Tesla’s self-driving technology fails to detect children in the road
https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...afety-children

The Dawn Project says its test track results revealed that the latest version of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta software failed to detect a stationary, child-sized mannequin at an average speed of 25mph.

The claim is the central plank of an ad campaign urging the public to press Congress to ban Tesla’s auto-driving technology.

O’Dowd described the test results – which have been published on the Dawn Project’s website – as “deeply disturbing” and that Tesla’s software represented “a lethal threat to all Americans.”

In June, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), said it was expanding an investigation into 830,000 Tesla cars across all four current model lines. The expansion came after analysis of a number of accidents revealed patterns in the car’s performance and driver behavior.

Princess Diana's unique Ford Escort sells for £650,000 at auction

Silverstone Auctions said there was "fierce bidding'' for the Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 1 that was specially adapted for the Princess of Wales, who drove it in the 1980s.


Diana's Ford on the auction floor. She was often pictured with the car in 1980s.

A car used and driven by Diana, Princess of Wales, sold for a whopping £650,000 (around €765,000 or $762,000) at auction on Saturday.

The late British Royal was often seen driving the Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 1 around Chelsea and Kensington in London, sometimes with Prince William sitting in a special car seat in the back.

Diana liked driving herself around, which meant her bodyguard was relegated to the passenger seat.
People's princess shunned fancy royal cars

For the princess to drive the vehicle was "a very brave choice," Arwel Richards, classic car specialist at Silverstone Auctions, said.

"All the other members of the royal family would be driving around London in the back... of an official car... and she's driving in a car... that you would see on a housing estate not outside the palace," Richards said.

Diana preferred to use her own car instead of the royal family's stately Rolls-Royces and Daimlers.

The Escort was not a luxury vehicle but one of the UK's best-selling cars, although the RS Turbo was something special and out of reach of many less wealthy Escort drivers.

Ford specially adapted it for Diana to make it more discreet with features such as a second rear view mirror (so her security detail could keep an eye on cars behind from the passenger seat if she was driving) and a radio in the glove box.

It was also painted black at the palace's request to make it more inconspicuous — Ford typically only sold the exclusive, sporty version of its popular compact family saloon in white — and it had a grill from the standard model Escort to conceal its added power and value.

She drove the car between 1985 and 1988 and clocked 6,800 miles (roughly 10,950 kilometers) in it before returning it to Ford. The car remains very low mileage for its age, with just under 25,000 miles on the clock.

The car was auctioned for £650,000 plus the buyer's premium and tax bringing the total sales price to £730,000.

Anniversary of Diana's death

The sale comes as interest in Diana's life remains huge, a quarter-century after her death, fueled in some part in recent years by the success of the Netflix series "The Crown" .

The auctioneers said the sale attracted "a supreme amount of global press and publicity interest."

Last year another Ford Escort previously owned by Diana, a 1981 silver 1.6L Ghia saloon that was an engagement present from Prince Charles, sold at auction for £52,000.

Next week marks 25 years since Diana died, aged 36, when a limousine in which she was a passenger crashed in a Paris tunnel.

Tesla under US criminal investigation over self-driving claims
https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...claims-sources

As early as 2016, Tesla’s marketing materials have touted Autopilot’s capabilities. On a conference call that year, Elon Musk, the Tesla chief executive, described it as “probably better” than a human driver.Last week,

Musk said on another call Tesla would soon release an upgraded version of “full self-driving” software, allowing customers to travel “to your work, your friend’s house, to the grocery store without you touching the wheel”.

A video currently on the company’s website says: “The person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.”

As part of the latest investigation, prosecutors in Washington and San Francisco are examining whether Tesla misled consumers, investors and regulators by making unsupported claims about its driver assistance technology’s capabilities, the sources said.

End of the road for Ford Fiesta
https://www.theguardian.com/business...lts-production

Ford on Wednesday confirmed it will end production of the UK’s all-time bestselling car next June.

The model’s end will become only the latest symbol of the shift from internal combustion engines to batteries: the factory in Cologne, Germany, where the last Fiestas are being made will switch to producing two new electric models.

During the 47 years since the first Fiestas rolled off the production line at Ford’s factory in Valencia, Spain, more than 22m have been sold around the world. Of those, 4.8m were in the UK, where the Fiesta was the top-selling model for 12 years in a row from 2009 to 2020.

The Fiesta (“party”, in Spanish) was never glamorous, but it was hugely popular through seven iterations. The Internet Movie Car Database lists more than 4,000 appearances in films.

US authorities bust catalytic converter theft ring that raked in over $545m
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ing-new-jersey

Catalytic converters are vehicle exhaust devices that convert toxic gases into safer emissions.They can be stolen in less than one minute, often lack identification details that can make them easier to track and can fetch more than $1,000 on the black market

The US Department of Justice said many stolen converters were sold to DG Auto Parts LLC of Freehold, New Jersey, which allegedly sold precious metal powders it extracted from the devices through a “de-canning” process to a metal refinery for more than $545m.

Authorities are seeking the forfeiture of that sum, after seizing other assets including homes, bank accounts, luxury vehicles and cash.
