Wind energy were happy to promise their expansion in Colombia. Until he ran into indigenous communities

by

La Guajira is one of the departments poorer from Colombia, home of Wayuu indigenous people and a land shaken by some of the strongest winds in the country (there is talk of gusts of 11 m/sa 100 meters high), which has turned the region into a key protagonist of the Government’s commitment to renewable energies. The problem is that these pieces are not easy to fit. As the wind turbines have been raising in La Guajira they have also done it The voices in local communities that warn of their impact and see the green revolution with distrust. There are those who already speak of “The Wind War”. “Only with the energy of La Guajira …” La Guajira, a Caribbean region located northwest of Colombia, It has sun And wind, which makes it a strategic piece for renewables in the country. He made it clear In 2023 President Gustavo Petro, when during the signing of the Pact for the transition Energy said the department has potential for 25 GW. “With the clean energy of La Guajira at its maximum, we could replace Colombia’s electricity generation, including hydroelectric plants,” He stressed. Mill display. He is not the only one who thinks. La Guajira offers a panorama attractive enough so that over recent years it has caught the attention of companies in the sector. In 2019 the Indepaz Institute I calculated that throughout the next decade up to 57 wind projects promoted by 19 companies could be built, many of them linked to multinationals. In summary: tens of thousands of hectares and several thousand self -generators. For now, BBC points out that in the region there are 15 parks under construction that will be added to existing ones, such as Guajira 1with a power of 20 MW. Something more than wind. La Guajira is nevertheless more than a territory in which to lift wind turbines. The Peninsula is also home to Wayuu peoplean indigenous community that has seen how the soil he occupies for generations became the object of desire for energy. With all that that implies. “The situation is complicated since many companies, several of them, began to arrive with the intention of developing renewable projects,” explained A year ago Mikel Berraondo, a lawyer specialized in human rights and indigenous peoples, in an article published in The country. To that factor is added another, just as relevant. According to data from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) of Colombia, at least in 2022 La Guajira was the second department of the country with a Greater poverty index. His fact only overcame him. The area too stands out In studies on “multidimensional poverty” and according to data collected in 2022 in the middle Portfolio Thousands of homes also lack electrical connection. The wind war. The situation in La Guajira has tensioned so much that there are those who already speak of “The Wind War”. And the reason is not so much wind projects themselves as the way they are being deployed. Critical voices They speak of lack of impact studies and a limited participation of communities in the benefits generated by parks. They also question how traditional authorities that represent the peoples settled in the region for centuries have been consulted, which would have in turn referred to conflicts. “Disturb our dreams”. In An article Prepared two years ago María M. Monsalve explains that the Wayuu have questioned the previous consultations that, theoretically, should ensure that the development of wind projects is not done back to them. The reason: according to critics, there are closed pacts with people who do not hold the property of the land or have decision -making capacity. The equation is complicated by the existence of different authorities in the communities, the debate on how to compensate them or the impact of plants on the culture of the natives. “At night, the noise of the turbines disturbs our dreams. For us they are sacred,” Point to the BBC José L. Iguarán. When he now leaves his house in La Guajira, what he sees is a row of mills. What … and how. “There have been no analysis of the risks and studies of impacts on human rights with the participation of the communities. Nor are they seen resolution and mitigation of adverse impacts. And, judging by the complaints that arrive from the Wayuu communities and organizations, the international standards of rights of indigenous peoples ratified in Colombia are not being respected,” laments Berraondo. “Many communities do not oppose the development of projects if their rights are respected.” The debate, served. The issue is complex because other relevant factors are added to the tensions in the community, such as Energy plans from the country or the contributions of companies to the territory. Despite the noise of turbines or how they affect their traditions, Iguarán admits that in certain aspects its people have also been favored with the arrival of the wind farm Guajira i. The company behind the project has financed better infrastructure for water channeling or traffic and pays several communities a quota that depends on the income generated by electricity and the sale of carbon credits. Enough? “Companies are not respecting the right to participation for the benefit of communities and, on the other hand, offer them social investment plans with trap, since they can only execute such plans with the same companies that propose them,” Berraondo trench. A problem with consequences. Beyond the debate generated in Colombia or its media reach inside and outside the country, the situation in La Guajira is relevant because It is affecting to the sector and complicates the plans of the companies. TO late 2024 EDP ​​Renewables, in charge of the Alpha and Beta parks in La Guajira, decided to leave Colombia. The reason: delays and complications in which several factors influenced, such as COVID, but also the increase in indigenous communities involved in the prior consultation phase. In 2023 And after the effect of “Constant” Protests in the … Read more

His future Baza will be in two key cards that promise to change air combat

by

Imagining a combat plane of the future is not difficult. The difficult thing is to build it. That is precisely the ambition behind the storm: a sixth generation hunt that does not intend to resemble current airplanes, but to rewrite how air combat is understood. The project, promoted by United Kingdom, Italy and Japan within the framework of Global Combat Air Program GCAP, does not pursue only a technical evolution. It is a declaration of intentions on technological sovereignty and defense. Tempest is not a simple new generation hunting. The Royal Air Force defines it as “The heart and mind connected to an air combat system”, Able to integrate sensors, weapons and data into a single operating flow. In other words, the Tempest is not only a platform with wings, but the center of command of a swarm of technologies that communicate with each other to make decisions faster. The future hunt seeks to act as the tactical brain of an operation. That translates into a series of simple requirements. One of the most important is autonomy. As explained in the official podcast of the programthe storm aspires to reach a “really extreme” range, wide enough to cross the Atlantic without reposting. At the moment it is an objective under study, not a closed requirement. This autonomy would seek to allow prolonged operations without depending on cistern aircraft, in scenarios where to enter and leave the enemy territory is less challenging. The other key requirement is load capacity. The objective, according to the words of the director of the Team of Requirements and conceptualization of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense, is that it exceeds that of the F-35even reaching Duplicate your total armament capacity. There is no precise figure on the table. What is safe is the ambition to turn the Tempest into a platform that integrates not only more missiles, but also advanced and electronic war sensors, without compromising its stealth profile. The hunting that wants to be brain, muscle and network From the beginning, the design of the Tempest revolves around the idea of ​​a digital ecosystem. BAE Systems, Leonardo, Rolls-Royce and MBDA are working on technologies that are not limited to fuselage. The program is structured around systems such as Isanke (Integrated sensors and non -kinetic effects) and ICS (communications), that will form an intelligent network between fightersdrones and other assets of the battlefield. The goal is for the pilot to have more information, more context and more reaction options than any adversary. An F-35 Florida (left), render of the storm (right) All this requires power. Propulsion power, but also electric. As explained Rolls-Roycethe new propulsion system Not only will the plane movebut it will generate sufficient electricity to feed advanced sensors, electronic war systems and, probably, Laser weapons. The architecture will be open, modular and prepared to receive updates over time, something key in an environment where military technology changes every few years. Manufacturing tasks of the main structure (left), motor tests (right) That approach also moves to the manufacturing process. The project is betting on digital engineering techniques, automation, real -time modeling and simulation by digital twins. The technology demonstrator, which is already built in Warton, will serve to validate all that approach. According to BAE Systems datamore than half of its structural weight, including fuselage and wings, is already in production. In addition, the British Ministry of Defense has confirmed that Part of technological development includes experimental recycling of tornado aircraft components. The so -called project ‘Tornado 2 Tempest‘He managed to successfully print pieces such as a nose cone and blades for a test engine. This is a proof of concept that seeks to reduce costs, minimize the dependence of critical metals and explore new manufacturing paths with lighter and more resistant materials. To all this is added the human factor. More than 2,500 people already work in the program in the United Kingdom. Many of them are young engineers trained within the Generation Tempest initiative. As technological advances and international alliances are added, the Tempest ceases to be a concept to become a tangible reality. The expectations are high and we will have to wait to know if they are met. Everything indicates that it will be a hunt very different from everything known.

Agents are the great promise of AI. They also aim to become the new favorite weapon of cybercounts

by

The AI ​​agents are not the future: they are here. While chatbots like Chatgpt either Gemini They continue to gain ground in tasks that range from solving daily doubts to help you in programming tasks, large technological ones have begun to take determined steps towards a new generation of much more promising systems. They are able to execute tasks, make decisions and adapt to the environment. They not only respond: they act. And that change is presented as a very powerful advance. OpenAi is developing Operatoran assistant who can navigate pages, book trips or manage files. Anthropic proves your own agent with similar functions in controlled environments. Google works in Jarvis, his future digital butler. The idea is clear: delegate real tasks in artificial intelligences. But that same autonomy that makes them useful allies also makes them a potential risk for cybersecurity. Dangerous autonomy. Unlike traditional bots, AI agents are not limited to predefined instructions. They can control an operating system or make decisions depending on the context. In wrong hands, this autonomy could facilitate complex attacks without the need for human experts. Some laboratory tests already show how these models can replicate operations that previously required advanced technical knowledgesuch as automating spying tasks or manipulating system configurations. The threat begins to appear. Although there is no evidence that they are involved in large -scale cyber attacks, signs have begun to appear. Platforms like LLM Agent Honeypot, designed to detect suspicious accesses, have registered interactions with possible AI agents. In two confirmed cases, the agents responded to instructions embedded with a typical speed of language models, which points to their growing sophistication. We do not talk about organized offensives yet, but of an increasingly real phase. Cheaper, faster, more scalable. As Mit Technology Review points outone of the biggest risks is the potential for climbing. An agent can execute automated actions hundreds of times by a fraction of the cost of a human team. For criminals, that means expanding operations with unprecedented efficiency. If today the mass attacks require investment and specialized personnel, tomorrow they could be launched automatically, selecting objectives and exploring vulnerabilities without constant supervision. LLM Agent Honeypot operation operation scheme Detecting them is not so easy. Although current cybersecurity tools are effective against sophisticated threats, agents introduce a new type of challenge. Unlike classic malware, these systems can reason, adapt to the environment and modify their real -time behavior. This ability to mimic with legitimate traffic forces to rethink detection methods and to develop specific techniques to identify patterns of artificial intelligence. The industry is still exploring how far these systems can go. Some investigations show that, given ambiguous instructions, certain agents can execute unexpected actions. Although they still need human support to complete complex attacks, their evolution is rapid. And the most disturbing is not what they can do today, but what they could do tomorrow. And they will do it in an increasingly adverse scenario. According to checkpoint datain the third quarter of 2024, cyber attacks increased 75% compared to the same period of the previous year. Each organization suffered on average 1,876 weekly attacks. Sectors such as education, government or health are among the most beaten, and regions such as Africa, Europe and Latin America registered alarming growth. The hardware industry, for example, saw the attacks grow by 191% in just one year. More than 1,200 ransomware incidents were reported only in that quarter, mainly affecting manufacturers, hospitals and public administrations. If these types of attacks are delegated to AI agents capable of selecting objectives and launching chain offensives, the impact could be shot. The global panorama is tense, and the agents could be the multiplier that the attackers were waiting.

We have convinced ourselves all these years that OLED was the most. Sony Sony with LED RGBs promise to change everything

by

Although OLED technology has advanced considerably in the Smart TVS industry, with technologies as impressive as the latest generation of panels QD-OED of Samsung or the Primary RGB OLED of LG in its new line of televisions, there are manufacturers that are betting even more for the Miniladsince it offers benefits that, in combination with the innovation that is yet to come, could put in a good squeeze those pure blacks and colors of the OLED. Sony is one of those manufacturers. And it already made it very clear to us in 2024 with its commitment to Minned technology with its Bravia 9being the type of panel chosen for its most premium televisions range after that excellent A95L of 2023. Recently, we have seen that this movement still makes more sense, since they have just presented The new technology in which they will bet in 2026: RGB LED. This is how a minied panel could behave like an oled The company has just revealed that they are working to integrate this new type of technology into their future televisions. His intention is to incorporate An RGB LED matrix to backlit the panels of its televisions (Currently, the LEDs of the retroiluminated matrix are all blue). This, unlike the most leading minied panel panel system, means that, in addition to brightness control through local attenuation zones, it could also be reached control one’s color and luminosity of LEDs of the unit that backs the panel. Conventional LED backlight system by zones. Image: Sony This would translate into a better management and control of the brightness and color of each scene, which in broad strokes could Simulate the behavior of organic and self -emissive LEDs of the OLED, but with the advantage of the greatest brightness of the Minned panels. The system allows Sony to adjust the luminance in line to the gradation of the color itself The RGB retroiluminated panel (Red, Green, Blue) would offer high density backight with the ability to Individually control the three primary colorsas indicated from Sony. The company ensures that the panel allows each RGB color to emit light independently, promising great purity in color and the possibility of reproducing a range of broader and brighter colors. It is not the first time that Sony embarks on this technology. In fact, in 2004 he showed the first LCD TV in the world with Full Array LED RGB backlit. From that moment, the company has been following this system very closely, and now that current technology allows great brightness control through local attenuation zones, it was time to boost this technology again. RGB LED system, eliminating the quantum points layer and offering control of the color and brightness of each LED in the backlit matrix. Image: Sony Sony promises a coverage of the 99% DCI-P3 color space and approximately 90% in the ITU-R BT.2020 standard. Combining independent RGB LED control with the control of the attenuation zones of its televisions, Sony promises Scenes with much more contrast and colorin combination with the already excellent brightness offered by their panels, touching the 4,000 peak nits. Color volume of each technology. Image: Sony The system allows Sony to adjust the luminance in line to the gradation of the color itself. In this way, the company promises reach much more living and bright details. In addition, the system would process the signal at high speed, with rates of up to 96 bits. That LEDs allow us to reproduce primary colors means that The panel would not need aggressive color filters in pixels such as quantum points panels. This causes less light to be absorbed during the process, which allows the panel to work more efficiently. Sony will start producing them this year, but it is not the only Sony is collaborating with Mediatek for the development of chips that will be in charge of controlling each of the individual backlit leds. According to the company, The system will begin to produce in series this yearwith the aim of integrating technology into consumer televisions and screens for content creation in 2026. The company has not been the first to announce the arrival of this technology on its televisions. In fact, signatures like Samsung, Hisense and TCl have already been encouragedwith a view to seeing the first in the market to include this technology during the second half of 2025. For Sony, entering this technology makes a lot of sense in its strategy, as the company went from considering its QD-Osed model as its most premium range to the Bravia 9 with Minned technology and its performance very close to its reference monitor. The company, with its motto ‘Cinema Is Coming Home’, aims to give priority to color reproduction as masterful in recording studios, bringing that experience home. And the combination of its already excellent Minned technology, management of local attenuation zones, and now its backlit matrix with RGB LEDs, allows you to easily facilitate that task.

SMR reactors are the great promise of nuclear energy. The United States pilot project has failed

by

Fission energy based on small modular reactors (SMR) is the great promise to complement renewables in the energy transition. But the failure of the first pilot project in the United States has highlighted the economic challenges that could stop its development. The advantages of SMR. With nuclear fusion energy in diapers, the promise of a safer, cheap and efficient fission nuclear excites political leaders and technological equally. SMRs have clear benefits regarding conventional fission reactors: they are Compact unitsdesigned to be manufactured in series; Therefore, in theory, they can be transported and assembled rapidly, adapting to different locations to integrate into the electricity grid together with intermittent sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines. The Nuscale case. With their compact size and modular design, SMRs should considerably reduce the cost and construction times of large nuclear reactors. However, reality proved to be more complicated For the first pilot project in the United States. The Nuscale project, developed by the Nuscale Power company for small Utah communities, was canceled at the end of 2023, when it was supposed to be inaugurated, due to its crazy cost overruns. It had been projected in 2015 with 12 reactors capable of generating 600 MW of power for 3,000 million dollars. By 2023, The planned capacity of the plant had been reduced to 462 MW and the estimated project costs had climbed up to 9.3 billion dollars. He became unfeasible. A scale problem. Despite their modular nature and the aspiration to produce them in series, SMRs are an emerging technology that does not have the advantages of the scale economy, as renewables do. A German report He revealed that SMRs remain the most expensive option against renewable technologies, whose costs continue to decrease This already happened with conventional nuclear energy. A 2014 study He revealed that 180 nuclear projects analyzed, 175 had exceeded their initial budget with an average overrun of 117%. The SMR can be expected, at least initially, also raise the cost per megavatio compared to other more settled options. Many interested. Despite these financial challenges,The industry sees potential in SMR. Giants like Google, Microsoft and Amazon They have announced agreements to acquire energy from future projects of modular reactors of companies such as Kairos Power and X-Energy. These investments, driven by the energy consumption of artificial intelligence, could provide the financial impulse that the industry needs to solve long -term economic problems, with the expectation that costs decrease as more projects are built.

Spotify prepares a new subscription option, according to Bloomberg. Music Pro will come true the ancient Hifi audio promise

by

It seems that this time is serious. Spotify could be closer to comply His former promise to offer higher quality audio to its users. Bloomberg points out that the Swedish firm is preparing a subscription option called Music Pro that will include this and other improvements for those who seek an experience a step beyond Premium. The sources consulted by the aforementioned medium say that Spotify is still working on the price and in the schedule, but they hope to launch the new level at the end of this year for additional $ 5.99 in the United States. At this time it is not clear if the supposed novelties will expand to other markets, including the European Union. Good news for audiophiles In the best case, paying a subscription and listening through the application, Spotify offers sound in AAC format with a quality equivalent to 320 kbps. Taking into account that the loss -less audio bits rate begins around 1,411 kbps, this shows how compressed are Spotify files. And while the service created by Daniel EK has the largest number of planet users, several less popular alternatives offer higher quality audio. There are Apple Music, Amazon Music HD or Tidal, who have been betting on this ideal possibility for audiophiles for a long time. Spotify will seek to make a difference with its new proposal. In addition to offering better quality audio, streaming service will allow subscribers to mix songs by different artists. For this characteristic it will use artificial intelligence, but it will not be the only thing. The additional payment of $ 5.99 The door will open to buy tickets for pre -sale concerts or access better seats. In any case, there is no official confirmation, so we will have to wait to know if this will end up materializing. Even having an official confirmation the ideal would be to wait. In its 2021 Stream On event, Spotify announced with bombs and dishes that would offer “Music with CDs without losses” at the end of that year. Four years have passed since that announcement, and not only the promise is still not fulfilled, but the video in which Billie Eilish participated, which was originally on YouTube, It has disappeared (Now it is private). In addition, la page with more details also It has been eliminated. Over time we will know what will really happen.

Elon Musk made his nth promise on autonomous driving and Tesla will pay him expensive (already stockings)

by

If something has characterized the direction of Elon Musk in front of Tesla, they have been his grandiloquent phrases and his promises of doubtful credibility. One of them is a classic that can now cost Caro: all its cars can be updated to their most advanced autonomous driving system for free. Musk already admits that they will have to take a hard cost. A key business. Autonomous driving is, for Tesla, one of its key businesses for the future. The company already said in 2023 that it could make money exclusively with the software of its cars and that they could make their cars profitable without winning a single euro with the vehicle itself. Since then, Elon Musk has been selling the benefits of its autonomous driving systems. Similarly, the company has been sliding that it is In conversations with third parties to act as suppliers of your driving aid systems. And to this we must add the promise that from next year we will see the Tesla Robotaxis in the streets. The FSD. That autonomous driving has a name and surname within Tesla. Full Self Driving (FSD). A driving aid system that, for the moment, continues to force the driver to be at all times aware of what happens around him in case he has to intervene. The name has been a reason for controversy, DECEÑIOUS ADVERTISING FACKING Because he implies that he has more capacities than he really offers. In fact, Ford with Bluecruisewhich allows you to remove your hands from the steering wheel although keeping your attention, and Mercedes, which does not force you to maintain attention In very specific circumstancesThey seem to have come further. In the specific case of Tesla, their cars are sold with Three well -differentiated packages. Basic assists includes adaptive cruise control and lane change. The improved autopilot package adds functions such as automatic lane or parking (and exit) without human intervention. Finally, the FSD or “Total Autonomous Driving”, as Tesla sells in Spain, adds the stops and torn in the traffic lights and, “in the future, self -admitted in urban areas. The eternal promise. The FSD has been one of Tesla’s great promises in recent years. The price of buying a car with active FSD or “total autonomous driving”, as sold in Spain, adds 7,500 euros to the price of the car. Another option is to activate it in the coming years when we consider it appropriate from our website. That future option is what seems to be complicating Tesla. On its website the following is read in the frequently asked questions section: As of April 2019, all new Tesla vehicles come standard with the autopilot*, which includes cruise control adapted to traffic and autogyro. Some exceptions can be applied. For vehicles without the autopilot software, but equipped with the necessary hardware, you can buy the autopilot, the improved autopilot or the total autonomous driving capacity at any time through its Tesla account; The necessary autopilot software will be added to your car.A necessary update . Since 2016, Tesla has been promising that all their cars would have the necessary hardware to support the functions of total autonomous driving, including those of“Level 5” . That is, the car can move without human intervention, as if it were a robotaxi. In 2019, however, the company had to confirm that the autonomous driving system would require greater computer power. SoThey presented the HW3 a computer designed to allow these functions. Given the promise that cars sold since 2016 could have these functions, cars already sold for free to interested drivers were updated. In 2023, again Tesla has to expand the computer capabilities of its cars with a new hardware. The long -awaited HW4 arrives That now, yes (it is supposed) it will allow a completely autonomous driving. But from the company the message is launched that drivers whose cars use the HW3 should not worry because the new software will refine to make it compatible with their vehicles.They are not valid . A year later, in October 2024, Elon Musk begins to slide the idea that cars with HW3 will not be able to count on the latest advances in autonomous driving and, therefore, they will not be able to enjoy their FSD program. We are not 100% safe. HW4 has HW3’s capacity several times. It is easier to make things work in HW4 and a lot of effort is needed to put that in HW3. There is the possibility that HW3 does not reach the level of security that allows non -supervised FSD. Words pick them upElectrek where, in addition, they explain the difficulties that the company would have to update its cars at the technical level. According to the medium, it is almost impossible due to the limitations of the hardware The Tesla Model and should be the change of paradigm in Europe. It has been destroyed as a best selling car by Dacia SanderoFree . At that time, Elon Musk already warned that if the company did not find a way to make the HW3 compatible with the total autonomous driving would launch a free update campaign of the hardware of the vehicle for all those who had acquired the car with these functions. Months after these first statements, Elon Musk has confirmed that all cars that were bought with the FSD package already active will be updated for free. “We will have to replace all HW3 computers in vehicles where FSD was bought,” Musk said At the last meeting with shareholders.Half fulfilling . In his statements, Musk made it clear that they would only be the cars that acquired the FSD package when buying it the cars that will receive this update for free. This leaves out, therefore, those who did not do first and chose to subscribe to the functions of driving aid. Therefore, Tesla would be halfway. In their day they promised that all cars bought from 2016 would be completely autonomous. This is only possible, … Read more

NVIDIA postpones Tesla’s great promise to the next decade

by

Autonomous driving. That eternal promise that is supposedly worth billions of euros, that we are always brushing with our fingers and that, in the end, never seems to arrive. The last to express their doubts have been those responsible for NVIDIA. “It’s super difficult”. The words are from Ali Kani, head of NVIDIA’s automotive division, who spoke with the magazine Coach about the future of autonomous driving. “It’s something typical of the next decade. We are not close. It is super difficult,” Kani assured journalists. The question referred to “truly autonomous cars” of which the head of NVIDIA. It is clear that “we will not see them in this decade.” Kani pointed out that cars currently do not have the power or the technology necessary to implement autonomous driving in the short term. A new way of working. Regarding how they work at NVIDIA, Kani assures that what they are doing “is very different” from what they did a year ago. He assures that they are “working on large language models such as GPT Chat with video.” And he emphasizes: “no one was doing this three years ago.” The problems. Basically, we do not have enough computing power to guarantee autonomous driving in the short term. “This type of model needs a lot more computing power, a lot more memory bandwidth. You need more LiDAR sensors and radars, redundant algorithms to make sure it’s safe. All of that has to work in parallel, which means more computing.” Furthermore, NVIDIA is clear that it is not just a matter of raw power. It’s also about giving a good image to potential customers and showing that you can travel safely. “The industry needs to go slow with this. If one company makes a mistake, the entire industry is set back a few years. So we have to act in the most responsible and don’t take any shortcuts. You can only do it when you have proven that it is really safe,” concludes Kani. A different approach. If we take what NVIDIA claims as a reference, the company works in a completely different way than Tesla tries to do. Technology makes it clear that radars and LiDAR sensors continue to be essential, components that Tesla wants to eliminate to trust everything to the use of cameras and recorded images. What Elon Musk’s company defends is that It has a huge fleet of vehicles already on the streets and that everything recorded by them allows their algorithms to learn faster than the competition. They hope, therefore, to spend less money and time to go beyond where Waymo or Cruise have gone. In 2027. The perspectives that come to us from NVIDIA are also very different from the promises that Elon Musk has made about his Tesla Cybercab. According to the owner of Tesla, his fully autonomous cars should be on the streets in 2027 despite his claims “Be unoptimistic with deadlines”. Then he said that next year he will be manufacturing his robotaxis. A promise that, as on so many other occasions, doesn’t seem too realistic. However, Musk is confident in his approach to Donald Trump to open the hand with the tests of autonomous vehicles and deploy their services more quickly. The eternal promise. The truth is, whether we’re talking about Tesla or any other company, the promise of the fully autonomous car always seems to be about to arrive. And it never seems to end. Waymo keeps going but Cruise has fallen by the wayside and has joined a long list of failed attempts. The truth is that Cruise has managed to launch the service in limited spaces but it is also true that the behavior of its cars it was easy to manipulate and who has lived in a eternal controversy of accidents and encounters with San Francisco emergency services. During all this time, Tesla has not managed to make its Autopilot a truly autonomous service and requires human attention. Ford’s BlueCruise also needs it, although in this case can be driven without hands on previously mapped roads. Mercedes does not require it but your system is limited to very specific circumstances. And a bag of millions. Despite everything, there are billions at stake with autonomous driving. Or that’s what they promise us. One of the most optimistic forecasts is that of Tasha Keeney, director of investment analysis at ARK, who quantified in one of his analyzes collected by The Wall Street Journal The value of a robotaxis service like the one Tesla is looking for could account for 60% of the company’s income in 2029 and raise its valuation to $800 billion.
