Tesla's self-driving car had test staged 5b5w55
We were in the year 2016 when Tesla, to prove the advances of its autopilot system, published a video of the Tesla X traveling without drivers. The idea seemed successful when it was put into practice. But seven years later, due to the death trial of a former Apple engineer who was killed in a Tesla self-driving car accident, it came back to light.
Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's Director of Autopilot Software, confirmed that before the video was recorded, the car's system Tesla X received a 3D mapping on a predetermined route from a house in Menlo Park, California, to Tesla's headquarters in Palo Alto. He also mentioned that when parking, the car still hit the parking fence and it was necessary for a person to take over the direction.
The big problem with this is that, although the company mentions that a person must still test in front of the steering wheel, both in the video and on its official website, the models are sold as autonomous. When asked by the judge if the autonomy data were reported in the video, Ashok denied this data, as well as assuming that the predetermined route and the small accident had never been reported since 2016.
When reached for comment, Tesla, Elon Musk ou Ashok They did not answer. A transcript of the document was obtained by Reuters and is making waves as the scandal also put the company's current technologies into question.
As a way to minimize concealment, the director cited that the exhibits were more focused on showing the potential futures of the company's autopilot system. Tesla. The case of the death of Walter huang, a former Apple engineer, is still on trial and the victim's wife's lawyer said it was almost obvious the video had been staged.
Despite the video being released as a demonstration of what was to come in the future, Elon musk posted on your Twitter that the car had "driven itself". In 2021, the US Department of Justice also launched crash investigations involving Tesla vehicles, proving that there are issues that still need to be resolved before cars are defined as self-driving.

AirSeas displays first successful kite ship test n5t40
Trips made by ships can gain a novelty that can help reduce the emission of toxic gases and the use of dirty fuels by up to 20%.

The parafoil kite was 250 square meters long. Check out:
A AirSeas is made up of a team of engineers who have already worked on airbus and the idea is that the idea will manage to reduce ship fuel – and associated greenhouse gas emissions by an average of up to 20%. It's still too early to say when this will be available on a large scale, as everything is still in its initial testing, but all of AirSeas are excited about the success of the first test.
It is expected that more solutions like this will appear at the meeting of global shipping regulators in International Maritime Organization, a division of ONU. The main focus of the event is to negotiate a goal of zero net emissions by 2050.
