Cybertruck FSD attempt causes Tesla fans to attack each other
Driver calls FSD 'fatal flaw' and sparks civil war between Tesla tech supporters and critics January 17, 2025 15:31 A Cybertruck driver claims they nearly had a serious crash while using fully autonomous driving. After narrowly avoiding a dangerous collision, the owner says Tesla's FSD has a "fatal flaw." Defenders of Tesla's FSD began arguing with other owners over the controversial situation. Semi-autonomous driving technology has become one of the hottest and most controversial topics in the automotive world. Perhaps no technology has divided opinion as much as Tesla's poorly named Full Self-Driving (Supervised). One Cybertruck owner recently discovered how divisive the technology can be after sharing an FSD video, allegedly putting them in dangerous situations. A truck-mounted video posted by user "igs" on the CybertruckOwnersClub shows the driver's side of the vehicle as it enters West Sahara Boulevard from Interstate 15 in Las Vegas. The intersection has yield signs for drivers to use when merging onto the street. For…
Off the grid, losing your mind: Finding sanity in one person’s world
Listen to audio If there's one thing I've learned in all my years of booking and representing speakers, it's that there's always someone who needs something. always. I also learned a lot about healthy boundaries (and how bad I am at setting them). As motherhood piles up, you're faced with a tsunami of overwhelm. Last year, my special gift for borderless living took hold of me, and I found myself booking two nights in a small house in East Texas in early January. Or, as my husband likes to call it, “a fish tank in a cow pasture”—a nod to its lack of curtains, for reasons beyond me. I packed my record player, yoga mat, craft supplies, and one of my dogs, threw my phone in the glove box, and headed off for my first annual off-grid weekend. No TV, no Wi-Fi, no one - especially no one who needs anything. That is, except for me. I quickly realized that…

FBI closes Cruise investigation after GM cancels Robotaxi
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is aware of five crashes involving Cruise vehicles and pedestrians. In October, the agency fined the robotaxi developer $1.5 million. Cruise has since ceased operations and been folded into General Motors' self-driving unit. It's been a month since General Motors canceled Cruise, its self-driving arm that had been developing robotaxis for years with the goal of revolutionizing the way we travel. GM has poured more than $10 billion into Cruise over the past eight years, but in its final year the company was hit hard by safety investigations, recalls and fines. Now, with the company effectively dead and folded into General Motors' self-driving unit, one of those investigations has concluded. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106 -c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f"); The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) launched an investigation into Cruise in October 2023, just two weeks after one of the company's…

First batch of Cybertruck discounts up to $3,830
Clearly, the days of high insurance premiums for electric trucks are long gone go through Brad Anderson January 17, 2025 09:00 Discounts on used and demo Cybertrucks range from 2% to 4.4%. With discounts like these, there's no need to buy the Cybertruck at MSRP. The cheapest Cybertruck demo we found costs $77,360 and has a range of just 961 miles. Before Tesla Cybertruck deliveries began, crowdsourced data showed the automaker had secured more than 2 million pre-orders for the innovative electric vehicle. However, reports indicate that only 30,000 of those pre-orders converted into sales, and by October last year Tesla had filled all of those pre-orders and started selling the Cybertruck to the wider public, with delivery almost immediately. Now, Tesla is selling the Cybertruck at a discount, a sign that demand is starting to slow. A look at Tesla's inventory revealed that the company has approximately 759 Cybertrucks in inventory across the United States. Of these, 148 are…

Companies like WiseStella are leveraging AI to streamline compliance, reduce cognitive stress on seafarers, and improve safety standards across global fleets.
