Last August, a fire ripped through 10 acres of grass on either side of California’s I-280 near Redwood City.

Researchers created a liquid-metal artificial pupil that automatically adjusts to light, helping robots and self-driving systems see more accurately in changing environments.

Waymo is opening its robotaxi services to the public in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Orlando, as the Alphabet-owned autonomous vehicle company quickens its pace of expansion.
