Voyage Commander is a state-of-the-art self-driving robot taxi that has a number of important limitations and sheds light into what is possible and what is not | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

When Commander detects that something in the road ahead cannot be handled by itself, it gracefully transitions control to Telessist, our novel remote assistance technology. Telessist enables our robotaxi service to scale quicker, safely driving riders through any scenario that the world can throw at us.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: a very interesting article about a robot taxi system, how it works and its limitations. Fun read to understand what is possible and what is not in self driving tech today. This is important because many of digital transformation use case depend on this for profitability (for example eCommerce delivery cost should reduce drastically when this available).

Expansion through pilot with tech company Nuro. Walmart continues expanding its Grocery Pickup and Delivery service, currently with nearly 3,100 pickup locations, and deliveries from more than 1,600 stores. 

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: this is the Holy Grail of eCommerce: cheap, fast, reliable delivery of orders. Looks like grocery delivery, with its high frequency and large order size is the killer app as evidenced by these many tests by Walmart and - my own opinion - the acquisition of Whole Foods by Amazon.

Your Car Is the Killer App for Google Glass says @Wired

Your Car Is the Killer App for Google Glass says @Wired | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
Everyone wants to know what Google Glass is good for. I've figured it out: It's the killer app for your car.
Farid Mheir's insight:

I think of delivery services but also of sales reps, and how glass could transform their daily lives. All the technologies have been there for a while - GPS, cell phone, live traffic feeds, detailed maps - but what glass does is change the proximity, from something that you have - in-car garmin GPS - or that you carry - Android cell phone - to something that you constantly wear and have in front of your eyes - litterally.
