Jake Mannix discusses moving AI agents past chaotic "1970s BASIC" architectures. He shares how implementing an intermediate protocol layer allows engineering leaders to build versioned, encapsulated "virtual tools." This design enables interface mapping, dynamic schema projection, and runtime taint tracking to proactively eliminate data exfiltration risks without slowing velocity. By Jake Mannix

Electric aviation is still in its infancy, but manufacturers are already looking beyond mere air taxi trips across cities. Today, one of the leading air taxi startups, San Jose-based Archer Aviation, unveiled a new aircraft it co-developed with defense technology company Anduril - though the platform is designed for both military and commercial uses, the […]

Max Korbacher explains why successful internal development platforms cannot be built on tech alone. He discusses the pitfalls of infrastructure-first thinking, the importance of a clear product mindset, and how to measure real value using DevEx and SPACE metrics. Learn how to align your team, manage tech debt, and foster a thriving community to ensure lasting platform adoption. By Max Körbächer

Welcome back to TechCrunch Mobility, your hub for the future of transportation and now, more than ever, how AI is playing a part.

The line between editorial content and paid promotion has been eroding for years. On most major retail platforms, in countless lifestyle publications and across the breadth of social media, content that presents itself as independent assessment is frequently underwritten by the very brands being assessed. This is not a new problem, but it is a worsening one. The consequences are practical. Consumers who believe they are reading a review and acting accordingly may be making purchasing decisions on the basis of what is, in effect, an advertisement. The financial cost of that mistake is modest in most individual cases. The cumulative effect on consumer trust is not. Understanding what separates a genuine review from disguised promotional content requires more than checking for a disclosure label. It requires looking at structure, incentive, methodology and language - and recognising that some of the most effective adverts are those that most convincingly resemble reviews. What a Review Is Actually Supposed to Do A review serves one primary function: to help a reader make an informed decision about a product, service or brand. That function is incompatible with advocacy. A reviewer who is trying to help a reader decide cannot simultaneously be trying to persuade that reader to buy. This distinction sounds obvious. In practice, it collapses quickly when the person writing the review has a financial relationship with the brand, when the product was provided free of charge without conditions, or when the publication depends on advertising revenue from the sector it covers. None of those arrangements automatically invalidates the content produced. But each one creates a structural incentive that pushes in a specific direction - and that direction is rarely towards harder scrutiny. The Disclosure Problem Regulatory frameworks in the UK, including guidance from the Advertising Standards Authority and the Competition and Markets Authority, require that paid-for content be clea

On July 19th, dozens of teams of high school students will begin a five-day, 630-mile road race from Fort Worth to Fort Stockton in Texas. But this is not your typical contest. The students design and build the cars themselves, using off-the-shelf parts and 3D printed materials. The winner is the team that accumulates the […]
