Lyft has just announced plans to partner with three companies in the autonomous vehicle (AV) sector and gradually introduce their technology into its network starting in 2025. The three companies are Mobileye, May Mobility and Nexar. Mobileye is a pioneer of self-driving technology and has also developed advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Lyfts partnership with Mobileye will allow vehicles already equipped with Mobileyes tech to start transporting passengers to their destinations, integrating them into the Lyft network seamlessly. The technology will be available to both small and large fleets on Lyft. Additionally, Lyft and May Mobility, another AV company, are teaming up to bring AVs to Atlanta next year. May Mobilitys technology helps these cars drive independently and will serve as a proof of concept before Lyft brings them to other locations. Riders in Atlanta can just use the app for a chance to match with Lyfts autonomous Toyota Sienna minivans in the city. Because AV technology is still far from mature, Lyft is working with Nexar, the worlds first vehicle-to-vehicle network provider, to gather anonymized fleet and marketplace data to improve autonomous driving technology. Nexars smart dashcams not only keep drivers safe but they help fleet operators monitor their drivers. Nexar has plenty of video footage, up to hundreds of millions of hours. Combining this data and Lyfts can help improve self-driving cars. Besides optimizing its AVs performance, Lyft wants to jointly contribute to a more complete data set for autonomous research and development. This announcement aligns with Lyfts 2022 statement saying that it intended to incorporate more self-driving cars into its services. The same year, Lyft, cooperating with Motional, introduced AVs to Los Angeles. However, Motional remarked in May that its AVs wont deploy on a large scale just yet.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/lyft-is-partnering-with-mobileye-and-introducing-more-autonomous-vehicles-in-2025-140054826.html?src=rss

Steam's Game Recording function has come out of beta and is now available to everyone on Mac, PC and Steam Deck, Valve announced. It provides a native tool to record gaming sessions and also offers basic editing tools to trim clips. Users can either run it in the background or manually start or stop recording. On top of that, there's a replay option that lets you quickly review recent recordings. You can then add markers for key moments, and if the game supports Game Recording's Timeline feature, Steam will add its own markers. The new feature negates the need for third-party recorders or apps from NVIDIA and AMD. Since the tool was first unveiled in June 2024, several games have provided official support with Timeline and event markers, most notably Valve's own Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2. Third-party developers can also implement the features using Valve's SDK. Valve says that that the feature will minimize the use of your resources, unless your system lacks a GPU. Steam Game Recording has been designed with the goal of taking as little computer resources away from the game you are playing as possible. It takes advantage of NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards to remove most of the performance cost of creating video recordings. When run on systems without those graphics cards, the system's CPU is used to create video recordings which may cause a noticeable performance impact. Clips can be exported as MP4 files, sent to other devices, shared to mobile via QR code or shared via temporary link anyone on Steam can view. To get the new feature, you'll need to update Steam. Then, head to the Game Recording section in settings and turn the feature on. Note that it's available on Windows 10/11 and MacOS 10.13 or 10.14.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/steams-game-recorder-is-now-available-to-everyone-133031357.html?src=rss
