Tesla will regularly release data about the safety of Autopilot, Elon Musk says

Posted: 02 May 2018 06:19 PM PDT

Tesla will publish quarterly reports about the safety of its Autopilot driver assistance feature, CEO Elon Musk announced on a call with analysts Wednesday. Musk didn't elaborate on exactly what the reports will entail, and a representative for Tesla declined to add any further detail. But the move could represent a major change in how the company treats data related to Autopilot, which is typically closely guarded.

Musk argued on the call that there is "no question" that Autopilot reduces the chance of a driver getting in an accident, something both he and his company have often claimed in the past. "The statistics are unequivocal that Autopilot improves safety," he said. Publishing these statistics about Autopilot's performance will...

This nuclear power plant has been called a ‘floating Chernobyl,’ but is that just hype?

Posted: 02 May 2018 04:13 PM PDT

<em>The Academik Lomonosov is being towed from St. Petersburg to Murmansk, Russia, where it will fuel up. </em>

Critics are calling a floating nuclear power plant bound for a Russian town in the Arctic circle "Chernobyl on ice." While there isn't really enough information to make a specific risk assessment, a floating nuclear reactor in and of itself isn't necessarily a cause for alarm — nuclear reactors have been powering submarines for over 60 years.

The floating power station, called the Akademik Lomonosov, has been under construction since 2009. Russian state-run nuclear power company Rosatom launched it on its first voyage on Saturday. Right now, the Akademik Lomonosov is slowly being towed from St. Petersburg, Russia to the town of Murmansk, where its two nuclear reactors will be fueled up this fall.

The plan is for the barge to leave for...

Elon Musk says Tesla Model Y will be a ‘manufacturing revolution’

Posted: 02 May 2018 03:40 PM PDT

Elon Musk said that Tesla's forthcoming electric crossover vehicle, the Model Y, will be a "manufacturing revolution," even though the automaker is still struggling to get its mass-market Model 3 out of the door and into customers' driveways. In an earnings call Wednesday, Musk said that Tesla has yet to spend any capital expenditures on the Model Y, but that it was spending some cash on early product designs.

But the vehicle's real impact will be in the manufacturing process, where Musk says he wants to avoid the pain he's currently experiencing with Model 3 production. "I think the Model Y is going to be a manufacturing revolution," he said, adding that the Model Y will be "incredible from a manufacturing standpoint."

Tesla earned and burned a record amount of cash in most recent quarter

Posted: 02 May 2018 02:32 PM PDT

Tesla started 2018 with a record quarter in a number of ways, the company announced today. It generated $3.4 billion in revenue, which is more than ever before. Tesla also burned through more money than ever, turning that revenue figure into a nearly $785 million loss. Tesla set a new company high for cars made in the first quarter of a year, too, including the critically important Model 3, which the company is making at a pace of about 2,200 per week — still below the oft-delayed 2,500 per week target set by CEO Elon Musk.

Today, Musk and Tesla chief financial officer Deepak Ahuja claim in a quarterly letter to (and a subsequent call with) investors that the company will get back in the green in the second half of this year. And Musk...

Romaine lettuce from Arizona has an E. coli problem, but the good news is the harvest there is over

Posted: 02 May 2018 02:27 PM PDT

If you're freaking out about the recent E. coli outbreak tied to romaine lettuce, don't. Growing season is over in the area of Yuma, Arizona where the infected produce was coming from, so the romaine lettuce at your grocery store or restaurant should be coming from other places and be just fine. Still, if you can't confirm where the romaine lettuce is coming from, don't eat it, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

So far, 121 people have been infected with E. coli in 25 states, the CDC announced today. Though most strains of E. coli are harmless, some — like the E. coli O157:H7 that caused the outbreak — can produce toxins and make people sick. If you eat a salad with infected leaves, you can get cramps, bloody...

Spotify hits 75 million paid subscribers as it releases first earnings

Posted: 02 May 2018 02:02 PM PDT

Spotify just released its first earnings report as a public company, and it contains an updated look at how many people are using the music service. In all, Spotify has 170 million monthly active users and 75 million paid subscribers. That latter total is up from the 71 million marker where Spotify ended Q4. By contrast, Apple Music recently crossed 40 million subscribers. There are now 99 million people listening to Spotify through its ad-supporter free tier. Spotify's revenue (€1.14 billion) was in line with expectations.

Premium subscribers will jump up to somewhere between 79 and 83 million users by the end of the next quarter, according to Spotify's earnings outlook. And the company's prediction for how it'll fare through the rest...

DC Comics’ new streaming service now has a name and a landing page

Posted: 02 May 2018 02:01 PM PDT

Last year, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment announced they were launching a new digital streaming platform that would include both animated and live action series. Now, that service has a name — DC Universe — and an official landing page on the DC Comics website.

The landing page describes the platform as a "first-of-its kind, immersive digital experience designed just for DC fans," with access to exclusive original series. Several shows have already been announced for the platform, including the animated Young Justice: Outsiders, the live-action adaptation of DC's Titans comics, and an animated series focusing on fan favorite Harley Quinn. Today it was also announced that a live-action Swamp Thing series would be coming to the...

LG’s V30S ThinQ will cost $930 in the US

Posted: 02 May 2018 01:48 PM PDT

LG announced a storage and memory update to its V30 phone earlier this year at Mobile World Congress, and only now are we getting an idea of what the device might cost in the US. B&H has listed the 128GB version of the V30S ThinQ for $929.99. We don't yet have pricing for the 256GB version. We've reached out to LG for confirmation, but the company did confirm the price with CNET. The original V30 Plus with 128GB of storage cost $912 in the US.

The V30S ThinQ features the exact same hardware as the V30. The only difference between the two devices is more memory (4GB to 6GB) and larger storage options (a choice between 64GB or 128GB of storage to 128GB or 256GB). The phone also ships with LG's new AI Cam, which is supposed to identify...

Microsoft still won’t say how many Xbox Ones have been sold

Posted: 02 May 2018 01:00 PM PDT

Microsoft is providing a vague update on its Xbox One sales today, after remaining largely silent for years on exactly how many consoles have been sold. "Xbox One sales are up 15 percent over the same period last year," says Microsoft's game marketing chief, Mike Nichols, in a blog post about "recording-setting" Xbox numbers. The blog post still doesn't include any actual sales numbers, so it's hard to tell exactly how well the Xbox One is doing. Either way, it's encouraging for Microsoft that its Xbox One sales are growing this year after the launch of the Xbox One X.

Microsoft happily provided sales figures when the console first launched back in 2013, but the company soon stopped reporting numbers after it passed the 10 million...

Verizon is putting Oath bloatware like Go90 on its Galaxy S9 phones

Posted: 02 May 2018 12:38 PM PDT

Verizon has signed a deal with Samsung to preload four apps from Verizon's Oath brand onto Galaxy S9 smartphones as part of the company's ongoing effort to get people to actually watch content (and, more importantly, ads) from services like Go90, via Reuters.

Specifically, Oath's Newsroom, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, and Go90 mobile video apps will be preloaded on Samsung's Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus phones sold through Verizon going forward. The Verge has confirmed with Samsung that the preloaded apps will only be coming to Verizon phones, not other carriers or unlocked devices, but it's still something that looks especially frustrating given the rise of phones like Google's Pixel line, which go out of their way to avoid eradicate carrier...
