California DMV Seeking 30-Day Tesla Sale Suspension for Unrealistic 'Autopilot,' 'Full Self-Driving' Claims

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-08 23:23:00

The California Department of Motor Vehicles has brought suit against electric car manufacturer Tesla, alleging false advertising and misleading customers with its "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" features. The DMV is angling for a 30-day suspension of the automaker's license to sell EVs in California for at least 30 days while the courts hash out whether fines or retribution should come next. Tesla is, of course, looking to fight the allegations. What does this mean for you? If the CA DMV's

The special hell of Bolt, Europe's Uber clone

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-09 10:23:40

I was in Latvia a few weeks ago. Riga’s one of the Europeans cities without a good transit link from the airport into city. Snooping around online, I found that the recommended way to get a ride was the use of an app called Bolt, a European clone of Uber. I realize now that I didn’t actually check that Uber wasn’t available in Latvia, but I’m not against experimenting with a new app here and there. I used it twice to get to and from the city center, and it worked perfectly. Neither of my driver

Karandeep Singh / Android Authority A network-attached storage (NAS) is supposed to give you an alternative to cloud storage — one that’s safer, more private, and free from monthly subscriptions. A lot of home users may still consider those strange black boxes nerd territory, but Synology wanted to make the transition easier for Google Drive users. Its own alternative, deceptively named Synology Drive, is made to offer Google Drive-like storage. While it sounds compelling in theory and is genu

The Gottorf Globe was known as an astronomic marvel some 350 years ago.

The virtually authentic replication, now located close to the Museum Island, still doesn’t cease to impress visitors. Casually expressed, Friedrich III wanted to understand the connection between the earth and the sky. Thus, the s

macOS Tahoe: Reports of FireWire’s death not greatly exaggerated

How dead is FireWire support in macOS Tahoe 26? As dead as the iPod, as far as the Mac is concerned, which is at least a little sad. Stephen Hackett checked. In classic 512 Pixels fashion, he’s conjured together a real world demonstration using a battle-tested FireWire 800 cable-connected drive, two Thunderbolt adapters including a Thunderbolt 2 to 3 dongle, and a Mac.

Tyr, a new Rust DRM driver targeting CSF-based ARM Mali GPUs

The last year has seen substantial progress on the DRM infrastructure required to write GPU drivers in Rust. While a great part of it was fueled by the development of Nova (the new driver for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs), and by AGX (the driver for the GPUs on Apple's M-series chip that preceded Nova), a few components were being worked on to cater to a then undisclosed driver that was being prototyped behind the scenes. A driver that we now introduce to the community at large in a very early stage.
