Colorado cops call in FBI in hunt for mysterious drones

By Trevor Mogg Published January 8, 2020

A couple of weeks ago, Digital Trends reported on police efforts to get to the bottom of a mystery involving fleets of drones flying over parts of Colorado and Nebraska.

Having failed to discover who’s behind the strange night flights, local law enforcement announced this week that it is setting up a special task force that includes the FBI in a bid to track down the person or people involved.

Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliott told the Denver Post in late December that the drones, described as being around six feet wide and with multi-colored lights, have been spotted on multiple occasions flying in various rural locations about 150 miles east of Denver.

Thee drones show up in a fleet of up to 17 machines and fly in formation as if performing a grid search, but no one knows why.

Task force

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, January 7, Phillips County Sheriff’s Office said it was stepping up its investigation.

“A strategy meeting was held today in Brush, Colorado with Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies regarding the drone issue,” the message said, adding that at this stage, none of the agencies can confirm whether the drones are malicious.

It went on: “A task force has been organized and we are asking for your assistance. Specifically, we are looking for the command vehicle. We are looking for a closed box trailer with antennas or a large van that does not belong in the area.”

Speaking to ABC News this week, Morgan County Sheriff David Martin said, “People are concerned [and] we’re going to try to get to the bottom of it.”

The Federal Aviation Administration has already said that it has no information about the apparent drone fleet, while the U.S. Army Forces Command insists it has nothing to do with it. Efforts to track the drones in vehicles have so far proved fruitless.

But Stephen Ganyard, formerly of the U.S. Marine Corps, suggested to ABC News that we were witnessing “a modern version of UFO hysteria in that people think they see something and then all of a sudden everybody thinks they see something, but they’re really seeing nothing or seeing something that will eventually be easily explained scientifically.”

Despite asking the public for help, police are warning locals not to shoot down any of the drones. Law enforcement hopes to solve the mystery without the need for such drastic action.

BYD’s cheap EVs might remain out of Canada too

BYD Han

With Chinese-made electric vehicles facing stiff tariffs in both Europe and America, a stirring question for EV drivers has started to arise: Can the race to make EVs more affordable continue if the world leader is kept out of the race?

China’s BYD, recognized as a global leader in terms of affordability, had to backtrack on plans to reach the U.S. market after the Biden administration in May imposed 100% tariffs on EVs made in China.

Tesla posts exaggerate self-driving capacity, safety regulators say

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is concerned that Tesla’s use of social media and its website makes false promises about the automaker’s full-self driving (FSD) software.
The warning dates back from May, but was made public in an email to Tesla released on November 8.
The NHTSA opened an investigation in October into 2.4 million Tesla vehicles equipped with the FSD software, following three reported collisions and a fatal crash. The investigation centers on FSD’s ability to perform in “relatively common” reduced visibility conditions, such as sun glare, fog, and airborne dust.
In these instances, it appears that “the driver may not be aware that he or she is responsible” to make appropriate operational selections, or “fully understand” the nuances of the system, NHTSA said.
Meanwhile, “Tesla’s X (Twitter) account has reposted or endorsed postings that exhibit disengaged driver behavior,” Gregory Magno, the NHTSA’s vehicle defects chief investigator, wrote to Tesla in an email.
The postings, which included reposted YouTube videos, may encourage viewers to see FSD-supervised as a “Robotaxi” instead of a partially automated, driver-assist system that requires “persistent attention and intermittent intervention by the driver,” Magno said.
In one of a number of Tesla posts on X, the social media platform owned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a driver was seen using FSD to reach a hospital while undergoing a heart attack. In another post, a driver said he had used FSD for a 50-minute ride home. Meanwhile, third-party comments on the posts promoted the advantages of using FSD while under the influence of alcohol or when tired, NHTSA said.
Tesla’s official website also promotes conflicting messaging on the capabilities of the FSD software, the regulator said.
NHTSA has requested that Tesla revisit its communications to ensure its messaging remains consistent with FSD’s approved instructions, namely that the software provides only a driver assist/support system requiring drivers to remain vigilant and maintain constant readiness to intervene in driving.
Tesla last month unveiled the Cybercab, an autonomous-driving EV with no steering wheel or pedals. The vehicle has been promoted as a robotaxi, a self-driving vehicle operated as part of a ride-paying service, such as the one already offered by Alphabet-owned Waymo.
But Tesla’s self-driving technology has remained under the scrutiny of regulators. FSD relies on multiple onboard cameras to feed machine-learning models that, in turn, help the car make decisions based on what it sees.
Meanwhile, Waymo’s technology relies on premapped roads, sensors, cameras, radar, and lidar (a laser-light radar), which might be very costly, but has met the approval of safety regulators.

Waymo, Nexar present AI-based study to protect ‘vulnerable’ road users

waymo data vulnerable road users ml still 1 ea18c3

Robotaxi operator Waymo says its partnership with Nexar, a machine-learning tech firm dedicated to improving road safety, has yielded the largest dataset of its kind in the U.S., which will help inform the driving of its own automated vehicles.

As part of its latest research with Nexar, Waymo has reconstructed hundreds of crashes involving what it calls ‘vulnerable road users’ (VRUs), such as pedestrians walking through crosswalks, biyclists in city streets, or high-speed motorcycle riders on highways.
