If you're sick of carefully driving over Britain's pothole-filled roads, there's good news - as a futuristic car could make navigating these divets much easier. An impressive promo clip from BYD shows its Yangwang U9 sports supercar jumping over obstacles, including a 20ft pothole. The autonomous vehicle speeds along at nearly 75mph as it performs little bunny hops into the air, without anyone in the driver's seat. Like an agile land mammal, the U9 shrinks down first, then bounces up, briefly launching all four wheels off the ground at the same time. The vehicle boasts some impressive specs as it is able to go from 0-62mph in just 2.36 seconds, with a straight-line top speed of 243.54 mph (391.94

For drivers who endure Britain's crumbling roads daily, there's no doubt we're stuck in an escalating'pothole crisis'. These dangerous holes can injure and even kill cyclists and motorists, and are popping up quicker than they can be filled. Now, interactive graphics reveal the shocking extent of the problem - and scientists think climate change is to blame. Climate organisation Round our Way reveals 952,064 potholes were reported in Britain between January and November last year, marking a five-year high. MailOnline's interactive map, based on the new data, reveals the local authorities with the most pothole reports during the period.

Drones have become a "threat to national security", the prisons watchdog has said, after a surge in the amount of weapons and drugs flown into high-security jails. Charlie Taylor, the chief inspector of prisons, called for urgent action from Whitehall and the police after inquiries found that terrorism suspects and criminal gangs could escape or attack guards because safety had been "seriously compromised". His demands follow inspections at two category A prisons holding some of England and Wales's most dangerous inmates. HMP Manchester and HMP Long Lartin in Worcestershire had thriving illicit economies selling drugs, mobile phones and weapons, and basic anti-drone security measures such as protective netting and CCTV had been allowed to fall into disrepair, inspectors found. In a report released on Tuesday, Taylor said the police and prison service had "in effect ceded the airspace above two high-security prisons to organised crime gangs" despite knowing they were holding "extremely dangerous prisoners".

Amid signs of a stagnating economy, the UK is going all-in on AI. On Monday, British Minister Keir Starmer announced a new AI Opportunities Action Plan. At the center of the initiative are "AI Growth Zones," which the government plans to establish in de-industrialized areas throughout the country. Starmer said the UK's first AI Growth Zone would be established in Culham, Oxfordshire, home to the country's Atomic Energy Authority. More zones will be announced in the summer.

Tucked away in the village of Leasowe, near Moreton on the Wirral peninsula west of Liverpool, the US pharmaceutical company Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) is building a new 35m glass-clad laboratory building. It is part of a growing life sciences cluster in and around Liverpool, one of the largest in Europe, and a leader in vaccine development and manufacture, as well as infectious disease research projects in the UK. The move comes as Britain's biggest company, AstraZeneca, has put on hold a 450m investment in a vaccine research and manufacturing site in nearby Speke, a suburb to the south of Liverpool, while it tries to secure UK government grant funding. A grant would constitute one of the first big state interventions since Labour came to power in July, and a test of how well the drug maker, run by Pascal Soriot – the best-paid chief executive of a FTSE 100-listed company, who is in line for up to 18.7m for 2024 – can flex its muscle. Meanwhile, the new BMS building, to be unveiled next May, is 50% bigger than its existing labs in Wirral, and will house 250 scientists and operational staff, more than double the number of eight years ago.

Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions' Government Group, tells Fox News Digital that criminal groups, mostly in other countries, are advertising on social media to market their AI capabilities for fraud and other crimes. I was having dinner with my husband in Paris. We got the wine menu and all the names, of course, were in French. Barry wanted something equivalent to a Napa cabernet, so I took a picture of the menu and asked ChatGPT. In seconds, it recommended a wine.

IC3K 2024 (16th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management) received 175 paper submissions from 47 countries. To evaluate each submission, a double‐blind paper review was performed by the Program Committee. After a stringent selection process, 37 papers were published and presented as full papers, i.e. completed work (12 The organizing committee included the IC3K Conference Chair: Jorge Bernardino, Polytechnic University of Coimbra, Portugal and the IC3K 2024 Program Chairs: David Aveiro, University of Madeira, NOVA- LINCS and ARDITI, Portugal, Antonella Poggi, Università di Roma "La Sapienza", Italy, Ana Fred, Instituto de Telecomunicações and Instituto Superior Técnico (University of Lisbon), Portugal, Le Gruenwald, University of Oklahoma, School of Computer Science, United States, Elio Masciari, University of Napoli Federico II, Italy and Frans Coenen, University of Liverpool, United Kingdom. At the closing session, the conference acknowledged a few papers that were considered excellent in their class, presenting a "Best Paper Award", "Best Student Paper Award" and "Best Poster Award" for each of the co-located conferences. A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer in a CCIS Series Book.

There's no doubt Great Britain lays claim to some of the greatest scientific discoveries and inventions that have changed the face of modern society. Now, MailOnline's interactive map reveals the birthplace of 30 of these famous British marvels, from stainless steel to the jet engine and the electric motor. Who can forget Alan Turing's Bombe machine, used to break Enigma-enciphered messages about enemy military operations during WWII? Turing developed the Bombe in 1939 at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire and hundreds were built, marking a crucial contribution to the war effort. Also on the map is the hovercraft invented by Christopher Cockerell in 1955 and first launched four years later on the the Isle of Wight.

A shocking number of American adults don't know the signs of a heart attack. New research is emphasizing that socializing with friends and family may help protect people against heart attack, stroke, type 2 diabetes and other conditions and illnesses. The study suggests that social interactions may keep people healthy because these interactions boost the immune system and reduce the risk of disease. Cambridge University researchers, along with colleagues in China, came to these conclusions after studying protein in blood samples taken from over 42,000 adults recruited to the U.K. Biobank, news agency SWNS reported. The study team said social relationships play a key role in well-being.

A significant proportion of people today live in towns and cities that grew up around trade, industry, and cars. Think of the docks of Liverpool, the factories of Osaka, the automobile obsession of New York's Robert Moses, or the low-density sprawl of modern Riyadh. Few of these places were created with human health in mind. Meanwhile, as humanity has shifted its center of gravity to cities, there's been an alarming rise in illnesses such as depression, cancer, and diabetes. This mismatch between humans and our habitat shouldn't come as a surprise.
