The DGT has been pressing a five years against Waze or Google Maps. Your solution goes through copying the French model

by

“You don’t know who you warn.” With these words, the DGT warned of the danger of giving the alarm of a traffic control through our mobile phone. It is no accident that The article It will be published in November 2024. The article clarifies the entire phenomenon seen with the one known as “Galician Method”. Last year, a person was denounced for alert 15,000 drivers through messages in a WhatsApp group of Civil Guard controls on the road. The problem is that There is no rule in the circulation code that prevents it. In the last decade, drivers have been perfecting the notices. The DGT points out that in 2012 some applications were already alerted to radars or controls but that the first boom came in 2014 with SocialDrive and Waze. Users had, in real time, information about fixed radars (That the public DGT itself) but also of mobile phones and controls. The second boom came with the Coronavirus pandemic. With the increase in road controls, users multiplied and since then many have climbed into a car from which they no longer get off. Who aspires to skip a Civil Guard control has the tools for it in Google Maps, Waze and even WhatsApp. And that is a real problem if we talk about alcohol and drug controls but also if, for a reason for general security, a device has been mounted to stop the suspect of a crime. Trying to put containment barriers, the Citizen Security Law to try to stop those WhatsApp groups with thousands of users. It is something that the DGT itself recognizes that states that in article 36.23 it is expressly prohibited “the unauthorized use of personal or professional data or professionals of authorities or members of the security forces and bodies that may endanger personal security.” However, they recognize that it is not enough and has been pressed to carry out a modification in the Traffic Law. At the moment, all that there is a proposal for the proposition of the Law born in the Commission on Road Safety of the Congress of Deputies at the proposal of the PSOE. It requested that the text reflect the obligation to “sanction those who provide information that hinders or prevents the control work of breaches of circulation standards”. In France it already applies This new wording would serve to end current doubts. The closest thing to receive a sanction for notifying the Civil Guard control is found in article 100 of the Civil Guard GENERAL CIRCULATION REGULATIONwhere the following is exposed: The use of long -range or road light is prohibited as long as the vehicle is stopped or parked, as well as alternative employment, in the form of flashes of long -range or road light and light or crossing light, with purposes other than those provided in these regulations The problem, obviously, is that this analog acting has been disused. This has led to the DGT has press and emphasize in the last five years that their intention is to chase those who use these applications to notify the controls. In 2020, Pere Navarro, director of the DGT, already put the focus on applications during mobility week in A Coruña where he pointed out his will to “Prevent, hinder or limit” Applications like Waze. The referent can have it in France. There, the famous traffic application cannot show mobile radars to users. It is an anomaly in Europe, as they collect in the Gauling country media. They point out that there the decree No. 2012-3 of January 3, 2012, which modified its circulation code more than a decade prohibits “Possession, transport and use of radar detectors”. However, this application extends to mobile applications, something that does not happen in Spain. Here, The law was modified in 2022 To punish the single presence of a radar detector. Until then the use of radar inhibitors and detectors was punished. For three years, the single presence of these devices is also punished with Fines of 200 euros and three points of the driving card for detectors and six points and up to 6,000 euros in the case of inhibitors. What the DGT wants to get is that the notices in mobile applications are also punished and the first step would be the modification in the traffic law that would allow copying the French model. What applications like Waze do is alert “danger zones”. To skip the restriction, the application allows you to add this notice on road sections, never in a specific position. With this notice, the driver already knows that a mobile radar or traffic control will be found later but is not specified in any case to stick or where it is installed.

The United States seems determined to break its monopolies. And he has an obvious victim between eyebrow and eyebrow: Google

by

The judicial and regulatory offensive of the United States against Google marks a new turning point between that country and its great technological ones. The Department of Justice not only seeks symbolic measures, and here it seeks to reconfigure the rules of the game, turning Google into its main objective and an example for the rest of the sector. The vicious circle of Google. As they point out in The Verge, David Dahlquist, a lawyer of the DOJ, showed in his presentation of the facts how Google benefited from his “vicious circle.” Pay billions of dollars to be the default search engine on virtually everywhere. That leads her to receive more search requests, to have more data, to improve their results, to earn more money and in the end allow to pay more money to further increase that privilege position. Threats for Google. For the DOJ that is a nightmare, and in the antitrust trial against Google it will be seen whether or not these arguments have consequences for the company. At the moment the government is asking for three important things that could impact Radically on the Google business. No agreements to place Google by default. The first request of the DOJ is to prevent Google from reaching those agreements to place its search engine as a default option. The clear example of those agreements is the one with Apple, which it supposedly pays of the order of 20,000 million dollars a year so that all iPhone, iPad or Mac have it as a default search engine in Safari. That would turn Apple into a collateral victim of this case of monopoly. Sell ​​Chrome. It is also considered to force Google to get rid of its browser, Chrome, and sell it. According to Dahlquist, this application represents 35% of search requests and has 4,000 million estimated users. Google states that it is not a business in itself, but to put on sale, it would be a clear objective for other companies. OpenAi has already shown his interestfor example, and It hasn’t been the only. The Duckdugogo responsible assure that Chrome’s value It could be around The 50,000 million dollars. Bachelor data. The third and final request is especially delicate: it would force Google to license all your search data, from its search index to its results. That would allow anyone to use them to “build their own search engine”, a kind of Google fork. One of Google’s lawyers, John Schmidtlein, explained that this would allow anyone to “cut and paste Google search results and show them as if they were yours.” This lawyer also warned that this could also affect the privacy and safety of users. Yield years. That would mean that Google would have to give up (putting on sale) that data, which can be seen as something unfair: they have a quarter of a century tracking and organizing the web information, and now they have to license that work? That would open the doors to a brutal competition with companies that could take advantage of all that filtered knowledge by paying for it. Historical Framework. Although the European Union has been the traditional Némesis of the Big Tech Tech, the United States has also closely watched its large companies. Dismantled The standard oil in 1911 and tried to do the same with Microsoft Two decades ago. Elizabeth Warren, senator who was Presidential candidate In 2020, it has been advocating by Break in pieces to the great American technology companies and made that in part of their presidential campaign. He made an explicit reference to Amazon, Google and Facebook. The courts, parapet of the pressures. While in the regulatory or legislative areas, the lobby – corporate pressure groups – of the Big Tech can exert their influence more clearly, the thing changes in the judicial field, less permeable to these pressures. In the case of Google, the DOJ even proposes the creation of a technical committee that supervises the fulfillment of the decisions it makes, which would further limit the company’s ability to overcome the restrictions.

by

Motorola at last, and how to the car of the artificial intelligence. The Lenovo company today announced a series of important updates for Moto AIhis AI tool suitewith the aim of getting up to your rivals. Rivals that, everything is said, have been exploiting this technology for longer. To plant them, Motorola has not only opted for functions already known as the photographic edition or assistance, but has strengthened ties with the great players of the sector, to know Google, Meta, Microsoft and even Perplexity. This is everything that offers Moto AI. IA arrives in Motorola Motorola Razr 60 Ultra | Image: Xataka AI is not the future, but the present in smartphones. He has a way to go, but the first great advances are here. Samsung was the first to bet on this technology with Galaxy AIprobably one of the most outstanding suites, and the rest of the brands soon got into the wave. Currently, brands such as Oppo, Alive, Xiaomi either Realme And even Apple with Apple Intelligence They offer generative AI tools. He caught the attention that Motorola, a Lenovo brand that presumes to be the fourth manufacturer in Europe and has not stopped growing, was not there. That was until the end of last year. It was then that Motorola announced Moto AIyour AI tools suite, in beta phase. This IA has only been available, so far, in the Razr 50 and Edge 50as well as in the recently announced Motorola Edge 60 Fusion. Today he takes a step further with its launch availability in the RAZR 60 and Moto Edge 60 that the firm has presented in New York. Moto AI premiered in beta on a few devices. Today the new Razr and Edge 60 carry it active as standard That this is an important step for Motorola do not say it, it is assumed to know the alliance they have taken with giants such as Google, Meta, Microsoft and Perplexity To offer the more AI tools, the better. A matter of giving options with the advantage that everything is a touch of distance. What offers (and wants to offer) Moto ai So far, Moto AI offered a relatively limited range of options: Catch Me Up (a notification summary), Pay Attention (to record, transcribe and summarize voice and text), Remembero This (to create a second brain of things to remember in the newspaper app) and Magic Canvas (to generate wallpapers with AI). With the novelties announced in New York, the suite level up and goes on to offer a lot of more juicy functions. The first is Next Move. This function analyzes what is being shown on the screen and offers suggestions on what to do next. You are already looking at recipes for Saturday dinner with friends or planning a trip, you can invoke the AI ​​to suggest options or ideas. Next Move | Image: Xataka Another function, is focused on music lovers, is Playlist Studio. As you can intuit of your name, this function creates custom reproduction lists according to what you are doing. With only one command, for example: “Music for cooking pasta”, prepare a musical selection according to the context. You can also create the list based on what is shown on the screen. Here it should be noted that this function, for now, only works with Amazon Music. Playlist Studio | Image: Xataka Continuing with the most artistic side, Image Studio It allows you to create images, funds and stickers with only one prompt using generative. For those who enjoy photography, Motorola has also included Signature Style and Group Shot. The first is an automatic photo editing system based on the scene. The second, a tool to combine several images in one so that, for example, all people present come out with their eyes open. These two functions will only be available in the most recent RAZR and Edge. Do like us on this trip and Stay connected whatever your destination.

Council offered by the brand In that sense, the integration of Moto AI in the RAZR 60 Ultra does not require even touching the screen. Thanks to the function Look and talkit will be enough to put the semi -pleading phone on the table to make it an assistant of AI capable of, for example, answer questions, summarize notifications or transcribe and summarize conversations Motorola relies on the greats Look and talk | Image: Xataka Gemini and Gemini Live They are also present on the phone. You can access Google’s AI even from the external screen (in the case of Razr 60 Ultra) and, in addition, it is also possible to use Microsoft Copilot. The integration of the latter is in Moto AI, from where the user can ask questions, get answers, etc. Integration with Meta Model Models It has been carried out in the Catch Me Up function mentioned above. It is the first time that this is integrated into a smartphone and, in the case of Motorola, it will allow you to receive notifications even when we have no connection. Third Party Integrations | Image: Xataka It should also be noted that Motorola points to both be the first brand to integrate the perplexity search via. Users can choose “Explore with perplexity” to use their integrated search engine and receive information or deepen a topic, even on the external RAZR 60 ultra screen. This is really interesting and opens the door for Perplexity to open its way in such an important field for growth as it is that of smartphones. Finally, it is worth mentioning that Motorola’s new smartphones have an exclusive button to access Moto AI, in addition to being able to do it from the floating icon or the menu. … Read more

Desperate for competing with Chatgpt, Google has a plan for Gemini to be everywhere: pulling wallet

by

We already know how many monthly users GEMINI has: the same as chatgpt in a single week. 350 million people using Google AI compared to the almost one and a half of OpenAi. And if we know something about Google, it has never liked to have competitors. He Progressive replacement of the Google Assistant By Gemini it was a statement of intentions: Google wanted Gemini to be in absolutely all phones. And no, the pulse has not shaken to get the wallet and force the pre -installation of this app. Google, Gemini and Samsung. A profitable exchange. Samsung is, by far, the manufacturer who More is betting on artificial intelligence in mobile territory. And the vast majority of these functions are behind Google, responsible for the Gemini Nano model of which it uses One UI 7. The a priori agreement could seem the classic Google-Manfabricaro android relationship, but Monopoly trial who is facing Google has made it clear that there is something else in between. Google paid Samsung to pre -install Gemini. Peter Fitzgerald, vice president of platforms and associations of Google devices, testified in the Federal Court of Washington as part of the antimonopoly case of the Department of Justice, According to Bloomberg. In his statements, he acknowledges that Alphabet Inc. paid Samsung Electronics Co. to preinstall Gemini on the company’s phones and devices. This contract, with a minimum duration of two years, establishes fixed monthly payments for each device with pre -installed Gemini, and a percentage of the income obtained by Google with the subscription to Gemini’s payment modalities. Paying to install is not legal. One of the keys to this case is in the precedents. In the past Google paid its partners so that its search engine was predetermined, something that was declared illegal. Since 2020, Neither Google Chrome nor the search for Google are the default options on Android. Google also paid Samsung 8 billion dollars for Google Search, Play Store and Google Assistant to be predetermined in Galaxy mobiles. The federal jury analyzed the case ruled that Google I was abusing his power with these policies. The judge will now have to determine whether Gemini’s pre -installation in exchange for money was legal or not. Gemini, Gemini, Gemini. Gemini is not just Google’s artificial intelligence, it is one of the largest doors at the income level that has been opened to the company in recent years. Although Sissie Hsiao herself is still a service without advertising, charge on Google at the head of Gemini, she has acknowledged that Google is the company to “monetize Gemini with ads as soon as possible. “Motorola cannot get rid of its obligations with Google and that is why they cannot change the predetermined assistant on the device.” Similar practices with other brands are reflected in the framework of the same antitrust judgment. Google’s contract with Motorola (Lenovo Group Ltd.) prevented perplexity AI as predetermined assistant on its devices. “A gun in the temple” according to Dmitry Shevelenko, business director in Perplexity. A trial that can change everything. The American justice, together with the constant persecution of Europe to Google for monopoly practices, have managed to make Android a somewhat more open system to third -party developers. If it ends up declaring illegal that Google Preinstal Gemini as an assistant, Google’s plan to compete from you to you with a GPT that quadruples its active users will be difficult to execute.

In his escape from tariffs, Google wants to move its production to India, according to The Economic Times

by

Alphabet Inc is in conversations with Dixon Technologies and Foxconn (two of its main suppliers) to move part of its global smartphones production to India from Vietnam. According to, The Economic Times. The movement responds to the tariff crisis in the United States, after the imposition of global tariffs and the uncertainty of what will end up happening in countries such as Vietnam, which in the first instance were under a tariff of more than 40%. THE HOUSE OF THE PIXEL. The Google Pixel They are technically American mobile but their manufacture, Like the rest of the big playersIt is out of the United States. Pixel are manufactured mainly in China and Vietnam, two of the countries most punished by Trump’s tariffs. Fleeing from China. Time before the package of measures to fight commercially with China, Google had been trying to get the production of its devices out of China. Almost three years ago we had news about a specific movement: Google was moving the production of the Pixel 7 to Vietnamkeeping in China that of fold models, the most expensive to produce. A movement similar to Samsung’scompany that produces mainly in Vietnam and that has barely a presence in China. If a 10%global tariff is maintained, the supply chain would not suffer too much. If it turned to more than 40% initial, the photograph would change completely. Looking at India. It is not the first time that Google manufactures phones in India through its partners. Initially, the company moved part of the production to this emerging country to supply the local market, and now it would be in conversations with Dixon Technologies and Foxconn not only to produce more phones, but for the production of components. Cases, loaders, fingerprint sensors and batteries, are some of the components that Google wants to stop importing to be able to manufacture them locally in India. In the first tariff ads, India would correspond to a 26%tariff. Times and costs. According to Economic Times, Dixon and Foxconn have been manufacturing between 43,000 and 45,000 Pixel smartphones per month in India exclusively for local market, seeking to make their smartphones could be competitive in price against Apple and Samsung. Dixon is responsible for producing between 65 and 70% of the new Pixel, and Foxconn of previous models. This movement to increase production in India would have a horizon of two to three years, a much shorter term than Google had planned in a pre-aroncel scenario. Currently, Google has almost 14% market share in the United States, so maintaining a competitive price to continue having muscle in its local market is key. They are not alone. The Google movement responds to a practice that the smartphone industry has been executing for years. Apple, who has tried in recent years move part of its production to India, It has not arrived on time, and its supply chain continues to depend mainly on China. Samsung dodged the bullet fleeing to Vietnam, and even the great chips manufacturers have been considering to escape from China to avoid geopolitical instabilities.

Openai remains to have your own browser. Google has just put yours on a tray

by

Google could force you to sell your Chrome browser. The antitrust trial that is being held in the US now goes through its critical stage. The judges already declared that “Google is a monopoly” In the Terrros of Searches and Advertisingand now it remains to know what the consequences will be for this technological giant. The demand for selling Chrome has already generated the interest of a company to which this browser would come as a ring to the finger. Openai would be interested. Nick Turley, product manager at Openai, declared In this judicial process. When asked if in Openai they would be interested in something like that, he replied that “yes, we would be, as would be other companies.” OpenAI wants to be the new Google with its search engine. Sam Altman’s company launched in summer 2024 Searchgptconverted something later In Chatgpt Search. The OpenAi’s search engine is, as perplexityan increasingly striking alternative to the traditional Google search engine, and with it it was clear that the searches are one that OpenAi seeks to dominate. And now also with a chatgpt browser. But it is that in Openai they not only want to have their own search engine, but also their own browser. In November 2024 we learned that the company is working in its own browser that would have integrated chatgpt natively. Developing a browser is a complex task, so if Chrome finally puts on sale, acquiring it and modifying it would be an interesting solution for Openai. We have already seen how Openai Chrome could be. When the company launched its search engine, it did it both with an integrated option at chatgpt.com, and through an extension for the Chrome browser. In Xataka we tried it at that time “I use it since then,” and it is clear that this chrome+chatgpt combination is really striking. Two out of three users use Chrome worldwide. Source: Statcounter Globalstats. “An incredible experience”. Turley highlighted in his statement that having Chrome more integrated in Openai would allow a much better product. “We could offer a really incredible experience” if Chatgpt was integrated into Chrome, he said. “We would have the ability to teach users what they could expect from an AI experience as the protagonist” Chrome is too dominant (and that is great for Openai). Chrome browser market share is currently 66.17% according to figures Statcounter Globalstats. Two out of three users worldwide use it, and only safari (thanks to their integration in iPhone, iPad and Mac) manages to do some shade with 17% quota. Chrome’s imperial domain would solve a fundamental problem for Openai: the distribution and dissemination of Chatgpt to reach more users. Chatgpt would reach everywhere. It is true that Chatgpt’s popularity is remarkable, but Turley himself claimed that there is a big problem with distribution. Although they have an agreement With Apple on iPhonethey have not managed to reach large agreements with Android devices manufacturers. Being able to integrate chatgpt in Chrome would solve the problem with a blow and porrazo and allow its chatbot to be “pre -installed” in hundreds of millions of devices. OpenAi asks for free competition …. The OpenAi manager He also spoke How some of its competitors “They control access points to how people discover products, including ours. People discover them through a browser or an application store. Having real choice capacity drives competitiveness. Users should have the ability to choose.” … for now. It is, of course, an expected speech of someone who at the moment does not have a monopoly and who wants to try to compete with those who do. It is evident that Turley referred to Apple and Google, the two companies that dominate the market and the distribution of products. Before Microsoft did it and took advantage of for example to convert its Internet Explorer browser into the absolute dominator of the market. Did it until The EU forced him to offer other options And until Firefox and finally Chrome won that game. A decisive judgment. After the legal process that declared that Google is a monopoly in the field of searches and that ended a few months ago, now the phase that in the US calls “remedies” is being held, and that focuses on the measures that the Judicial Court must take to solve the problem. This part of the process will last about three weeks, and Google’s future can be huge impacted depending on the decisions taken. A remote possibility. Be that as it may, nothing is much less determined, and an important carambola would have to be produced for OpenAi to end up getting Chrome. To begin with, American justice would have to force Google to definitely sell Chrome. Google would probably appeal, which would lengthen the sentence became effective. And by then Openai may have launched his own browser, but what is certain is that Chrome would also be interested in many other companies, and there would be a struggle and a spectacular bid to get this development.
