Tesla is inching closer to securing $14M in rebates in the first decade of its Texas plant running, even with a portion of rebates being withheld over compliance issues. But some Texans don’t think enough was kept from Tesla, saying it’s “bull” to withhold 9% www.statesman.com/business/art...

After five autonomous vehicles froze near the scene of the March Sixth Street shooting, my colleagues and I did a deep dive on how robotaxis handle first responder situations. More here: www.statesman.com/business/tra...

You may never ride in an Austin robotaxi. Its mistakes could still affect you

It's still crazy that the internet is already so infested with AI slop, we're considering labeling human-made content instead. @zombiewretch.bsky.social says:

Let us filter AI slop, you cowards
Let’s put those AI labels to the test.

Media outlets can't pivot to AI to save themselves. It's not a business strategy and it's not going to work. The only path forward is for journalists to lean into their humanity, to do things AI can't, and to make clear they are writing for people, not algorithms: www.404media.co/the-medias-p...

The Media's Pivot to AI Is Not Real and Not Going to Work
AI is not going to save media companies, and forcing journalists to use AI is not a business model.

The FAA gave SpaceX the OK for 25 Starship launches per year at Boca Chica, up from five. Earlier this year, I covered how the plan concerned residents across the affected flight path, who said the increased cadence would cause harm to the ocean and wildlife.

In the early ‘90s, Southwest Airlines was uniquely situated to be ditched by customers who would turn to rail if given the option. I looked at how Southwest responded and what it means for the latest proposal for high-speed rail in Texas.

The airline didn't want public funds to be used for a bullet train project decades ago. And it likely didn't want the competition either.
