Cruise is sharing its data visualization tool with robotics geeks everywhere
Cruise is sharing a software platform with roboticists that was initially created to give its own engineers a better understanding of the petabytes of data generated every month from its fleet of autonomous vehicles. The platform is a data visualization tool called Webviz, a web-based application aimed at anyone working in robotics, a field that includes autonomous vehicles. Researchers, students and engineers can now access the tool and get a visual insight into their data by dragging their robotics data into a ROS bag file.All the data self-driving cars take in from cameras looks like this
Self-driving cars are almost too observant, taking in information from light-emitting LiDAR sensors, radar equipment, microphones, and cameras. But all the information a car gleans from the outside world still has to be wrangled to be useful. Cruise's fleet of self-driving cars testing in San Francisco take in petabytes of data each month from its sensor suite on the road and in simulation, similar to other configurations other self-driving car companies have on autonomous vehicles.All the data self-driving cars take in from cameras looks like this

Salesforce announced it is making progress toward releasing a Customer Data Platform (CDP) this week at Salesforce Connections in Chicago. While the company is talking in greater detail about the platform, they are calling Customer 360, it won’t be available for pilot customers until this Fall. The idea behind the CDP isn’t all that different from good old-fashioned CRM, but instead of using a single source of data in a single database, Salesforce’s bread-and-butter product, it draws upon a variety of sources.Salesforce outlines Customer Data Platform, aims to advance Customer 360 strategy
The CDP effort by Salesforce, which will be piloted in the fall, is seeking to redefine the category known as data management platform, or DMP.Learn how to turn boring data into cool infographics with this $10 course
TL;DR: This engaging online class on the popular data visualization software Tableau usually retails for $199.99, but you can enroll for only $9.99 during this sale. To a certain degree, we're all visual learners: Research has shown that humans are instinctively drawn to things we find aesthetically pleasing because they're easier for our brains to process. That's a very abbreviated version of modern philosophical and psychological notions of beauty, mind you, but you get the gist: If you're able to present information in a way that people find fun to look at, they tend to better understand it.

XPRIZE CEO and Prodea founder Anousheh Ansari dreamt of being an astronaut as a child growing up in Iran, but understandably most people around her were skeptical about her ambitions. Yet in 2006, she made that dream come true when she became the first woman to visit the International Space Station as a privately funded citizen (as well as the first Iranian citizen and the first Muslim woman), traveling aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket as a trained and paying guest of the Russian Space Agency.4 Brilliant Ways To Use Big Data To Boost Gmail Security
Google is taking privacy more seriously these days. Last year, the Washington Post reported that they adopted some new big data security standards. Some of these standards were put into place to improve Gmail security. However, there are still a lot of measures that Gmail users themselves need to take. Big data is making it easier to keep your Gmail secure, but only if you take the right precautions.These Sumptuous Images Give Deep Space Data an Old-World Look
