High-Tech Trucks and Self-Driving Technology Take Center Stage

As we navigate through the latest news on high-tech trucks, it's clear that there's been quite a buzz around this innovative technology. Today, on Friday, March 9th, two major announcements have shed light on the growing trend of self-driving trucks. Firstly, "the goober" and Tesla have announced their tech-no-trucks, which were already in limited capacity. However, it seems that this is just the beginning as another tech giant has entered the fray.

Alphabet/Google Has Joined the Fray

The search giant Alphabet, through its Waymo division, has now jumped into the self-driving truck game. This move marks a significant development in the autonomous transportation sector, where most semis aren't electrically powered like the sleek Tesla trucks. However, unlike their counterparts, Google's self-driving trucks are equipped with advanced technology similar to Uber machines and soon-to-be-equipped Tesla trucks. According to Waymo, these trucks will have humans keeping the driver's seat warm, at least as they ferry shipments of technical parts to Google Data Centers near the Atlanta area.

The convoy of self-driving semis is set to hit the highway next week, and it's an exciting development in the world of high-tech transportation. As more companies enter this field, it's clear that the future of transportation is looking bright and promising.

Fortnite Comes to Mobile Devices

Gaming news has also been making headlines, and one popular game that's been confined to consoles and PC for a long time is Fortnite. However, good news for mobile gamers is on the way. According to Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite, a port of the game will be available for iOS devices first, followed by Android fans getting their own version a short time later.

For those eager to get started, the minimum requirements are at least an iPhone SE or bigger 6s, and it needs to be rocking iOS 11. The good news is that players will be able to take on other players cross-platform, including PS4, PC gamers, Mac folks, and in time, Android OS users with an Xbox One.

This move marks a significant step forward for mobile gaming, and it's exciting to see popular games like Fortnite make their way onto smaller screens. With the prospect of cross-platform play, this could be a game-changer for gamers worldwide.

Jon Favreau Takes the Helm of Star Wars

Finally, in a major development that's left fans buzzing, Jon Favreau is set to head up a new live-action Star Wars series for Disney's upcoming streaming service. As a longtime resident of the Star Wars universe, having voiced characters for The Clone Wars animated series and being involved in the upcoming solo movie, Favreau is undoubtedly the perfect fit for this role.

While details on the series have not been revealed yet, senior Jedi Kathleen Kennedy has expressed excitement about the prospects. With Favreau's impressive track record as a director and executive producer of successful films like Iron Man and The Avengers, it's clear that he has what it takes to make a successful Star Wars series.

Favreau's involvement also raises the possibility of him appearing in the series himself. As he helmed both the first and second Iron Man films and was involved in the production of the hit live-action version of Jungle Book, it's hard not to imagine him writing himself into a few scenes of the Star Wars series. Whatever the case may be, fans can look forward to more updates on this exciting development as more information becomes available.
