The leading U.S. automakers are mentioning EVs on their investor calls at pre-pandemic rates, according to new data from TechCrunch and Hudson Labs.

Tesla had already reportedly prepped for the idea in the event that Beijing invades Taiwan.

The NHTSA has given Amazon's Zoox permission to charge for rides. It's the first AV with no manual controls to get it.

Last week, a Baseten inference engineer who goes by @waterloo_intern published a technical blog post titled "22,580: From GPT-2 to Kimi K3, Explained." It hit 2.4 million views in days. He didn't write a press release. He wrote runnable PyTorch code — starting from GPT-2's attention block, stepping through every architectural change, explaining one problem and one cost per iteration. It's the best transformer lineage explanation I've seen. I devoured his post, then cross-checked the key claims against 5 original papers. Here's the full picture. The 22,580x Number In February 2019, OpenAI released GPT-2 — 124M parameters. Seven years later, Moonshot AI open-sourced Kimi K3 — 2.8T parameters. You could fit 22,580 GPT-2s inside one Kimi K3 . But this isn't a "throw more compute at it" story. It's a story about how we store, update, and retrieve memory . Starting Point: GPT-2 class Block ( nn . Module ): def forward ( self , x ): x = x + self . attn ( self . ln_1 ( x )) x = x + self . mlp ( self . ln_2 ( x )) return x Every time the model generates a new token, it recomputes Q, K, V projections for all historical tokens, then runs an O(N²) softmax attention. K and V from tokens 1 through N-1? Thrown away. Token N+1 arrives? Recompute everything. That's why KV Cache was invented. KV Cache: Store It, Don't Recompute Simple idea: cache the already-computed keys and values. For the next token, new Q only needs one dot product against the cached K. Problem solved — but a new one created. KV cache grows linearly with sequence length. At 1M tokens × d_model × layers, that's dozens of GB of VRAM. Every decoding step reads all of it from HBM. The bottleneck isn't compute. It's memory bandwidth. This is the key to understanding every improvement that follows. Linear Attention: Fixed-Size Memory Can we compress O(N²D) into O(ND²)? The idea: replace softmax with a feature map. # Standard softmax (must materialize N×N first) attention = softmax(QKᵀ / √d) × V # Linear attention (fold

Florida wants to use federal EV charger funds to build an air taxi network connecting golf courses, luxury apartment buildings, and airports.

The milestone means Tesla is halfway to accomplishing one of the four core product goals Elon Musk has to hit to unlock his full $1 trillion pay package.

The SkyNomad N90 Max is the latest electric SUV from Xiaomi and its first extended-range EV, with a claimed range of over 1,705 km (about 1,059 miles). It will come in both five- and seven-seat configurations, as well as an N90 Max Camping Edition. One of the big features of the N90 is its highly […]

Murat Demirbas discusses the shift toward disaggregated cloud database architectures driven by cloud economics. He explains how decoupling compute from storage enables elastic scaling, cost efficiency, and fault isolation. He shares how classical Paxos roles foreshadowed disaggregation, while analyzing network tradeoffs, shared-memory evolution, and self-assembling database designs. By Murat Demirbas

Federal safety regulators have given Zoox a temporary exemption that will allow the Amazon-owned autonomous vehicle technology company to charge customers for rides in its custom-built robotaxi.

Waymo paused highway operations in May after several robotaxis drove into sections that were closed for construction.

To the horror of commenters across the internet, the Ferrari Luce appears to be a sales success.

Waymo robotaxis are now using freeways in Phoenix with more cities to follow in the coming days.

Just two months after a bumpy launch earlier this year, Ferrari has reportedly already hit its 2026 sales goal for its polarizing, Jony Ive-designed Luce EV. Ahead of Ferrari announcing its quarterly earnings on Thursday, the Financial Times reports that Ferrari was aiming to sell "just under 500" Luce units this year, and reached that […]

Some newer vehicles include the feature, but to keep it, you'll have to pay monthly. You can also buy remote starters outright.

DoorDash has received FAA approval to operate a commercial drone delivery service in the United States.

Daniel Doubrovkine explains why traditional LeetCode whiteboard interviews fail to evaluate senior engineering talent. He discusses his own experience bombing basic algorithm tests despite decades of leadership, and shares actionable frameworks for redefining the interview loop. Discover how evaluating human judgment, system design, and hands-on AI collaboration yields far better hiring signals. By Daniel Doubrovkine

A new lawsuit accuses Tesla of overextending the safety operators overseeing its robotaxis.

Rep. Kevin Mullin (D-California ) has proposed a bill that would direct federal regulators to establish minimum national safety standards for autonomous vehicle operators.

The investment comes after speculation that Saudi Arabia may take Lucid Motors private -- which the EV maker has denied.

Ben Greene discusses how software engineers can adapt and thrive in an era of rapid AI code automation. Drawing on his startup experience, he explains key mindsets like starting simple, maintaining code comprehension, attacking hard problems first, and focusing on customer impact. He shares why human empathy, agency, and practical problem-solving remain irreplaceable when code is automated. By Ben Greene
