World leaders call Trump tariffs 'wrong' and 'unjustified'

Canada's Mark Carney (L), Italy's Giorgia Meloni (C) and Australia's Anthony Albanese (R) have been reacting to Trump's tariffs on goods coming into the United States

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has said US tariffs on European Union imports are "wrong", after US President Donald Trump announced he would begin charging a 20% rate on EU goods.

Meloni is one of the many world leaders reacting to Trump's "liberation day" announcements, which include a universal 10% baseline tariff on all imports into the US from 5 April.

Around 60 countries - including the EU - will be hit with steeper tariffs from 9 April. Some of the highest rates will be levied on smaller countries, such as Lesotho, which has been hit with a 50% levy.

Trump said the measures would "make America rich again", adding that he had been "very kind" in his decisions.

Meloni, a Trump ally, said the EU tariffs would "not suit either party" - referring to the EU and the US - but that she would work towards a deal with the US to "prevent a trade war".

Her Spanish counterpart Pedro Sánchez said Spain would protect its companies and workers and "continue to be committed to an open world."

Irish trade minister Simon Harris said he was ready to negotiate with the US, calling it the "best way forward", while Taoiseach Micheál Martin said Trump's decision was "deeply regrettable" and benefitted "no-one".

Outside of the EU, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Americans would end up paying the biggest price for what he called "unjustified tariffs", but said his government would not impose reciprocal measures.

"We will not join a race to the bottom that leads to higher prices and slower growth", he added.

Latin America's biggest economy, Brazil, approved a law in congress on Wednesday - the Economic Reciprocity Law - to counter the 10% tariff imposed by Trump. There was no immediate reaction from the president, but last week Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said his country "cannot stand still" in face of the tariffs.

Shortly after Trump's announcement, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned countries not to "retaliate" and "sit back, take it in".

"Because if you retaliate, there will be escalation", he told Fox News.

Noticeably, the US's two biggest trade partners, Canada and Mexico, were not mentioned in Wednesday's announcements.

The White House said it would deal with both countries according to previous executive orders, which imposed 25% tariffs on the two nations as part of efforts to address fentanyl and border issues.

Regardless, Canada will still be impacted by the tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney said. Measures such as the 25% tariff on automobiles starting at midnight on Thursday would "directly affect millions of Canadians", he added.

He vowed to "fight these tariffs with counter measures", adding that the US levies would "fundamentally change the global trading system."

高通发布第四代骁龙 8s 移动平台,专为轻旗舰设计

最近这几年每年的最后一个季度,高通都会发布旗下的骁龙 8 系旗舰芯片,用在 Android 阵营的旗舰机上,然后接着高通就会发布骁龙 8 系旗舰的「青春版」:骁龙 8s 移动平台,把一些 8 系旗舰芯片的特性带到更平价的机型上,也就是高通所说的「新生代旗舰」机型。

经是普通消费者中的“佼佼者”了。

<这次事故 SU7 是标准版,没有 Lidar>

有 Lidar 的版本能处理(或者类似鼓吹的)——你们真的不懂 Lidar 。



目前量产的( 96 线/128 线)激光雷达,稳定检出雪糕筒的典型距离在 50 米左右。在高速上 50 米也就一秒多点。



任何一个智驾算法团队都不可能对雪糕筒这种远距离下 lidar 打上去只有几个点的物体不降噪不滑窗就直接报出,在 lidar 的点云里,雪糕筒在超过这个距离里和 Lidar 常见的各种噪点(扬尘,高反,水雾,阳光)很难区分。



那么更高线束的 Lidar ( 192 线或以上)是否可以更好更有效一些?理论上是的。前提是:

1. 你买的车激光雷达不是一个只通了电的样子货。

2. 你买的车激光雷达是感知主传感器。

3. 在配备了更高线束的 Lidar 以后,你买的车的智驾算法团队能挤出足够多的系统资源( cpu gpu ai core 啥的)来处理数量暴增的点云。



智驾业内的同学,应该知道我上面三条都在说什么,如果不幸命中了你的公司,请不要暴露公司名称。我不想收到律师函。

Assisted dying: California man invites BBC to witness his death as Parliament debates new law

BBC A man sits in a reclining chair in shorts and T-shirt in his living room alongside his daughter, son and wife.BBC
This is the last picture of Wayne with his wife Stella (right) and children Emily and Ashley (left), taken on the day of his death

It's 10am, and in a little over two hours, Wayne Hawkins will be dead.

The sun is shining on the bungalow where the 80-year-old lives in San Diego, California with his wife of more than five decades, Stella.

I knock on the door and meet his children - Emily, 48, and Ashley, 44 - who have spent the last two weeks at their father's side.

Wayne sits in a reclining chair where he spends most of his days. Terminally ill, he is too weak to leave the house.

He has invited BBC News to witness his death under California's assisted dying laws - because if MPs in London vote to legalise the practice in England and Wales, it will allow some terminally ill people here to die in a similar way.

Half an hour after arriving at Wayne's house, I watch him swallow three anti-nausea tablets, designed to minimise the risk of him vomiting the lethal medication he plans to take shortly.

Are you sure this day is your last, I ask him? "I'm all in," he replies. "I was determined and decided weeks ago - I've had no trepidation since then."

His family ask for one last photo, which I take. As usual, Stella and Wayne are holding hands.

Shortly after, Dr Donnie Moore arrives. He has got to know the family over the past few weeks, visiting them on several occasions alongside running his own end-of-life clinic. Under California law, he is what is known as the attending physician who must confirm, in addition to a second doctor, that Wayne is eligible for aid in dying.

Dr Moore's role is part physician, part counsellor in this situation, one he has been in for 150 assisted deaths before.

On a top shelf in Wayne's bedroom sits a brown glass bottle containing a fine white powder - a mixture of five drugs, sedatives and painkillers, delivered to the house the previous day. The dosage of drugs inside is hundreds of times higher than those used in regular healthcare and is "guaranteed" to be fatal, Dr Moore explains. Unlike California, the proposed law at Westminster would require a doctor to bring any such medication with them.

When Wayne signals he is ready, the doctor mixes the meds with cherry and pineapple juice to soften the bitter taste - and he hands this pink liquid to Wayne.

No one, not even the doctor, knows how long it will take him to die after taking the lethal drugs. Dr Moore explains to me that, in his experience, death usually occurs between 30 minutes and two hours of ingestion, but on one occasion it took 17 hours.

This is the story of how and why Wayne chose to die. And why others have decided not to follow the same course.

We first met the couple a few weeks earlier, when Wayne explained why he was going ahead with the decision to have an assisted death - a controversial measure in other parts of the world.

"Some days the pain is almost more than I can handle," he said. "I just don't see any merit to dying slow and painfully, hooked up with stuff - intubation, feeding tubes," he told me. "I want none of it."

Wayne said he had watched two relatives die "miserable", "heinous" deaths from heart failure.

"I hate hospitals, they are miserable. I will die in the street first."

Wayne met Stella in 1969; the couple married four years later. He told us it was something of an arranged marriage, as his mother kept inviting Stella for dinner until eventually the penny dropped that he should take her out.

They lived for many years in Arcata, northern California, surrounded by sweeping forests of redwood trees, where Wayne worked as a landscape architect, while Stella was a primary school teacher. They spent their holidays hiking and camping with their children.

Now Wayne is terminally ill with heart failure, which has already brought him close to death. He has myriad other health issues including prostate cancer, liver failure and sepsis which brings him serious spinal pain.

He has less than six months to live, qualifying him for an assisted death in California. His request to die has been approved by two doctors and the lethal medication is self-administered.

It was during our first meeting that he asked the BBC to return to observe his final day, saying he wanted terminally ill adults in the UK to have the same right to an assisted death as him.

"Britain is pretty good with freedoms and this is just another one," he said. "People should be able to choose the time of their death as long as they meet the rules like six months to live or less."

Stella, 78, supports his decision. "I've known him for over 50 years. He's a very independent man. He's always known what he wants to do and he's always fixed things. That's how he's operating now. If this is his choice, I definitely agree, and I've seen him really suffer with the illness he's got. I don't want that for him."

Wayne would also qualify under the proposed new assisted dying law in England and Wales. The measures return to the House of Commons later this month, when all MPs will have a chance to debate and vote on changes to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.

The proposed legislation, tabled by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, says that anyone who wants to end their life must have the mental capacity to make the choice, that they must be expected to die within six months, and must make two separate declarations - witnessed and signed - about their wish to die. They must satisfy two independent doctors that they are eligible.

MPs in Westminster voted in favour of assisted dying in principle last November but remain bitterly divided on the issue. If they ultimately decide to approve the bill, it could become law within the next year and come into practice within the next four years.

There are also divisions here in California, where assisted dying was introduced in 2016. Michelle and Mike Carter, both 72 and married for 43 years, are each being treated for cancer - Mike has prostate cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes, and Michelle's advanced terminal ovarian cancer has spread throughout much of her body.

"I held my mother's hand when she passed; I held my father's hand when he passed," Michelle told me. "I believe there's freedom of choice however for me, I choose palliative care… I have God and I have good medicine."

Michelle's physician, palliative care specialist Dr Vincent Nguyen, argued that assisted dying laws in the US state lead to "silent coercion" whereby vulnerable people think their only option is to die. "Instead of ending people's lives, let's put programmes together to care for people," he said. "Let them know that they're loved, they're wanted and they're worthy."

He said the law meant that doctors have gone from being seen as healers to killers, while the message from the healthcare system was that "you are better off dead, because you're expensive and your death is cheaper for us".

Some disability campaigners say assisted dying makes them feel unsafe. Ingrid Tischer, who has muscular dystrophy and chronic respiratory failure, told me: "The message that it sends to people with disabilities in California is that you deserve suicide assistance rather than suicide prevention when you voice a desire to end your life.

"What does that say about who we are as a culture?"

Critics often say that once assisted dying is legalised, over time the safeguards around such laws get eroded as part of a "slippery slope" towards more relaxed criteria. In California, there was initially a mandatory 15-day cooling off period between patients making a first and second request for aid in dying. That has been reduced to 48 hours because many patients were dying during the waiting period. It's thought the approval process envisaged in Westminster would take around a month.

'Goodbye,' Wayne tells his family

Outside Wayne's house on the morning of his death, a solitary bird begins its loud and elaborate song. "There's that mockingbird out there," Wayne tells Stella, as smiles flicker across their faces.

Wayne hates the bird because it keeps him awake at night, Stella jokes, hand in hand with him to one side of his chair. Emily and Ashley are next to Stella.

Dr Moore, seated on Wayne's other side, hands him the pink liquid which he swallows without hesitation. "Goodnight," he says to his family - a typical touch of humour from a man who told us he was determined to die on his terms. It's 11.47am.

After two minutes, Wayne says he is getting sleepy. Dr Moore asks him to imagine he is walking in a vast sea of flowers with a soft breeze on his skin, which seems appropriate for a patient who has spent much of his life among nature.

After three minutes Wayne enters a deep sleep from which he will never wake. On a few occasions he lifts his head to take a deep breath without opening his eyes, at one point beginning to snore softly.

Dr Moore tells the family this is "the deepest sleep imaginable" and reassures Emily there is no chance her dad will wake up and ask, "did it work?"

"Oh that would be just like him," Stella says with a laugh.

A man sits on a reclining chair surrounded by three relatives and a doctor 9n his house.

The family start to reminisce about hiking holidays and driving around in a large van they converted to become a camper. "Me and dad insulated it and put a bed in the back," says Ashley.

On the walls are photos of Emily and Ashley as small children next to huge carved Halloween pumpkins.

Dr Moore is still stroking Wayne's hand and occasionally checking his pulse. For a man who Emily says was "always walking, always outdoors, always active", these are the final moments of life's journey, spent surrounded by those who mean most to him.

At 12.22pm Dr Moore says, "I think he's passed… He's at peace now."

Outside, the mockingbird has fallen silent. "No more pain," says Stella, embracing her children in her arms.

I step outside to give the family some space, and reflect on what we have just seen and filmed.

I have been covering medical ethics for the BBC for more than 20 years. In 2006, I was present just outside an apartment in Zurich where Dr Anne Turner, a retired doctor, died with the help of the group Dignitas - but California was the first time I had been an eyewitness to an assisted death.

This isn't just a story about one man's death in California - it's about what could become a reality here in England and Wales for those who qualify for an assisted death and choose to die this way.

Whether you're for or against the proposed new Westminster law, the death of a loved one is a deeply personal and emotional time for a family. Each death leaves an imprint, as will Wayne's.

Marine Le Pen's ban has outraged France's far right - and they may well seek revenge

BBC A black and white silhouette of Marine Le Pen, head onlyBBC

Outrage is a precious political currency and France's far right has spent this week attempting, furiously and predictably, to capitalise on the perceived injustice of a court's decision to block its totemic leader, Marine Le Pen, from standing in the 2027 presidential election.

The airwaves have been throbbing with indignation.

"Be outraged," said one of Le Pen's key deputies, on French television, in case anyone was in doubt as to what their reaction should be.

But it remains unclear whether Le Pen's tough sentence will broaden support for her party, the National Rally (RN), or lead to greater fragmentation of the French far right. Either way, it has created a feverish mood among the nation's politicians.

Le Pen and her allies have boldly declared that France's institutions, and democracy itself, have been "executed", are "dead", or "violated". The country's justice system has been turned into a "political" hit squad, shamelessly intervening in a nation's right to choose its own leaders. And Marine Le Pen has been widely portrayed, with something close to certainty, as France's president-in-waiting, as the nation's most popular politician, cruelly robbed of her near-inevitable procession towards the Élysée Palace.

"The system has released a nuclear bomb, and if it is using such a powerful weapon against us, it is obviously because we are about to win the elections," Le Pen fumed at a news conference, comparing herself to the poisoned, imprisoned, and now dead Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny.

As France assesses its latest political tremors, an uneven pushback has begun.

No clear frontrunner for president

Nervous about the impact the judgement may have for the country's frail coalition government, the Prime Minister François Bayrou has admitted to feeling "troubled" by Le Pen's sentence and worried about a "shock" to public opinion.

But other centrist politicians have taken a firmer line, stressing the need for a clear gap between the justice system and politics.

An opinion poll carried out a day before the court decision predicted that Le Pen would secure up to 37% of votes in the 2027 presidential election

An early opinion poll appears to show the French public taking a calm line, bursting – or at least deflating – the RN's bubble of outrage. The poll, produced within hours of the court's ruling, showed less than a third of the country – 31% - felt the decision to block Le Pen, immediately, from running for public office, was unjust.

Tellingly, that figure was less than the 37% of French people who recently expressed an interest in voting for her as president.

In other words, plenty of people who like her as a politician also think it reasonable that her crimes should disqualify her from running for office.

And remember, French presidential elections are still two years away – an eternity in the current political climate.

Emmanuel Macron is not entitled to stand for another term and no clear alternative to Le Pen, from the left or centre of French politics, has yet emerged. Le Pen's share of the vote has consistently risen during her previous three failed bids for the top job but it is premature, at best, to consider her a shoo-in for 2027.

Le Pen's crime and punishment

Anyone who followed the court case against her and her party colleagues in an impartial fashion would struggle to conclude that the verdicts in Le Pen's case were unreasonable.

The evidence of a massive and coordinated project to defraud the European Parliament and its associated taxpayers included jaw-droppingly incriminating emails suggesting officials knew exactly what they were doing, and the illegality of their actions.

That the corruption was for the party, not for personal gain, surely changes nothing. Corruption is corruption. Besides, other parties have also been found guilty of similar offences.

On 31 March, Marine Le Pen was banned with immediate effect from standing for office for five years

Regarding the punishments handed out by the court, here it seems fair to argue that Le Pen and her party made a strategic blunder in their approach to the case.

Had they acknowledged the facts, and their errors, and cooperated in facilitating a swift trial rather than helping to drag the process out for almost a decade, the judges – as they've now made clear – might have taken their attitude towards the case into consideration when considering punishments.

"Neither during the investigation nor at the trial did [Le Pen] show any awareness of the need for probity as an elected official, nor of the ensuing responsibilities," wrote the judges in a document explaining, often indignantly, why they'd delivered such a tough sentence.

They berated Le Pen for seeking to delay or avoid justice with "a defence system that disregards the uncovering of the truth".

Hypocrisy among the elite

It is worth noting, here, the wider hypocrisy demonstrated by elites across France's political spectrum who have recently been muttering their sympathy for Le Pen. It is nine years since MPs voted to toughen up the laws on corruption, introducing the very sanctions - on immediately banning criminals from public office - that were used by the judges in this case.

That toughening was welcomed by the public as an antidote to a judicial system stymied by an indulgent culture of successive appeals that enabled – and sometimes still enables - politicians to dodge accountability for decades.

Le Pen is now being gleefully taunted by her critics online with the many past instances in which she has called for stricter laws on corruption.

"When are we going to learn the lessons and effectively introduce lifelong ineligibility for those who have been convicted of acts committed while in office or during their term of office?" she asked in 2013.

Reasonable people can reasonably disagree about the court's sentencing decisions in Le Pen's case. But the notion – enthusiastically endorsed by populist and hard-right politicians across Europe and the US – that she is a victim of a conspiratorial political plot has clearly not convinced most French people.

At least not yet.

Future of France's far right

So where does this verdict – clearly a seismic moment in French politics – leave the National Rally and the wider far-right movement?

The short answer is that no one knows. There are so many variables involved – from the fate of Le Pen's fast-tracked appeal, to the RN's succession strategy, to the state of France's precarious finances, to the broader political climate and the see-sawing appetite for populism both within France and globally – that predictions are an even more dubious game than usual.

The most immediate question – given the slow pace of the legal appeal that Le Pen has vowed to initiate – is whether the RN will seek prompt revenge in parliament by attempting to bring down the fragile coalition government of François Bayrou.

Getty Images Marine Le Pen, left, next to her father Jean-Marie, rightGetty Images
Marine Le Pen followed her father Jean-Marie (right) to take over the far-right National Rally party (formerly the National Front)

That could lead to new parliamentary elections this summer and the possibility that the RN could capitalise on its victim status to increase its lead in parliament and perhaps, even, to push the country towards a deadlock in which President Macron might – yet another "might" – feel obliged to step down.

One person who will now be facing extra scrutiny is Le Pen's almost but not quite anointed successor, 29-year-old Jordan Bardella, who could be drafted in as a replacement presidential candidate if Le Pen's own "narrow path" towards the Élysée remains blocked on appeal.

If social-media-savvy Bardella's popularity among French youth is any indication of his prospects, he could well sweep to victory in 2027. He has found a way to tap into the frustrations of people angry about falling living standards and concerns about immigration.

Jordan Bardella is seen as Le Pen's successor, using social media to attract support among French youth

But turning youthful support into actual votes is not always straightforward, and other, more experienced and mainstream figures on the right may well be sensing an opportunity too.

The Interior Minister, Bruno Retailleau, is widely seen to be emerging as a potential contender. Some even wonder if the provocative television personality, Cyril Hanouna, might become a serious political force on the right of French politics.

Meanwhile, Bardella, like the RN in general, has been on a highly disciplined mission to detoxify the party's once overtly racist and antisemitic brand. In February, for instance, he abandoned plans to speak at America's far-right CPAC event after Donald Trump's former advisor Steve Bannon made a Nazi salute.

But this week's events have revealed that the RN is enthusiastically committed to the distinctly Trump-ian and populist strategy of blaming its misfortunes on a "swamp" of unelected officials. Bardella, meanwhile, complained about the recent closure of two right-wing media channels alongside his party's own legal struggles.

"There is an extremely serious drift today that does not reflect the idea we have of French democracy," he said.

It's the sort of language that goes down well with the RN's core constituency, but its broader appeal may be limited in a country that remains, in many ways, deeply attached to its institutions.

To frame it another way, will French voters be more motivated by the belief that Le Pen was unfairly punished, or by concern that the judges involved have since been the victims of death threats and other insults?

Emmanuel Macron was re-elected in 2022 - he is not entitled to stand for another term and there no clear alternative to Le Pen

As for Marine Le Pen, she has vowed that she will not be sidelined. But her destiny is not entirely in her own hands now. At the age of 56 she has become a familiar figure, fiery at times, but personally approachable, warm and, in political terms, profoundly influential and disciplined. So what next for her?

France has had one Le Pen or other (Marine's father, Jean-Marie ran four times) on their presidential ballot paper since 1988. Always unsuccessfully.

History may well look back on this week as the moment Marine Le Pen's fate was sealed, in one of three ways: as France's first female and first far-right president, swept to power on a tide of outrage. As the four-time loser of a French presidential election, finally denied power by the taint of corruption. Or as someone whose soaring political career was brought to an early and shuddering halt by her own miscalculations over a serious embezzlement scandal.

UK charities launch Myanmar Earthquake Appeal

AFP People stand past the debris of a collapsed building in Mandalay AFP

The UK's Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is launching an appeal to help the thousands of people injured and displaced as a result of last week's powerful earthquake which struck Myanmar and the wider region.

Made up of 15 UK aid agencies, including the British Red Cross, Oxfam and Save the Children, the DEC is asking the British public for donations before the monsoon season arrives in two months.

More than 2,800 people have died and more than 4,500 have been injured, according to the leaders of Myanmar's military government, with figures expected to rise.

The charities say shelter, medicine, food, water and cash support is "urgently needed".

Baroness Chapman, minister for development, said public donations to the DEC appeal would be matched pound-for-pound by the government, up to the value of £5m.

DEC's chief executive Saleh Saeed said the situation was "ever more critical."

"Funds are urgently needed to help families access life-saving humanitarian aid following this catastrophe," he said.

Multiple international aid agencies and foreign governments have dispatched personnel and supplies to quake-hit regions.

Myanmar was already facing a severe humanitarian crisis before the 7.7 magnitude earthquake due to the ongoing civil war there, with the DEC estimating a third of the population is in need of aid.

The country has been gripped by violence amid the conflict between the junta - which seized power in a 2021 coup - and ethnic militias and resistance forces across the country.

On Wednesday, Myanmar's military government announced a temporary ceasefire lasting until 22 April, saying it was aimed at expediting relief and reconstruction efforts.

Rebel groups had already unilaterally declared a ceasefire to support relief efforts earlier this week, but the military had refused to do the same until Wednesday's announcement.

Aid workers have come under attack in Myanmar. On Tuesday night, the army opened fire at a Chinese Red Cross convoy carrying earthquake relief supplies.

Nine of the charity's vehicles came under attack. The UN and some charities have accused the military junta of blocking access.

The US Geological Survey's modelling estimates Myanmar's death toll could exceed 10,000, while the cost in damages to infrastructure could surpass the country's annual economic output.

Roads, water services and buildings including hospitals have been destroyed, especially in Mandalay, the hard-hit city near the epicentre.

In Thailand, at least 21 people have died.

The Red Cross has also issued an urgent appeal for $100m (£77m), while the UN is seeking $8m in donations for its response.

"People urgently require medical care, clean drinking water, tents, food, and other basic necessities," the International Rescue Committee (IRC) said on Monday.

The DEC brings together 15 leading UK aid charities to provide and deliver aid to ensure successful appeals.

The appeal will be broadcast on the BBC and other media outlets throughout Thursday.

Councils in England putting homeless children at risk, MPs find

BBC Sam Revell, a mother who received a payout after the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman upheld her complaint about temporary accommodationBBC
Sam Revell said she was placed in "horrendous" temporary accommodation

Councils are exposing homeless children to serious health and safeguarding risks by housing them in unsuitable temporary accommodation, an inquiry by MPs has found.

MPs said a "crisis in temporary accommodation" in England had left a record 164,000 children without a permanent home.

The inquiry concluded many children were living in "appalling conditions" and suffering significant impacts to their health and education as a result.

In a report, the MPs urged ministers to deliver more affordable homes and take urgent action to support families living in temporary accommodation.

In England, some local authorities have a legal duty to support the homeless, including providing temporary accommodation.

Temporary accommodation is meant as a short-term solution for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness and can include hostels and rooms in shared houses.

The inquiry was launched last year by MPs on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee, which condemned the state of some temporary accommodation as "utterly shameful".

The inquiry heard evidence of "egregious hazards" to children, including serious damp, mould, and mice infestations, and families living in temporary housing for years.

Florence Eshalomi, the Labour MP who leads the committee, told the BBC evidence showing the deaths of 74 children had been linked to temporary housing "should shock all of us".

"That should send alarm bells ringing," she said. "What was most shocking as well was the fact that over 58 of those young children were under the age of one. Where have we gone wrong?"

Eshalomi said when she was a child, she once lived in temporary accommodation filled with damp.

She said: "I think about what I went through as a young person and it pains me to think that many years later now as an MP, I see that still happening in the constituency I represent."

In its report, the committee set out recommendations, including requiring councils to check housing is safe to be used as temporary accommodation.

Another key recommendation was the proposal to give more powers to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman, which investigates complaints about the treatment of people placed in temporary housing.

In response to the inquiry, a government spokesperson said the findings were shocking, adding that the government was taking "urgent action to fix the broken system we inherited, investing nearly £1bn in homelessness services this year to help families trapped in temporary accommodation".

They said: "Alongside this, we are developing a long-term strategy to tackle homelessness, driving up housing standards and delivering the biggest boost in social and affordable homes in a generation."

Watch: Sam says she was placed 33 miles away from her child's school

In extreme cases, the ombudsman can ask councils to compensate people whose complaints are upheld - and data shared with the BBC shows a marked rise in those payouts.

Last year, the ombudsman upheld 176 complaints against councils and recommended 144 payouts in those cases.

The number of payouts last year - some worth thousands of pounds - was greater than the 121 in 2022-23 and the 73 in 2021-22.

Sam Revell, a mum of three, received a payout of about £2,000 in 2023.

The ombudsman found multiple faults in the way Bromley Council in London handled her request for temporary accommodation in 2022.

Sam said she ended up homeless after separating from her partner and approached the council for help.

"I couldn't get hold of an actual person to speak to," Sam said. "All my emails just went unanswered."

At one stage, she and her children slept overnight in her car when they had nowhere else to go.

"I think the one thing as a parent, you just put a roof over your children's head," Sam said.

"That for me, is just basic, and I couldn't even do that. I got a good job. I was in full-time employment, and the kids were in school and everything."

The ombudsman said the council eventually placed them in unsuitable interim accommodation, which was too far from her children's school and her workplace.

"It was like 33 miles in total and it took us sort of an hour each way," Sam said.

Sam said the council did not take account of her child's need to continue attending the primary school where she received specialist support.

She said the flat itself was "horrendous" and claimed neighbours were regularly taking drugs near her front door.

The ombudsman said the council did not respond properly to Sam's reports about delays in getting repairs done in this accommodation and incidents when she was threatened and physically assaulted by neighbours.

Sam and her children were allocated alternative accommodation in September 2022 but she had to wait three months before she could move in.

She accused the council of leaving her "in such a vulnerable situation that it was just so dangerous" and said the experience still affects her children to this day.

A council spokesperson said a national housing shortage meant offering homeless residents temporary accommodation they "would have chosen for themselves".

The spokesperson said: "We accept that mistakes were made in this case and extend our apology to this resident, recognising the continued understandable disquiet this experience has had.

"It is important to note Bromley Council co-operated fully with the ombudsman's investigation, which was two years ago, and agreed with the proposed remedial action, which has been fully implemented and lessons have been learnt."

Sam said the temporary housing she lived in was "dangerous" for her children

Cameron Black, a spokesman for the ombudsman, said the payouts recognise "the gravity of the injustice that's caused to the individuals in these cases".

He said there was a growing but small number of councils who are resistant to the ombudsman's findings and recommendations.

He said the ombudsman is calling for more powers to monitor whether councils are meeting their legal duties to support homeless people.

The rise in payouts comes as councils struggle to cover the costs of their legal duty to support the growing number of homeless families.

Local authorities spent around £2.29bn on temporary accommodation in 2023/24.

The Local Government Association said the scale of the challenge facing councils on temporary accommodation and homelessness "are immense".

"Government needs to use the upcoming Spending Review to ensure that councils are sufficiently resourced, including by urgently increasing the temporary accommodation subsidy," said Adam Hug, housing spokesperson for the LGA.

Trump to charge tariffs of up to 50% on 'worst offenders' globally

Watch: ''They're very tough traders' - President Trump reads from tariffs chart

President Donald Trump has unveiled plans for sweeping new import taxes on all goods entering the US, in a watershed moment for global trade.

The plan sets a baseline tariff on all imports of at least 10%, consistent with a proposal Trump made on the campaign last year.

Items from countries that the White House described as the "worst offenders", including the European Union, China, Vietnam and Lesotho, would face far higher rates for what Trump said was payback for unfair trade policies.

Trump's move breaks with decades of American policy embracing free trade, and analysts said it was likely to lead to higher prices in the US and slower growth in the US and around the world.

The White House said officials would start charging the 10% tariffs on 5 April, with the higher duties starting on 9 April.

"It's our declaration of economic independence," Trump said in the White House Rose Garden against a backdrop of US flags.

The Republican president said the US had for years been "looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike".

"Today we are standing up for the American worker and we are finally putting America first," he said, calling it "one of the most important days, in my opinion, in American history."

On the campaign trail last year, Trump called for new tariffs that he said would raise money for the government and boost manufacturing, promising a new age of American prosperity.

He has spent weeks previewing Wednesday's announcement, which follows other orders raising tariffs on imports from China, foreign cars, steel and aluminium and some goods from Mexico and Canada.

The White House said the latest changes would not apply to Mexico and Canada, two of America's closest trading partners.

Goods from the UK are set to face a new 10% tariff, while import taxes on items from the European Union would go to 20%.

The charge for goods imported from China will be 34%, while it will be 24% for Japan, and 26% on India.

Some of the highest rates will be levied on smaller countries, with goods from the southern African nation of Lesotho facing 50%, while Vietnam and Cambodia will be hit with 46% and 49% respectively.

The latter two have both seen a rush of investment in recent years, as firms shifted supply chains away from China following Trump's first term.

Together the moves will bring effective tariff rates in the US to levels not seen in decades.

Trump also confirmed that a 25% tax on imports of all foreign-made cars, which he announced last week, would begin from midnight.

Marine Le Pen's ban has outraged France's far right - and they may well seek revenge

BBC A black and white silhouette of Marine Le Pen, head onlyBBC

Outrage is a precious political currency and France's far right has spent this week attempting, furiously and predictably, to capitalise on the perceived injustice of a court's decision to block its totemic leader, Marine Le Pen, from standing in the 2027 presidential election.

The airwaves have been throbbing with indignation.

"Be outraged," said one of Le Pen's key deputies, on French television, in case anyone was in doubt as to what their reaction should be.

But it remains unclear whether Le Pen's tough sentence will broaden support for her party, the National Rally (RN), or lead to greater fragmentation of the French far right. Either way, it has created a feverish mood among the nation's politicians.

Le Pen and her allies have boldly declared that France's institutions, and democracy itself, have been "executed", are "dead", or "violated". The country's justice system has been turned into a "political" hit squad, shamelessly intervening in a nation's right to choose its own leaders. And Marine Le Pen has been widely portrayed, with something close to certainty, as France's president-in-waiting, as the nation's most popular politician, cruelly robbed of her near-inevitable procession towards the Élysée Palace.

"The system has released a nuclear bomb, and if it is using such a powerful weapon against us, it is obviously because we are about to win the elections," Le Pen fumed at a news conference, comparing herself to the poisoned, imprisoned, and now dead Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny.

As France assesses its latest political tremors, an uneven pushback has begun.

No clear frontrunner for president

Nervous about the impact the judgement may have for the country's frail coalition government, the Prime Minister François Bayrou has admitted to feeling "troubled" by Le Pen's sentence and worried about a "shock" to public opinion.

But other centrist politicians have taken a firmer line, stressing the need for a clear gap between the justice system and politics.

Getty Images Le Pen and Bardella wave their arms at a rally while people wave French flags behind themGetty Images
An opinion poll carried out a day before the court decision predicted that Le Pen would secure up to 37% of votes in the 2027 presidential election

An early opinion poll appears to show the French public taking a calm line, bursting – or at least deflating – the RN's bubble of outrage. The poll, produced within hours of the court's ruling, showed less than a third of the country – 31% - felt the decision to block Le Pen, immediately, from running for public office, was unjust.

Tellingly, that figure was less than the 37% of French people who recently expressed an interest in voting for her as president.

In other words, plenty of people who like her as a politician also think it reasonable that her crimes should disqualify her from running for office.

And remember, French presidential elections are still two years away – an eternity in the current political climate.

Emmanuel Macron is not entitled to stand for another term and no clear alternative to Le Pen, from the left or centre of French politics, has yet emerged. Le Pen's share of the vote has consistently risen during her previous three failed bids for the top job but it is premature, at best, to consider her a shoo-in for 2027.

Le Pen's crime and punishment

Anyone who followed the court case against her and her party colleagues in an impartial fashion would struggle to conclude that the verdicts in Le Pen's case were unreasonable.

The evidence of a massive and coordinated project to defraud the European Parliament and its associated taxpayers included jaw-droppingly incriminating emails suggesting officials knew exactly what they were doing, and the illegality of their actions.

That the corruption was for the party, not for personal gain, surely changes nothing. Corruption is corruption. Besides, other parties have also been found guilty of similar offences.

On 31 March, Marine Le Pen was banned with immediate effect from standing for office for five years

Regarding the punishments handed out by the court, here it seems fair to argue that Le Pen and her party made a strategic blunder in their approach to the case.

Had they acknowledged the facts, and their errors, and cooperated in facilitating a swift trial rather than helping to drag the process out for almost a decade, the judges – as they've now made clear – might have taken their attitude towards the case into consideration when considering punishments.

"Neither during the investigation nor at the trial did [Le Pen] show any awareness of the need for probity as an elected official, nor of the ensuing responsibilities," wrote the judges in a document explaining, often indignantly, why they'd delivered such a tough sentence.

They berated Le Pen for seeking to delay or avoid justice with "a defence system that disregards the uncovering of the truth".

Hypocrisy among the elite

It is worth noting, here, the wider hypocrisy demonstrated by elites across France's political spectrum who have recently been muttering their sympathy for Le Pen. It is nine years since MPs voted to toughen up the laws on corruption, introducing the very sanctions - on immediately banning criminals from public office - that were used by the judges in this case.

That toughening was welcomed by the public as an antidote to a judicial system stymied by an indulgent culture of successive appeals that enabled – and sometimes still enables - politicians to dodge accountability for decades.

Le Pen is now being gleefully taunted by her critics online with the many past instances in which she has called for stricter laws on corruption.

"When are we going to learn the lessons and effectively introduce lifelong ineligibility for those who have been convicted of acts committed while in office or during their term of office?" she asked in 2013.

Reasonable people can reasonably disagree about the court's sentencing decisions in Le Pen's case. But the notion – enthusiastically endorsed by populist and hard-right politicians across Europe and the US – that she is a victim of a conspiratorial political plot has clearly not convinced most French people.

At least not yet.

Future of France's far right

So where does this verdict – clearly a seismic moment in French politics – leave the National Rally and the wider far-right movement?

The short answer is that no one knows. There are so many variables involved – from the fate of Le Pen's fast-tracked appeal, to the RN's succession strategy, to the state of France's precarious finances, to the broader political climate and the see-sawing appetite for populism both within France and globally – that predictions are an even more dubious game than usual.

The most immediate question – given the slow pace of the legal appeal that Le Pen has vowed to initiate – is whether the RN will seek prompt revenge in parliament by attempting to bring down the fragile coalition government of François Bayrou.

Getty Images Marine Le Pen, left, next to her father Jean-Marie, rightGetty Images
Marine Le Pen followed her father Jean-Marie (right) to take over the far-right National Rally party (formerly the National Front)

That could lead to new parliamentary elections this summer and the possibility that the RN could capitalise on its victim status to increase its lead in parliament and perhaps, even, to push the country towards a deadlock in which President Macron might – yet another "might" – feel obliged to step down.

One person who will now be facing extra scrutiny is Le Pen's almost but not quite anointed successor, 29-year-old Jordan Bardella, who could be drafted in as a replacement presidential candidate if Le Pen's own "narrow path" towards the Élysée remains blocked on appeal.

If social-media-savvy Bardella's popularity among French youth is any indication of his prospects, he could well sweep to victory in 2027. He has found a way to tap into the frustrations of people angry about falling living standards and concerns about immigration.

Getty Images Le Pen on the left and Bardella on the rightGetty Images
Jordan Bardella is seen as Le Pen's successor, using social media to attract support among French youth

But turning youthful support into actual votes is not always straightforward, and other, more experienced and mainstream figures on the right may well be sensing an opportunity too.

The Interior Minister, Bruno Retailleau, is widely seen to be emerging as a potential contender. Some even wonder if the provocative television personality, Cyril Hanouna, might become a serious political force on the right of French politics.

Meanwhile, Bardella, like the RN in general, has been on a highly disciplined mission to detoxify the party's once overtly racist and antisemitic brand. In February, for instance, he abandoned plans to speak at America's far-right CPAC event after Donald Trump's former advisor Steve Bannon made a Nazi salute.

But this week's events have revealed that the RN is enthusiastically committed to the distinctly Trump-ian and populist strategy of blaming its misfortunes on a "swamp" of unelected officials. Bardella, meanwhile, complained about the recent closure of two right-wing media channels alongside his party's own legal struggles.

"There is an extremely serious drift today that does not reflect the idea we have of French democracy," he said.

It's the sort of language that goes down well with the RN's core constituency, but its broader appeal may be limited in a country that remains, in many ways, deeply attached to its institutions.

To frame it another way, will French voters be more motivated by the belief that Le Pen was unfairly punished, or by concern that the judges involved have since been the victims of death threats and other insults?

关于 AEB 什么时候不能用,我们翻遍了各家的说明书


前几天发生的小米 SU7 在高速上发生的碰撞事故引发了大家非常多的关注。

在围观各种讨论之时,我们发现大家对于 NOA 等智驾功能大都比较了解,但是对 AEB、ESA 等这类车辆主动安全功能的认知却相对缺乏。

于是,在为逝去的生命感到痛惜的同时,董车会也花梳理和总结了 AEB、ESA 等主动安全系统的触发条件和局限性,让大家知道这些功能在什么情况下——

不会被触发。

但依然需要强调的是:

任何安全辅助功能,都有严格的触发条件,无法保证在任何情形下都能激活。

辅助驾驶功能无法代替驾驶员对交通状况的观察和判断,以及驾驶员对安全驾驶车辆的责任。请全程手扶方向盘并保持对车辆的控制。

自动紧急制动(AEB)和前向碰撞预警(FCW)

在这次事故中,人们问的最多的就是,「事故发生时,AEB 等主动安全功能是否触发」,小米客服回应如下:

小米 SU7 标准版有前向防碰撞辅助功能包括碰撞预警 ( FCW ) 和紧急制动 ( AEB ) 两个子功能,作用对象是车辆、行人、二轮车三类目标,其中 AEB 功能工作速度在 8-135km/h 之间。这个功能和行业同配置的 AEB 功能类似,目前不响应锥桶、水马、石头、动物等障碍物。

董车会翻阅了理想、问界、岚图、小鹏、特斯拉、小米和沃尔沃等品牌的说明书,碰撞预警 ( FCW ) 和紧急制动 ( AEB ) 都是标配功能,其中制动功能的工作速度范围在 5km/h-135km/h 之间。

当车辆在区间速度内行驶时,前向碰撞预警(FCW)系统会实时检测车辆前方行驶环境,当识别到自车可能与前方的车辆、行人或骑行人发生碰撞时发出预警。

在车辆即将与满足自动紧急制动条件的车辆、行人或骑行人发生碰撞时,自动紧急制动(AEB)会自动实施制动,降低车辆速度,从而尽可能降低正面碰撞程度。

然而,AEB 系统在面对以下几种情况时可能无法正常工作:

  • 较低的目标(如儿童、蹲伏的行人)。
  • 异形障碍物(如落石、侧卧行人、水马、动物等)。
  • 迎面驶来、斜向或横向运动的车辆、行人、二轮车。
  • 相邻车道骑线行驶的车辆或二轮车。
  • 只有部分车身和本车重叠的前车。
  • 近距离切入或快速并入本车道的车辆。

需要特别注意的是,在低速拥堵跟车场景下时,车辆会优先响应驾驶员的加速跟车请求。若跟车过程中前方车辆突然停止,系统可能无法及时触发警告与自动紧急制动。

误加速抑制辅助(防误踩功能)

在各类交通事故中,由于紧急情况下误踩加速踏板的悲剧也屡见不鲜。

在一些车型上也相应的配备了防误踩功能,不过各家对于其正常工作时的速度限制有非常大的不同,有的车型只在 50km/h以下的低速场景有效,部分高端车型则在 150 km/h 以下都可以生效。

以全新的岚图梦想家为例,其对防误踩加速踏板(UAP)这一功能的描述如下。

当车辆起步或以不高于 150 km/h 的速度行驶时,防误踩加速踏板(UAP)系统实时检测车辆周围行驶环境,若识别到驾驶员在自车可能与前方或后方的车辆、行人、骑行人、石墩或护栏等障碍物碰撞时深踩加速踏板,则车辆会抑制动力输出,从而限制车辆的加速能力,降低碰撞风险或减少碰撞程度。

这里面还特别提到,防误踩加速踏板系统不会对以下目标(包括但不限于)生效:

  • 横向穿行的车辆、行人或骑行人。
  • 相邻车道骑线行驶的车辆。
  • 低矮障碍物,例如倒地的行人、骑行人。

需要着重强调的是,该功能触发后仅会限制车辆急加速,不会自动刹车,驾驶员仍需主动刹车。

紧急转向辅助(ESA)

相信大家在不少平台上都看到过,诸如沃尔沃等车型在前方发生事故时,主动变道避险的视频。

这个功能叫紧急转向辅助(ESA),其作用主要是利用摄像头等传感器识别车辆前方障碍物,在遇到危险时会辅助驾驶员加大转向力度,从而尽可能避过障碍物。

不同车型在实现这项功能时允许的速度区间稍有差异,享界 S9 该功能工作速度区间在 50 km/h ~ 120 km/h,特斯拉 Model Y 则是在48 km/h ~ 140 km/h 之间可以发挥作用,但都需要同时满足道路平直,路况良好和驾驶员保持手握方向盘的条件。

紧急转向辅助(ESA)主要用来降低以下任一障碍物碰撞的风险:

  • 静止的车辆、行人或骑行人。
  • 与自车同向行驶但急减速的车辆、行人或骑行人。
  • 逆向行驶到自车车道的车辆、行人或骑行人。

而且需要驾驶者已经向一侧转动方向盘,有显著的转向避让操作,但其动作不足以避免碰撞;以及驾驶员转向侧有充足的避障空间,不会与相邻车道内的车辆等障碍物碰撞。

当然在高速情况下,ESA 还是保证了驾驶员的控制权,当驾驶员采取以下措施时,ESA 功能会退出:

  • 紧握方向盘,导致方向盘无法转动。
  • 向任一方向大力转动方向盘。
  • 深踩加速踏板。
  • 深踩制动踏板。

我们也留意到,距前一次紧急转向辅助激活后数秒内,系统可能不会再次触发紧急转向辅助,所以在此功能触发后,需要驾驶员尽快接管并稳定车辆。

翻了一天的说明书,董车会还发现了一个关键点:

各家车企都有提到,上述功能的实现有赖于摄像头和雷达等传感器,受限于传感器本身,在各类恶劣天气、强光、逆光、低能见度等场景下,这类安全功能的可靠性都无法保障。

车辆本身存在的下述状态,也会直接导致各类安全系统无法正常工作。

  • 车辆任一车门、前机舱盖或后备箱未关闭或发生故障。
  • 驾驶员未系好安全带。
  • 驾驶员未手握方向盘。
  • 不当使用方向盘,导致系统无法正确识别驾驶员转向操作(例如佩戴手套后驾驶车辆、将手放在方向盘中央区域驾驶车辆,或在方向盘上安装方向盘套等)。

从这些说明中,大家可以明显看出,尽管各类安全功能经过数十年的发展,但由于受到多种因素的制约,当前的技术仍然只能降低风险,而非消除风险。在驾驶过程中,系统和软件依然扮演着辅助角色,距离完全取代驾驶员还有很长的路要走。

在智能驾驶技术飞速发展的今天,我们更需要清晰地认识到驾驶员的责任与智能驾驶系统的能力边界,只有这样,才能真正实现让技术造福人类的目标。

受限于篇幅,董车会这次只讲了主动安全系统中的部分功能,各个品牌和车型也有不小的差异,如果大家在安全驾驶方面有更多的感悟和意见,欢迎分享在评论区,一起帮助更多人安全出行。

奇瑞旗下多品牌重新调整

据 36 氪消息,奇瑞将再次对新能源产品线发起大型调整,原本属于奇瑞集团 iCAR 品牌旗下的产品线 QQ冰淇淋、大蚂蚁、小蚂蚁,已被剥离,整合至奇瑞品牌下。同时,奇瑞品牌还将发布另一款新能源产品「多米」。

目前,奇瑞集团共有奇瑞、捷途、星途、iCAR、智界 5 个品牌。其中奇瑞品牌历史最为悠久主打大众市场;而 iCAR 诞生于 2023 年上海车展前夕,目标为年轻一代的消费者。报道指出,iCAR 是奇瑞集团发布的首个独立新能源电动品牌,也被公司内部视为在新能源战略上迈出的重要一步。

而据知情人士透露,新品牌「多米」将由原先的凯翼拾月 Mate 换标改款而来,因而「多米」市场定位、售价也会与之接近。据悉,凯翼拾月 Mate 是一款五门五座的纯电车型,定位城市代步,定价为 5.98 万元起。

2023 年,奇瑞集团董事尹同跃曾对外界表示「奇瑞新能源起了大早,赶了晚集」,同时为奇瑞新能源定下目标:2024 年中要做到行业第三,年底做到第二。但据 2024 年底数据显示,奇瑞新能源车销量不到 60 万辆,排在第四位。

报道结合上述信息指出,奇瑞打算继续以车海战术攻入新能源汽车市场,而「多米」就是车海战术中的一张牌。除此之外,奇瑞还打算年内上市,因此其正想方设法在有限的时间内,提升新能源车的销量占比。

💡 微软 CEO:Scaling Law 正给 AI 带来巨大转变

3 月 27 日,微软 CEO Satya Nadella 在日本微软 AI 巡回活动中发表演讲。

开篇,Satya Nadella 便聊到时下热门的 Scaling Law。他表示,伴随着深度学习带来的革命性突破,团队开始观察到一系列基础性的预训练 Scaling Law,正促使 AI 能力大约每六个月实现一次翻倍。Satya Nadella 还透露,计算领域所带来的 Scaling Law 也一同并入了发展的曲线中,事实上 AI 能力已缩短至「每三个月一次翻倍」。

指出,AI 快速发展带来了更低的使用价格,而真正问题在于,人类需要如何高效利用这些强大的 AI 能力。Satya Nadella 总结了三大根本性突破,来阐述了如何更好地发挥 AI 的能力,并重塑整个生活乃至社会领域:

  • 第一大突破在于用户界面。随着多模态模型的能力日趋强大,交互方式也变得越来越自然流畅,用户将可以直接与 AI 进行对话;AI 将能融入人类的周遭世界,变得更加无感,同时能够渗透到每一个部分,无论虚拟还是现实;
  • 第二点,人类还将获得在规划和推理方面强大的赋能。Satya Nadella 解释,AI 不再仅仅局限于处理输入和输出信息,用户可以让它进行长远规划、前瞻性思考以及复杂的逻辑推理;
  • 基于第二点,用户甚至可以赋予 AI 更为复杂的长期记忆能力和更丰富的上下文信息,从而确保它的回应和行动都有可靠的事实依据,即让 AI 能够基于特定的背景知识以及过往的交互历史来进行思考和运作。

因此 Satya Nadella 认为,上述三项核心能力 ——「自然的交互界面」「强大的规划与推理」「基于背景和记忆的事实依据」,将对整个技术栈产生极为深远的影响。此外,Satya Nadella 也表示,AI 应该予力全球每一个人、每一组织,并在所有人手上成就不凡。

Meta 计划今年推出全新 AR 眼镜

据彭博社记者 Mark Gurman 消息称,Meta 计划最早在今年年底向市场推出第一副带屏幕的眼镜,售价将超过 1000 美元,最高在 1300-1400 美元左右。作为对比,不带屏幕的智能眼镜 Ray-Ban Meta 售价 399 美元,折合人民币 3000 元左右。

去年,Meta 曾展示了「Orion」AR 眼镜的原型机;但本次爆料的机型代号为「Hypernova」,并非前者。具体配置方面:

  • 第一代的 Hypernova 只在右镜片的右下象限有屏幕,这意味着内容只会显示在用户的右眼,避免了面对他人时「翻白眼」看眼镜屏幕的问题;
  • 系统方面,Hypernova 预计将采用高度定制 Android 系统,并且 Meta 也暂时不打算为该设备提供应用商店;系统界面将采用圆形应用图标,水平排布系统主屏幕,类似 iPhone 和 Mac 的底部「dock」栏,接近当下 Meta Quest 的界面。此外,Hypernova 将十分依赖手机配合使用的 App。
  • Meta 还将升级 Hypernova 的摄像头配置。目前的 Ray-Ban Meta 摄像头为 1200 万像素,Meta 将其视为「iPhone 11」级别,而 Hypernova 或能配备一个等同于「iPhone 13」级别的摄像头。

对于这副眼镜的交互方式,Meta 准备了两种方案:

  • 眼镜镜框侧面的电容式触摸,用户可以滑动、点击眼镜腿来滚动和选取应用或照片;
  • 「神经腕带」,使用手势来控制眼镜,可以转手、捏合来滚动和选取项目,代号为「Ceres」的配件将在包装盒内随眼镜一起提供,这个方案也作为 Orion 的交互在去年进行过演示。

除了 Hypernova,Meta 还在打造「Supernova 2」的智能眼镜,这款产品将基于 Oakley 运动眼镜打造,不带任何显示功能,基本等同于 Ray-Ban Meta 的运动款,对自行车骑行等运动进行了优化。

报道指出,虽然 Hypernova 一代还没问世,Meta 已经在着手开发 Hypernova 2,将包含双目显示系统,预计在 2027 年推出。

至于 Orion 原型机的商用计划,据最新进展显示,产品名可能定为「Artemis」,目前 Meta 正在利用 Oriion 进行软件测试和应用开发, 最终将提供给开发人员,Artemis 的推出可能不会早于 2027 年。

但知情人士表示,上面的消息并不意味着 Meta 最终都会推出这些产品,因为 Meta 经常在开发过程中更改和取消产品。就目前而言,Meta 的混合现实部门 Reality Labs 内部也对产品计划有不少顾虑,有可能将 Artemis 和 Hypernova 合二为一。

必胜客「抽象双蛇披萨」引发热议

近日,必胜客推出 2025 年愚人节限定「双蛇姐妹双修披萨」,其所谓 「双蛇」指的是芝心「白蛇姐姐」披萨和开心「青蛇妹妹」披萨,价格方面是两款任选只要 29.9 元。

然而,不少消费者购买后吐槽青蛇白蛇披萨实物与宣传图片相差甚远,更是辣评「抽象到没边」,纷纷在网上晒图。据网上晒出的图片显示,「双蛇姐妹双修披萨」像两条晒干的弯曲面包一样,躺在纸托盘中,令人毫无食欲。

而这还不是必胜客第一次「整活」:去年万圣节推出的「哥布林」披萨,是一只油炸牛蛙瞪着塑料眼球,趴在一份满是香菜堆的披萨。此外,必胜客还推出过香菜皮蛋猪血披萨、榴莲臭豆腐披萨、花生汤圆披萨等。

据一家上架该产品的必胜客门店工作人员向媒体透露,这款「双蛇姐妹双修披萨」属于愚人节限定款,仅在部分门店推出,过段时间就下架。店员表示,留意到了网上对披萨造型的吐槽,其称,虽然公司统一培训,但因为食材问题,手工制作时没办法达到很完美的效果。
