Tesla stands accused by some customers of retroactively amending their FSD contracts, Volkswagen decides to ban all third-party API access for its telematics systems across all of its brands, and a court case in the Netherlands decides that pedaling an e-bike might not actually mean you need to make the pedals do a full revolution.

With their color palettes like rare, tropical birds, Erik Jones’ paintings present beauty as it might exist in a vacuum. Or at least that’s the illusion. Read the entire article by Nastia Voynovskaya by clicking above...

In video, The Hills actor, who did not contest the outcome of the election, said his campaign to ‘save’ LA was just starting

Spencer Pratt appeared to concede the Los Angeles mayor’s race on Friday in a new video where he says “the campaign portion of my mission to save Los Angeles is coming to a close”, but declares “war” against the two candidates advancing to the city’s general election.

In the video posted on social media, Pratt notably did not contest the results of the election, despite Donald Trump’s repeated, but unfounded claims the race was “rigged”. Trump, who endorsed Pratt, called California’s elections “crooked”.
