There have already been several attacks on robotaxis (here and here), but this time there was a particularly brutal incident. An empty Waymo Robotaxi that had been traveling on Jackson Street between Stockton and Grant around 9:25 p.m. was surrounded by a group of ten to fifteen people, attacked, windows smashed and then set on fire with an incendiary device
The fire department was called and extinguished the fire. A series of videos show the attack and the fire.
In recent months, there has been some controversy surrounding robotaxis in San Francisco, which has also been inflamed by statements from local authority representatives. The fire chief, for example, had spoken out against robotaxis because they would hinder operations. He therefore had to apologize afterwards and correct that this statement had been exaggerated. A crash involving Cruise also led to an investigation and the temporary suspension of Cruise’s robotaxi service.
KREATIVE INTELLIGENZ
Über ChatGPT hat man viel gelesen in der letzten Zeit: die künstliche Intelligenz, die ganze Bücher schreiben kann und der bereits jetzt unterstellt wird, Legionen von Autoren, Textern und Übersetzern arbeitslos zu machen. Und ChatGPT ist nicht allein, die KI-Familie wächst beständig. So malt DALL-E Bilder, Face Generator simuliert Gesichter und MusicLM komponiert Musik. Was erleben wir da? Das Ende der Zivilisation oder den Beginn von etwas völlig Neuem? Zukunftsforscher Dr. Mario Herger ordnet die neuesten Entwicklungen aus dem Silicon Valley ein und zeigt auf, welche teils bahnbrechenden Veränderungen unmittelbar vor der Tür stehen.
