Regulator Probes Tesla Safety Ahead Of Robotaxi Launch

The US auto safety regulator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), has asked Tesla for more details on its planned automated taxi service in Austin, Texas, focusing on the use of Tesla’s 'Full Self-Driving' (FSD) offering.
The NHTSA’s probe into FSD, launched in October, is focused on how the system performs in reduced visibility conditions after reported collisions, including a fatal crash in 2023.
The NHTSA's letter to Tesla asks about the number of vehicles to be used as robotaxis, safety measures in poor weather, monitoring of vehicles, compliance with industry standards, and the use of sensors and cameras.
Tesla has until June 19 to respond to the NHTSA or may face fines. Concerns have been raised regarding Tesla's promotion of FSD as a robotaxi and the need for persistent driver attention even with features like Autopilot and Full Self-Driving.

The best docking stations for laptops in 2025

Docking stations offer between seven and 12 ports, require a DC power supply, and cost between $100 and $400, allowing you to connect various devices through a single USB-C port on your laptop.
Consider your connectivity needs, such as connecting monitors, cameras, mics, and more, before selecting a docking station. The types of ports and their capabilities should align with your requirements.
External monitors typically connect via HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C ports. DisplayPort interfaces allow for higher resolutions and refresh rates than HDMI.
USB ports on docking stations include USB Type-A and Type-C, offering different data transfer speeds and power delivery capacities based on their specifications.
Factors affecting data transfer speeds include cable quality and device support. Most docking stations are USB-C, often Thunderbolt, with host ports labeled for laptop connections.
Some docks feature Ethernet jacks for wired internet connections and SD card readers for file uploads. Consider the positioning and design of ports for ease of use.
Docking stations are valuable for expanding laptop connectivity beyond built-in ports, providing additional ports and power delivery. Most docks support laptop charging through the host connection.
Prices for docking stations range from $50 to $450, with a good selection of ports averaging around $200. Reputable brands include Kensington, Anker, Pluggable, and Belkin.
Setting up a docking station is usually plug and play, connecting the power cable, host port to the computer, and peripherals to the dock. Some docks may require drivers for more complex setups.
Not all docking stations are compatible with all laptops, so check compatibility lists on product pages. Charging laptops via docking stations is a common feature, typically delivering 65W to 100W of power.
Popular docking station brands include Kensington, Anker, Pluggable, Belkin, Lenovo, Dell, and HP, offering options for various laptop models and connectivity needs.

OpenAI, Microsoft ‘Renegotiating’ Deal Around Future IPO

OpenAI and Microsoft are renegotiating their partnership, estimated at over $13 billion, to allow OpenAI to pursue a future IPO while safeguarding Microsoft's access to OpenAI's upcoming technology.
Microsoft's hesitation stems from uncertainties around the equity it will receive in return for its sizable investment, hindering OpenAI's transition to a for-profit corporate structure.
The renegotiations involve adjusting the terms of a prolonged contract, effective until 2030, outlining Microsoft's rights to OpenAI's intellectual property and revenue sharing from product sales.
Microsoft may relinquish a portion of its equity in OpenAI's new for-profit business to secure access to forthcoming technologies developed post-2030, crucial for OpenAI's restructuring post-recent funding rounds.
