Faraday Future strikes deal to make cars in China with mobile gaming company

Posted: 24 Mar 2019 06:07 PM PDT

Troubled electric car startup Faraday Future has received another surprise lifeline in the form of a new 50/50 joint venture partnership with Chinese online video game company The9, the EV company announced Sunday. The9 says it's willing to contribute up to $600 million to the joint venture, and Faraday Future has promised to use that money to make a new car in China (and for the Chinese market) called the V9.

The new car will be based on the FF91, the ultra-luxury electric SUV that Faraday Future debuted at CES 2017, and the one that it's spent the last few years struggling to get into production. The9 and Faraday Future claim they will be able to make 300,000 cars per year, though they have not shared where they would be built.

Girl on the Third Floor is a skin-crawling horror movie about home improvement

Posted: 24 Mar 2019 10:00 AM PDT

Welcome to Cheat Sheet, our breakdown-style reviews of festival films, VR previews, and other special-event releases. This review comes from the 2019 SXSW Interactive Festival.

It's hard finding new ways to haunt a house. And Girl on the Third Floor, a horror film that premiered at 2019's SXSW Interactive Festival, doesn't make a point of trying. It hits the classic beats of the genre, largely established by Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House: a protagonist with a troubled past moves into a grand but dilapidated old home with a dark secret, then finds a malevolent force dredging up his personal demons.

Instead of trying to push narrative limits, Girl on the Third Floor uses predictability to generate suspense. It draws the...

Regulators have ‘tentatively approved’ a software fix for Boeing’s 737 Max airplane

Posted: 24 Mar 2019 08:55 AM PDT

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Federal Aviation Administration has "tentatively approved sweeping software and pilot-training changes" for Boeing's 737 MAX jet, a fix that could allow pilots to exert more control over an automated system that is thought to have been the cause of a deadly crash in Ethiopia last week, and could allow carriers to being flying the grounded aircraft once again.

The WSJ says that the software updates will scale back the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) redesigning it "so it won't overpower other cockpit commands or misfire based on faulty readings from a single sensor," and will only activate once, for a short duration in the event that there is an issue. The FAA has...

Posted: 24 Mar 2019 08:05 AM PDT

Microsoft's upcoming Chromium-powered Edge browser has leaked online. Download links for the browser have been posted to file sharing sites and popular beta sharing forums. The leaked version appears to be an early copy of what Microsoft is expected to release in public preview soon.

Microsoft's new version of Edge is built on Chromium, and early builds include Chrome extension support, syncing of favorites, and some custom tweaks to the user interface. The Verge got an exclusive early look at the browser recently, and it performs well on Windows 10. Some features are missing from what you might expect from Edge, though.

Microsoft hasn't included its set aside tabs feature yet, and the inking with a stylus feature hasn't been...

Love in the time of video games and Discord

Posted: 24 Mar 2019 08:00 AM PDT

Ming paces the store floor, careful to avoid eye contact with any shoppers. He rustles through his too-tight jean pockets for his vape pen. Minutes go by, until a whole hour has passed. He moves to check his Android smartwatch for what must be the hundredth time, but thinks better of it and checks his phone instead, in case the radio silence he's experiencing is due to his messages not syncing.

The very last message he sent Avery was: will u go out with me? He had been cute about it, sending her a cheesy meme attached to it, which was also a backup plan of sorts: if things went wrong, he could say it had all been a joke.

But this silence is too much. Ming reorganizes the sock drawer for a fifth time. He wishes he could flip over his...

Tesla is adding a stop light warning to Autopilot

Posted: 24 Mar 2019 07:39 AM PDT

Tesla says that it has begun to roll out a new feature for Autopilot called Autosteer Stop Light Warning, which is included in the latest vehicle software update. The feature is as it sounds: divers using the Autosteer feature will get a warning if they're about to run a stop light.

The company says that the new safety feature is designed to help improve safe driving around stop lights, and is rolling out in a new software update, 2019.8.3. The notification pops up for drivers that are using Autosteer, and if they're driving fast enough that they might run a red light. The feature won't apply the car's brakes, but it will provide a visual and audible signal that lets the driver know that they need to resume control of the car and slow...

Chinese EV startup XPeng is at the center of major trade secret disputes with Apple and Tesla

Posted: 24 Mar 2019 07:00 AM PDT

Last summer, a former Apple employee was charged by the FBI for allegedly stealing trade secrets related to the company's secretive self-driving car project. This week, Tesla sued a former employee for allegedly stealing trade secrets related to Autopilot. While they happened many months apart, both sets of allegations have something in common: the employees were each allegedly trying to get information to a Chinese electric car startup called Xiaopeng Motors.

Xiaopeng Motors, or XPeng, isn't well-known in the West, but has rapidly grown its profile in China despite an overly crowded field in the EV startup space. Now it finds itself close to the heart of these two major trade secret dustups. So it's worth taking a step back and...
