Tesla Found Partly Liable in 2019 Autopilot Death

news.ycombinator.com Aarian Marshall 2025-12-25 02:16:15

A Miami jury found Tesla partially liable Friday in a 2019 crash that killed one person and injured another—all while the driver of the Model S used the automaker’s Autopilot driver assistance feature. The jury found Tesla liable for $200 million in punitive damages, plus an additional $43 million in compensatory damages. (Because of state laws, the company will likely end up paying less.) A jury found the automaker one-third responsible for the crash; it found the driver of the Tesla, who sett

Gear News of the Week: Insta360 Debuts a Drone Company, and DJI Surprises With an 8K 360 Camera

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-12-25 00:30:00

The 360 camera company Insta360 has entered the drone market with a spin-off brand called Antigravity. This new company hasn't released a drone yet, but it's coming soon and will likely have a slightly different take from current market leaders like DJI. Antigravity's drone is expected to feature 360 cameras with 8K resolution. It will also fall under the 250-gram weight limit, meaning it won't require a license.

Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery

news.ycombinator.com Michelle Lewis 2025-12-25 04:35:56

Peak Energy shipped out its first sodium-ion battery energy storage system, and the New York-based company says it’s achieved a first in three ways: the US’s first grid-scale sodium-ion battery storage system; the largest sodium-ion phosphate pyrophosphate (NFPP) battery system in the world; and the first megawatt-hour scale battery to run entirely on passive cooling – no fans, pumps, or vents. That’s significant because removing moving parts and ditching active cooling systems eliminates fire

The transmission of these messages is mandatory for aircraft, as it prevents mid-air accidents. They are also unencrypted, which means anyone can listen to them.

Unreal Engine ray tracing stuttering in AMD RDNA 4 GPUs linked to Nvidia-optimized game code

What just happened? Ray tracing was supposed to be faster and smoother on AMD's latest GPUs, yet some demanding games still struggle.
