In that way, Apple's cautious approach may be a service for the rest of the tech industry. By slowly acclimatizing its constellation of users to AI that makes their lives better instead of frustrating them, Apple makes the tech feel like a natural upgrade instead of an unreliable, scary intrusion.

Hong Kong CNN —Tesla is one step closer to launching full-self driving (FSD) technology in China after it clinched an agreement with Baidu to upgrade its mapping software. The Chinese tech giant said Saturday that it was providing lane-level navigation services for Tesla cars. China’s answer to Google has been been providing mapping services to Tesla since 2020. It could also accelerate Tesla’s global development of its self-driving technology, as data from China could be used to train Tesla’s algorithms needed for fully autonomous vehicles. “Tesla’s (own) navigation system can finally be used.”Introducing the FSD system could provide a revenue boost to Tesla, which is having a tough time in China.

☆ Tesla to recall 125,227 vehicles over faulty seat belt warning system

CNN —Tesla is recalling 125,227 vehicles in the United States due to a malfunction in its seat belt warning system that can increase the risk of injury in a collision, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday. The regulator said the vehicles failed to comply with the federal safety requirements as their seat belt warning light and audible chime may not get activated when the driver is unbelted. The recall affects certain 2012-2024 Model S, 2015-2024 Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3 and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles. The remedy will remove dependency on the driver seat occupancy sensor from the software and only rely on driver seat belt buckle and ignition status to activate the seat belt reminder signals, the NHTSA said. Tesla had recalled 200,000 Model S, X, and Y vehicles in the US in January due to a software malfunction that could obstruct drivers’ visibility while reversing.

☆ Singapore Releases Initial Report on Deadly Turbulence That Hit Flight
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-30 | by ( Mike Ives | More About Mike Ives | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: 1 min

The severe turbulence that killed one passenger and injured dozens on a recent Singapore Airlines flight led to sudden changes in altitude and airspeed, Singapore’s Transport Ministry said on Wednesday. Flight SQ321 encountered turbulence about 10 hours into a 13-hour trip to Singapore from London last week, officials said. The turbulence hit as the plane was traveling over southern Myanmar at an altitude of 37,000 feet, the Transport Ministry said in a preliminary report on Wednesday. When the plane rose unexpectedly by 362 feet, probably because of an updraft, its autopilot pitched it downward, the report said. The plane also sped up unexpectedly around the same time, and the pilots manually hit a brake in response.

The pilots reacted by disengaging the autopilot and manually stabilizing the aircraft for about 20 seconds before re-engaging the autopilot, investigators said. According to the report, the entire incident, from slightly rough air to deadly turbulence, lasted just one minute and two seconds. According to the investigators' report, once the pilots learned that passengers were injured, they diverted the flight to Bangkok.
