LG Uplus will work with Hyundai Elevator to enhance an AI-based remote monitoring system for elevators. The companies signed an agreement on Sept. 15 in Seoul to cooperate on wireless services and AI and security for a smart remote monitoring platform. They plan to apply LG Uplus machine-to-machine services to communications between elevators and Hyundai Elevator’s MIRI platform and to test an emergency call model using AI voice recognition.

Tesla has been found to have built a hidden manual control function into its steering wheel- and pedal-free Cybercab robotaxi, allowing movement via a virtual on-screen joystick. Passengers recently spotted the interface on the vehicle display, which is believed to be intended for Tesla staff or maintenance personnel to reposition vehicles at low speed. How the function can be accessed and what safeguards apply remain unconfirmed, with no further explanation from Tesla.
