Perfect storm: Tesla sales buckle under competition, model changeover, politics
Perfect storm: Tesla sales buckle under competition, model changeover, politics

April 26, 2025 • By Tribune News Service

Tesla's sales have declined by 13% in the first quarter of 2025, despite the overall electric vehicle segment growing by 11%. The decline is attributed to a perfect storm of politics, model-year changeovers, and increased competition. The sales drop is the largest since the second quarter of 2022, with the Model Y SUV experiencing a 34% decline due to production changeovers. However, the Model 3 sedan saw a 70% growth in sales, and the company remains the largest player in the electric vehicle market with a 44% market share. Tesla's stock has also dropped by 34%, but the company plans to roll out new products, including a cheaper electric vehicle, to boost sales.

Robot Dexterity Still Seems Hard
Robot Dexterity Still Seems Hard

April 26, 2025 • By mhb

The article "Robot Dexterity Still Seems Hard" discusses the challenges of creating humanoid robots with dexterous capabilities. Despite significant investments and advancements in robotics, robots still struggle with tasks that require manipulation and fine motor skills, such as folding clothes, opening packages, or performing household chores. The author notes that while robots can perform impressive feats like running, jumping, and doing backflips, their ability to manipulate objects is still limited. The article highlights the difficulties in creating robotic hands that can match the capabilities of human hands, which are strong, sensitive, and capable of complex movements. Current robotic hands are often weak, expensive, and lack the tactile feedback and sensor density of human hands. The author also discusses the software challenges in creating dexterous robots, including the need for advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques to sequence actions and adjust to environmental feedback. The article mentions the concept of "evals" - tests to evaluate the capabilities and competencies of AI models - and proposes a list of 21 dexterously demanding tasks that would be challenging for robots to accomplish. The article concludes that while humanoid robotic dexterity is improving, it is still unclear what the improvement trajectory will be, and whether robots will follow a path similar to self-driving cars or require significant advances in hardware and software. The author also notes that the humanoid form factor may not be the only solution for robotic tasks and that other form factors may be more suitable for specific applications. Overall, the article provides a nuanced discussion of the challenges and limitations of creating dexterous robots and highlights the need for continued research and development in this area.

Anduril reinvents undersea surveillance with Seabed Sentry network
Anduril reinvents undersea surveillance with Seabed Sentry network

April 26, 2025 • By David Szondy

Anduril's Seabed Sentry is an undersea sensor network that uses AI to track ocean traffic. It's designed to augment existing systems like SOSUS, which has drawbacks such as being immobile and vulnerable to attack. Seabed Sentry consists of pressurized modules that can be deployed on the seabed by Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and remain unattended for months or years. These modules process and interpret sensor data, communicating relevant information to other nodes or a buoy or robotic mothership. The system is difficult to interfere with and can integrate with offensive vessels, making it a powerful tool for anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare. It can also protect infrastructure and monitor the environment. Seabed Sentry's ability to team up with armed AUVs makes it a formidable system that can detect and engage hostile threats, making it a game-changer in naval warfare.

The US Department of Transportation has introduced a new Automated Vehicle Framework, which includes a standing general order (SGO) on crash reporting for vehicles with advanced driver-assistance systems and automated driving systems. The SGO allows companies five days to submit a report if a vehicle with a Level 2 system is involved in a crash, and changes reporting requirements for vehicles with Level 2 driving automation that have been towed away after a crash. In other news, Slate, a Bezos-backed EV startup, has unveiled its new vehicle, and Ather Energy, an Indian startup, has cut the size of its initial public offer. DoorDash is looking to buy Deliveroo for $3.6 billion, and Electra, a hybrid electric aircraft startup, has raised $115 million in a Series B round. Additionally, Tesla has started testing its autonomous ride-hail service with employees, and Volkswagen of America and Uber plan to launch a commercial robotaxi service using autonomous electric VW ID. BUZZ vehicles. Rivian has appointed Aidan Gomez, the co-founder and CEO of generative AI startup Cohere, to its board, and Faraday Future has appointed founder Jia Yueting as its co-CEO.

California proposes allowing testing of self-driving heavy-duty trucks
California proposes allowing testing of self-driving heavy-duty trucks

April 25, 2025 • By The Associated Press

California regulators have proposed new rules to allow testing of self-driving heavy-duty trucks on public roads. The state's Department of Motor Vehicles announced the regulations, which would permit companies to test autonomous commercial semi-trucks. Currently, California is the only state that explicitly bans self-driving heavy-duty trucks, while other states like Texas, Arizona, and Arkansas already allow testing. The proposed regulations are subject to a public comment period until June and may face opposition from labor unions representing commercial truck drivers, who are concerned about safety and job loss due to automation. The regulations also include enhanced data-reporting requirements for manufacturers and give the DMV more authority to enforce measures against companies.
