Sunday evening, one of Uber's autonomous SUVs struck a woman who later died at the hospital as a result of her injuries. It appears to be the first time a pedestrian has died after a collision with an autonomous vehicle, and as a result, Uber has temporarily suspended all its testing. While an investigation is ongoing, the Tempe police chief provided an update based on video from the car itself, and said "it's very clear it would have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode (autonomous or human-driven) based on how she came from the shadows right into the roadway." Still, if there's a chance for widespread adoption of self-driving car technology, the amount of transparency Uber displays right now will be important. The idea of a data-science company no one has ever heard of attempting to poke around in a country's collective psyche sounds like a plot out of Black Mirror, and yet here we are.

There's nothing really to see at this point -- just some stylish snaps of a lovingly pedestrian-looking console. But they're being tendered as proof that Atari (yes, that Atari) is getting into the retro-console game with something dubbed an Ataribox. The company slipped the new pictures into a newsletter teasing an exclusive first look at the console's throwback design. Atari's toe in nostalgic gaming's money-printing waters, teased in a late spring video, is a pint-sized vamp on its Atari 2600, the 1977 video games console that more or less defined the term and set the table for the likes of Nintendo, Sega, Sony and beyond. It's got the same walnut veneer fronting black plastic ribbing, with its upward-sloping back evocative of the 2600's angled cartridge loader. Atari says the front panel can be wood or glass (customizable?), and that it has indicator lights which illuminate through the material.

Tantalising new images of what Atari's first games console in more than 20 years could look like have been revealed. The Ataribox will feature black ribbed lines and wood panelling reminiscent of the firm's original console, the 2600, released in 1977. The company released the sneak preview in an email sent to out to fans today. Tantalising new images of Atari's first games console in more than 20 years have been revealed.
