Tesla cybercab push as it debunks China FSD withdrawal rumors

Tesla denied rumours that it has withdrawn its push for Full Self-Driving (FSD) in China after Chinese social media posts claimed its Shanghai data centre had been emptied and local collaboration teams had pulled out. Tesla said the centre is operating normally and hiring for driver-assistance roles is expanding, but the timing of a broad China rollout remains unclear. China was not included in Tesla’s list of 12 markets for a supervised FSD subscription offer.

If Earth warms 2 degrees C, 650 million children face an extra month of extreme heat - study

Climate change is exposing about 560 million children under 10 worldwide to at least 30 additional days of heat stress each year, a study found. That is nearly three times the number of people aged 60 to 69 facing the same level of added heat stress. The burden is concentrated in tropical, low-income regions including South and Southeast Asia and West Africa. If global warming reaches 1.5 degrees C, affected children could rise to 620 million, and to 650 million at 2 degrees C.
