It’s been a while since we last heard about this data center, but more news … Continue reading

It has been over a month since Uber grounded its entire fleet of self-driving cars following an accident in Tempe, Arizona in which one of its self-driving cars struck down a pedestrian. It was the first known fatal accident involving an autonomous cars and the investigation is still ongoing. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has now said that the company will likely start testing its self-driving cars on public roads once again “in a few months.”
Once it had grounded its entire fleet of self-driving cars, the company said that it would wait for the preliminary report from federal traffic investigators before deciding when to restart the testing program.
It appears that Uber will soon put the cars on public roads once again. Khosrowshahi said that he expects Uber will roll out the cars once again after the National Traffic Safety Board’s report comes out and after the “top-to-bottom” internal safety review being conducted by the company is completed.
The findings of the report will certainly have an impact on how Uber proceeds with its self-driving car tests. A recent report suggested that Uber’s autonomous driving software had been tuned in such a way that it essentially decided on its own that it didn’t need to take evasive action. It had probably flagged the incident as a “false positive.”
Khosrowshahi said that Uber has been working “hand in hand” with the NTSB, it has cooperated with the authorities throughout the investigation as well.

You might have heard about Sirin Labs when it launched a proclaimed ultra-secure Android smartphone that was priced at $16,000. As you can imagine, there aren’t a lot of people willing to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a smartphone which is why the project fizzled out and the Sirin Labs Solarin handset was discontinued last year. The company now has another handset in the pipeline but it’s a different device. It’s going to be a blockchain smartphone. Sirin Labs has now confirmed the specifications for Finney which is what it claims to be the world’s first blockchain smartphone.
According to the company, Finney is going to feature a 6 inch 18:9 aspect ratio display with a Snapdragon 845 processor and 6GB of RAM as well as 128GB of storage. It will also feature a 12 megapixel rear and 8 megapixel front camera, a 3,000mAh battery, fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and a cold storage wallet for your digital currencies. It’s going to be powered by Android 8.1 Oreo.
Sirin Labs has already contracted Foxconn as the manufacturer for this device. The Chinese company will mass produce this smartphone for Sirin Labs which is expected to cost $1000. The Finney handset will also have Sirin OS and a Token Conversion Service which will enable seamless and automatic token conversions for use in different decentralized applications.
It was also reported recently that Huawei is working on a blockchain smartphone of its own. The company is believed to be working with Sirin Labs on this project. It may source the Sirin OS for running blockchain apps on its blockchain smartphone though there hasn’t been a confirmation from the company about this as yet.
