Tesla plans to start selling Cybercabs by the end of the year

Engadget

Tesla is aiming to start selling Cybercabs to customers before the year ends. Lars Moravy, VP of engineering at the company, said that the automaker is "trying to get Cybercabs to customers by the end of this year, 2026," during its third quarter earnings calls. Moravy added that Tesla is already manufacturing Cybercabs at its Gigafactory in Texas, but those are meant for its internal robotaxi fleet. If the company does succeed in getting the vehicles to customers this year, it will start small. As it learns about "ownership and fleet management of autonomous vehicles in customer hands," Moravy said, Tesla will scale up Cybercab's sales.


Three takeaways from Elon Musk's latest political donations

BBC News

Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk is once again pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into a US election - this time with the aim of helping Republicans maintain their control of Congress. Musk donated upwards of $200m (£150m) in the quarter that ended on 30 September, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings reviewed by the BBC. The fillings were released with just over two weeks until the 2026 midterm election, where many races for the House of Representatives and Senate are close and Republicans risk losing their majorities in both the House of Representatives and Senate. Musk also put significant money, $290m, and effort into helping elect President Donald Trump and other Republicans in 2024. Here is where the richest person in the world has been donating this time around, and what it might mean for his businesses.

Trump launches midterms campaign blitz amid record low approval ratings

Al Jazeera

United States President Donald Trump has kicked off a 32-day campaign tour ahead of the November midterm elections that could see his Republican Party hurt by his handling of the war on Iran and the economy. "I give us an A+ on the government, on economics, on everything," Trump told a crowd of supporters at the Peterbilt Motors Company, a truck manufacturer. The president also blamed unfair media coverage for his growing unpopularity, arguing that his pre-election rally blitz was necessary to set the record straight. "We're doing an extremely poor job of promotion and an extremely great job of running the country," Trump said. But Trump's poll numbers have raised concerns about Republican prospects ahead of the November 3 midterm election.


Neurosymbolic planning using natural language communication for cooperative autonomous vehicles

AIHub

Imagine you are driving toward an intersection. A truck parked on the corner blocks your view of a car speeding toward the intersection from the right. You can't see it, but the car next to you can. Your car now knows something its own sensors could never observe. But there's an important twist: not every neighboring vehicle is worth listening to, and not every message deserves the same level of trust.


How the oil capital of the US welcomed a solar power boom

BBC News

Steve Cargil's family has farmed the flat, dry land around Uvalde, a small city in southwest Texas, since 1953. Cargil, 67, had always assumed that one of his three children would eventually take it over, the way he had from his father. But that assumption took a hit one night in 2018 after a violent hailstorm. Cargil and his son, Ryan, had spent months nursing crops of cabbage and onions to harvest. Then a storm rolled through and destroyed them overnight.
