UN Adopts First Global Rules for Driverless Cars

The UNECE has adopted the first global regulatory framework for fully driverless automated driving systems on June 24, 2026. It sets uniform safety and testing standards but still requires each country to issue its own homologations before vehicles can operate without a driver.

Apple Intelligence Secures Chinese Regulatory Clearance

Chinese regulators have cleared Apple Intelligence for local deployment, allowing the on-device AI service to reach iPhones in the country for the first time. The rollout will draw on models from Alibaba and Baidu and follows a 24.4 percent year-over-year rise in iPhone shipments during the second quarter.

Google opens Android to third-party app stores July 22

Google will allow US third-party app stores to access the Play catalog starting July 22 under the new Play Catalog Access Program. The change complies with the Epic Games court order while imposing $5,000 onboarding and annual fees plus US-only distribution rules.
