Toyota Motor is set to launch a pilot project testing a transportation system focusing on autonomous vehicles, in one of Japan's first such initiatives in a real-life setting over a wide area. The company will team up with the University of Tsukuba and the government of the city, just north of Tokyo, to run the project. Under the system envisioned, self-driving, single-seat electric vehicles will take passengers from their homes to the nearest bus stop, where they will be able to transfer to autonomous, fuel-cell powered buses. The experiment, set for launch in fiscal 2019 and running until fiscal 2022, will test the feasibility of the relevant technologies in situations involving regular traffic. One of the main aims of the project is to help resolve the issue of elderly citizens being isolated from their communities.

Microsoft has halted a major new update for Windows 10 after people reported that it caused their files to be deleted. Version 1809 of the popular operating system was meant to "empower a new era of personal productivity," according to Microsoft. But shortly after its roll out, complaints of data going missing began to spread across social media. "My'Documents' folder got deleted somehow causing *all* of my personal documents (Word docs, spreadsheets, etc) to disappear... My last backups are ancient," one Windows 10 user wrote on Twitter.
