BMW Figure 03 Robot Spartanburg Factory
BMW Group has moved its work with Figure AI past the testing stage and into regular factory shifts. At Plant Spartanburg in South Carolina, the Figure 03 humanoid robot now handles a daily logistics job inside assembly hall 52. The robot takes components that arrive in large, mixed containers and places them into the right spots on a sequencing trolley. That trolley then travels by automated tugger train or smart transport robot to the exact station where assembly teams need those parts next, delivered in the correct order.

Clicks Communicator Prototype Smartphone Hands-On
Clicks just released its first hands-on video of a working Communicator prototype this morning.

Nintendo Direct Splatoon Raiders Switch 2
Splatoon Raiders arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 as a single-player-focused action shooter that sends players into the Spirhalite Islands alongside the Deep Cut trio. Launching July 23, the game casts you as a mechanic who outfits a mobile hideout ship and heads out to hunt treasure while fending off Salmonid swarms. Varied terrain stretches from icy stretches to lava zones, mixing wide exploration areas with tighter dens, restricted facilities, and underground dungeons that can feel bottomless in places.

Production Cybercab No Steering Wheel Pedals Engineering Tests
Austin streets now host something that looks ordinary at first glance but represents a sharp break from everything that came before. Production Cybercab units have started engineering tests on public roads, and these vehicles carry no steering wheel and no pedals. Tesla just posted video of the tests on June 30. The footage and supporting details show the first examples built for actual use rather than pure development. Earlier cars sometimes carried temporary controls. These do not.
