Here's a quick look at today's AI briefing

Waymo's new driverless technology should be able to handle a wider array of weather conditions without requiring as many cameras and sensors. The upcoming Waymo-Zeekr has an accessible interior with a low step, a high ceiling, more leg room, and other features. The car system has a 360 view of obstacles and its sensors have wipers to clear them of most dirt and precipitation. Pictures of the sixth-generation self-driving car are available in the article.

If you’re looking for AI art tools, you won’t find them on Procreate. The popular iPad design app released a statement on its website today that it will never introduce generative AI features into its products even if it puts the company “at risk of being left behind.”
