Toyota has launched one of its most ambitious experiments to date. Known as Woven City, the automaker’s robotic city is a prototype of mobility, smart infrastructure, and sustainability.
Cities are beginning to treat roads, crosswalks, and traffic patterns as living data sources. Most of us pass through intersections and roundabouts without a second thought. They’re part of the daily grind: pause, turn, go. Behind this typical traffic flow lies a quietly growing network of information. From roundabout cameras to street-level sensors, these systems are becoming smarter, and they’re reshaping how we plan for safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
Diesel engines have long been the backbone of heavy-duty transportation, powering everything from commercial fleets to agriculture and construction vehicles. However, their carbon footprint remains a challenge; diesel fuel accounts for a huge portion of U.S. transportation emissions. While electrification is making strides in passenger vehicles, long-range and high-torque demands make fully electric solutions for diesel trucks difficult to implement at scale.F
Quantum computing is no longer a distant dream but a reality ready to redefine everything from national security to global competitiveness. With the stakes higher than ever, federal investments and geopolitical strategies are shaping America’s position in this high-tech race. While it may not make the news every day, the people in Washington, D.C., are paying close attention to how to get a quantum advantage on the global stage.
Here’s a closer look at how the U.S. government is leveraging quantum technology as both a tool for progress and a shield during increasingly complex times.
The global chip shortage that began in 2020 revealed just how vital semiconductors are across the industrial sector, from cars to consumer electronics. Demand for these components outpaced supply, leaving manufacturers scrambling. In response, the U.S. is taking decisive action to increase domestic chip production, leveraging investments and innovation to secure a stable supply for the future.
Here’s a closer look at the factors driving this shift and the key players transforming U.S. semiconductor manufacturing.
