Electric car maker Tesla Inc may have an announcement related to the release date of its first mass-market Model 3 sedan on Sunday. Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said there would be'News on Sunday', in reply to a tweet by Sydney-based Douglas Bailey who asked Musk to end the speculation on the Model 3 release date. Musk had said in May that Tesla was on track to begin production of the Model 3 sedan in July. Musk had said in May that Tesla was on track to begin production of the Model 3 sedan in July, but took to Twitter today to promise'News on Sunday' for the car. The car will be priced at about $35,000.

Fast forward to 2030 and the children who started school in 2017 will need to be just as skilled in critical thinking, creativity and empathy as they are in literacy and numeracy and technology. It is impossible to accurately predict the jobs of the future, says Mark Scott, the secretary of the NSW Department of Education, but schools will need to prepare the next generations of students for a world that will be dominated by intelligent machines. Malcolm Turnbull announces a new 10-year schools funding plan, and a new review by David Gonski. Labor brands the funding plan "an act of political bastardry". It's not as harsh as 2014, but the government is still looking to save billions of dollars in higher education costs in the budget.

"Me and Pedro are probably going to shoot one of the most dangerous videos ever," wrote Monalisa Perez on her Twitter account. Soon after, Ms Perez's boyfriend Pedro Ruiz would be shot dead on video in an apparent attempt to become famous. For the video, Mr Ruiz held up a heavy book to his chest. The two then attempted to see if the book would block a bullet from a Desert Eagle handgun that was fired at it – but the bullet went straight through the book and hit Mr Ruiz, killing him. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

The UK government has been warned of the "serious consequences" that will be suffered if it insists on introducing highly controversial new technology regulations. Theresa May wants to weaken encryption and increase censorship, and is planning to forcing internet companies to let spies and agencies read everyone's private communications. UK government ministers this week discussed surveillance proposals with representatives from the US, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia at a Five Eyes meeting in Ottawa. However, a coalition of privacy advocates has told the government that its plans will have disastrous consequences. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your Automaton bloggers. We'll also be posting a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next two months; here's what we have so far (send us your events!): Let us know if you have suggestions for next week, and enjoy today's videos. I don't speak Dutch so I have no idea what words like "hoppen" or "crashen" mean, and you'll just have to take wild guesses about what's going on in this video. Or autotranslate the captions, that works too.

Volvo have discovered a speed bump during the testing of driverless cars in Australia after kangaroo's threw off the vehicle's animal detection sensors. During a drive in Canberra, Australia, 18-months-ago the company realised the driverless car software struggled to detect kangaroos due to their hopping motion. Driverless cars are designed to detect animals appearing suddenly in front of it using sensors to determine a reference point. Volvo's animal sensor software struggled to pick up the hopping kangaroo But, the technical manager of Vovlo Australia David Picket said kangaroos have been proven to confuse the detection sensors because of the hopping motion, according to the ABC. 'We've noticed with the kangaroo being in mid-flight ... when it's in the air it actually looks like it's further away, then it lands and it looks closer,' the technical manager of Volvo Australia said.

The rise of artificial intelligence in recent years is grounded in the success of deep learning. Three major drivers caused the breakthrough of (deep) neural networks: the availability of huge amounts of training data, powerful computational infrastructure, and advances in academia. Thereby deep learning systems start to outperform not only classical methods, but also human benchmarks in various tasks like image classification or face recognition. This creates the potential for many disruptive new businesses leveraging deep learning to solve real-world problems. At Berlin-based Merantix, we work on these new business cases in various industries (currently automotive, health, financial and advertising).

I've written a few times that perhaps the biggest unsolved problem in robocars is how to know we have made them safe enough. While most people think of that in terms of government certification, the truth is that the teams building the cars are very focused on this, and know more about it than any regulator, but they still don't know enough. The challenge is going to be convincing your board of directors that the car is safe enough to release, for if it is not, it could ruin the company that releases it, at least if it's a big company with a reputation. We don't even have a good definition of what "safe enough" is though most people are roughly taking that as "a safety record superior to the average human." Some think it should be much more, few think it should be less.

Jean-Claude Juncker has revealed that he does not own a smartphone. The president of the European Commission made the admission while speaking about the growing importance of technology. He said he doesn't need to be "a techie" to know that "our future is digital". The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
