AI Hubs | HD maps for Robocars | Supercomputer Bragging Rights

June 21, 2019

Our lineup this week includes:


A guided tour through London’s Tech Week, an annual extravaganza of new technologies. Unsurprisingly, this year there was an emphasis on artificial intelligence.


We’ll have a report on the race to build the fastest supercomputers.


And, you know those GPS apps you use for driving? Self-driving vehicles use maps too, but they need maps that are far more accurate.


First up, EETimes editor Sally Ward-Foxton attended several events during London’s Tech Week. The UK is bidding to become a major hub for AI technology, but the same idea has occurred to other countries as well.


And a quick translation of English to English for you. Glastonbury is a music festival not dissimilar to the New Orleans Jazz Festival, where savvy festival veterans know to show up in knee-high rubber boots because enormous mud puddles are not uncommon.
