Uber has teamed up with UK self-driving car startup Wayve and Nissan to launch a pilot program for a robotaxi service in Tokyo in late 2026. The program will use Nissan Leaf EVs powered by Wayve’s AI Driver automated vehicle technology, which will then be connected to Uber’s platform. Trained drivers will be behind the wheel at first, as the deployed vehicles gather real-world data to be able to

Whenever Conan O'Brien appears on a late night show you know there's a decent chance of some chaos, and his interview with Jimmy Kimmel doesn't disappoint.
As well as telling an amusing story about his struggle to come up with an Oscars joke about the movie Train Dreams, O'Brien (who is hosting the awards again this year) also takes a moment to rage about the actors who were nominated in the Best
