2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Teala isn't releasing 2 lower cost autonomous vehicles in 2025.
They are releasing 2 lower cost vehicles.
The robo taxi isn't until 2026 if you make the assumption it's on time and is autonomous.
Saying teala is releasing 2 autonomous vehicles in 2025 is like saying teala sold 1.79 million autonomous vehicles this year.
This reminds me of my old physics assignments:
"Assuming a perfectly spherical cow...."
I want to hear more about this perfectly spherical cow question.
This is a joke ntended to illustrate the sometimes absurd oversimplification that has to be made to do certain calculations. An apple falls out of a tree from 20 feet off the ground, how long does it take to hit the ground. Well, what is the drag coefficient? Assume it's a sphere. OK, what about the texture, the air temp, wind, is the ground level and flat, etc etc. And as the problems increase in complexity the number of variables increases exponentially. So your professor might tell you to "Assume it is a spherical cow of uniform density“.
Often these estimates are actually quite good and trying to account for all variables isn't needed.
Sounds like fun. There's going to be that 1 grad student who is like, but how close of approximation is it really and can we use other knowledge to fine tune it... I'm going to launch a cow with a trebuchet and get some better answers.
Any sane government won't let them on the road until that is decidedly not the case.
Asking for a sane government is a big ask nowadays it seems though.
Hey now the DMV could ban them here in California and then ignore any attempt by the feds to override that, supremacy clause only exists when you have the budget to enforce it after all.
I know this is completely unrelated... but it just made me think of a Robotaxi arriving from Nevada, and the LAPD go in pursuit since they're illegal in California, then the LAPD decide to do a pit maneuver on it because it doesn't stop and it kills 2 pedestrians on the street as a result.
Pit maneuver? Isn't just enough to throw a orange cone on the hood?
The LAPD don't hire the brightest bunch.
Thats super unrealistic since LAPD would never do that, San Bernardino Sheriff's Department would total the thing out by Primm or CHP would impound it.
Tesla has said Full Self Driving is coming next year for like 9 straight years in a row, and the only thing that came out of that was "obviously FSD is a marketing term, only an idiot would have bought FSD and thought they get an autonomous vehicle"
Space X pushed the hyper loop when California pitched their idea of building high speed rail throughout the state, and once they gave space X a grant and cancelled their plans, he dropped the project.
Tesla's value comes from vibes and the potential of what some vaporware technology could be worth if they could actually build it.
I mean honestly, if Tesla could build an autonomous vehicle that could pay for itself in 1 year from taxi fares, why would they sell that to the public? They'd make way more keeping it to themselves or maybe franchising it out. A complete monopoly on the autonomous taxi industry sold for $45,000? Yeah, right.
I'm just trying to correct the article dude. It was blatantly wrong, sloppy writing.
