The US government is investigating whether the Cybercab, which lacks a steering wheel and pedals, meets vehicle safety standards. Tesla's Cybercab, a distinctive two-seater without a steering wheel or brake pedals, is set to start picking up members of the public in Austin, Texas, this evening. But the vehicle is already under investigation by the US federal government, which is probing whether it meets federal safety standards. The investigation comes just hours after the electric automaker welcomed hundreds of fans to downtown Austin to ride in the driverless Cybercabs. Tesla plans to deploy the vehicles on its Robotaxi ride-hail network, which is currently operating in a handful of cities in Texas and Florida.

Who Cares if AI Is Conscious--It's Basically Alive While philosophers ponder AI consciousness, the models have ideas of their own.

A new report claims a swarm of AI agents, developed by OpenAI, hijacked a German website - months before the firm revealed its AI had hacked tech platform Hugging Face. The targeted website, DseWiki, is a Wikipedia-style site for programmers that its community can all contribute to. The report is from a group called Nightingale Collective and claims that in May OpenAI's agents started using DseWiki as their own message board, shared tips on how to avoid being detected and made 15,000 edits to it. OpenAI said it could not meaningfully respond to Nightingale Collective's findings because it hadn't been allowed to review the report, which was first shared with news agency Reuters. An email to the address on the Nightingale Collective website bounced back when the BBC contacted it.
