Tesla was able to produce almost 480,000 cars and deliver more than 466,000 vehicles in the second quarter of 2023.
The flying car is now available for preorder, the Santa Clara, California-based company posted on its website. Carrying one or two occupants, the vehicle will sell for about $300,000.
The âModel Aâ is 100% electric, drivable on public roads and has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, the company wrote in its release.
The car will be a Low Speed Vehicle, meaning it wonât go faster than about 25 miles per hour on a paved surface. If a driver needs a faster route, they will be able to use the vehicleâs flight capabilities, according to Alef.
Alef Aeronauticsâ âModel Aâ has a driving range of 200 miles and a flight range of 110 miles. The company plans to start delivering cars by late 2025.
The exit ramp is a long, curving slope, and you have to make sure the 50-foot big rig youâre driving carefully navigates the bend and doesnât fly out of control at a high speed.
But the thing is, youâre not actually there. Youâre in a room in Silicon Valley, watching the ramp unfold in front of you on several screens. That heavy load youâre carrying is thousands of miles away in Florida.
Welcome to teleoperated driving, or remote-controlled driving with a human in front of a steering wheel, brake, and gas pedals, and a âwindshieldâ plastered with monitors. Itâs a method that allows autonomous vehicles to operate without anyone inside. Instead, thereâs a watchful remote driver, or operator,⊠More.
Driving a truck is really hard, Seltz-Axmacher admits. Doing it through remote control is maybe just as difficult, until youâve had enough training. After attempting to remotely back up a 50-foot long trailer between two parked trucks, for instance, he said he returned to the professional truckers with his tail between his legs. On the flip side, long-time truck drivers still require practice for remote control driving and go through one-week trainings to get used to operating a truck from in front of a monitor instead of the road.
Facebookâs AI guru and machine learning pioneer Yann Lecun is coming for the artificial intelligence chatbot craze â and it may put him at odds with his own employer.
As Fortune reports, Metaâs chief AI scientist Yann Lecun admitted during a talk in Paris this week that heâs not exactly a fan of the current spate of chatbots and the large language models (LLMs) theyâre built on.
âA lot of people are imagining all kinds of catastrophe scenarios because of AI, and itâs because they have in mind these auto-regressive LLMs that kind of spew nonsense sometimes,â he told the Meta Innovation Press Day crowd. âThey say itâs not safe. They are right. Itâs not. But itâs also not the future.â
The world of land speed records is full of crazy homemade creations, like this steam-powered bike that runs on spent cooking oil.

GPS is now a mainstay of daily life, helping us with navigation, tracking, mapping, and timing across a broad spectrum of applications. But it does have a few shortcomings, most notably not being able to pass through buildings, rocks, or water. Thatâs why Japanese researchers have developed an alternative wireless navigation system that relies on cosmic rays, or muons, instead of radio waves, according to a new paper published in the journal iScience. The team has conducted its first successful test, and the system could one day be used by search and rescue teams, for example, to guide robots underwater or to help autonomous vehicles navigate underground.
âCosmic-ray muons fall equally across the Earth and always travel at the same speed regardless of what matter they traverse, penetrating even kilometers of rock,â said co-author Hiroyuki Tanaka of Muographix at the University of Tokyo in Japan. âNow, by using muons, we have developed a new kind of GPS, which we have called the muometric positioning system (muPS), which works underground, indoors and underwater.â
