Waymo snitches on teen passengers after detecting a loaded ghost gun
A Waymo robotaxi did the job of an entire neighborhood watch program, sniffing out a loaded AR-style ghost gun in its back seat, pulling over, and snitching on two teen passengers before 4 a.m. in San Francisco. Turns out the robot is also the designated driver.

SkyFall's StarGate Drone Evacuated Two Wounded Soldiers From the Front Line
Ukraine's 475th Separate Assault Regiment says it used the purpose-built StarGate drone to evacuate two seriously wounded soldiers in the space of a week, flying one casualty nearly 20 miles to reach him and about the same distance back. Ground vehicles could not reach the men because of water obstacles and attack-drone threats, and the covered, medical-grade stretcher module kept each casualty protected in flight. The regiment now plans a dedicated aerial medical evacuation unit, turning one-off rescues into a repeatable capability.
