California sales of battery-electric vehicles made up over a third of BEV sales across the U.S. last year, with Tesla leading the charge.
Chinese EV leader BYD is launching its new in-house smart driving tech next month. According to local reports, the advanced ADAS feature will roll out by the end of March.
A report from LatePost (via CnEVPost) Monday claimed the first BYD city pilot assist driving feature will be available on March 30. BYD’s Denza N7 SUV will be the first of the auto giant’s 20+ lineup to receive the upgrade.
Citing sources close to the matter, the report says major cities like Shenzen (BYD’s headquarters) will be the first to see the feature rollout.
Ford thinks cheaper vehicles are crucial for competing with upcoming vehicles from Tesla and Chinese EV companies.
Imagine you work for a car rental agency or a package delivery company and you’re in charge of a fleet of vehicles. If you’re switching to EV vehicles, it becomes more complex to manage your vehicles due to long charging time and limited charging point availabilities.
Guided Energy, a French startup that raised $5.2 million from Sequoia Capital and Dynamo Ventures at the end of 2023, is building a software tool that help EV fleet operators when it comes to charge management and dispatch. The company aggregates data from vehicles, public and private charging points and uses machine learning to tell you when and where you’re supposed to charge your vehicles.
“The beauty of the EV ecosystem is that it is all online. This means, we connect to both EVs and charging points directly. Where customers already have telematics or supervision platforms in place, we can integrate with them using APIs into our platform, giving them a single, real-time, unified view of their EV operations,” co-founder and CEO Anant Kapoor told me.
Meta is promising to roll out auto-labeling for AI-generated images — as soon as it figures out how, that is.
Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs, said in a policy update that the company is currently working with “industry partners” to formulate criteria that will help identify AI content. Once those criteria are determined, Meta will begin automatically labeling posts featuring any AI-generated images, video, or audio “in the coming months.”
“This approach represents the cutting edge of what’s technically possible right now. But it’s not yet possible to identify all AI-generated content, and there are ways that people can strip out invisible markers,” Clegg wrote. “So we’re pursuing a range of options. We’re working hard to develop classifiers that can help us to automatically detect AI-generated content, even if the content lacks invisible markers.”
Aside from things like special tread design and the use of foam, EV tires and regular tires are nearly identical.
With a 400-mile range and solar capabilities, Aptera’s solar EVs are setting the stage for sustainability and accessibility.

Ziyan’s Shadow S3 sets new standards with a sub-7kg take-off weight, exceptional wind resistance, and an impressive 100-minute endurance.
Researchers have not only built an AI child, but are now training AI using headcam footage from a human baby as well.
In a press release, New York University announced that its data science researchers had strapped a camera to the head of a real, live, human toddler for 18 months to see how much an AI model could learn from it.
Most large language models (LLMs), like OpenAI’s GPT-4 and its competitors, are trained on “astronomical amounts of language input” that are many times larger than what infants receive when learning to speak a language during the first years of their lives.
