Why robotics hasn't left its assembly stage, according to an Nvidia insider
Robotics is stuck in its assembly stage because the industry is still building its own Legos. Amulya Vishwanath, who led product marketing for NVIDIA's robotics platforms for seven years, argues the field remains in a "Lego era," where basic components like actuators and safety standards are being rebuilt from scratch. It is a sobering counterpoint to those expecting a general AI model to suddenly unlock everything. For a related look at how real-world autonomy is progressing, see our coverage of Volvo deepening its Nvidia alliance.
New federal bill seeks national safety standards for autonomous vehicles
A new bill from Rep. Kevin Mullin (D-California) would push federal regulators to set minimum national safety standards for autonomous vehicle operators. It's a direct response to fresh scrutiny over how robotaxi services like Waymo handle emergencies. This feels like a necessary step, not a setback. The technology holds real promise, but public trust depends on clear, enforceable rules. If you're following Waymo's rapid growth, including its recent Texas expansion, this conversation becomes even more urgent.
How emergency exits in modern cars can become safety traps
A series of fatal incidents in which people became trapped inside Tesla vehicles has pushed federal regulators to open a new rule-making process. It is a necessary step, and one that acknowledges a simple truth: vehicle design must prioritize exit above all else. If you are following the broader momentum in Tesla's operations, our coverage of the Tesla Semi production ramp offers useful context on how the company is scaling its ambitions. For now, this safety review deserves close attention.
