Google has planned an event on 29 October in New York as rumored last week. It has completed sending out the invitations to the press. If the recent rumors turn out to be true, Google might reveal the new Nexus phone and tablet during next 10 days.

The event is expected to bring reports on the Android 4.1 updates, and may be mentioning about the upcoming Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie OS.

The invitation features Google search bar gadget from Android with ‘the playground is open’ cryptic message. New York City skyline image is the company’s logo behind the invitation.

The press conference will commence at 10 am ET (3 pm in UK) and will also have a live streaming in Android and Youtube.com. There are diverse reports on Nexus phone; the rumor is thatit will feature a 4.7 inch screen. But it refers to “Nexus 4” from leaked pictures that might have 4-inch display if it adopts the naming convention like Nexus 7 tablet. The news is that the new Nexus is designed by LG, and shares some features of LG’s Optimus G. Reports suggest that HTC has also been working on the new Nexus 5 tablet.

The rumour hints that there may be a drop in price for both Nexus 7 and the high-end model Nexus 10. The price of the 32 GB version of Nexus 7 is $199.It might be dropping to $99. If the rumour holds true then Google would definitely lose money on each mobile sold.

The new device will feature a screen that comes with a high-resolution display when compared to the third generation iPad. The pixel resolution of iPad is 2048x1536pixels and for Nexus it is 2560×1600 pixels. The sharp screen makes a strong selling point for Nexus against the new iPad.

Tesla, Inc. (TSLA): US agencies investigate fatal Tesla Model 3 crash in Florida

Published

on

American safety officials are looking into the circumstances surrounding another fatal Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) crash. Both the NTSB and the NHTSA have confirmed that they’re investigating a collision between a Model 3 and a semi truck in Delray Beach, Florida on March 1st. According to the police report, the truck was turning left to enter a main thoroughfare when the Model 3 crashed into the semi’s trailer, shearing off the car’s roof and killing the driver. It’s not certain if Autopilot was active, although the Model 3 kept traveling for more than 500 yards before coming to a stop.

Why ASDN Could Massively Outperform TSLA in 2019

Tesla said in a statement that it was “deeply saddened” about the collision and was “reaching out” to authorities to cooperate. The NTSB added that it typically takes one to two years to complete investigations like this.

This certainly isn’t the first time US safety agencies have investigated Tesla crashes to determine the possible role of Autopilot. However, there are unusually close parallels to a deadly incident from May 2016, when a Model S driver in Florida struck a trailer. His vehicle had Autopilot engaged and also kept going a significant distance after the crash, although investigators cleared Tesla and noted that the driver in that case ignored safety warnings. While the particular circumstances are different, it wouldn’t be out of the question for agents to compare the two cases.
