TL;DR Code from the latest Google app beta sheds light on Gemini’s upcoming agentic features on Android. Gemini could help you place orders online or hail rides without you needing to actively touch the phone. While these may be the initial applications, we could see more, as previewed by Google in its Project Astra demo last year. Google could refer to the functionality as “screen automation.” AI agents are the hottest trend in tech, and the increasing momentum leaves no room for doubting that your mobile devices will soon be controlled by them.

In the United States, approximately 20% of the 42,915 people killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2021 were vulnerable road users, defined as pedestrians, cyclists, and wheelchair users. Contributing factors to the high number include distracted driving and speeding, with school zones among the highest-risk areas. Hyundai and Kia have announced the development of a new technology called Vision Pulse, which leverages ultra-wideband (UWB) signals to more accurately pinpoint the location of vulnerable road users. Once detected, an alert is issued to inform the driver so they can take preventive actions if needed. A demonstration video on Hyundai’s YouTube channel…

First, download the plugin file (.lua) from the official VLC add-ons website or a trusted repository. Then, navigate to your VLC extensions…
AI-powered search gutted LinkedIn’s B2B awareness traffic. Across a subset of topics, non-brand organic visits fell by as much as 60% even while rankings stayed stable, the company said. LinkedIn is moving past the old “search, click, website” model and adopting a new framework: “Be seen, be mentioned, be considered, be chosen.” By the numbers. In a new article, LinkedIn said its B2B organic growth team started researching Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) in early 2024. By early 2025, when SGE evolved into AI Overviews, the impact became significant. Non-brand, awareness-driven traffic declined by up to 60% across a subset…
