Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien Yes--this war has opened up the question of the future of drones. They will undoubtedly become faster, smaller, more accurate, more powerful etc. We think we see what UAVs are, but really we are looking at what aircraft can do in 1916 and have only a vague idea of what's coming. Quote Tweet Mick Ryan, AM @WarintheFuture · 23h Launch the drone! Drone launches are one of the iconic images of the war in #Ukraine (as are #HIMARS launches). Thanks @combined2forces

Quote Tweet The San Francisco Standard @sfstandard · Jun 3 State commissioners are set to approve 24/7 Cruise and Waymo robotaxi service in San Francisco, and local authorities aren’t pleased. https://sfstandard.com/transportation/san-francisco-officials-make-last-ditch-effort-to-block-robotaxi-deployment/?taid=647b2c3cab5b67000179ba1a&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
