We're not sure whether to cheer or yawn at the news emerging from Vimeo today.

The more-professional-than-YouTube video sharing site (finally!) released an iPhone app — its first one ever, only about an epoch behind YouTube.

For those inclined to express boredom, stifle it.

You ought to know that Vimeo's app isn't just a sad excuse for what YouTube is already doing exponentially well. In fact, we'd posit a guess that it's going to turn the world of video editing apps upside down.

First of all, it's free — like, at no cost to you. Keep this in mind while we regale you with tales of how this app can shoot and edit video, the app's ability to pick up editing where a weak data connection cut you off, and sharing via every social network known to man.

The only other app that we know of with the same capabilities on the go is Apple's proprietary iMovie, for which you'll need to drop a cool $4.99.

But oh yeah, did we happen to mention that Vimeo's app is $0.00?

Mobile enthusiasts, do you feel like cheering or yawning now? Because if we weren't mistaken, we thought we saw a fist pump from your iPhone-outstretched arm.

The six month program is available is more than 90 Houston-area ZIP codes.

A California company with autonomous cabs has announced a new pilot program in partnership with a provider of wheelchairs and mobility solutions.

Cruise has teamed up with Numotion for a six-month wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) pilot program in Houston, offering free transportation for qualifying Numotion customers, according to the companies. The program will operate in over 90 Houston-area ZIP codes.

“Numotion is excited to partner with Cruise to offer a seamless and convenient solution for wheelchair users in the Houston area. By providing transportation to and from repair appointments, we're alleviating a significant stressor and providing a way for our customers to receive their service and repair faster,” says Mike Swinford, CEO of Numotion, in a news release. “We're constantly striving to innovate and improve the lives of our customers, and this collaboration demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing beneficial customer experiences."

Cruise entered the Texas market last year, with Houston services launching in October 2023 before the company put all operations on pause following a California crash. This is the first Texas announcement for Cruise since the pause.

"Accessibility is core to our mission at Cruise. This pilot program with Numotion is doing more than providing accessible rides – it’s about empowering people in the community with greater mobility and independence, while also building learnings to better our service in the future," says Craig Glidden, president and chief administrative officer at Cruise about the new pilot.
