Tesla Robotaxi Terrifyingly Jerks Wheel Back and Forth While Carrying Passenger

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-03 15:08:45

Tesla's Robotaxi service is finally, actually here. And for the most part, the launch, which took place this weekend, has been pretty uneventful. A spate of Tesla "influencers" have already uploaded videos of their first rides depicting the driverless cabs — though not supervisor-less, as each one comes with a human "safety monitor" silently riding shotgun — roaming the streets of Austin, Texas. Nothing to write home about. Except for at least one genuinely bizarre incident. In a video uploaded

The Download: Namibia’s hydrogen hopes, and fixing AI evaluation

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-09-04 09:10:00

Factories have used fossil fuels to process iron ore for three centuries, and the climate has paid a heavy price: According to the International Energy Agency, the steel industry today accounts for 8% of carbon dioxide emissions.

And if the hydrogen itself is “green,” the climate impact of the entire process will

Trump's Attack May Instead Spur Iran to Speedrun a Nuclear Weapon It Wasn't Building Previously

Trump's Attack May Instead Spur Iran to Speedrun a Nuclear Weapon It Wasn't Building Previously An extremely ironic outcome. Bomb Squad President Donald Trump is trying to derail Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions by bombing its known nuclear research facilities — but it turns out that's easier said than done.
