engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-17 02:36:12

A jury in Florida has found Tesla partially liable for a 2019 crash involving the company's Autopilot self-driving feature, The Washington Post reports. As a result, the company will have to pay $200 million in damages. Autopilot comes pre-installed on Tesla's cars and handles things like collision detection and emergency braking. Tesla has mostly avoided taking responsibility for crashes involving cars with the Autopilot enabled, but the Florida case played out differently. The jury ultimately

—Will Douglas Heaven For the past couple of years, OpenAI has felt like a one-man brand. With his showbiz style and fundraising glitz, CEO Sam Altman overshadows all other big names on the firm’s roster. But Altman is not the one building the technology on which its reputation rests.

Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work

wired.com Molly Taft 2025-12-22 11:31:16

A new report released yesterday by the Department of Energy purports to provide “a critical assessment of the conventional narrative on climate change.” But nine scientists across several different disciplines told WIRED that the report mishandled citations of their work: by cherrypicking data, misrepresenting findings, drawing erroneous conclusions, or leaving out relevant context.

Bottom line: Scammers have been using social media for years to promote their schemes, and the latest one – an unbelievable deal on a lifetime Starlink subscription – is no different. While there are legitimate Starlink discounts that can help users save a few bucks, this offer is certainly not one of them.

An EPA rule change threatens to gut US climate regulations

The proposed rule will go up for public comment, and the agency will then take that feedback and come up with a final version. It’ll almost certainly get hit with legal challenges and will likely wind up in front of the Supreme Court. One note here is that the EPA makes a mostly legal argument in the proposed rule reversal rather than focusing on going after the science of climate change, says Madison Condon, an associate law professor at Boston University.

Rare earths are China’s bargaining chip in the trade war — the U.S. is trying to fix that

Rare earths refer to 17 elements on the periodic table whose atomic structure gives them special magnetic properties. They're also the most important bargaining chip in the U.S. and China trade war. That's because these rare earth magnets power everything from electric vehicles and wind turbines to defense equipment, data centers and high-tech consumer electronics.

Olivine is a rather unassuming rock. Olive brown to yellow green in color, this hard yet brittle mineral is thought to be the most abundant in Earth’s upper mantle. Chemically, olivine is magnesium iron silicate, though it contains other elements too. Economically, it’s close to worthless. Its limited industrial utility stretches to gemstones, metalworking, ceramics, and occasionally, as a gravel for road construction.
