehen einem anhaltenden Abfluss von Talenten und Kapital gegenüber. Warum Mut, Kollaboration und neue Denkweisen entscheidend sind, um Mobilität, Industrie und Technologie in Europa zukunftsfähig zu gestalten, diskutieren wir offen und praxisnah. Nun aber genug der Einordnung – lasst uns direkt in das Gespräch einsteigen.

Robots, intelligence artificielle, dépendance aux géants américains, nouvelles lois sur Internet… Le mois de janvier a concentré toutes les fractures du numérique. Dans ce Grand Débrief, on prend le temps d'analyser ce que ces signaux disent vraiment de l'avenir de la tech.Le Grand Debrief vous est proposé en partenariat avec Free ProAvec François Sorel (Tech&Co) et Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)CES 2026 : un salon moins spectaculaire, mais plus révélateurLe Consumer Electronics Show de Las Vegas a-t-il perdu de sa magie ? Moins d'annonces grand public, moins d'objets “wahou”, mais un salon qui confirme malgré tout plusieurs tendances lourdes : automatisation, robotique, intelligence artificielle omniprésente et montée en puissance des acteurs asiatiques. Bref, un CES 2026 plus sobre mais qui reflète mieux que jamais l'état réel de l'industrie technologique mondiale.- Voitures autonomes : la réalité derrière le fantasmeLes véhicules autonomes avancent vite… mais pas toujours là où on l'imagine. Waymo, Zoox ou Uber multiplient les expérimentations de niveau 4, capables de circuler sans conducteur dans des zones bien définies. En revanche, le niveau 5, celui d'une voiture autonome partout et en toutes circonstances, n'existe toujours pas.Contrairement au discours d'Elon Musk, le FSD de Tesla reste officiellement classé niveau 2, loin des critères d'autonomie totale.- Robots humanoïdes et “IA physique” : le vrai tournantLe CES 2026 a marqué une étape importante : le passage de l'IA logicielle à l'IA incarnée. Robots humanoïdes, machines domestiques intelligentes, automatisation du monde réel… la robotique entre dans un nouveau cycle. Si l'électromécanique et l'équilibre sont désormais maîtrisés, le véritable verrou reste l'intelligence elle-même.Les modèles d'IA actuels sont-ils capables de comprendre le monde physique, ou faudra-t-il changer de paradigme, comme le défend notamment Yann LeCun ?- La Chine, puissance technologique majeureTrès visible cette année à Las Vegas, la Chine n'est plus dans l'imitation mais dans l'exécution rapide et industrielle. Robots aspirateurs, robots humanoïdes, vidéoprojecteurs, électronique grand public : les innovations chinoises s'imposent par leur qualité et leur vitesse de développement. Un basculement stratégique majeur, qui redessine la concurrence mondiale — et interroge la place de l'Europe.Dépendance à la tech américaine : le réveil européen ?Pendant que les patrons de la tech défilaient au Forum économique mondial de Davos, le Parlement européen adoptait une résolution alertant sur la dépendance numérique de l'Europe. Cloud, logiciels, systèmes d'exploitation, IA : que se passerait-il en cas de tension politique majeure avec les États-Unis ? Faut-il craindre un "kill switch" (coupure totale) ou une dégradation des services ? La question n'est plus théorique, notamment après les menaces commerciales de Donald Trump et les débats autour du Cloud Act. Alors, peut-on réellement se passer de la tech américaine… si oui, à quel prix ?Cloud souverain : solution réelle ou illusion juridique ?AWS, Google et Microsoft multiplient les annonces de clouds souverains européens, comme le projet d'AWS European Sovereign Cloud. Mais une entité juridique locale suffit-elle à garantir une indépendance réelle ? Réseaux sociaux interdits aux mineurs : la fin de la récré ?Dernier grand sujet de ce Débrief : la loi française visant à interdire les réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans. Après la loi sur la protection contre les contenus pornographiques, le RGPD, le DSA ou encore le projet Chat Control, la régulation numérique s'intensifie. Sommes-nous en train d'assister à la fin de l'Internet libre tel qu'on l'a connu ou à une tentative nécessaire de protection face à l'addiction, au temps d'écran et aux effets cognitifs sur les plus jeunes ?-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

Thierry Weber partage son retour d'expérience à bord du véhicule autonome Zoox, testé en conditions réelles à Las Vegas lors du CES 2026. Il décrit une approche radicale de la mobilité, sans conducteur, sans volant et avec un habitacle repensé pour les usages humains plutôt que pour la conduite. Au-delà de la prouesse technologique, Zoox mise sur une ingénierie robuste, une forte redondance des systèmes et une expérience utilisateur proche d'un service de mobilité personnalisé. Un témoignage qui montre que l'autonomie n'est plus une démonstration, mais un changement profond dans notre rapport au déplacement et au temps.

The investigation is looking into a January 17 crash where a Zoox robotaxi hit the driver's side door of a parked car, which Zoox said was "suddenly opened." Also, once symbolic of a mid-2010s San Francisco tech bro, Allbirds is cutting costs to "support the long-term health of the business." Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Ricardo reflects on his participation at CES 2026 through the lens of project management, highlighting a structural shift rather than new gadgets. Using LEGO's smart bricks as an analogy, he explains how projects today extend, not replace, traditional foundations by integrating data, AI, and digital capabilities. He highlights Project AVA, a holographic AI advisor, as an example of projects becoming complex ecosystems where hardware, software, data, governance, ethics, and security must work in harmony. From AI-powered consumer products to robotaxis like Zoox, projects now continue beyond delivery into ongoing operation. Ricardo concludes that project managers are evolving into value orchestrators who connect technological possibilities with meaningful, responsible value for organizations and society. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Neste episódio, Ricardo compartilha os principais aprendizados da sua participação na CES 2026, destacando que o mundo entrou definitivamente na era da Physical AI, a combinação entre inteligência artificial e o meio físico. Ele usa o exemplo do smart brick da LEGO para mostrar que nenhuma empresa está imune à tecnologia e que projetos de transformação digital passaram a ser uma questão de sobrevivência estratégica. Outro destaque é o Projeto AVA, um holograma com IA e presença física, que transforma projetos em sistemas vivos, exigindo integração de hardware, software, experiência do usuário, ética e governança. A CES também evidenciou a presença da IA em produtos cotidianos, robôs e robótaxis como o Zoox. Ricardo conclui que o gerente de projetos evolui de executor para orquestrador de valor, conectando tecnologia, estratégia e sociedade. Escute o podcast para aprender mais!

San Francisco is about to become the only city where four robotaxi companies compete for riders. Waymo has 1,000 vehicles and freeway access. Tesla still needs safety drivers and faces a $240 million legal judgment. Zoox plans paid rides in the second half of 2026. Uber is partnering with Lucid on $100,000 luxury vehicles. I break down each company's technology, timeline, and chances of success.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss CES 2026, Zoox's performance on the Las Vegas Strip and Uber's potential long-term autonomy plans. Zoox's performance was one of those hopefully “only in Las Vegas” moments, as the vehicle was seen stopping in the middle of traffic and blocking entrances on a regular basis. Which raises the question; what is Amazon going to do with Zoox? Do they overhaul management, make an acquisition, or simply shut it down and move on? While Zoox struggled, NVIDIA introduced their open-source Alpamayo AI models under an Apache 2.0 license to accelerate the development of autonomous vehicles and sell more GPUs. Closing out the show, the discussion shifts to hardware and global expansion, contrasting Waymo's bulky new Ojai vehicle with the well-designed Lucid-Nuro robotaxi.Episode Chapters0:00 CES 20262:13 Zoox CES Experience 8:41 NVIDIA's CES Announcements 12:45 SAE Level 216:59 Waymo Ojai19:31 Lucid / Nuro Robotaxi21:29 Does Uber Need to Vertically Integrate Autonomy in the Future?25:05 Waymo / Uber Relationship27:37 Tensor Auto 32:49 Foreign Autonomy Desk34:35 Disgrace of The Week38:24 Next WeekRecorded on Friday, January 9, 2026--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Le CES 2026 de Las Vegas s'achève sur une impression contrastée : moins de révolutions spectaculaires, mais toujours autant de questions de fond sur l'avenir de la tech. Téléviseurs géants, IA omniprésente, robots hésitants et voitures autonomes bien réelles : décryptage sans langue de bois.

Brian Nowak: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Brian Nowak, Morgan Stanley's Head of U.S. Internet Research. Andrew Percoco: And I'm Andrew Percoco, Head of North America Autos and Shared Mobility Research. Brian Nowak: Today we're going to talk about why we think 2026 could be a game changer and a point of inflection for autonomous vehicles and autonomous driving. It's Thursday, January 8th at 10am in New York. So, Andrew, let's get started. Have you ridden an autonomous car before? Andrew Percoco: Yeah, absolutely. Took a few in L.A., took one in San Francisco not too long ago. Pretty seamless and interesting experience to say the least. Brian Nowak: Any accidents or awkward left turns? Or did you feel pretty comfortable the whole time? Andrew Percoco: No, I felt pretty comfortable the whole time. No edge cases, no issues. So, all five star reviews for me. Brian Nowak: Andrew, we think your answer is going to be a lot more common as we go throughout 2026. As autonomous availability scales throughout more and more cities. Things are changing quickly. And we kind of look at our model on a city-by-city basis. We think that overall availability for autonomous driving in the U.S. is going to go from about 15 percent of the urban population at the end of 2025 to over 30 percent of the urban population by year end 2026. Andrew Percoco: Yeah, totally agree. Brian, I'm just curious. Like maybe layout for us, you know, what you're expecting for 2026 in more detail in terms of city rollouts, players involved and what we should be watching for throughout the next, you know, nine to 12 months. Brian Nowak: We have multiple new cities across the United States where we expect Waymo, Tesla, Zoox, and others to expand their fleet, expand autonomous driving availability, and ultimately make the product a lot more available and commonplace for people. There are also new potential edge cases that we think we're going to see. We're going to have our first snow cities with Waymo expected to launch in Washington, D.C.; potentially in Colorado, potentially in Michigan. So, we could have proof of concept that autonomous driving can also work in snow throughout [20]26 and into 2027 as well. So, in all, we think as we sit here at the start of [20]26, one year from now, there's going to be a lot more people who are going to say: I'm using an autonomous car to drive me around in my everyday practice. Andrew Percoco: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And I guess, what do you think the drivers are to get us there, right? There's also some concerns about safety, adoption, you know, cost structure. What are the main drivers that really make this growth algorithm work and really scales the robotaxi business for some of the key players? Brian Nowak: Part of it is regulatory. You know, we are still in a situation where we are dealing with state-by-state regulatory approvals needed for these autonomous vehicles and autonomous fleets to be built. We'll see if that changes, but for now, it's state by state regulation. After that, it comes down to technology, and each of the platforms needs to prove that their autonomous offerings are significantly safer than human driving. That is also linked to regulatory approval. And so, when we think about fleets becoming safer, proving that they can drive people more miles without having an accident than even a human can – we think about the autonomous players then scaling up their fleets. To make the cars and fleets available to more people. That is sort of the flywheel that we think is going to play out throughout 2026. The other part that we're very focused on across all the players from Waymo to Tesla to Zoox and others is the cost of the cars. And there is a big difference between the cost of a Waymo per mile versus the cost of a Tesla per mile. And we think one of the tension points, Andrew, that you can, you can talk about a little bit here, is the difference in the safety data and what we see on Tesla as of now versus Waymo – versus the cost advantage that Tesla has. So, talk about the cost advantage that Tesla has through all this as of right now. Andrew Percoco: Yeah, definitely. So, you know, as you mentioned, Tesla today has a very clear cost advantage over many of the robotaxi peers that they're competing with. A lot of that's driven by their vertical integration, and their sensor suite, right? So, their vehicle, the cost of their vehicle is – call it $35,000. You've got the camera only sensor approach. So, you don't have lidar, expensive lidar, and radar in the vehicle. And that's just really driven a meaningful cost improvement and cost advantage. On our math about a 40 percent cost advantage relative to Waymo today. Now going forward, you know, as you mentioned, I think the key hurdle here or bottleneck, that Tesla still needs to prove is their safety. And can they reach the same safety standards as a human driver? And, you know, the improvement that you've seen from Waymo. You know, to put some numbers around this. Based on publicly available data in Austin, Tesla's getting in a crash, you know, every about, call it every 50,000 miles; Waymo is closer to every 400,000 miles per crash. So today, Waymo is the leader on safety.I think the one important caveat that I want to mention here is that's on a relatively small number of miles driven for Tesla. They've only driven about 250,000 miles in Austin, whereas Waymo's driven close to, I think, a hundred million miles cumulatively. So, when you look back, I think this is going to be the kind of key catalyst and key data point for investors to watch is – how that data improves over the course of 2026. If you track Waymo – Waymo's data improved substantially as their miles driven improved, and as they launched into new cities.We'd expect Tesla to follow a similar trend. But that's going to be a huge catalyst in validating this camera only approach. If that happens, Tesla's not limited in scale, they're not limited in manufacturing capacity. You can meaningfully see them expand… Or you can see them expand quite quickly once they prove out that safety requirement. Brian Nowak: I think it's a great point because, you know, one of the other big debates that we are all going to have to monitor in the AV space throughout 2026 is: How quickly does Tesla completely pull the safety drivers, and how quickly do they scale up production of the vehicles? Because one of the bank shots around autonomous driving is actually the rideshare industry. You know, we have partnerships; some partnerships between Waymo and Uber and Waymo and Lyft. But Tesla is not partnering with anyone. And so, I think the extent to which we see a faster than expected ramp up in deployment from Tesla can have a lot of impact. Not only on autonomous adoption, competition with Waymo, but also the rideshare industry.So how do you think about the puts and takes on Tesla and sort of removing the drivers and scaling up the fleet this year? What should we be watching? Andrew Percoco: Yeah, so they've already made some strides there in Austin. They've pulled the safety monitor. They haven't opened that up to the public yet without the safety monitor. They're still testing, presumably in that geography. They need to be extremely careful in terms of, you know, the regulatory compliance and making sure they're doing this in a safe way. Ultimately that's what matters most to them. We do expect them to roll it out to the public without the safety monitor in 2026. Whether or not, that's the first quarter or the third quarter – is a little bit tougher to predict. But I think it's reasonable to assume whatever the timeline is, they're going to make sure it's the safest way possible to ensure that there's, you know, no unintended consequences as it relates to regulation, et cetera. I think one, also; one important data point or interesting data point here. You know, we model, I think, a 100 percent CAGR in miles driven, autonomous miles driven through 2032. You can talk a little bit about, you know, what the implications for rideshare, but I think important. It's important to contextualize that would still only represent less than 1 percent of total U.S. miles driven in the U.S. So substantial growth over the next, call it six or seven years. But still a massive TAM to be tapped into beyond 2032. And I think the key there is – what's the cost reduction roadmap look like? And can we get robotaxis to a point where they are cheaper than personal car ownership? And could robotaxis at some point disrupt the car ownership process? Brian Nowak: Yeah. And the other more important point around rideshare will be how much do these autonomous offerings expand the addressable market for rideshare and prove to be incremental? As opposed to being cannibalistic on existing ride share rides. Because you're right that, you know, even our out year autonomous projections still have it less than 1 percent of the total trips. But the question is how much does that add to ride share? Because in some scenarios, those autonomous trips could end up being 20 to 30 percent of the rideshare industry. This matters for Uber and Lyft because while they are partnering Waymo and other autonomous players across a handful of markets, they're not partnered in all the markets. And in some markets, Waymo is going alone. Tesla is going at it alone. And so when we look at our model and we say as of 2024, Uber and Lyft make up 100 percent of the ride share industry based on the current partnerships, which includes Waymo and Tesla and all; and Zoox and all the players, we think that Uber and Lyft will only make up 30 percent of the autonomous driving market. And so it's really important for the rideshare industry that when, number one, we see AV's being incremental to the TAM; and two, that Uber and Lyft are able to continue to add more partnerships over time to drive more of that overall long-term AV opportunity and participate in all this rideshare industry over the next five years. Andrew Percoco: I think it's really clear that the future of autonomous vehicles is here and we've reached an inflection point; and there's a lot of interesting catalysts and data points for us and for investors to watch for throughout 2026.So Brian, thanks again for taking the time to talk. Brian Nowak: Andrew, great speaking with you. And thanks for listening.

Deuxième jour à Las Vegas avant l'ouverture officielle du CES 2026, marqué par les keynotes des géants de la tech. NVIDIA, LG et consorts ont donné le ton entre IA physique et robots domestiques. De son côté, Withings continue d'innover en santé.Partenariat : avec FreePro, le meilleur de Free pour les entreprisesNVIDIA ouvre le bal avec l'IA physiqueLors du Media Day, Jensen Huang , le patron de NVIDIA a présenté Rubin, la nouvelle plateforme de calcul succédant à Blackwell, avec des gains spectaculaires pour l'IA. Il a surtout détaillé sa vision de la « Physical AI », une intelligence artificielle capable d'agir dans le monde réel, au cœur de la robotique, des jumeaux numériques et des véhicules autonomes. NVIDIA a aussi levé le voile sur Alpamayo, une famille de modèles IA destinée à la conduite autonome, intégrée prochainement à la Mercedes-Benz CLA pour une autonomie de niveau 3.LG mise sur les robots et l'écran du futurLe constructeur coréen a créé la surprise avec CLOiD, un robot domestique humanoïde capable d'assister aux tâches ménagères du quotidien. LG a également dévoilé une nouvelle version de son téléviseur « wallpaper », un écran ultra-fin de 9 mm, sans fil, et basé sur la technologie micro RGB, l'une des stars de cette édition 2026 du CES.Withings renforce la santé connectéeLa marque française Withings France a profité du CES Unveiled pour présenter une nouvelle génération de balance connectée, pensée comme une véritable station de longévité. Capable de mesurer plus de 60 biomarqueurs, elle intègre désormais l'évaluation du risque d'hypertension et de l'âge du cœur, avec l'objectif d'accompagner les utilisateurs sur le long terme sans les anxiété inutile. Explications de Caroline Lagarde.Bientôt un épisode spécial en voiture autonomeEn marge du salon, Monde Numérique prépare un épisode à part consacré à une balade en véhicule 100 % autonome dans les rues de Las Vegas. Une immersion à bord des robotaxis Zoox, développés par Amazon, à découvrir très prochainement en audio et en vidéo. A ne pas rater ! -----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

Depuis les rues de Las Vegas, Jérôme Colombain et Bruno Guglielminetti embarquent dans un véhicule sans volant ni conducteur. Une immersion sonore et visuelle au cœur de l'une des expériences les plus marquantes du CES.Avec Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)Une première mondiale grandeur natureÀ Las Vegas, la mobilité autonome sort du laboratoire. À l'occasion du CES, Jérôme Colombain et Bruno Guglielminetti montent à bord d'un véhicule 100 % autonome développé par Zoox, filiale de Amazon. Un taxi électrique sans volant, sans pédales et sans chauffeur, désormais autorisé à circuler en conditions réelles sur le Strip.Sensations et conduite autonomeAccélérations franches, arrêts précis, respect strict du code de la route : la Zoox s'intègre naturellement dans la circulation dense de Las Vegas. Le véhicule, autonome de niveau 4, s'appuie sur des lidars et une cartographie très fine de la ville pour gérer feux, piétons et autres usagers, au point que les passagers finissent par oublier qu'aucun humain ne conduit.Amazon, le cloud et la mobilité de demainDerrière Zoox, c'est toute la stratégie d'Amazon qui se dessine. Comme Waymo pour Google, l'enjeu dépasse le simple transport de passagers : collecte de données, intelligence artificielle et puissance du cloud AWS sont au cœur de cette révolution. Une étape de plus vers un futur fait de véhicules autonomes, de logistique robotisée et de services sans conducteur.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

Waymo and Tesla have expanded driverless taxi operations in major US cities, including San Francisco, Atlanta, Austin, and Phoenix. Waymo operates in six cities and plans to enter Dallas, Houston, and Miami, while Tesla is growing its ride-hailing fleet in Austin and San Francisco with plans for Arizona, Florida, and Nevada. Amazon's Zoox runs robotaxis in Las Vegas, Miami, and Seattle. Waymo reports over one million autonomous rides monthly and seeks a $100 billion valuation. Both companies are testing various business models, such as app-based bookings and partnerships with Uber, and are working to access airport and highway routes. The industry faces challenges with incidents, regulatory scrutiny, and the need to achieve financial sustainability without human drivers.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

This week's a big one: the squad kicks it off with Starlink on planes, Zoox vs. Waymo, and YouTube's skinny bundle before taking the big swing — data centers in space as the emerging SpaceX-IPO narrative. Sam and Dave break down the real entrepreneurship skill: tell the huge story, earn the trust multiple, and consistently deliver “20 cents on the dollar” to keep the flywheel of cash spinning (re: Elon Musk and Sam Altman but thread lightly, you don't want to end up like Elizabeth Holmes or Sam Bankman-Fried). Jess celebrates a win with The Information after getting CNBC to correct their reporting. Then they touch on how the backlash against AI is growing as the 101 billboards fill up with more AI company ads. From Sorkin's 1929 zeitgeist to smuggling Nvidia chips into China to “IPO everything and pray the American economy survives,” it's never a dull episode with Brit, Dave, Jess, and Sam.

In den USA und in China kurven Robotaxis bereits durch Grossstädte, zum Beispiel in San Francisco oder in Wuhan. Das neuste Modell der Amazon-Tochter Zoox kommt sogar ohne Lenkrad und Gaspedal aus - die äussere Erscheinungsform hat nicht mehr viel mit einem Auto zu tun, wie wir es kennen. Sind fahrerlose Taxis die Mobilität der Zukunft? Tech-Korrespondentin Marie-Astrid Langer hat die neusten Modelle in Las Vegas getestet. Die Autos von Zoox heben sich deutlich ab vom restlichen Strassenverkehr: Sie sind klein, rundlich und haben kein erkennbares Vorder- oder Hinterteil. Der Fahrersitz samt Zubehör ist komplett verschwunden. Wie gut und sichere die fahrerlose Taxis mittlerweile sind und wann wir die Technologie auch in Europa erwarten können, darüber spricht Marie-Astrid Langer in dieser Folge von "NZZ Akzent".

In this podcast I discuss the evolution of AI in the enterprise and how we shift from a focus on individual productivity to a focus on multi-functional Superagents. In HR, where I focus, the idea of Superagents lets us rethink our HR practices from the ground up and vastly simplify the way our company works. And Superagents bring autonomy to business. Think about it this way in the world of autos. An “Assistant” is power steering or power brakes, helping the driver do their job. An “Agent” is like automatic lane control or collision detection, “taking over” the car under certain conditions. A self-driving car like Waymo or Zoox is a Superagent, shifting to the big goal: getting from point A to point B. In a self-driving car there's no need for a steering wheel or even driver's seat. Likely in a Superagent for recruitment the job of “recruiter” is vastly changed and in a Superagent for L&D an instructional designer may go away. Similarly a “digital twin” does not assist an expert, it literally recreates and expert, enabling that person to free up to do more. Listen to this carefully, it sets you up for some exciting new ideas in your corporate AI solutions in 2026.

Het is officieel: ASML is het beurslievelingetje van Nederland geworden. Het stoot Shell van de troon als meest populaire aandeel in de beleggingsportefeuille. Onder de leus 'never sell Shell' maakte de oliereus in de afgelopen 25 jaar een koersstijging van precies nul procent door. Dus gaat het er bij ASML dan anders uitzien? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Dan hoor je ook of die portefeuille verder een beetje op orde is. En of Nederland Spaarland ook het archief in kan. Want voor het eerst hebben Nederlanders meer dan 200 miljard euro in hun beleggingen zitten. Verder hebben we het over Warner Bros Discovery. Dat gooit het verkoopbord wel heel duidelijk in de voortuin nu. Concurrent Paramount Skydance heeft al verschillende keren een bod gedaan op Warner Bros, maar liep telkens tegen een afwijzing aan. En nu laat Warner Bros weten dat ze een krabbel zetten als er een bod van meer dan 74 miljard dollar komt. Je hoort ook nog hoe de rijksten ter wereld nog meer geld weten te slaan uit hun goudstaven. En hoe Amazon met een ouderwetse truc probeert de markt van zelfrijdende taxi's te veroveren.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanks to our friends at Cars Commerce and Curbee for making it possible. 25% off registration with code MoreThanCars. https://laautoshow.com/meShow Notes with links:As U.S. EV momentum slows, Toyota is increasing its already big bet that hybrids, not full electrics, are the future of American green driving, anchored by a massive new battery plant in North Carolina.Toyota's new $14B plant in Liberty, NC is its largest U.S. battery investment yet.The facility will power hybrid production in Kentucky and Alabama, with plans for EV and plug-in hybrid output.Roughly half of Toyota's U.S. sales are already hybrids or EVs, led by hybrid-only Camry and Sienna models.The RAV4 will become 100% hybrid in 2026, with plug-in sales expected to quadruple.“Regardless of where the regulation goes, we will have the capacity to support our compliance needs,” said David Christ, Toyota North America brand chief.Waymo has a commanding lead in the autonomous vehicle race now launching the first-ever robotaxi service on highways across three major U.S. cities. The move distances it even further from rivals like Tesla and Zoox.New highway service rolls out in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, initially for limited riders.This milestone extends Waymo's reach to San Jose and introduces airport pickups at San Jose International.The Waymo Driver has shown 91% fewer serious-injury crashes compared to human drivers.Waymo now operates over 2,500 vehicles and has logged more than 100 million driverless miles.“The Waymo Driver does not get tired, does not lose focus and does not make emotional decisions behind the wheel,” said project manager Jacopo Sannazzaro.OpenAI has rolled out GPT-5.1, calling it a smarter, more engaging upgrade to its August release of GPT-5—complete with expanded personality settings and model matching enhancements.GPT-5.1 includes “Instant” and “Thinking” variants, optimized for speed, clarity, and task persistence.New personality presets include Candid, Quirky, Nerdy, Cynical, and more, adding tone flexibility.Users will begin to see model auto-matching and personalization tools in settings.The upgrade follows user backlash to GPT-5 and competition from Anthropic powering Microsoft tools.“We're well past the point of one-size-fits-all,” said Fidji Simo, OpenAI's CEO of Applications.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
