Tesla robotaxi failure: 11 traffic violations in first days from 20 cars
The dream of robotaxis faces harsh reality! Tesla launched public tests of autonomous taxis in Austin, but the results were far from the promised technological miracle. In the first days of testing, at least 11 serious traffic violations were recorded. And this with only 20 vehicles selected for a limited circle of bloggers. Philip Koopman, professor at Carnegie Mellon University and expert on autonomous technologies, doesn’t hide his surprise: “This is terribly fast for so many videos with unstable driving to appear”.
For Elon Musk this is a serious blow, since he has repeatedly linked the company’s financial future precisely to autonomous driving technology. Especially against the backdrop of declining electric vehicle sales. Austin city authorities and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have already requested official comments from Tesla.
Cameras captured a whole bouquet of dangerous maneuvers. Driving into oncoming traffic lanes, sudden braking, inadequate reaction to police cars, speeding. And even dropping off passengers in the middle of a multi-lane road! The situation is only saved by operators present in the cabin who intervene at critical moments.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.
MIT graduate student reduced painting restoration from 230 to 3.5 hoursMIT graduate student Alex Kachkin developed a cool method for painting restoration using artificial intelligence. Reducing work time from many months to several hours. As a demonstration, he restored a work by an unknown Dutch master of the 15th century that had seriously suffered from time.
AI prosthetic from Canada analyzes objects and decides how to grasp themArtificial intelligence gives prosthetics independence! Scientists from Memorial University of Newfoundland created a revolutionary arm prosthetic that literally "thinks" for itself. Unlike traditional models that require reading muscle signals through sensors, the new device is completely autonomous.
DeepSeek packed LLM engine into 1200 lines of Python codeThe DeepSeek team presented nano-vLLM. This is a lightweight and compact engine for running large language models. Which could change perceptions about code efficiency. Amazingly, all functionality fit into just 1200 lines of Python code! This is true technological minimalism in the world of artificial intelligence. Traditional engines like this, for all their power, often suffer from an overloaded codebase. Which makes their modification a real trial for developers. Nano-vLLM solves this problem by offering a simple but powerful tool without unnecessary complexity. The code is open.
