According to a report from Reuters, president-elect Donald Trump's transition team is trying to kill a rule set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that requires automakers to report crashes if advanced driver assistance technology or automated driving systems were in use within 30 seconds of the crash. The NHTSA issued the Standing General Order in 2021, stating that its goal is to gather data that could help it identify potential safety issues. The data has been used in investigations into crashes involving six companies so far, including Tesla and GM's Cruise (which is shutting down its robotaxi program as of this week). Tesla "despises" the reporting requirement and believes the data could be misleading to consumers, Reuters reports, citing sources close to Tesla executives. In a document seen by Reuters, the transition team in charge of making a 100-day strategy for automotive policy reportedly recommended that the incoming administration repeal the requirement, saying it calls for "excessive" data collection.

President-elect Donald Trump wants to create an Iron Dome missile shield over the United States. Can this really be happening without our government's knowledge. Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!!" he wrote Friday on Truth Social. Couldn't agree more, except please don't get your shotgun out of the closet and start rooting around for a box of shells. It's illegal to interfere with any aircraft in flight, manned or unmanned. Maybe its deer season where you live, but alas, it is never drone season. Right now, statutes limit even the military's ability to intercept drones in the U.S. America's got a drone problem. Some drones are legal and no threat to you and me. Some are flown by drug cartels dropping off fentanyl in San Diego. Gen. Greg Guillot, Commander, U.S. Northern Command, told the Senate more than 1,000 drones per month cross the southern border. Other drones belong to the police, or to the military. Don't forget the NYPD has 110 drone operators qualified by the FAA. I also expect some of the drone sightings connect to military experiments and operations. Map showing some of the places where mystery drones have been spotted in Northeastern USA in December 2024. But without question, the U.S. is vulnerable to a national security threat from drones in a way we've never experienced before. While many U.S. military installations have anti-drone systems, the rest of the country doesn't. A new plan for countering drones in U.S. airspace should be top priority for President-elect Trump's incoming Cabinet: Homeland Security, Defense, and Transportation, with the FAA. Find a conference table at Mar-a-Lago and get key Cabinet nominees Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy started now. What worries me is the pattern emerging of sightings of multiple drones, operating at low altitude, with persistent and coordinated overwatch, near military bases and critical infrastructure. Of course, New Jersey has a lot of cool stuff: the aircraft carrier electromagnetic catapult test infrastructure, Picatinny Arsenal, Naval Weapons Site Earle, which stores and loads munitions for the Navy's Atlantic fleet. While the New Jersey sightings date from Nov. 20, drone incidents started years ago. Back in 2017, an Air Force F-22 Raptor stealth fighter encountered a drone over the runway while landing at Langley AFB in Virginia. Yeah, I can see why the Chinese might want a close-up view of the engine intakes and stealth panel seals on that. In California, drones regularly drop inside the fences at the sprawling factories in Palmdale that build top secret military planes like the B-21 stealth bomber. "Some of it, I'm pretty sure, is our adversaries.

New Jersey State Senator John Bramnick joins'Cavuto Live' to discuss his call for a limited state of emergency over unanswered questions about alleged drone sightings. A New Jersey state Senator is calling on Gov. Phil Murphy to declare a state of emergency to ground all drones as a way of getting to the bottom of ongoing reports of unmanned craft swarming the Garden State in recent weeks. State Sen. Jon Bramnick, a Republican, told "Cavuto Live" on Saturday that he also wants the FAA to join in the state of emergency as the public becomes increasingly frustrated with a lack of answers as to what is going on in the skies. Bramnick says he has contacted Murphy about enacting a state of emergency but has not gotten a response. State Sen. Jon Bramnick is calling for a limited state of emergency due to mysterious drone sightings.

Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., gives an update on efforts to find answers regarding the mysterious drone sightings across the Northeast on'Your World.' For nearly a month, Americans in the northeast have spotted what appear to be drones flying through U.S. airspace with no definitive conclusions from the federal government. The White House has responded with some information, but one New Jersey lawmaker is demanding the federal government "wake up" and get to the bottom of the "very threatening situation." "We need to wake up!" Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said Friday on "Your World." "To go about a month of doing nothing, and again, this is why I'm so upset with the Pentagon. To just say again, nothing to see here, puts our people at risk." "We need to identify, identify, identify and then take appropriate action. We can't allow this invasion of drones that we have no idea what their intent is other than -- the presumption should be they're not friendly. If they turn out to be friendly, break out the champagne bottle. More than three weeks after dozens of purported drones began appearing in the New Jersey night sky, the public has still been offered no clear insight on what the phenomenon actually is. The drones were first reported around Nov. 18, and have been spotted every night since, flying from dusk to about 11 p.m. Reports have ranged from four to 180 sightings per night, according to New Jersey Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia, who relayed a briefing given by law enforcement. Residents in states like New Jersey, Connecticut and New York, as well as state and federal lawmakers, are demanding answers. White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said Thursday that a number of the purported drone sightings spotted over New Jersey for the past several weeks appear to be piloted aircraft. "We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat, or have a foreign nexus," Kirby told reporters at the White House press briefing. "The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are investigating these sightings, and they're working closely with state and local law enforcement to provide resources using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin." "Using very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities, we have not been able to, and neither have state or local law enforcement authorities, corroborate any of the reported visual sightings," he said. "To the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully.

DNC National Finance Committee member Lindy Li joins'Fox & Friends Weekend' to weigh in on tech giants contributing to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration fund. DNC National Finance Committee member Lindy Li said the Democratic Party has been weakened by President-elect Donald Trump's victory to the point it has the stench of "loser" on it. "I think, unfortunately, the Democratic Party has the stench of loser written all over the party," Li, a prominent fundraiser for the party, said on "Fox & Friends Weekend." Big Tech leaders like Google CEO Sundar Pichai, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg have all either met with Trump or directly, in the case of Altman, made donations to Trump's inaugural committee after his election victory. DNC National Finance Committee member Lindy Li said that the Democratic Party has been weakened by President-elect Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.

At least nine people have been killed and 20 others injured following a drone strike that hit a hospital in the city of el-Fasher in Sudan's northern Darfur region. The Federal Ministry of Health blamed the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for the attack, which took place on Friday. Officials say the group fired four rocket-propelled grenades towards the city's main healthcare facility. A resistance committee in el-Fasher, involved in relief efforts, said the attack targeted the Saudi hospital, forcing it to suspend medical services. It was the last remaining open hospital in the city.

That was the score Mary Louis was given by an AI-powered tenant screening tool. The software, SafeRent, didn't explain in its 11-page report how the score was calculated or how it weighed various factors. It didn't say what the score actually signified. It just displayed Louis's number and determined it was too low. Louis, who works as a security guard, had applied for an apartment in an eastern Massachusetts suburb.

Former Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland said Friday that he personally witnessed "dozens of large drones" flying above his home on Thursday evening. Former Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland has said that he personally witnessed "dozens of large drones" flying above his home in Davidsonville, Maryland, on Thursday evening as the mystery surrounding the various unexplained sightings continues. "Last night, beginning at around 9:45 pm, I personally witnessed (and videoed) what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland (25 miles from our nation's capital)," Hogan wrote on X Friday. "I observed the activity for approximately 45 minutes." The former governor said he does not know if these drone sightings are evidence of a threat to public safety or national security, but he called out the federal government for a "complete lack of transparency" in the face of Americans' concerns.

On Monday, police arrested 26-year-old Luigi Mangione and charged him in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione's five-day run from authorities ended after he was spotted eating at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 300 miles from Manhattan, where Thompson was gunned down on the morning of December 4. Authorities say they found Mangione carrying fake IDs and a 3D-printed "ghost gun," the model of which is known as the FMDA, or "Free Men Don't Ask." Meanwhile, a flood of mysterious drone sightings across New Jersey and neighboring states caused so much havoc, it quickly gained federal attention. While many people wondered why the US military couldn't just shoot down the drones, the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and independent experts say the drone mystery may not be much of a mystery, and the drones are probably mostly just airplanes. As for more terrestrial threats, we dove into the far-right realm of "Active Clubs," small groups of young, fitness-focused men who are steeped in extremist ideology and linked to several violent attacks. While the man who helped invent the Active Club network, Robert Rundo, was sentenced in federal court this week, Active Clubs around the world are proliferating.

Sound decision-making relies on accurate prediction for tangible outcomes ranging from military conflict to disease outbreaks. To improve crowdsourced forecasting accuracy, we developed SAGE, a hybrid forecasting system that combines human and machine generated forecasts. The system provides a platform where users can interact with machine models and thus anchor their judgments on an objective benchmark. The system also aggregates human and machine forecasts weighting both for propinquity and based on assessed skill while adjusting for overconfidence. We present results from the Hybrid Forecasting Competition (HFC) - larger than comparable forecasting tournaments - including 1085 users forecasting 398 real-world forecasting problems over eight months. Our main result is that the hybrid system generated more accurate forecasts compared to a human-only baseline which had no machine generated predictions. We found that skilled forecasters who had access to machine-generated forecasts outperformed those who only viewed historical data. We also demonstrated the inclusion of machine-generated forecasts in our aggregation algorithms improved performance, both in terms of accuracy and scalability. This suggests that hybrid forecasting systems, which potentially require fewer human resources, can be a viable approach for maintaining a competitive level of accuracy over a larger number of forecasting questions.
