Tesla FSD hits roadblocks in China and Europe on data rules and safety secrecy

Tesla’s driver-assistance system Full Self-Driving (FSD) is running into obstacles in both China and Europe. In China, tighter autonomous driving regulation and strict controls on vehicle and driving data are seen as key constraints, including limits on sending data abroad. In Europe, controversy has grown over non-disclosure of safety assessment details led by Dutch regulators, while an EU-wide approval decision remains pending and could be taken as early as October.

Russia challenges chip equipment with technology to cut wafer exposure from two weeks to five minutes

A Russian startup has unveiled multi-cathode electron-beam lithography technology that uses multiple electron beams at once to speed up semiconductor exposure. Developers said a silicon wafer could be exposed in about 5 to 7 minutes, compared with 1 to 2 weeks using a single beam. They said they have verified operation of a multi-cathode electron source, not a complete tool. Experts said industrial use would require further development, stable control and funding.

Google to build three new subsea cables linking North, Central and South America

Google will build three new large subsea cable systems linking North America, Central America and South America. The expansion uses the Dominican Republic as a central hub to increase connection capacity between the U.S. East Coast, the Caribbean and Latin America. The systems, named Alearios, Canoas and Olarus, include routes from Florida via the Dominican Republic to Panama and Chile. Google will also add a Dominican Republic landing branch to its existing Firmina cable.
