Tesla Cybercab Has Hidden Virtual Joystick for Manual Control, Riders Discover

The Tesla Cybercab, which launched in Austin, Texas, was designed without a steering wheel or pedals, making it appear fully autonomous with no manual override. However, within days of its public launch, riders discovered a hidden virtual joystick on the vehicle's central display. The feature, found in the lower-left corner of the screen, includes a toggle for manual driving and appears to be intended exclusively for Tesla employees. At least two videos shared on X have shown Cybercab passengers encountering the concealed control interface. The discovery reveals that the vehicle does have a form of manual control, contrary to its fully driverless design premise.

Microsoft sets third Patch Tuesday record in months as AI uncovers vulnerabilities fast

Microsoft is expected to set another Patch Tuesday record, marking the third such milestone within just a few months. The surge in security patches is being driven by AI models that are identifying software vulnerabilities at an unusually rapid pace. The trend began in April when Anthropic's Mythos model reportedly found security flaws across every major operating system and web browser. OpenAI subsequently released its own cybersecurity-focused model to select partners, further accelerating vulnerability discovery. The heightened workload has made this summer unexpectedly hectic for Microsoft's Windows and security engineering teams.

Google DeepMind Launches AlphaGenome Atlas to Map Every Possible DNA Change

Google DeepMind has introduced AlphaGenome Atlas, an AI-powered tool designed to map every possible DNA letter change across the human genome. The platform aims to deepen scientific understanding of biology and potentially accelerate the development of new disease treatments. Announced in a blog post on Tuesday, the tool creates a predictive map based on the human genome's roughly 3 billion chemical letter pairs. DNA is encoded using four chemical letters — A, C, G, and T — which together carry the biological instructions that define human life. Researchers believe the atlas could help unlock longstanding mysteries of the genome and transform how scientists approach genetic research.

The same report suggests Intel may also cut an additional 5 to 10 percent of its workforce, though new hires could be brought on simultaneously. Intel is also said to be considering placing its Small Core product line on end-of-life status, a move that would primarily affect industrial PC markets.

Adobe Integrates AI Media Generation Directly Into Premiere Pro Timeline

Adobe is revamping its AI tools in Premiere Pro with a new feature called Generative Media, designed to streamline how video editors access AI-powered content creation. The update allows editors to generate video clips, sound effects, music, and soundscapes without leaving the project timeline. Rather than introducing entirely new AI generators, the key improvement lies in making existing tools far more accessible within the editing workflow. Editors can now select an empty gap on a video or audio track and instantly generate context-aware, editable content in place. The change aims to reduce interruptions caused by switching between external apps or browsers to source missing footage or audio.
