Tesla's Door Handles Lead to Its Biggest Recall Yet A Chinese agency says the two recalls affecting some 3 million vehicles can mostly be fixed by over-the-air updates--but they will also require physical warning stickers and camera-related updates. Government regulators have spent the last year asking serious questions about Tesla's electronic, retractable door handles, a cool-looking automotive design flourish that has since been imitated by plenty of competitors. The handles have been blamed, in the US and in China, for making it difficult for passengers to quickly exit vehicles, and for impeding rescue efforts. A handful of crash victims' families have even filed lawsuits against Tesla, alleging the door handle designs played roles in their loved ones' deaths. Now the door handles have led to Tesla's largest recall ever--and China's.

You'll start seeing a lot more taxis in Las Vegas with no human driver behind the wheel over the coming year. The Nevada Transportation Authority has approved Tesla's, Waymo's and Uber's applications for an Autonomous Vehicle Network Company permit, which gives them the authority to offer paid rides in Clark County, including Las Vegas. Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt has reported that Nevada officials gave Tesla permission to deploy up to 5,000 robotaxis over the next 12 months after their August 20th meeting. The company's permit reportedly allows it to operate across the entire state, provided it notifies the agency that it's expanding its coverage. According to the Q&A with Tesla during the session, the company is working with law enforcement to shoot a five-minute step-by-step video first responders can follow for emergencies involving its autonomous vehicles.

Tesla appears to have finally allowed its Robotaxi fleet in Austin to go full driverless, according to a report by The Verge. It looks like all vehicles in the city are operating autonomously. This is many months after Elon Musk announced that they had begun operating without human safety monitors onboard. He also said that the entire fleet would remove safety drivers by, well, the end of 2025. This news isn't coming from Musk or anyone from Tesla, which gives it more credence.

Generative AI-powered market models can help enterprises automate commercial decisions. Each day, an airline transports tens of thousands of passengers on hundreds of flights. Often these are not straightforward point-to-point routes, with passengers requiring multiple connections. The airline can consider potentially hundreds of variables to price each of these journeys: demand, season, time of day, current events, global markets, and competitor airline activity to name just a few. It is a nuanced process that must constantly adapt to the goings on in the wider world. Generative AI-powered market models are emerging as a means of handling complex tasks like this in real time.

Waymo announced today that any riders can now be passengers in its Ojai model vehicles in Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco. In a social media post, the company highlighted the spaciousness and backseat entertainment features in the driverless vans. The Google-owned brand began offering limited pickups with this purpose-built robotaxi in the same three cities earlier this year. This is the second Waymo expansion announced in the past week. Just days ago, the company said it had been granted permission to bring its driverless cars to the roads in Sacramento and San Diego.

Are You Sure You Want a Car With a Giant Touch Screen? The AI boom is making phones and laptops more expensive. New drivers may never have to learn how to parallel park. Many new cars--a Ford Mustang Mach-E, a BMW sedan, a Tesla Cybertruck--will just maneuver into a spot for you with a click of a button. Even a decade-old Toyota Corolla has a backup camera and pedestrian detection.

You could soon get your Uber Eats order delivered by a Zipline drone thanks to the latest partnership between the two companies. As detailed in an Uber press release, the company is targeting a goal of one million drone deliveries each day by end of 2029. The partnering companies also announced that the first deployments are scheduled for later this year, with drone deliveries first becoming available in Zipline's existing US markets, including Pea Ridge, Ark. and the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, before expanding to dozens of more cities. On top of the combination of Uber's network and Zipline's drone fleet, Uber made a strategic investment into Zipline but didn't disclose the financial details. Before this partnership, Zipline teamed up with Walmart and Chipotle to make food and retail deliveries.

Air India pilot's reported cannabis test: What it can and can't tell investigators Reports that an Air India pilot tested positive for cannabis after a flight sound like the sort of finding that should make an aviation investigator sit up. But the reported result has not been officially confirmed, and even a confirmed positive would not necessarily be the smoking gun it might appear to be. On 4 August, an Air India Airbus A320 flying from Phuket to Delhi suddenly lost about 91m (300ft) of altitude, injuring 13 passengers and four crew members. The aircraft, carrying 137 passengers and eight crew, landed safely in Delhi. The incident is under investigation.
