Self-driving cars are a great idea in terms of convenience and potentially safety once they become the norm, but it seems that for businesses, self-driving vehicles might also be better in terms of efficiency. This is according to TuSimple, a company focused on self-driving tech for heavy-duty trucks.

The company wanted to find out how self-driving trucks compared against trucks driven by humans, and so they loaded a truck with watermelons and drove it from Arizona to Oklahoma. The truck had a human driver that took control of the wheel for the first 60 or so miles, but after that it was driven entirely by the computer.

According to the driving time, the truck took about 14 hours and 6 minutes to complete the journey. This is 10 hours faster than if a human driver were to do it, which based on an estimate, would have taken 24 hours and 6 minutes. This is pretty crazy because it means that delivery times can be shaved off massively, which in turn could help companies restock faster, manufacture goods faster, and so on.

The results aren’t that surprising though. This is because humans need rest and there is a law that prevents truck drivers from being on the road for longer than 14 consecutive hours, meaning that at some point in time, they will have to stop and rest, which no doubt adds to the overall trip’s duration.

As expected from a lot of wireless earbuds these days, not only are they great for listening to music and audio, but they can also be used for calls. However, the quality of the microphone and how it picks up audio will vary from device to device, but with iOS 15, Apple will be improving on the AirPods Pro.

In fact, it seems that in the latest beta firmware, Apple has added support for Conversation Boost. For those unfamiliar, Conversation Boost is a feature that will be arriving in iOS 15 that will leverage the beamforming microphones of the AirPods Pro to help boost the level of conversations, as the name implies.

This means that in theory, your voice calls should be clearer and louder with the feature. It will also be useful for those who might have a hearing impairment as the louder volumes should make it easier to hear what’s being spoken during a call. Since the feature has been added in the latest beta firmware, registered developers should be able to access it.

iOS 15 is currently set for a release later this fall. Apple hasn’t specified a release date yet, but it should most likely be available alongside the new iPhones that are expected to be announced this September.

NVIDIA is already making big plans on its investments in the Arm ecosystem, most of which hinges on its acquisition of the UK-based company currently owned by Japan’s SoftBank.

When it comes to headphones, they’re just meant to play audio into our ears. The main differences between headphones would be its audio quality. However, over the years, we’ve started to see more manufacturers introduce features to their headphones to help distinguish them from the competition.

In fact, that’s what Klipsch is doing with its brand new Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Earbuds which according to the company, leverages the use of artificial intelligence. So what does this mean? According to Klipsch, this means that the earbuds are powered by the Bragi operating system.

This OS will allow the earbuds to support features like hands-free gestures so you can control the headphones without using your hands. For example, you can nod your head to accept incoming calls, or shake your head to reject them or to skip tracks. It also features things like a “Noise Shield” that protects your ears from unexpected loud noises while using the earbuds in Transparency Mode, and more.

As for sound quality, Klipsch says that they have equipped the earbuds with Dirac HD Sound technology that will help enhance the overall sound from them. To top it off, there are features like active noise cancellation and wireless charging, just to name a few. If you’re keen, the Klipsch T5 II earbuds are priced at $299.
