engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-17 03:38:05

Tesla's robotaxi service may have had some early hitches, but the company said it just successfully delivered a car autonomously. Using the same robotaxi technology, Tesla showed the delivery process of a Model Y from its Gigafactory Texas in Austin to a customer with a roughly 30-minute journey as seen in a video posted on X. Unlike the robotaxi service launch last week, the automated delivery had no safety monitor, nor anyone behind the wheel. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, also posted on X that the

However much you have to deposit, a CD can help you grow your money reliably. Mensent Photography/Getty Images If you have some cash you can set aside for a while, a certificate of deposit can be a great way to grow it. Since your rate is locked in when you open a CD, your earnings will never change, even if rates drop after that.

Twenty-seven previously unheard works by Erik Satie, from playful cabaret songs to minimalist nocturnes, are to be premiered a century after the death of the notoriously eccentric and innovative French composer. Painstakingly pieced together from hundreds of small notebooks, most of the new works are thought to have been written in the bohemian bistros of Montmartre in Paris where Satie worked as a pianist in the early decades of the 20th century.

10 Years of Pomological Watercolors

10 years of pomological watercolors A decade ago today I published a blog post calling for the US government to release its paintings of fruits. The Pomological Watercolor Collection, as I had recently come to know, is a beautiful and remarkable corpus of over 7,000 pictures of fruits and other biological specimens, made between the 1880s and 1940s. Through a handful of FOIA requests I’d learned that the images had been meticulously digitized and put online for purchase, but that less than 100

Anthros Chair V2 Review: Surprisingly Great

It's rare for me to keep sitting on a chair I'm reviewing well after I've given it enough testing time. Usually, I want to hop back on my Herman Miller Embody, which feels just right for my body. But the Anthros V2 has been a pleasant surprise. It's been on my radar for several months, thanks to endless Instagram marketing reels, but honestly, those just made me even more skeptical.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has said that the platform is being spammed by AI bots, and is now in “an arms race” to detect and block these fake posts.

Researchers Pit Stone Age Seafaring Skills Against One of Earth’s Fiercest Currents

Archaeologists estimate that humans first arrived on the Ryukyu Islands off the southwestern coast of Japan sometime between 35,000 and 27,500 years ago. How they did so, however, remains a mystery, especially since they would have had to cross one of the planet’s strongest ocean currents. To address this enduring question, scientists decided to attempt the Paleolithic voyage themselves.
