Sorry, they're very likely running A/B testing of some sort, as this link was AV1 (Codecs: avc1.64002a (299) / mp4a.40.2 (140)) for me earlier, but no longer: [VIDEO]

Yup I believe they announced this at Google I/O Keynote this year actually -- they mentioned that while it might not be enough with just the audio, looking at mouth gestures can give AI enough to know what might be said by whom. [VIDEO]

@WilliamEdward2018 · in “The Average User Checks Email 5.6 Hours Per Weekday”

It's not really that much easier, but their new AI let's you type certain common responses like "Thank you, I'll look at this" in an instant. They made a presentation about this. [VIDEO]

It may not have been easy to see that another breakthrough is required, but it was very easy to see that most predictions were laughable. The CEO of Waymo announced[1] in May 2018: > Phoenix will be the first stop for Waymo's driverless transportation service, which is launching later this year. Soon, everyone will be able to call Waymo, using our app, and a fully self-driving car will pull up--with no one in the driver's seat-- to whisk them away to their destination. And that's just the beginning! [1] [VIDEO]
