Brian Martin discusses the real-world performance costs of metrics libraries and shares strategies for low-overhead, "fearless" instrumentation. Drawing from his work at IOP Systems, he explores atomic primitives, per-CPU sharding, lock-free histograms, and eBPF integration to help software architects and engineering leaders maintain full system visibility without sacrificing performance.

Uber launches first robotaxis in London (with human supervisors).

Uber beat out Waymo in launching a commercial robotaxi service in London, the city's first. The vehicles use autonomous driving tech developed by Wayve, a UK-based startup, and will initially feature safety drivers behind the wheel. The launch is a milestone for Uber, which has been plotting a UK launch with Wayve for several years. […]

If approved, the combined company would become one of the largest food delivery platforms in the world.

I think automakers are finally getting the memo. Rather than try to reinvent the wheel with its new electric vehicle, Range Rover just made one that looks nearly identical to its lineup of gas-powered SUVs. They didn't try to pass off some sleek, spaceship-looking pod as a Range Rover. Sometimes familiar designs are the way […]

Uber is laying off about 3,300 people, or about 10% of its global headcount, in a bid to reduce management layers and invest more in its ride-sharing, delivery, and robotaxi divisions.

The company told TechCrunch he is "pursuing new endeavors."

Double-check before you accidentally remove a protective layer of your screen.

Waymo argued that fully autonomous vehicles aren't possible without using a mix of sensors and warned that pure end-to-end AI systems aren't safe enough.

Waymo robotaxi rides are now open to the public in Denver, San Diego and Tampa.

Flock's searchable network of 130,000 license plate cameras around the U.S. have sparked bipartisan privacy and civil liberties concerns.

Newlight has raised a $9 million seed round and completed an 8,500-nautical-mile test run from Singapore to Ghana.

Waymo will begin inviting riders on a rolling basis and slowly ramp up access in the three cities, following its usual commercial playbook.

Yao Yue discusses the fundamental limitations of standard line charts for system observability. Drawing from 15 years of operating large-scale systems, she shares how engineering leaders and software architects can transform telemetry data - moving beyond simple time-series defaults - to build visualizations that directly answer critical capacity, latency, and fleet-sizing questions.
