In a conference call on Wednesday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced fully autonomous self-driving cars by the end of 2017.
Current Teslas (yes, including the Model 3) being produced in Fremont, California, would be equipped with the “hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver,” Musk said.
The full announcement:
We are excited to announce that, as of today, all Tesla vehicles produced in our factory — including Model 3 — will have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver. Eight surround cameras provide 360-degree visibility around the car at up to 250 meters of range. Twelve updated ultrasonic sensors complement this vision, allowing for detection of both hard and soft objects at nearly twice the distance of the prior system. A forward-facing radar with enhanced processing provides additional data about the world on a redundant wavelength, capable of seeing through heavy rain, fog, dust and even the car ahead.
To make sense of all of this data, a new onboard computer with more than 40 times the computing power of the previous generation runs the new Tesla-developed neural net for vision, sonar and radar processing software. Together, this system provides a view of the world that a driver alone cannot access, seeing in every direction simultaneously and on wavelengths that go far beyond the human senses.
.
Musk also frowned upon the media criticism of self-driving technology. “Writing an article that’s negative, you’re effectively dissuading people from using autonomous vehicles, you’re killing people,” he said.

These posters from #GOPHandsOffMe rallies are the perfect indictment against Donald Trump

On Tuesday, crowds of women across the country synced up for one big goal: to get the Republican Party to disavow, denounce and unendorse the sexist, xenophobic pussy-grabber Donald Trump.
Women of all ages — and some men, too — dressed in black, and according to Jezebel, chanted “Donald thinks he runs this town, pussy came to shut it down!” They also shouted “GOP, hands off me!”
The #GOPHandsOffMe rallies took place in New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Boston, Denver, Seattle and Oakland, California.
Yong Jung Cho, 26, is one of the main organizer for the protests. She says the #GOPHandsOffMe rallies, primarily organized women of color and survivors of sexual assault, are a response to the policies pushed by the GOP in the last five decades.

I want a divided America

Halfway through Sunday’s presidential debate in St. Louis, Donald Trump turned to his audience.
“We have a very divided nation,” he said. “We have a divided nation because people like her” — he pointed at Hillary Clinton for effect — “and believe me: She has tremendous hate in her heart.”
In this election, as in others past, calling the other candidate “divisive” is a go-to insult. George W. Bush famously described himself as “a uniter, not a divider” during his first presidential primary campaign. Mitt Romney condemned President Barack Obama in similar terms when he ran against him in 2012.
“Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago,” he said during a campaign stop in Ohio.
To be divisive, the logic goes, is to be incapable of getting Americans on the same page so you can lead them. It is an impediment to progress, which relies on the ideal that we remain — even against steep odds — “one nation … indivisible.”

Trump’s Shocking Answer On Respecting Election Results Is The Only Debate Moment That Matters

Donald Trump was on his way to his best performance in a presidential debate Wednesday night ― right up to the moment when he refused, twice, to say he would respect the results of November’s presidential election.
It overshadowed everything else that happened on the stage in Las Vegas and arguably told voters everything they need to know about the Republican nominee for president.
Trump’s answer shouldn’t have surprised anybody. For the last two weeks or so, Trump has been going on and on about “rigged” elections, riling up his supporters by warning that Hillary Clinton and her allies were trying to steal the election.
The argument has drawn widespread condemnation, even from fellow Republicans ― partly because his warnings of ballot stuffing in heavily minority cities have such obvious racial overtones, and partly because his pre-emptive questioning of the election results is way outside of the norms of American politics.

Of Course Michael Moore Has Been Making A Secret Film About Trump This Whole Time

Michael Moore was everywhere during the 2004 presidential election. His scathing anti-Bush documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” was released months before polls opened, he went on the road to swing states on a national speaking tour, and happily drew the ire of almost every Republican in the game.
Twelve years later, Moore is still outspoken ― he’s publicly denounced Donald Trump many times and in many different ways ― but has stayed somewhat on the sidelines this election season … at least that’s what we thought.
On Tuesday morning, the filmmaker announced his new film, “Michael Moore in TrumpLand,” via a Twitter screenshot of Trump’s children taken in an editing studio. The film takes inspiration from Moore’s one-man show, which he meant to perform in Newark, Ohio, earlier this month, until he claimed he was banned from the theater.

North Korea Warns It Would Use Nuclear Weapons First If Threatened

North Korea has warned that it may carry out further nuclear tests and says it is prepared to launch a preemptive strike on the United States if U.S. nuclear forces mobilize against it.
“The U.S. has nuclear weapons off our coast, targeting our country, our capital and our Dear Leader, Kim Jong Un,” a top North Korean official, Lee Yong Pil, said in an exclusive interview with NBC News.
“We will not step back as long as there’s a nuclear threat to us from the United States,” added Lee, who is director of the Foreign Ministry’s Institute for American Studies.
“A preemptive nuclear strike is not something the U.S. has a monopoly on,” he said. “If we see that the U.S. would do it to us, we would do it first. … We have the technology.”

Donald Trump Has Taken The ‘Shackles’ Off. The Final Debate Could Be The Ugliest Yet.

The final presidential debate here on Wednesday is teed up to be one of the nastiest and dirtiest in recent memory. Donald Trump is desperately trying to regain ground as he attacks women accusing him of sexual assault and sets up his supporters to believe that if Hillary Clinton wins, it means the election was rigged.
Trump is set to encounter a boisterous and hostile reception when he steps off his plane in Las Vegas. Workers at his own hotel will be picketing before and after their shifts on Tuesday, and union members will be constructing a wall of taco trucks outside his hotel on the day of the debate ― a reminder that it’s not only women he’s offended.
Clinton will also find resistance in this battleground state, as an ad in the local newspaper, shared by a Huffington Post reader, makes clear. The ad urges people to buy guns before “Crooked Hillary” wins in November.

Republicans May Block Any Of Clinton’s Supreme Court Nominees, McCain Says

The main pretext Republican senators have offered for leaving open the Supreme Court seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia is that the next president, not Barack Obama, should be the one to fill it.
But now that his party’s nominee, Donald Trump, seems headed for a loss in November, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) appears to be changing his tune ― and may be signaling that more unprecedented obstruction is on the horizon if Hillary Clinton wins the White House.
“I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up. I promise you,” McCain said Monday, according to CNN.

The person who likely cares least about Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize win is Bob Dylan

Few living artists have been as deeply mythologized as Bob Dylan — and few artists seemed to have despised it more.
Critics and authors have pinned him with nearly every grandiose title in the book, seemingly trying to match his fascinating folk poetry: “prophet,” “mystic,” “the 20th century’s Shakespeare.” But as much as our country tried to yoke him with the mantle of “spokesman” or the “voice of a generation,” Dylan always seemed to find away to slip out of it.
“You feel like an imposter when someone thinks you’re something and you’re not,” Dylan once told Ed Bradley in a 2004 60 Minutes interview, decrying labels like “prophet” and “voice of a generation.” “You’re just not that person everybody thinks you are, though they call you that all the time. ‘You’re the prophet. You’re the savior.’ I never wanted to be a prophet or savior. Elvis maybe — I could easily see myself becoming him. But prophet? No.”
