Governor Hochul signs New York's AI safety act

A new resource paper has introduced two publicly available datasets of semantically enriched human trajectories, derived from GPS traces on OpenStreetMap, covering Paris and New York. These datasets include contextual layers such as stops, transportation modes, and weather data, along with synthetic social media posts generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) for enhanced mobility analysis.

Proposed legislation in New York has paved the way for the introduction of robotaxi services, marking a significant step in the state's embrace of autonomous vehicle technology. This development aligns with ongoing trends in the transportation sector, where companies are increasingly exploring driverless solutions to enhance mobility options.
