Tesla changes meaning of 'Full Self-Driving', gives up on promise of autonomy

news.ycombinator.com Fred Lambert 2025-10-14 07:23:55

Tesla has changed the meaning of “Full Self-Driving”, also known as “FSD”, to give up on its original promise of delivering unsupervised autonomy. Since 2016, Tesla has claimed that all its vehicles in production would be capable of achieving unsupervised self-driving capability. CEO Elon Musk has claimed that it would happen by the end of every year since 2018. Tesla has even sold a software package, known as “Full Self-Driving Capability” (FSD), for up to $15,000 to customers, promising tha

The Biden-Era Plan to Pay Travelers for Airline-Caused Delays Is Dead

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-14 10:39:00

For a brief moment, it looked like US travelers might finally get automatic cash when an airline's own problems wrecked their plans. The Department of Transportation, under former President Joe Biden, drafted a rule requiring carriers to pay passengers at least $200 and up to $775 for the longest holdups. The compensation would cover meals, hotels, ground transport and rebooking when disruptions were within the airline's control. But no longer. On Sept. 5, the Trump administration's DOT offici

Tesla Proposes a Trillion-Dollar Bet That It's More Than Just Cars

wired.com Aarian Marshall 2025-10-14 11:26:44

For a while now, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has seemed awfully distracted. His past few years in non-Tesla activities include: buying and renaming Twitter; going all in on President Donald Trump’s election campaign and then an obscure Wisconsin Supreme Court race; a lot of babymaking, plus attendant drama; and months spent standing up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Meanwhile, Tesla sales have slid as the electric-car maker faces fierce competition from Chinese manufacturers and rej

Lenovo isn’t shy about trying new things. Last year, the PC maker teased a concept laptop with a transparent screen. Earlier this year, the ThinkBook Flip concept employed a flexible OLED display that folded over the top of the laptop lid, ready to flip up whenever you needed the extra screen space. At CES 2025, we saw a ThinkBook with a rollable OLED screen that expanded upward automatically at the touch of a button—this one is a real product you can actually buy. Get ready for another whacky

Elon Musk's New Optimus Robot Demo Is So Painful It Will Make You Wince

Hot off of proudly announcing that he had replaced 4,000 people with AI at his company, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff posted a video of Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, calling it a "productivity game-changer." However, going by the 52-second clip, the carmaker has a long way to go until it can successfully have AI-powered bipedal robots replace human jobs.
