TIER IV and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) announced an expanded collaboration to integrate the NVIDIA Hyperion sensor and compute platform and the NVIDIA Halos safety system into Autoware-based autonomous vehicle projects across Germany. Hyperion is a reference platform for Level 4 autonomous vehicles and robotaxis that combines NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor computing with Halos, and the initiative will use dual DRIVE AGX Thor configurations. Announced at NVIDIA GTC Berlin and building on the TUM Autoware Research Center established by TIER IV, the work focuses on autonomous public transportation and robotaxi applications. Leaders from TUM and TIER IV stressed the need for open, verifiably safe architectures rather than closed, proprietary systems.

- Nvidia CEO urges German manufacturers to adopt AI
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking on October 19 with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at an investment conference in Berlin, urged Germany’s car and industrial machinery makers to quickly adopt AI to “re-engineer” the country’s struggling business model by using its manufacturing data and expertise. He argued that digital technology would not replace manufacturing, that AI would augment rather than replace capabilities, and that “the next wave of AI is physical,” spanning robotics, manufacturing, cars and heavy industry. Huang also urged Germany to take up AI technology while keeping its culture, values and knowledge at home, and said the mittelstand of small and medium-sized firms could benefit. The article notes that Germany’s growth is weighed down by high energy prices after losing cheap Russian gas, competition from China in autos, and excessive red tape, while Europe lags the US in building data centres.
- Nvidia CEO urges German manufacturers to adopt AI , saying digital tech wont replace heavy industry
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged Germany's carmakers and industrial machine makers to adopt AI quickly to re-engineer the country's struggling business model, using its manufacturing data and expertise. Speaking on Monday with Chancellor Friedrich Merz at an investment conference in Berlin, he argued that digital technology would not replace manufacturing, saying 'electrons will never replace atoms', and that AI would augment rather than replace capabilities. Germany's growth is weighed down by high energy prices after losing cheap Russian gas, competition from China and excessive red tape, while Europe lags the U.S. in building data centers. Huang also urged Germany to import AI technology but not export its culture, values or knowledge, a message that addresses European concerns about U.S. legal access to data held on U.S.-owned servers.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged Germany’s car and industrial machinery makers to quickly adopt AI to “re-engineer” the country’s struggling business model, using its manufacturing data and expertise. He said digital technology would never replace manufacturing and engineering, and that AI can only augment human capability, adding that “electrons will never replace atoms.” Speaking with Chancellor Friedrich Merz at an investment conference in Berlin, Huang called physical AI, including robotics, manufacturing, cars and heavy industry, the next wave, and urged Germany to import AI technology while keeping its data, culture and knowledge at home. Merz and Huang see AI as an opportunity for the Mittelstand, even as Germany faces high energy prices, Chinese competition and excessive red tape.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking Monday with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at an investment conference in Berlin, urged German carmakers and industrial machinery makers to quickly adopt AI to “re-engineer” their struggling business model using their manufacturing data and expertise. He said digital technology would never replace manufacturing, since “electrons will never replace atoms,” and that AI can only augment capability. Huang advised Germany to use AI while keeping the technology, data and knowledge at home rather than exporting its culture and values. The backdrop is a German economy that has nearly stagnated since the pandemic, weighed down by high energy prices after losing cheap Russian gas, Chinese competition in autos, and excessive red tape.

- Is UBER Stock Worth Betting on Now, Riding on Its Expansion Drive?
Uber Technologies is widening its business beyond ride-hailing into food delivery and freight, relying on acquisitions, international growth and partnerships. It agreed to buy ezCater, a U.S. catering and workplace-meals platform, in an all-cash deal valued at $2.3 billion to strengthen Uber Eats in large-order catering and Uber for Business. The deal is expected to close in the coming months, subject to regulatory approvals, and Uber expects it to be margin accretive. The move could challenge DoorDash, which expanded its own workplace catering offerings in April 2026 after large team orders grew 30% faster than regular orders. In autonomous mobility, Uber works through partners: it launched supervised rides with Wayve in London, and with WeRide and AVOMO it secured Spain's first national Level 4 permit for a Madrid rollout starting with 20 vehicles, while its Zoox alliance targets Los Angeles next year.

- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes. Spot gold fell more than 2.8% to around USD 4,025 per ounce at the close of 22/10, and briefly dipped below USD 4,000 per ounce in the morning session of 23/10. Tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher, raising concerns about inflation and further Fed tightening, and gold has still not attracted sustained safe-haven demand even as US Treasury yields fell. US September CPI rose 0.6% month on month and 3.7% year on year, while PPI rose 1.3% and 6.3%. Markets price about an 84% chance the Fed holds rates steady at its 27-28/10 meeting and a 16% chance of a 25 basis-point increase; September PCE data due on 29/10 is the next key factor to watch.

- Company Linked to Billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong Announces Major Good News

Global stocks retreated as tech earnings failed to ease concerns about the AI outlook, with MSCI's All-World index set for its largest daily fall in two weeks, down 0.4 per cent.
