Unveiling of New Website on July 6, 2025
In a groundbreaking development, Tesla has successfully completed its first fully autonomous delivery using its advanced Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. The journey, undertaken by a Model Y, marked a significant step forward in autonomous vehicle logistics and customer experience.
Tesla's self-driving delivery process leverages its cutting-edge FSD software, which relies on AI and a camera-based system to navigate complex environments autonomously. The vehicle is programmed with the destination address and then operates without a human driver or remote operator, a testament to Tesla's commitment to autonomous driving.
The vehicle successfully navigated mixed urban and highway environments, performed highway merges, obeyed traffic signals, and parked itself at the customer's residence—all without any human intervention or remote assistance. The car reached speeds of nearly 116 km/h (about 72 mph) during the trip.
Meanwhile, NASA and Netflix have announced a new partnership that promises to bring space exploration into the comfort of homes. NASA+, the US space agency's media outlet, has made a deal with Netflix, marking a significant collaboration between the two entities. This partnership may lead to a new phrase, "NASA and chill."
The partnership will allow Netflix subscribers to access NASA's live programming, providing an immersive experience for viewers. However, the live programming will come with extra ads, ensuring that NASA continues to fund its operations.
In other news, a bizarre accident involving the transport of a wind turbine blade in Maryland caused mayhem as the Monday rush started. The steerable rear wheels of the mega-long trailer went into the eastbound lane while the rest of the truck was going west, resulting in one injury.
Meanwhile, a web-based ASCII moon-phase tracker, not included in the previous list of Telnet games, has been developed. The tracker uses ASCII art to depict the current phase of the moon and can be copied and pasted for easy use.
An interesting finding by Calvin Liang's app Dot Counter suggests that a cube holding a million one-dollar bills would be approximately 50 inches (1.27 m) on a side, assuming there are no voids inside. Making the ASCII moon-phase tracker work over Telnet might be a fun project for someone with a knack for coding.
The source code for the ASCII moon-phase tracker is available for those interested in exploring this project further. The self-driving Model Y journey covered a variety of driving situations, demonstrating the robustness of Tesla's FSD technology. As these advancements continue, we can expect to see more autonomous vehicles on our roads in the near future.
The successful autonomous delivery by Tesla's Model Y demonstrates the robustness of its FSD technology in ascending the ladder of general-news, as this groundbreaking development possibly paves the way for a technology-oriented lifestyle where programming skills could be essential in navigating complex software systems. Meanwhile, the partnership between NASA and Netflix signifies a collision of two different spheres, technology and entertainment, hinting at a 'NASA and chill' lifestyle that merges space exploration with the comfort of sports-free streaming.
