A 40-year-old man from Orlando is dead after a fatal crash on north Hiawassee Road and Burroughs Drive at approximately 7:05 p.m in Orange County on Saturday, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

A 42-year-old woman was traveling westbound in a 2019 Toyota Highlander on Burroughs Drive, approaching the intersection of north Hiawassee Road, FHP said. The man was driving a 2024 KTM 690 SMC Motorcycle and was traveling northbound on north Hiawassee Road, approaching Burroughs Drive in the outside lane.

FHP said the woman attempted to make a left turn and entered the direct path of the motorcycle. As a result, the front of the motorcycle struck the left side of the Toyota.

The man was pronounced dead on-scene, FHP said. The woman was not injured and remained on-scene.

This crash remains under investigation.

What happens if you shoot down a delivery drone?
As deep-pocketed companies like Amazon, Google and Walmart invest in and experiment with drone delivery, a phenomenon reflective of this modern era has emerged. Drones, carrying snacks and other sundries, are being shot out of the sky. In the Florida case, Walmart was conducting delivery demonstrations in Clermont, Florida — roughly 25 miles west of Orlando — when a loud sound was heard during the craft’s descent.

CIOs' concerns over generative AI echo those of the early days of cloud computing
When I attended the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium in May, it struck me that as I listened to CIOs talking about the latest technology — in this case generative AI — I was reminded of another time at the same symposium in around 2010 when the talk was all about the cloud. It was notable how similar the concerns over AI were to the ones that I heard about the fledgling cloud all those years ago: Companies were concerned about governance (check), security (check) and responsible use of a new technology (check). Today, CIOs recognize if they just say no to generative AI, employees are probably going to find a way to use these tools anyway.
