AI could upend food delivery

DoorDash, the leading food delivery app, processed 970 million orders in its second quarter this year and generated $4.5 billion in revenue. A 10-person startup called Bites is a blip in comparison: It has just around 300 restaurants signed up in the Bay Area, where it's operating as a pre-seed startup. But this summer, Bites caught DoorDash's attention. In August, a slew of restaurants in the Bay Area received a strange email from DoorDash, warning businesses that they may be listed without their consent on Bites. The form letter, copies of which were seen by The Verge, said that DoorDash had heard from "several partners" that were adde … Read the full story at The Verge.

At $1,279, Google’s Xreal Aura will go head-to-head with Meta’s VR Glasses

Two weeks ago, journalists in the San Francisco Bay Area got to try two hot new wearables that weigh only around 100 grams: the just-revealed Meta VR Glasses, and the long-awaited transparent Google XR glasses built in partnership with Xreal.

That's for the Xreal Aura with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage; there'll also be a 16GB / 512GB config for $1,499. (Xreal couldn't tell us whether the 16GB of RAM would be important for some apps by publish time.) Both the Google / Xreal Aura and Meta's VR Glasses let … Read the full story at The Verge.
