Episode Synopsis

Introduction:
In today's news roundup, we begin with Waymo’s driverless cars now hitting 65 mph on US freeways, commercializing paid robotaxi rides ahead of Tesla. We will analyze why this methodical launch marks a turning point and how it influences the race for full vehicle autonomy. Next, a UK retailer is set to cut two-thirds of its workforce within three years, driven by AI, automation, and government policy pressures. We will explore how this rapid shift toward automation could transform retail jobs across Europe and impact customer service standards. Then, AI startup Code Metal has raised $36.5 million to advance technology that translates legacy code across platforms, securing major contracts with the US military and industrial sectors. We’ll examine how this innovation addresses technical debt and challenges conventional AI code generation. Following that, Tencent’s international gaming revenue has surged 43%, powered by a hybrid AI approach, positioning the company as a strong contender against US cloud giants in Europe. Finally, backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived has launched a secondary market for its $100 real estate shares, creating new liquidity in housing investments. We’ll analyze the implications of this novel real estate stock market and its potential to accelerate financialization in the housing market.
