Good Morning Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, put on your safety goggles and hold on to your beakers because here comes the science episode.
All the biggest tech breakthroughs of the year and why they matter. It's Tuesday, December 24th. Let's ride.
Good morning and Merry Christmas and Hanukkah Eve. As part of our run of special edition episodes over the holidays, today we're going to be diving into the biggest science breakthroughs of the year. Look, it wasn't hard to find alarming things about technology in 2024. AI deepfakes, chat GPT taking your job, mysterious drones swarming the good folks of New Jersey.
It's a little unnerving. But at the same time, technology has resulted in so much progress, helping create medicines that will save lives, turn AirPods into hearing aids and invent cool gadgets you didn't know you needed, like a transparent TV. And that's what we want to focus on today, the positive sides of tech, because you hear plenty about the downsides.
Call it Morning Brew Daily's Science Fair. So without further ado, Neil, you won the pre-show present wrapping competition. Kick us off first.
Let's do it. Im August gab Google's Autonomous Car Division rund 312.000 Reisen pro Monat, doppelt das Reisevolumen, als es nur drei Monate vorher war. Einige Bestimmungen sagen, dass Waymo jetzt 4% oder mehr vom San-Francisco-Rideshare-Markt betrifft. Und dann in China. Wuhan ist auf dem Weg, die weltweit erste führungslose Stadt zu werden.
Jetzt sind es rund drei in jedem hundert Taxis Robo-Taxis, die von Baidus Autonomous Car Division entwickelt wurden. Es gab Bumpen auf dem Weg. GM hat seine Cruise-Robo-Taxi-Division geschlossen, nach Sicherheitsproblemen, weil es die enormen Investitionen nicht ermöglichen konnte. Aber Waymo wächst wie ein Weed. Es arbeitet jetzt in drei amerikanischen Städten, SF, Phoenix und L.A.
Es wird in Austin und Atlanta nächstes Jahr reisen und dann Miami. Nachdem das, testet es in 25 großen Metro-Ären rund um die Stadt. Tobi, last year we were talking about how angry San Francisco residents were setting fires to Waymos, putting cones on their hoods to incapacitate them.
