From autonomous vehicles to startups.

5) Burberry has reported a decline in revenue despite looking to implement some significant changes in its retail strategy: eliminating discounting, getting sales-staff to focus on high-revenue customers.

7) Stripe, the payment services start up is looking to track eCommerce fraud through machine learning.

8) LeEco is a Chinese consumer electronics brand…and auto manufacturer? (Maybe this is what scared Apple away?) Anyways, they’ve just released their own ‘Tesla killer’ though it didn’t make it on stage.
