Elon Musk’s Trillion-Dollar Robotaxi Gamble Is Here

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-04-05 23:37:29

The wait is finally over. After years of promises from its eccentric CEO, Tesla debuted its highly anticipated robotaxi service on June 22 in Austin, Texas, a launch that is central to the company’s entire future. This isn’t just about a new feature; it’s the cornerstone of Elon Musk’s narrative that Tesla is not merely a car company but a world-changing AI and robotics powerhouse. As the automaker faces fierce competition from Chinese rivals like BYD, the success or failure of its autonomous v

Tesla launches robotaxi rides in Austin with big promises and unanswered questions

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2026-04-05 21:58:02

Tesla has started giving rides in driverless Model Y SUVs in Austin, a decade after CEO Elon Musk began making — and breaking — myriad promises about his company’s ability to launch such a service. The rollout will become the first big test of Musk’s belief that it’s possible to safely deploy fully autonomous vehicles using just cameras and end-to-end AI – an approach that differs from other players in the space like Waymo. On Sunday, numerous videos shared on social media as well as sources i

The $14 Billion AI Google Killer

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-04-05 21:25:16

A new AI darling is making waves in Silicon Valley. It’s called Perplexity, and according to reports, both Meta and Apple have quietly explored acquiring it. Valued at a staggering $14 billion following a May funding round, the startup is being hailed as a revolutionary threat to Google Search’s search dominance. But here’s the thing: it mostly just summarizes web results and sends you links. So why the frenzy? Perplexity billed itself an “answer engine.” You ask a question, and it uses large

How to Clean Hearing Aids

wired.com Christopher Null 2026-04-05 21:00:00

You can also use this tool to gently brush the tip of the dome of each eartip, where wax is most likely to accumulate. If any tenacious wax is stuck to the tip of the dome, try using the wire loop on the reverse of the brush to gently scoop it out. Next, check the back of the receiver, where the wire attaches to it, and brush this area as well. You can use a microfiber cloth to remove any material that is dislodged during this step. Some very old hearing aids have a long vent that runs through

Google Pixel 10a wishlist: These are the 5 upgrades I want to see

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Over the last few years, we’ve gotten used to a pretty reliable formula for Pixel launches. Every fall, Google rolls out its flagships, followed by the mid-range Pixel A launch a few months later in the spring. Usually, that mid-ranger takes most of its cues (and all of its internals) from the flagships, giving us a great chance to recommend the full Pixel experience without the full Pixel price. This year, though, the Pixel 9a tried something new. It picked up

Xbox has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a chunky console. It's recently taken on the form of an Asus gaming handheld, and it might even be packaged as a VR headset soon.

How does a phone with a crazy external lens compare to the S23 Ultra’s zoom camera?

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The vivo X200 Ultra is a great camera phone in its own right (if you’re willing to import it), in no small part due to its impressive 200MP 3.7x periscope camera. However, the company switches things up by offering an optional external lens for even better zoom. The X200 Ultra’s 2.35x telephoto converter lens effectively turns the phone’s 200MP periscope camera into an ~8.6x shooter.

Methane Pollution Has Cheap, Effective Solutions That Aren’t Being Used

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Odorless and colorless, methane is a gas that is easy to miss—but it’s one of the most important contributors to global warming. It can trap up to 84 times as much heat as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, though it breaks down much faster. Measured over 100 years, its warming effect is about 30 times that of an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide. That means that over the course of decades, it takes smaller a

1. Introduction If you’ve taken an algorithms class, you have likely seen dynamic programming, specifically a technique called memoization. Memoization works to optimize recursive algorithms by caching the solutions to subproblems in a table, and when a subproblem is encountered, it queries the table instead of recomputing the solution. This gives us an exponential performance boost. This blog post will show how to solve a dynamic programming problem using memoization in Lean, and verify its c
