In this episode of Middle Tech, Logan and Evan discuss three big stories in the tech world: Toyota's investment in sustainable energy and Elon Musk's Neuralink getting FDA approval. We'll also talk about Nvidia's brief brush with a $1 trillion valuation.
\nToyota Sustainable Energy
\nToyota has announced that it will be investing $591 million in its Kentucky manufacturing plant to produce a new battery electric vehicle. The plant is expected to create 9,000 new jobs and will help Toyota achieve its goal of carbon neutrality in North America by 2035.
\nThe investment is part of Toyota's broader commitment to sustainable energy. The company has already invested heavily in solar and wind power, and it plans to continue to increase its use of renewable energy sources.
\nNeuralink Gets FDA Approval
\nElon Musk's Neuralink company has received FDA approval to begin human trials of its brain-computer interface implant. The implant is designed to help people with severe paralysis regain communication and movement abilities.
\nNeuralink is one of several companies working on brain-computer interfaces. The technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with computers and the world around us.
\nNvidia Briefly Touches $1 Trillion Marketcap
\nGraphics chip maker Nvidia briefly touched the $1 trillion marketcap mark last week. The company's stock price has been on a tear in recent years, thanks to strong demand for its chips from data centers and the gaming industry.
\nNvidia's success is a sign of the growing importance of artificial intelligence. The company's chips are used to power AI systems in everything from self-driving cars to facial recognition software.
