Serial tech entrepreneur and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has had a longstanding fear of artificial intelligence, but his company’s investments in artificial intelligence have been noted as an attempt to keep track of developments in the field of AI. In an interview for Vanity Fair in April 2017, he outright expressed his concerns with AI and claimed that one of the reasons for the development of SpaceX was that it could be an interplanetary escape route for humanity if artificial intelligence goes rogue. However, even Musk realizes the importance of AI in real-world applications, specifically for self-driving cars. At the end of June, Musk hired Andrej Karpathy as the new Directo…

Tesla’s 2017 Model S has missed the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) top-safety pick+ rating, citing issues with the small overlap front test. Tesla had made changes to the vehicle in January to fix issues in this area, but the IIHS’s test results show otherwise. “Tesla made changes to the safety belt in vehicles built after January with the intent of reducing the dummy’s forward movement,” IIHS said in a statement today. “However, when IIHS tested the modified Model S, the same problem occurred, and the rating didn’t change.” The small overlap front test is meant to simulate crashes into trees, poles, and other vehicles. IIHS EVP & chief research offic…

With the launch of Intelsat 35e just minutes ago, SpaceX has completed their third successful launch in just under two weeks. The last mission SpaceX has scheduled for the rest of July, Intelsat 35e is also the largest geostationary payload the company has yet to launch, weighing in a bit less than 6,800 kilograms. This required an expendable Falcon 9, meaning that the vehicle did not have the legs and grid fins characteristic of SpaceX’s reusability efforts. After two automated aborts on Sunday and Monday, SpaceX stood down an attempt on July 4th out of an abundance of caution, and the launch team instead conducted a full review of the vehicle and pad systems late last …

At a crowded Fremont Factory meeting, female employees shared stories of sexual harassment, mistreatment by male managers, unfair promotion decisions and more, sources told The Guardian. One of the women there was AJ Vandermeyden, the female engineer who sued the company for pervasive harassment and pay discrimination. Shortly after this town hall took place, Vandermeyden was fired. “They just want to absolutely crush anyone who speaks up,” Vandermeyden told the news outlet. “I spoke up, and I was made a sacrificial lamb for it. It’s a scary precedent.” Tesla has rejected Vandermeyden’s claims, saying she was terminated for “falsely attacking our company in the press…

More than 70 electric vehicle charging ports will be added in rural Western Australia in a move that’s aimed at providing drivers with more options to refuel while cruising down the coast, according to WAToday. Robert Dean and his partner Robin made a 13-day, 5,400 kilometer (3,356 mile) trip from Perth to Broome in their 2015 Tesla Model S. They stopped every 400 kilometers (249 miles) to recharge on their journey, which they made before the charging port announcement. “People were saying, ‘You can’t do that!,’ but I knew we could,” Rob told RAC. “It became a challenge to prove we could and I thought we could actually do it quite easily.” The journey is a major bl…

Tesla had a big holiday weekend with Elon Musk announcing that the first Model 3 will roll off the production line this Friday, but this news was not enough to persuade finance giants like Goldman Sachs that the dollar signs in everyone’s eyes would translate to gains for shareholders Goldman Sachs analyst David Tamberrino lowered his six-month price target for Tesla to $180 from $190, representing 49 percent downside from Monday’s close, according to CNBC. Tamberrino cites a slower sales growth and doubts over meeting lofty production goals as the reasoning behind his downgrading. “We remain sell rated on shares of TSLA where we see potential for downside as the Mod…

After a second automatic T-10s launch abort Monday night, Elon Musk expressed a welcome prioritization of caution over an attempt to break cadence records. As such, the launch team at LC-39A are standing down an attempt today and instead conducting a full review of the Falcon 9 vehicle and ground systems, pushing the launch to either July 5th or 6th. As Musk transparently phrased it, there is only one chance to get a rocket launch right. Returning to current events, the Falcon 9 intended to launch Intelsat 35e went horizontal on July 4, and is likely now in the integration facility present at LC-39A, providing easier access to engineers as they comb over the vehicle t…
