not driving itself with deployed Tesla technology. .

in part of a lawsuit against Tesla for a fatal
2018 crash involving a former Apple engineer.
NBC reports that the video
in question is still archived
on Tesla's website.
The video's tagline claims that , “The person in the driver’s seat
is only there for legal reasons. He is not
doing anything. The car is driving itself.”.
However, according to Elluswamy,
the video was created by using
3D mapping on a predetermined route. .
Elluswamy's testimony also reportedly
details how drivers intervened to take
control of cars used in the test runs. .
According to Elluswamy's testimony, when trying to
demonstrate the Model X's ability to park itself without a
driver, the car crashed into a fence in the Tesla parking lot.
The company's website also states that Tesla technology is
designed to assist with driving and emphasizes that the features , “do not make the vehicle autonomous.”

Report Finds Big Tech, Transparency Reports , Fall Short.
'Fast Company' reports that Big Tech regularly
releases data meant to offer transparency into
how the world's largest platforms are being run.
This data often shares actions companies take
against inappropriate content and when they help
law enforcement at the request of governments. .
A new analysis by academics at the University of Zurich
and the University of Bern found that few tech companies
follow principles they have previously espoused.
It’s good to be well-informed about
what is happening. And right now,
it’s impossible in many aspects,
which I guess might lead to over-
and under-regulation of the platforms, Aleksandra Urman, University of Zurich, via 'Fast Company'.
I think it’s not entirely obvious
what Apple would be taking down.
But actually, Apple does moderate
its App Store, for example.
We just don’t know how, Aleksandra Urman, University of Zurich, via 'Fast Company'.
Similarly, the report found that Amazon moderates
what books are sold on its site, however the process
of deeming books inappropriate remains unknown.
The report also found that companies like Microsoft, LinkedIn and Twitch adhered to some of
the transparency guidelines but not all.

Liam McLoughlin at the University of Liverpool suggests
that the findings of the report reinforces the idea that
transparency reports are closely related to public relations.

Some might call me cynical
on this,but when we think of
transparency reports as primarily
a public relations mechanism,
it all makes sense, Liam McLoughlin, at the University of Liverpool, via 'Fast Company'

NASA Chief Says China Could Claim the Moon , if It Beats the US to Its Surface.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson gave an interview with Politico that was published on Jan. 1.
He said that China's military aggression in the
South China Sea could allude to the future of the moon.
Specifically, if China makes it back to the moon's surface before the U.S., it may attempt to claim it as its own territory. .
It is a fact: we're in a space race. And it is true that we better watch out that they don't get to a place on the moon under the guise of scientific research. , Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico.
And it is not beyond the realm of possibility that they say, 'Keep out, we're here, this is our territory.' If you doubt that, look at what they did with the Spratly Islands, Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico.
China's new space station, Tiangong,
was recently completed.
Beijing intends to conduct three moon missions over the next decade.
The country also claims it discovered a
new potential energy source on the moon.
NASA plans to land astronauts on the moon by 2025 with its Artemis 3 mission that it is working on with SpaceX.
I ask the question every day: 'How is SpaceX's progress?' And all of our managers are telling me they are meeting all of their milestones, Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico
