This will be the second market to have an Uber robotaxi service outfitted with Lucid EVs equipped with a self-driving system from Nuro.

There is now a second free WSL management tool out there called WSL Dashboard , published by a developer who goes by owu on GitHub. It is open source, it has more GitHub stars than WSL UI, and it is clearly the product of real effort. I have no problem with any of that. Competition is good for users, and WSL deserves more than one good GUI. What I do have a problem with is this notice, which appears both on wslui.com and in the WSL Dashboard README: "This software is not distributed through the Microsoft Store. Any application listed there under the same name is unauthorized and may be counterfeit. Please do not download it to avoid potential scams." WSL UI is on the Microsoft Store. It has been since January. So that notice is, in plain terms, telling people that the genuine, certified, earlier WSL tool is a counterfeit scam. It isn't. And the entire claim falls apart the moment you look at the dates — all of which are public, timestamped, and independently verifiable. What this post is, and what it isn't This is not a "my project is better than yours" post. I'm not going to pick apart WSL Dashboard's features or pretend it's a bad piece of software. It isn't. This is a correction of one specific, factual claim: that the version of WSL UI on the Microsoft Store is unauthorized or counterfeit. That claim is demonstrably false, and because it's aimed at a tool people trust, it's worth setting straight properly — with evidence, not adjectives.

Mobileye apparently wants to own some of the robotaxi market, even if that puts it in direct competition with companies it supplies its self-driving system to.

The company said the cuts were part of a restructuring meant to help scale to profitability. Rivian recently pushed back its profitability goal to invest in autonomy.

Against all odds, the Tesla Cybercab is in production. And while Elon Musk's company may not have a very coherent plan for the tiny, autonomous two-seater, it's still taking the necessary steps to certify the EV's legitimacy. As such, Tesla recently filed paperwork with the Environmental Protection Agency that reveal many of the Cybercab's specs, […]
