China's Baidu to deploy robotaxis on rideshare app Lyft
Chinese internet giant Baidu plans to launch its robotaxis on rideshare app Lyft in Germany and Britain in 2026, pending regulatory approval, the two companies said on Monday. Last month, Baidu announced a similar agreement with Uber in Asia and the Middle East as it seeks to take pole position in the competitive autonomous driving field both at home and abroad. Lyft and Baidu said Monday that "in the following years" the fleet of Apollo Go driverless cars will be expanded to thousands of vehicles across Europe. They did not specify which other countries the cars would be deployed in, and it was not clear how long it might take to gain regulatory approval for the initial deployment. Driverless taxis are already on some roads with limited capacity in the United States and China, most notably in the central city of Wuhan, where a fleet of over 500 can be hailed by app in designated areas. Their reach is spreading, with Shanghai's financial district Pudong recently announcing a batch of permits for multiple companies to operate robotaxis. China's tech companies and automakers have poured billions of dollars into self-driving technology in recent years, with intelligent driving the new battleground in the country's cutthroat domestic car market. Baidu is not alone among Chinese companies in searching to expand its foothold abroad. Its rival WeRide is also active in the Gulf region, and in January announced it had been picked to lead a small pilot project in Switzerland. another Chinese company, said in May that it had signed a deal to launch its self-driving taxis on Uber in "a key market in the Middle East later this year". San Francisco-based Lyft in April said it had agreed to buy German taxi app Freenow, planting a flag in the European market. The acquisition marked Lyft's "most significant expansion outside North America", the group said.

'Chinese engineers' ..., the 'important angle' Microsoft reportedly missed while revealing SharePoint hack
Microsoft announced last month that Chinese state-sponsored hackers exploited vulnerabilities in its SharePoint collaboration software to breach hundreds of companies and government agencies, including the National Nuclear Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security. However, the tech giant omitted a crucial detail: China-based engineers have been maintaining the very software that was compromised, as reported by ProPublica. According to screenshots viewed by ProPublica, Microsoft's internal work-tracking system showed China-based employees recently fixing bugs for SharePoint "OnPrem" — the exact version targeted in the cyberattacks. The revelation raises serious questions about potential security risks when foreign personnel maintain critical US government systems. Microsoft's China team has 'years' of SharePoint access ProPublica's investigation revealed that Microsoft's China-based engineering team has been responsible for maintaining SharePoint software for years, supervised by a US-based engineer. The company stated that work is "already underway to shift this work to another location" following the security breach. The timing proves particularly concerning given that Microsoft's analysis showed Chinese hackers were exploiting SharePoint weaknesses as early as July 7. Despite Microsoft releasing a patch on July 8, hackers successfully bypassed the initial fix, forcing the company to issue additional "more robust protections." Government systems potentially exposed to foreign oversight Cybersecurity experts warn that allowing China-based personnel to perform technical support on US government systems creates major security vulnerabilities. Chinese laws grant officials broad authority to collect data, making it difficult for citizens or companies to resist direct requests from security forces. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has identified China as the "most active and persistent cyber threat" to US government and critical infrastructure networks. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency confirmed that the SharePoint vulnerabilities enable hackers to "fully access SharePoint content" and execute malicious code. This latest revelation follows ProPublica's previous reporting that Microsoft has relied on foreign workers, including China-based engineers, to maintain Defense Department cloud systems for over a decade. In response, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth launched a review of tech companies' use of foreign-based engineers, while senators from both parties have demanded more information about Microsoft's practices.

Watch: Robot walks into Rolex store in New York, leaves people stunned
A humanoid robot named KOID, developed by a Chinese firm, caused a stir on Fifth Avenue by interacting with people and even trying on a Rolex watch. This PR stunt, promoting a new AI ETF, sparked fascination and fear among onlookers. The event ignited discussions about the increasing role of AI and robotics in society. On an otherwise regular day on Fifth Avenue, New Yorkers encountered a scene that looked straight out of a sci-fi film: a humanoid robot casually strolling past storefronts, waving to pedestrians, and even walking into a Rolex boutique to try on a watch. Meet KOID, a humanoid robot developed by a Chinese robotics firm. Retailing at approximately $100,000 or INR 800,000 the robot quickly drew crowds and viral curiosity, not just for its realistic movements, but for the human-like way it interacted with the world around it. The unusual scene was part of a marketing campaign by a company promoting their new Global Humanoid and Embodied Intelligence Index ETF. The American partner of the company documented robot's outing on Instagram, including a now-viral clip where the robot steps into a Rolex store and is assisted by a sales representative while trying on a Rolex GMT-Master II with a blue bezel and black dial. The gesture, so mundane for a human, looked uncannily natural on the robot, prompting both fascination and alarm. Fascination meets fear The spectacle quickly became a social media sensation, with NewYorkers Live capturing on-the-ground reactions. A young girl described the robot as 'cool' but cautiously added, 'as long as they don't take over the world.' Others were more apprehensive. One man said he found it 'scary' and wouldn't want it near his children. There were also humorous takes, one passerby joked, 'Is the robot getting paid as much as I am?' Of course, the inevitable Terminator comparisons surfaced too. 'It's giving Judgment Day,' someone quipped, referencing the Hollywood franchise where machines rebel against their creators. But not all reactions were dystopian. One observer pointed out the positive possibilities, likening KOID to other helpful machines we already rely on - trucks, elevators, even smartphones. 'It's still just a machine,' he said. 'If it helps reduce our daily burden, why not?' The bigger picture While the PR stunt succeeded in going viral, it also opened up larger conversations about the growing presence of AI and robotics in everyday life. With humanoid robots getting eerily close to human dexterity and social intelligence, how we choose to integrate or regulate their role remains a question for both policymakers and the public. But for now, robot's walk down Fifth Avenue stands as a surreal reminder that the future is not coming. It's already here, wearing a Rolex.
