Tesla’s robotaxi reality check

theverge.com David Pierce 2026-03-11 17:11:55

After years of grand promises about how robotaxis would change the way we buy and use our cars, Tesla finally launched its taxi service. In one small portion of one city. With only a few cars and a few riders. Plus safety monitors in the passenger seat. Caution is a good thing in this industry, but what does all this say about where Tesla’s self-driving efforts really stand? After that, The Verge’s Allison Johnson joins the show to dive deep on MVNOs. In the United States, the cell market is co

What a set of knockoff headphones taught me about headphones — and knockoffs

theverge.com David Pierce 2026-03-11 17:57:38

As a rule, you should never believe anything you see on social media. And you should really never believe anything someone says in a video with a TikTok Shop link, because they are nakedly trying to sell you something. From candy to headphones to supplements to power tools, TikTok has built a remarkable system: creators post videos promoting or reviewing products, TikTok blasts them onto For You pages everywhere, and when viewers click the link and buy the product, both the creators and TikTok g

How a data processing problem at Lyft became the basis for Eventual

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2026-03-11 17:00:00

When Eventual founders Sammy Sidhu and Jay Chia were working as software engineers at Lyft’s autonomous vehicle program, they witnessed a brewing data infrastructure problem — and one that would only become larger with the rise of AI. Self-driving cars produce a ton of unstructured data from 3D scans and photos to text and audio. There wasn’t a tool for Lyft engineers that could understand and process all of those different types of data at the same time — and all in one place. This left engine

Robots are transforming warehouse automation and ending back-breaking truck loading

The big picture: As the warehouse floor becomes increasingly automated, robots now handle the most punishing aspects of logistics, while people focus on oversight, problem-solving, and continuous improvement. With companies like DHL, FedEx, UPS, and Walmart investing heavily in robotics, the era of the backbreaking warehouse job may soon be history. The last stronghold of human labor in warehouses – the grueling job of loading and unloading trucks – is rapidly giving way to a new generation of

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.

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. But it turns out there is a less carbon-intensive alternative: using hydrogen. Unlike coal or natural gas, which release carbon dioxide as a by-product, this process releases water. And if the hydrogen itself is “green,” the climate impact of the entire process will

Spotify’s much hated ‘Create’ button could soon go away, if you want it to (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify introduced a “Create” button in its app’s bottom navigation, but the move sparked widespread user backlash. Code within the latest app release suggests the company is listening to user feedback, as it could soon give users an option to hide the Create button.

UK proposes greater regulation for Google's search practices

The UK might introduce new regulations for Google. The country's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has proposed designating the company's search services with "strategic market status" (SMS). In doing so, the regulatory body could direct Google to create fairer business rankings on search, for instance.

A popular meme in the world of PL’s is that “Haskell has monads”, with the implication that this is a distinctive feature of the language, separate from all others. While it is true that Haskell has popularized the use of monads as a program structuring device, the idea of a monad is not so much an issue of language design (apart from the ad hoc syntactic support provided by Haskell), but rather one of library design.
