Waymo’s acceleration was all the more striking in a year that saw General Motors shut its Cruise robotaxi unit after pouring $10bn into the venture since 2016, as well as Apple abandoning its Project Titan car project.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already transforming many industries, but not all tech companies will benefit equally. The companies with the most potential notched their AI lead years ago before their rivals had even jumped on the AI trend.

Agentic AI is the next big development in the world of artificial intelligence. Here's what is and how it might shape how our world works in the future.

For years, the self-driving car industry has been hyped as the next big thing in AI, with promises of robotaxis replacing human drivers and billions of
