"South Korea is saying ‘not so fast’ to Google’s plan to export local map data. They’re citing national security concerns, including the risk of exposing sensitive military sites.

6️⃣ ⚖️
"Apple is facing some serious accusations. Texas-based Fintiv claims Apple stole its mobile wallet technology and used it to build Apple Pay without permission — and without paying.

7️⃣ 🤖
"A journalist sat down for a conversation with an AI clone of Joaquin Oliver, a teenager killed in a school shooting.

"OpenAI just launched GPT-5, the newest and smartest version of ChatGPT yet. It’s faster, more accurate, and better at expert-level tasks like coding and healthcare advice. But with great power comes big questions — about ethics, about jobs, and about how much we should really trust AI in our daily lives."
 
🔟 👗
"Shopping just got a whole lot more personal thanks to Daydream’s AI.

"Amazon’s Zoox robotaxi just passed key safety tests, clearing a big hurdle on the road to launching driverless ride-hailing. With a launch planned in Las Vegas, this could be one of the first autonomous taxi services to hit the streets in a major U.S. city."
 
1️⃣4️⃣ 🌍
"And finally, Baidu and Lyft are teaming up to bring robotaxis to Europe starting in 2026. Their first stops? The U.K. and Germany, with plans for thousands of vehicles. They’re aiming to take on Uber in the self-driving race — and they’re moving fast."
