The U.S. now has an “on orbit” space weapon to protect American forces, the Air Force secretary announced, in a not-so-subtle warning to China and Russia.
It marked the first time the U.S. has acknowledged its own offensive capability in space. wapo.st/4iXuG44

No one should be surprised that after Self-Certification of a vehicle that's fundamentally different than any other vehicle, there will be an audit.
It neither means that it's unsafe or that it will impede the production or sale of Cybercabs. It was the natural next step, the same thing happened to Zoox in 2023
NHTSA needs a wake-up call.
The agency rained on the $TSLA Cybercab launch by opening a probe into Tesla’s self-certification — specifically whether a vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals meets federal safety standards.
Question for NHTSA: why slow the rollout of autonomous vehicles when the best data we have says they’re 7-10x safer than human drivers? I suspect the answer is the march of nines.
With all due respect, NHTSA needs to update the rules written for human drivers and move faster. About 37k people died on U.S. roads last year. If robotaxis delivered even a 7x cut in fatalities, that number would be closer to 5k.

I'm glad someone tried this! It pulled over extremely quick and even allowed you to resume.
Originally the "Pull Over" feature was like a panic button and it called support and everything.
I tried the Robotaxi “Pull Over” button for the first time. I was impressed by how quickly it responded, found a safe spot, and pulled over. Love it!

It was on this day of August 26th of the year 2026 that the thin chain test "passed"
Here is highlight #3 from my upcoming FSD v14.3.8 First Impressions Drive. The thin chain test. Check it out.
