Segway-Ninebot has announced a new partnership with tech startups Drover AI and Luna Systems. The announcement was made at the Micromobility Europe event in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The move is aimed at driving the development of Segway’s AI-powered e-scooter plans.
Segway-Ninebot is working on introducing computer vision tech to its AI-enabled electric scooter. The company’s new partnership with Drover AI and Luna aims at developing computer vision capability into e-scooters. This will enable the machine to detect and correct improper e-scooter riding. Segway hopes to integrate the tech into its AI-enabled e-scooters for optimized performance and safety.
The Segway S90L AI-enabled e-scooter was launched in 2022. It was viewed as the vertically integrated solution to the Scooter Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS). It offered a unified platform that provided for all-round and intelligent management of the scooter. It was a decent alternative for micromobility operators than having to retrofit third-party hardware and software systems on their e-scooter fleet. The ARAS was already the in-thing among operators before the introduction of the Segway solution.
Segway has sold over 20,000 S90L e-scooters to shared micromobility operators like Lyft since its release. However, the new move aimed at expanding the outlook of its operations. It will enable Segway to focus on its core area of hardware development while its partners, Drover AI and Luna take care of the software solutions. Drover AI and Luna are leaders in the ARAS ecosystem. They test and sell attachable IoT modules to several companies including Fenix, Beam, and Spin.
Segway says that the deployment of AI-based scooters in cities requires the training of the computer vision system in the scooter so as to learn the city’s architecture. There is therefore a huge amount of data that needs to be collected in every new city where the S90L is deployed. The model also has to be built in a way that is suitable for each city, according to Segway. Both Drover and Luna will provide the needed capacity for such city deployments. It is a non-exclusive partnership and buyers of the S90L can choose any of the startups for the needed support.
Segway still retains its own alternative software solution that buyers can also choose to retrofit into their e-scooter. Its new modular AI system is called Pilot Edge and is an add-on box with the necessary sensors. Drover is Segway’s preferred software partner and the brand will also recommend that customers purchase Segway’s hardware platform. The win-win situation for the software partners Drover and Luna, means both can fully focus on software development and deployment.

Realme Global Vice President for Business and Corporate Strategy Madhav Sheth is reportedly set to exit the company. He is expected to join HONOR’s India branch to revive the brand in the country. The information comes from IANS citing top sources familiar with the matter. Additionally, the company’s director-level executives across online and offline verticals are also expected to follow Sheth at HONOR India.
HONOR might comeback in Indian market as Madhav Sheth set to join the company
Earlier in March this year, Sheth was made the Global VP of Realme. This meant that he was no longer the CEO of the company’s India branch. The India business was entrusted to Nisar Naikoo and Dipesh Punamiya, who would manage it independently.
Additionally, before this, there were also rumors that the executive had resigned from his role which were denied. Sheth has been a part of Realme since its inception in 2018 and has played an integral role in establishing the brand’s presence in the Indian as well as European markets by introducing consumer products with innovative technologies. However, the executive has been noticeably absent from Realme’s launches in India including the recent Realme 11 Pro 5G series.
The development at Realme comes at a significant time when the Indian smartphone market is undergoing changes with Apple and Samsung solidifying their positions. Chinese brands are increasingly facing challenges.
Huawei sold off its HONOR smartphone business to China-based Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co Ltd in 2020. However, the brand still announced that it is committed to the Indian market and offering products beyond smartphones in the laptops and wearables segment.
Both Realme and Huawei are yet to provide an official statement on this development. Madhav Sheth has also not shared any announcement. It will be intresting to see HONOR’s rival in the Indian market under the solid leadership of Sheth.

This article delves into the specific updates, addressing concerns about screen burn-in and highlighting the new display features offered by the latest firmware.
The system update aims to address certain stability issues reported by users. Huawei claims that its engineers have diligently worked on resolving these concerns to provide a smoother user experience. With the update, Mate X3 users can expect a more stable operating environment for their devices.
One of the prominent additions in this update is the expansion of the screen-off display options. Previously, users had limited choices for their off-screen display settings. However, the new update introduces two additional options: all-day display and timing display. These options can be accessed through the “Display Mode” setting menu, allowing users to customize their device’s off-screen appearance according to their preferences.
Huawei has taken measures to ensure that the screen-off display features do not cause burn-in issues. The company’s customer service team has clarified that the screen-off display time and background image have been optimized to prevent burn-in. To prevent static images from lingering on the screen, the background image will periodically move downward and upward every minute. Additionally, when the background image nears the fingerprint icon, they will be displayed alternately to avoid overlapping.
Tesla first announced the Cybertruck on November 21, 2019. During a special event held in Los Angeles, California, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, unveiled the Cybertruck to the public. The announcement generated significant attention and sparked discussions about the vehicle’s unique design and features. The company had opened their preorders shortly thereafter, and in a matter of days, the truck was completely prebooked. However, some three and a half years later, the Cybertruck still hasn’t launched amongst the public. As per latest reports, Tesla is finally gearing up to produce a staggering 375,000 Cybertrucks annually, with candidate models set to be launched by the end of August. The timeline suggests that customers can expect deliveries to commence by the end of the third quarter, around September 2023. Let’s delve into the latest developments surrounding Tesla’s delayed Cybertruck production.
Mass Production is expected to begin in early October
During Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting, CEO Elon Musk initially projected an annual production target of 250,000 Cybertrucks. However, recent reports indicate that Tesla is now asking suppliers to prepare for a base production rate of 375,000 units per year, showcasing the company’s ambition and growing confidence in the market demand for the Cybertruck.
The release of the first Cybertruck candidate models, also known as “pre-production vehicles” or “release candidates,” is slated for the end of August. This crucial step represents the final stage before full-scale production commences. If all goes according to plan, mass production of the Cybertruck is expected to begin in early October, marking a significant milestone in Tesla’s journey towards fulfilling the eagerly awaited orders.
Tesla’s approach to deliveries follows a familiar pattern. As with previous vehicle launches, such as the Model Y, initial deliveries of the Cybertruck will be exclusive to Tesla employees and insiders. This approach not only generates excitement among the company’s dedicated workforce but also provides an opportunity to refine the production process based on real-world feedback and ensure a smooth customer experience when deliveries open up to the general public.
