Tech: Tesla's robotaxi service prepares to roll out in Austin

More robotaxis are headed to the streets  

Tesla is starting a robotaxi service in Austin in June. They'll be fully autonomous, with no human driver behind the wheel. As far as we know, these will be standard Teslas using just cameras to understand their surroundings. That's unlike Waymo and others which use Lidar radar technology.  

Tesla has been testing out the full driverless function in San Francisco, but with a safety driver behind the wheel. They’ve also enabled self-driving at the Tesla factory so when a car is complete it drives itself to the loading dock.

Sims & Sims 2 are being re-released  

To celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary, the two games are being re-released. If you want to dive into some nostalgia, Windows 10 and 11 users can download from Electronic Arts or Steam. No love for Mac users though.  

Did you know there's a Sims movie in the works? No release date yet, but it's expected sometime this year.

Mark Zuckerberg is annoyed by leaks  

Facebook/Meta has typically been very open with staff hosting Q&As at regular Town Halls, often giving unscripted and unfiltered thoughts and observations. But Mark is watching what he says now because the leaks are being too frequent. Their head of security said in a leaked memo that they will fire staffers who leak.
