The civil suit seeks sanctions and court orders rather than criminal charges. AG James Uthmeier said the lawsuit “seeks to hold Altman personally responsible for the harm he caused Floridians through his reckless…
These days, product leaks usually come from journalists and analysts with sources in the supply chain or from people snooping on websites. It’s been a long time since an Apple employee accidentally left a prototype iPhone 4 in a bar for it to end up in the hands of Gizmodo.

The offer is only available in China and valid for one year after delivery. BYD walks the talk when it comes to its autonomous driving technology. At an event last week announcing its latest developments in smart driving chips, the Chinese electric vehicle maker said it would offer comprehensive damage coverage to anyone using the Urban Navigate on Autopilot feature on the latest God’s Eye 5.0 driver assistance system. Unsurprisingly, the offer is only available to BYD owners in China. According to BYD, the company will “directly cover all resulting economic losses” if a driver uses the Urban Navigate…
