Waymo's new robotaxi has eight teeny tiny windshield wipers.
Posted Aug 6, 2025 at 7:28 PM UTC Waymo's new robotaxi has eight teeny tiny windshield wipers. We here at The Verge remain committed to our mission to bring you all relevant windshield wiper news. So it is with great pleasure that I point you to this MotorTrend piece about Waymo's new Zeekr-made robotaxi, and its plethora of tiny windshield wipers. Eight to be exact: four on the roof, and one at the corner above each wheel. (There are also two regular sized wipers, but who cares about that?) These diminutive wipers are meant to keep the various sensors clean and free of road grime. I remember first encountering Waymo's tiny lidar wipers back in 2019. I'm glad to see that they're still in the game, and still itty bitty. Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.

Could the Treasury Revalue Gold for Bitcoin Reserve or Debt Relief?
Revaluing Fort Knox's gold to fund a strategic bitcoin reserve or pay down the national debt is no longer unthinkable. Bettmann Archive Gold is up more than 40% in the past year, from under $2,400 an ounce to over $3,400. Meanwhile, the national debt is approaching $37 trillion. That's helped revive an idea long dismissed as fringe: revaluing the government's gold reserves to raise cash. It sounds far-fetched. But a new research note from the Federal Reserve suggests it may not be as out there as it seems. On August 1, the Federal Reserve published a research note called 'Official Reserve Revaluations: The International Experience.' It outlines how five countries used gains on their official gold holdings to raise funds. It does not propose the U.S. do the same, but it explains the steps involved and what to expect if it happens. The note covers Germany, Italy, Lebanon, Curacao and Saint Martin, and South Africa. Some used revaluation proceeds to reduce debt. Others used them to cover central bank losses. The examples are limited but show how governments have tapped into hidden value without raising taxes or issuing new bonds. The U.S. Treasury values its gold at $42.22 an ounce, a price set in 1973. It holds 261.5 million ounces, the majority of it at Fort Knox in Kentucky. At the official price, the gold is worth $11 billion. At today's market price, it would be worth more than $750 billion. Revaluation would not require selling the gold. It would simply update its book value. The Treasury could adjust the value of U.S. gold reserves through a few bookkeeping steps. It might retire its current $11 billion gold certificate (issued by the Treasury) and establish a higher official price for gold (which could be lower or even higher than the market price). Next, it could "transfer" the gold to the Fed at this new price, potentially gaining billions or trillions (remember, it need not revalue the gold to the current market price). The Fed would then return the gold to the Treasury for a new certificate. No gold physically moves, but the Treasury ends up with a significant amount of newly created funds. What would happen next depends on policy decisions. The cash infusion from the revalued gold could be used to pay down debt or finance new spending. A footnote in the Fed paper notes that recent U.S. legislation proposed by Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis (a Republican and crypto champion) contemplates using revaluation proceeds to create a sovereign wealth fund or a strategic bitcoin reserve. (Both the sovereign wealth fund and the bitcoin reserve are ideas that President Donald Trump has talked about.) Sounds good, but there are potential repercussions. Crediting the Treasury with new funds increases the money supply. That could stoke inflation. Critics have described the idea as backdoor money printing or, even, as plain old 'accounting manipulation.' Others point to the 1934 gold revaluation, which led to a sharp increase in the money supply. It also sidelined the Federal Reserve, giving the Treasury effective control over monetary policy until the 1951 Fed-Treasury Accord restored the central bank's independence. That history may be one reason the idea hasn't moved forward. With renewed criticism of the Federal Reserve from the Trump administration, including chiding the central bank over its decision to delay interest rate cuts, any move seen as potentially undermining Fed independence could draw political fire–and a negative reaction in the markets. That may help explain why officials have been quick to shut the door. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent addressed the issue earlier this year. On the All-In podcast in March, he said the Treasury is not considering revaluation. 'I can say today we're not revaluing the gold,' he declared. (The All-In podcast, hosted by investors Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks and David Friedberg, is popular in business and investing circles–and among those who have Trump's ear. Sacks, in fact, holds the title of chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.) Bessent's March disavowal of any thought of revaluation may still be the case. But the Federal Reserve publishing a note on how a revaluation has worked for others means the Overton window–that is, the realm of ideas that get seriously discussed–might have cracked open.

Puffer Upgrades UniFi Preconf AVS to Deliver Sub-10ms Execution With Restaked Security
Puffer Finance, a protocol launchpad specialising in Ethereum‑aligned rollups, has released an upgraded version of its Preconfirmation AVS (Preconf AVS) functionality. The new version enables execution guarantees with sub‑10 millisecond latency for OP‑based rollups, underpinned by over 3 million ETH in restaked security. Puffer Finance supports scalable protocol deployment by combining unified restaking, rollup‑based infrastructure, and modular composability. With this upgrade, its UniFi Preconf AVS delivers a production‑ready mechanism for Ethereum‑native transactions that are executed within sub‑10 ms guarantees at a fixed price, with slashing collateral and rollup revenue-sharing incentives supporting economic security. By design, rollups inherit Ethereum's approximate 12‑second block times, which limits performance for latency‑sensitive applications. Puffer's upgraded Preconf AVS addresses this by offering execution guarantees that ensure exact transaction outcomes at the time of transaction, rather than relying on later settlement prices. The enforcement mechanism leverages EigenLayer's restaked ETH model. Validators and gateway operators back their sequencing commitments with slashing risk to mitigate potential liveness failures, toxic MEV exposure, or protocol-safety faults. The deployment currently secures in excess of 3 million ETH in restaked assets, providing significant economic depth for all UniFi‑integrated rollups. Key Features of the Upgrade Delegated Gateway Rights: Validators delegate block proposer responsibilities to specialized gateways focused on sequencing. Lookahead Scheduling: Gateways receive advance visibility into upcoming L1 slots for precise coordination. Refund Mechanisms: Users are refunded if Preconf execution fails. Three‑Phase Rollout: Phase 1: Early gateway access with validator delegation, no slashing—missed events forfeit rewards. First implementation supports sub‑100 ms confirmations via the Gattaca frags‑based gateway. Phase 2: Expanded gateway participation and implementation of lookahead scheduling. Incentive structures modular and more decentralized. Phase 3: Introduction of slashing for liveness or MEV risks (ranging from ~1 ETH to 1,000 ETH), integration with Ethereum's Universal Registry Contract, post-slash challenge/fraud‑proof periods, and mechanisms to redistribute or reclaim slashed collateral. Additionally, a rewards distribution system has been introduced. Rather than routing all gains from preconfirmations to L1 proposers, a dynamic revenue-sharing model allocates incentives among validators, gateway operators, and rollup operators. Slashed funds are either refunded to affected users or retained within the Preconf rewards pool, aligning rollup operator interests with Ethereum's decentralization goals without fragmenting liquidity. About Puffer Finance Puffer FinanceFocuses on Ethereum infrastructure innovation through rollup-based solutions supported by liquid restaking and pre-confirmation (AVS) technologies. Core offerings include Puffer UniFi and UniFi AVS, built in partnership with EigenLayer. The PUFFER token is listed on major exchanges including Upbit, Bithumb, Bybit, Kraken, and Bitget.
