Nuro wants to put its technology into a range of vehicle types. | Image: Nuro Nuro, the delivery robot company created by veterans of Google’s self-driving car project, is taking the bold — and risky — step to expand its business model to include robotaxis and personally owned autonomous vehicles. The California-based company, which currently operates a small fleet of delivery vehicles in California and Texas, doesn’t plan to build the vehicles itself. Instead, it will license its autonomous driving technology to outside companies, including car companies who want to use it for advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) and rideshare operators for robotaxis. Nuro uses hardware provided by major companies like Nvidia and Arm to power its Nuro Driver, the company’s branding for the hardware and software used to power... Continue reading…

Adobe’s new text-to-video and image-to-video AI features will be available in beta later this year. | Image: Adobe Adobe has teased some of its upcoming generative AI video tools, including a new feature that can produce video clips from still images. This latest preview builds on the in-development Firefly video model that the software giant demonstrated in April, which is set to power AI video and audio editing features across Adobe’s Creative Cloud applications.

In 40 BC, Mark Antony married Octavia, sister of Octavian (later known as Emperor Augustus). It was a political marriage approved by the Roman Senate to strengthen the alliance between Octavian and Antony during the Second Triumvirate. Octavia travelled with her husband to many different provinces and lived with him in his mansion in Athens between 40 and 36 BC. Their youngest daughter Antonia, known to historians as Antonia Minor to distinguish her from her older sister Antonia Major, were born in 36 BC. Antonia never knew her father. Antonia's mother moved her and her brothers from Athens to Rome as soon as she was born because Antony abandoned them to be with Cleopatra, a love story that began a year before his marriage to Octavia. However, Octavia’s devotion to her husband and brother never wavered. Octavia was a key figure in an armaments bargain struck at Tarentum in 37 BC, in which Antony and Octavian pledged to support each other in their Parthian and Sicilian wars. Following Antony's catastrophic war in Parthia in 35 BC, Octavia brought new troops, supplies, and money to Athens for her husband. Nonetheless, Mark Antony divorced Octavia in late 33 BC and had men remove her from his home in Rome. Antonia was three years old at the time. She was six years old when Antony died.
