Google and the Renault Group are expanding their four-year-old partnership to include the development of an advanced software platform for future vehicles. This “software-defined vehicle” will be built on Google’s Android Automotive operating system and send data to the company’s cloud servers for processing, the companies announced.

In 2018, Renault struck a deal with Google as part of a broader partnership between the tech giant and the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, which collectively is one of the largest auto groups in the world. As part of the deal, the Alliance announced that it would adopt Google’s native car operating system, which offers built-in Assistant, Maps, and Play Store.

Today’s announcement, though, is just between Google and Renault. As such, it only applies to the French automaker’s four brands, Renault, Dacia, Alpine, and Mobilize. Renault says it is appointing Google as its “preferred cloud provider.” (Other automakers have gone with Amazon Web Services.)

That first deal was just about putting Android in millions of new vehicles. Today’s announcement is a little more complex. Google and Renault say they will work together to create a “Digital Twin,” or a virtual carbon copy of a vehicle that features advanced artificial intelligence capabilities “for an easier and continuous integration of new services into the vehicle and the creation of new onboard ( In-Car Services) and offboard applications,” the companies announced.

New video captured by scientists suggests octopuses aren’t shy about throwing down. First-of-its-kind footage shows the creatures propelling silt and shells through the water.

“Wild octopuses project various kinds of material through the water in jet-propelled ‘throws,’ and these throws sometimes hit other octopuses,” reads a statement from the University of Sydney Peter Godfrey-Smith and colleagues who authored a study published Wednesday in the journal Plos One.

In a full 24 hours of footage recorded off the coast of Australia in 2015 and 2016 using underwater cameras, the researchers cataloged 102 examples of gloomy octopuses (Octopus tetricus) tossing everything from dirt and debris to the octopus equivalent of table scraps around the sea floor .

In one clip, a female octopus can be seen tossing off a shell after chowing down its contents.

“There is some evidence that some of these throws that hit others are targeted, and play a social role,” the authors add.

Somewhat ironically, the octopuses aren’t relying so much on any of their eight arms to make these throws. Instead they gather up the material to be tossed and then propel it through the water using their siphon, which is a tube-like part of their anatomy that can eject water at high speed. So it’s a little bit like an underwater hydraulic slingshot action rather than a throw the way
