🤖 Lyft to Roll Out Autonomous Taxis in Atlanta and Dallas
Lyft will launch its autonomous taxi service in Atlanta this summer, using Toyota Sienna minivans powered by May Mobility’s MPDM software. The system predicts and simulates nearby movement to make safe driving decisions, even if a sensor fails.
In Dallas (2026), Lyft will partner with Marubeni and Intel’s Mobileye, using Mobileye’s Driver system built on EyeQ 6 chips. The company aims to deploy thousands of autonomous vehicles across multiple cities in the long term.

🚀 Vento launches €75M fund to back Italian founders - wherever they are! 🇮🇹
Vento, one of Italy’s most active early-stage VCs, has announced a new €75M fund to support Italian startup founders globally. Inspired by Paris-based Kima Ventures, Vento aims to bridge Italy’s startup ecosystem with the world.
Why does this matter❕
Despite Italy’s rich entrepreneurial spirit, the startup ecosystem has lagged behind compared to other European markets. Vento, originally launched by John Elkann (chairman of Stellantis & Exor), hopes to change that by backing Italian founders at home and abroad.
➡️Key facts about the fund:
😀 375 investments planned over five years
😀 €150K standardized ticket size, with follow-ons
😀 Selective 2.5% conversion rate from 3,500+ applicants at Italian Tech Week
😀 Investment committee includes top tech veterans like Diego Piacentini & Mike Volpi
📈 Italy’s startup momentum is growing!
Venture capital investment in Italian startups has tripled in the last five years, hitting $5.72B (2020-2024).
Vento CEO Diyala D’Aveni says Italy just needs more success stories to kickstart a full-scale ecosystem boom, much like France.
💬 Is this the turning point for Italy’s startup scene? Let’s discuss!👇

🔛 Flock Safety raises $275M at a $7.5B valuation!
AI-driven surveillance startup Flock Safety has secured $275 million in new funding, pushing its valuation to $7.5 billion. Known for its license plate recognition (ALPR) technology, the company has expanded into gunshot detection systems for schools and public safety drones with its recent Aerodome acquisition.
💰 With $300M in annual recurring revenue (70% YoY growth), Flock continues to attract major investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and Greenoaks, bringing its total funding to $950M.
🔴But not without controversy—organizations like the ACLU warn of mass surveillance risks, and privacy advocates in Norfolk, Virginia, are suing to block Flock’s deployment. The company also faces a wrongful termination lawsuit from a California mayor.
As AI-driven surveillance expands, the debate over security vs. privacy intensifies. Is this the future of public safety, or a step too far❕
