Yes, their interpretation of Swiss Re is open to debate. That said, I suspect self-driving cars are already safer per kilometer than human driven cars.
Also, they'll only keep getting better, while human abilities plateau.
Lariocidin is produced by a type of bacteria called Paenibacillus, which the researchers retrieved from a soil sample collected from a Hamilton backyard.
It's amazing how random this discovery was. Makes you wonder at all the rest that is still undiscovered in nature.
In fairness to Waymo, Swiss Re (who are unlikely to be easily fooled) also back up these claims.

1X is in Norway. Norwegians are notoriously solitary and hate small talk. Of all people it would be interesting to see how they react to domestic humanoid robots. Perhaps they will like them more than most.
Wrong. The World Bank says 13% of Indians live in extreme poverty & 97% of the population have wired electricity. Also, surely the way to be richer and more developed is investing in high tech growth industries like advanced space tech?
Its the ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) who've said this, and they've a pretty good track record of achieving stated goals.
It is interesting that they have successfully tested the magnetic micro-algae in tightly confined and viscous environments. Those are the same conditions they would find in living tissue and blood vessels.
Still, this is just a proof-of-concept. I wonder if any useful treatments for illness ever come from it.
So if all goes to plan there should be three space stations in 2028 - when will there be a fourth? Russia has plans for an Russian Orbital Service Station. While no one doubts Russia has the necessary technical expertise, can it spare diverting the cash from its war in Ukraine?
Presumably that will be a commercial one someday, it doesn't seem like any other countries are in the pipeline for developing one. The ISS is slated to be deorbited around 2030. The US & ESA/Canada might well part ways when the ISS is decommissioned, and it seems unclear what will replace the ISS, and exactly how much longer it will last.
In fairness to China, they are now the world leader in battery tech, and delivering on their promises.
Yes, there's also the question of how long it lasts; but still, an amazing achievement.
This is only in 4 patients so far yet the results look amazing. 20 million people globally are living with some form of spinal cord injury. Hopefully insights gained from this work will quickly mean treatments for what was once seen as incurable.
This is better than nothing. Though a lot of the threats that are building, like conflict with Russia, seem like they will need more.
