Serve Robotics, which makes autonomous sidewalk delivery bots, and Wing, Alphabet’s on-demand drone delivery service, announced a pilot partnership on Tuesday meant to expand autonomous last-mile food delivery in Dallas.
In the coming months, select Wing deliveries will be picked up by a Serve robot from a restaurant curbside and delivered to a Wing drone AutoLoader a few blocks away for aerial delivery to customers. The effort will allow Serve to expand its market to a broad
In an era when local newsrooms are stretched thinner than ever, keeping up with the constant deluge of government regulations and updates can feel impossible. As federal regulations only continue to grow in complexity and volume, journalists face the challenge of not only sifting through the data but in discerning what matters most for their communi

The African continent looks set to realize around $230 billion in financial sector revenue by 2025, despite various political and economic challenges, according to a McKinsey report on Africa’s evolving fintech industry.

My iPhone 13 Pro Max was working just fine when I decided to upgrade to the latest model.
The 13 Pro Max still feels fast, takes excellent photos, and easily lasts all day on a full charge even at 88% battery health. The usual improvements you expect from a new iPhone—faster processor, better cameras, longer battery life—would be lost on me in day-to-day use.
