Waymo will start testing its driverless cars in Tokyo next year

Waymo is expanding internationally, and its first country outside the US is Japan.

Snap announced a new monetization program that will allow the app’s influencers to make money from Spotlight videos that are one minute or longer by earning a share of their content's ad revenue. Google may have only recently begun rolling out its Veo generative AI to enterprise customers, but the company is not wasting any time getting a new version of the video tool out to early testers.
