At a Paris event flanked by robot ducks, Jensen Huang made the case for Europe's AI ambitions while Nvidia unveiled its Hyperion platform as the backbone for a wave of European robotaxi and safe-vehicle development. The announcement landed alongside news that Lucid will put 25,000 Bolt vehicles on the road as robotaxis running Nvidia's self-driving software, underscoring how central the chipmaker has become to the autonomous vehicle supply chain on both sides of the Atlantic.
A trio of stories capture how far brain-computer interface technology has come and how many roads lead there. Wired profiles Rodney Gorham, who has lived with Synchron's implant for five years—longer than any other patient—using it to control his home by thought alone. Meanwhile, explainers on Neuralink and a comparison piece pitting Neuralink's invasive implants against BrainCo's wearable sensors lay out the industry's competing bets on how intimately the brain should be wired into machines.
