The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is also investigating the crash. Michael Butler, the driver of a Tesla Model 3 that fatally struck a woman in her Texas home, manually overrode the car's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system by pressing the accelerator pedal to 100 percent, according to a preliminary investigation from the National Transportation Safety Board. While local authorities initially reported that the Tesla's automated driving assistance system was engaged when Butler crashed into Martha Avila's home in June, the investigation says otherwise. According to the NTSB, the acceleration disabled the FSD system and the vehicle's speed was ultimately greater than 70 mph when the crash occurred. The investigation's preliminary findings match what Tesla AI head Ashok Elluswamy shared on X in June .

Children under 16 will be banned from buying high-caffeine energy drinks in England from April, the government has said. Drinks containing more than 150mg of caffeine per litre will be illegal to sell to children and younger teenagers in shops, restaurants, cafes, vending machines and online. Lower-caffeine soft drinks, such Diet Coke, are not affected and neither are tea and coffee. However, drinks including Red Bull, Monster, Relentless and Prime would all breach the limit. The new rules aim to reduce obesity levels in children and prevent issues such as disrupted sleep, increased anxiety and lack of concentration, as well as poor school results.

A White House teleprompter operator is being investigated over allegedly using inside information to place bets and make nearly $100,000 on US President Donald Trump's speeches. Gabriel Perez, who had worked at the White House since 2016, is accused of placing bets on words the president would use during major public addresses, including the State of the Union speech. The trades were made on Kalshi, a prediction markets platform where users can bet on real-world events. The firm confirmed it reported the activity to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which regulates the platform. Kalshi froze Perez's account before any profits could be withdrawn, according to reports.

Here's Why Anthropic Is Pushing States to Regulate AI Faster The company endorsed landmark AI transparency laws in California and New York last year, but its head of US state and local policy says they may already be outdated. Anthropic threw its support behind the first wave of frontier AI safety laws in the United States last year, securing new transparency requirements in California and New York that much of Silicon Valley fought against, arguing they would stifle the AI boom . But Anthropic says those laws may already be outdated, and the company is now pushing states to adopt even tougher regulations. "The transparency-focused safety bills of 2025 were a really important start, but as the capabilities of AI systems continue to advance quickly--the policy responses need to match," Cesar Fernandez, Anthropic's head of US state and local government relations, told WIRED in an interview. "We think that transparency and self reporting are no longer sufficient safety measures for the most powerful AI systems."
