Elon Musk has confirmed that Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system now allows drivers to text and drive, though he added a caveat that it depends on the “context of surrounding traffic.”

Urban e-bike maker Tern just hit a major milestone in one of the toughest proving grounds on the planet: New York City. The company announced that its fleet partners have now logged more than one million miles (1.6 million km) using Tern electric cargo bikes for commercial delivery work in the city – a figure that reflects not only enormous demand for e-bike logistics, but also the durability of the hardware behind it.

For years, the loudest and most persistent argument coming from the Tesla camp, including Elon Musk himself, against Waymo has been simple: “Sure, it works, but it can’t scale.”
The narrative, usually pushed by those heavily invested in the promise of Tesla’s “generalized Full Self-Driving”, was that Waymo was a geofenced parlor trick.
