As the world grows older, issues surrounding elderly care abound: who's taking care of our elderly relatives, are they doing it well, and how do we keep track of well-being and safety in a sensitive way? Israeli startup Sensi.AI thinks it may have the solution with a smart, AI-powered auditory system that monitors a person's daily routine, environment and well-being, which it claims can provide better caregiver retention and quality-of-care assurance– not only for the elderly, but also for babies, special-needs kids and others. "The idea for it came out of my own personal place, to do with my daughter," says Sensi.AI CEO Romi Gubes. "I understood this whole world of caregiving for the helpless, and how much the element of transparency is lacking in order to prevent future problems." This lack of transparency, she explains, is the result of the often-silent population that requires caregiving and can lead to blind spots in the treatment process that inhibit improvement.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is reportedly investigating Tesla Motor Co. for possibly breaking securities law by failing to disclose that one of its drivers had died while using the company's Autopilot semi-autonomous software. After the May 7 death of driver Joshua Brown, who was behind the wheel of a Model S when it collided with a big rig in Florida, Tesla said it immediately reported the fatal crash to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Brown had been using Tesla's Autopilot mode, which when engaged will assist drivers in steering, braking and collision avoidance; the feature is still in a public beta phase. The Palo Alto electric car maker characterized the death as "the first known fatality in just over 130 million miles where Autopilot was activated," but faced criticism for not disclosing the crash to the SEC, a possible breach of its corporate duty to inform the agency – and thus, its investors – of so-called material events. If you are battling traffic, teaching a teen how to make a left-hand turn or worrying over the driving skills of an elderly relative, a driverless car may seem like a marvelous thing.
