Brian Nowak: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Brian Nowak, Morgan Stanley's Head of U.S. Internet Research. Andrew Percoco: And I'm Andrew Percoco, Head of North America Autos and Shared Mobility Research. Brian Nowak: Today we're going to talk about why we think 2026 could be a game changer and a point of inflection for autonomous vehicles and autonomous driving. It's Thursday, January 8th at 10am in New York. So, Andrew, let's get started. Have you ridden an autonomous car before? Andrew Percoco: Yeah, absolutely. Took a few in L.A., took one in San Francisco not too long ago. Pretty seamless and interesting experience to say the least. Brian Nowak: Any accidents or awkward left turns? Or did you feel pretty comfortable the whole time? Andrew Percoco: No, I felt pretty comfortable the whole time. No edge cases, no issues. So, all five star reviews for me. Brian Nowak: Andrew, we think your answer is going to be a lot more common as we go throughout 2026. As autonomous availability scales throughout more and more cities. Things are changing quickly. And we kind of look at our model on a city-by-city basis. We think that overall availability for autonomous driving in the U.S. is going to go from about 15 percent of the urban population at the end of 2025 to over 30 percent of the urban population by year end 2026. Andrew Percoco: Yeah, totally agree. Brian, I'm just curious. Like maybe layout for us, you know, what you're expecting for 2026 in more detail in terms of city rollouts, players involved and what we should be watching for throughout the next, you know, nine to 12 months. Brian Nowak: We have multiple new cities across the United States where we expect Waymo, Tesla, Zoox, and others to expand their fleet, expand autonomous driving availability, and ultimately make the product a lot more available and commonplace for people. There are also new potential edge cases that we think we're going to see. We're going to have our first snow cities with Waymo expected to launch in Washington, D.C.; potentially in Colorado, potentially in Michigan. So, we could have proof of concept that autonomous driving can also work in snow throughout [20]26 and into 2027 as well. So, in all, we think as we sit here at the start of [20]26, one year from now, there's going to be a lot more people who are going to say: I'm using an autonomous car to drive me around in my everyday practice. Andrew Percoco: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And I guess, what do you think the drivers are to get us there, right? There's also some concerns about safety, adoption, you know, cost structure. What are the main drivers that really make this growth algorithm work and really scales the robotaxi business for some of the key players? Brian Nowak: Part of it is regulatory. You know, we are still in a situation where we are dealing with state-by-state regulatory approvals needed for these autonomous vehicles and autonomous fleets to be built. We'll see if that changes, but for now, it's state by state regulation. After that, it comes down to technology, and each of the platforms needs to prove that their autonomous offerings are significantly safer than human driving. That is also linked to regulatory approval. And so, when we think about fleets becoming safer, proving that they can drive people more miles without having an accident than even a human can – we think about the autonomous players then scaling up their fleets. To make the cars and fleets available to more people. That is sort of the flywheel that we think is going to play out throughout 2026. The other part that we're very focused on across all the players from Waymo to Tesla to Zoox and others is the cost of the cars. And there is a big difference between the cost of a Waymo per mile versus the cost of a Tesla per mile. And we think one of the tension points, Andrew, that you can, you can talk about a little bit here, is the difference in the safety data and what we see on Tesla as of now versus Waymo – versus the cost advantage that Tesla has. So, talk about the cost advantage that Tesla has through all this as of right now. Andrew Percoco: Yeah, definitely. So, you know, as you mentioned, Tesla today has a very clear cost advantage over many of the robotaxi peers that they're competing with. A lot of that's driven by their vertical integration, and their sensor suite, right? So, their vehicle, the cost of their vehicle is – call it $35,000. You've got the camera only sensor approach. So, you don't have lidar, expensive lidar, and radar in the vehicle. And that's just really driven a meaningful cost improvement and cost advantage. On our math about a 40 percent cost advantage relative to Waymo today. Now going forward, you know, as you mentioned, I think the key hurdle here or bottleneck, that Tesla still needs to prove is their safety. And can they reach the same safety standards as a human driver? And, you know, the improvement that you've seen from Waymo. You know, to put some numbers around this. Based on publicly available data in Austin, Tesla's getting in a crash, you know, every about, call it every 50,000 miles; Waymo is closer to every 400,000 miles per crash. So today, Waymo is the leader on safety.I think the one important caveat that I want to mention here is that's on a relatively small number of miles driven for Tesla. They've only driven about 250,000 miles in Austin, whereas Waymo's driven close to, I think, a hundred million miles cumulatively. So, when you look back, I think this is going to be the kind of key catalyst and key data point for investors to watch is – how that data improves over the course of 2026. If you track Waymo – Waymo's data improved substantially as their miles driven improved, and as they launched into new cities.We'd expect Tesla to follow a similar trend. But that's going to be a huge catalyst in validating this camera only approach. If that happens, Tesla's not limited in scale, they're not limited in manufacturing capacity. You can meaningfully see them expand… Or you can see them expand quite quickly once they prove out that safety requirement. Brian Nowak: I think it's a great point because, you know, one of the other big debates that we are all going to have to monitor in the AV space throughout 2026 is: How quickly does Tesla completely pull the safety drivers, and how quickly do they scale up production of the vehicles? Because one of the bank shots around autonomous driving is actually the rideshare industry. You know, we have partnerships; some partnerships between Waymo and Uber and Waymo and Lyft. But Tesla is not partnering with anyone. And so, I think the extent to which we see a faster than expected ramp up in deployment from Tesla can have a lot of impact. Not only on autonomous adoption, competition with Waymo, but also the rideshare industry.So how do you think about the puts and takes on Tesla and sort of removing the drivers and scaling up the fleet this year? What should we be watching? Andrew Percoco: Yeah, so they've already made some strides there in Austin. They've pulled the safety monitor. They haven't opened that up to the public yet without the safety monitor. They're still testing, presumably in that geography. They need to be extremely careful in terms of, you know, the regulatory compliance and making sure they're doing this in a safe way. Ultimately that's what matters most to them. We do expect them to roll it out to the public without the safety monitor in 2026. Whether or not, that's the first quarter or the third quarter – is a little bit tougher to predict. But I think it's reasonable to assume whatever the timeline is, they're going to make sure it's the safest way possible to ensure that there's, you know, no unintended consequences as it relates to regulation, et cetera. I think one, also; one important data point or interesting data point here. You know, we model, I think, a 100 percent CAGR in miles driven, autonomous miles driven through 2032. You can talk a little bit about, you know, what the implications for rideshare, but I think important. It's important to contextualize that would still only represent less than 1 percent of total U.S. miles driven in the U.S. So substantial growth over the next, call it six or seven years. But still a massive TAM to be tapped into beyond 2032. And I think the key there is – what's the cost reduction roadmap look like? And can we get robotaxis to a point where they are cheaper than personal car ownership? And could robotaxis at some point disrupt the car ownership process? Brian Nowak: Yeah. And the other more important point around rideshare will be how much do these autonomous offerings expand the addressable market for rideshare and prove to be incremental? As opposed to being cannibalistic on existing ride share rides. Because you're right that, you know, even our out year autonomous projections still have it less than 1 percent of the total trips. But the question is how much does that add to ride share? Because in some scenarios, those autonomous trips could end up being 20 to 30 percent of the rideshare industry. This matters for Uber and Lyft because while they are partnering Waymo and other autonomous players across a handful of markets, they're not partnered in all the markets. And in some markets, Waymo is going alone. Tesla is going at it alone. And so when we look at our model and we say as of 2024, Uber and Lyft make up 100 percent of the ride share industry based on the current partnerships, which includes Waymo and Tesla and all; and Zoox and all the players, we think that Uber and Lyft will only make up 30 percent of the autonomous driving market. And so it's really important for the rideshare industry that when, number one, we see AV's being incremental to the TAM; and two, that Uber and Lyft are able to continue to add more partnerships over time to drive more of that overall long-term AV opportunity and participate in all this rideshare industry over the next five years. Andrew Percoco: I think it's really clear that the future of autonomous vehicles is here and we've reached an inflection point; and there's a lot of interesting catalysts and data points for us and for investors to watch for throughout 2026.So Brian, thanks again for taking the time to talk.

Two major cases are moving through the system right now, and both hinge on questions that haven't been publicly answered.Sarah Grace Patrick's murder trial begins today. She's seventeen, accused of shooting her mother Kristin and stepfather James Brock while they slept in their Carroll County, Georgia home. The five-year-old sister found them. Sarah dialed 911 and then spent five months posting emotional videos, contacting true crime podcasters, and grieving publicly in ways that made investigators suspicious. They arrested her in July, claiming mountains of evidence. But no murder weapon has been confirmed. No motive has been disclosed. Her defense says they're still waiting on discovery. Her grandfather—who buried his own daughter—says the case against Sarah doesn't hold up. The prosecution's key witness? The little sister, now six years old.In California, the D4VD grand jury continues building toward a potential indictment. Celeste Rivas Hernandez's body was found in the trunk of his Tesla after decomposing for over a month. The cause of death remains deferred. But prosecutor Beth Silverman isn't waiting for the medical examiner to make this easy. She's grinding through witnesses—including D4VD's manager, who reportedly testified for days and was overheard saying his priority after learning about the body was keeping the tour running. A female witness failed to show and now faces a body attachment. D4VD has allegedly transferred properties, broken his lease, and gone completely silent.FBI veteran Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down both cases with the precision of someone who's built these investigations from the ground up.#TrueCrimeToday #SarahGracePatrickTrial #D4VDGrandJury #CelesteRivas #FBIAnalysis #MurderTrial #BreakingCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #GeorgiaMurder #LosAngelesCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Sarah Grace Patrick murder trial begins January 5th in Carroll County, Georgia. She's seventeen years old, charged with killing her mother Kristin and stepfather James Brock in their sleep. Her little sister—five years old at the time—discovered the bodies. Sarah made the 911 call. Then came the TikToks, the outreach to true crime creators, the eulogy that made investigators uncomfortable. Five months later, she was in handcuffs. Prosecutors say they have "mountains of evidence." Her grandfather says nobody has put the gun in her hand.In Los Angeles, musician D4VD remains silent while a grand jury hears witness after witness in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her body was found in the trunk of his Tesla after sitting there for over a month in summer heat. Inside his Hollywood rental, investigators found a chainsaw never removed from its protective sheath and a burn cage incinerator still in the box. PI Steve Fischer says the plan got upended. The cause of death is still officially deferred. But prosecutor Beth Silverman is pushing forward—and the people in D4VD's orbit are starting to feel the pressure. His manager testified for days. A witness skipped her appearance and now faces a body attachment. Properties have been transferred.

“Step sounds in a game is a sample being repeated, and then people start to make little variations in pitch of this sample. And then they became increasingly sophisticated with middleware, and so a whole set of software emerged, a type of software game, audio middleware, that serves only the purpose of making sound, usually sample-based sounds, pleasurable to use in an interactive context. And there are many different strategies, layering, adaptive mixing, even spectral shaping and stuff like that. And, of course, generative approaches as well are coming in, and that's so interesting.” – Daniel Hug This episode is the second half of my conversation with sound and interaction designer, researcher, and head of the Sound Design MA at Zurich University of the Arts, Daniel Hug, as we talk about what the Avengers and Matrix movies can teach us about sound design, how video games helped pave the way for audio-first UX, and the importance of learning not just music but the language of sound.

(0:00:00) - The Evolution of Sound DesignAs we start the second half of our discussion, Daniel and I talk about how Hollywood blockbusters have shown that a strong first impression can have diminishing returns, and how video-game design demonstrates the value of planning for repetition when it comes to sound. “Game sound, I always say, it has taught me probably the most about interactive or use-oriented sound design,” he explains. “Although you would not expect it from there, it's not product sound design, it has nothing to do with cars or appliances or whatever, but it's the [same] basic mechanisms. It's about interaction.” We talk about his work on electric vehicle soundscapes and the sound designs in sci-fi movies that helped shape his design philosophy. “The sound of the car changes based on the way I press the gas pedal,” he says. “So if I'm being too aggressive, the sound can actually tell me, make me feel that, oh, now you're overdoing it. And that's what a film sound designer would do in a science-fiction film.”(0:14:37) - Empowering Sound Design for Everyday LifeDaniel tells us more about the considerations that go into automobile sound design, including legal concerns that go well beyond the car's interior. “In Europe,” he tells us, “they have this regulation that from zero to thirty you have to have some noise generator. So even Teslas have, since, I don't know how many years, but eventually they started to make noise as well.” We talk about how COVID and the shift to virtual spaces and online content brought more attention to sound design, and how the language to describe sounds is still evolving. “We have all kinds of visual languages that are established and normative, so to say,” he explains. “They tell us how to think, or to think of a certain image. In sound, especially if it's non-musical, this is often missing. We have to come up with something.” Episode...

Two cases. Two teenagers. Two very different paths through the justice system—both now marked by delay and uncertainty.Seventeen-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick was expected to head toward trial in Carroll County, Georgia, accused of killing her mother, Kristin, and stepfather, James Brock, while they slept in their home. Instead, her case has been delayed—prolonging questions that have lingered for months.Sarah's five-year-old sister discovered the bodies. Sarah made the 911 call. In the months that followed, she posted emotional TikToks, contacted true-crime creators, and delivered a funeral eulogy investigators later described as “odd.” After five months, she was arrested. Prosecutors claim they have “mountains of physical and digital evidence.” But publicly available details remain limited: no confirmed murder weapon, no disclosed motive, and no forensic evidence released that definitively places the gun in Sarah's hand. Even her grandfather—who lost his daughter in this case—has said the evidence he's seen does not answer that central question.Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the grand jury investigation involving D4VD continues behind closed doors, with witnesses expected through February. Investigators recovered a chainsaw that appears unused, a burn-cage incinerator still unopened, and a Tesla left parked on a residential street for weeks—containing the decomposing body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her cause of death remains officially listed as “deferred,” but prosecutors are actively building a case.Los Angeles prosecutor Beth Silverman is pressing forward as pressure mounts around D4VD's inner circle. His manager testified before the grand jury for days. A key female witness failed to appear and now faces a body attachment order. Properties have reportedly been transferred. Tours canceled. Projects paused. And D4VD himself has gone silent.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to break down what investigators are actually seeing in both cases—the evidence that exists, the evidence that doesn't, and what it means when prosecutors move forward with circumstantial cases involving teenagers while timelines stretch and public scrutiny intensifies.This isn't about social media narratives. It's about what prosecutors believe they can prove—and what juries may eventually be asked to decide.#SarahGracePatrick #D4VD #CelesteRivas #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #GrandJury #FBIAnalysis #CriminalCasesJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1237: Today we're talking about BMW and Mercedes battling it out at CES with next-gen AI, a surprising sedan surge in the used market, and how ChatGPT is causing headaches for doctors and lawyers alike.Show Notes with links: https://lnkd.in/dNJMNGBkTwo German giants are trading blows in Las Vegas. CES has become a high-tech battleground for BMW and Mercedes-Benz as they push the envelope on AI and digital experiences in their latest vehicles.BMW is the first automaker to integrate Amazon's Alexa+ AI into its Intelligent Personal Assistant.Launching with the BMW iX3 in 2026, the assistant offers conversational voice interactions and can handle multiple queries at once.Users can link Amazon accounts to access streaming and news directly through the assistant.The AI is central to BMW's Neue Klasse EV platform, with CES once again serving as its innovation stage.“The vehicle becomes an intelligent companion for its users,” said Stephan Durach, SVP at BMW Group.https://lnkd.in/eb_v_mY6Are sedans back in style? Pickup trucks still rule the used car market, but a surprising sedan surge and shifting EV dynamics brought a few fresh twists to 2025's top sellers.The Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500 held onto the top three spots.Chevy Malibu shot up from No. 29 to No. 8, likely due to rental fleet sell-offs after GM ended production.Toyota Corolla cracked the top 10 at No. 9; Equinox and Camry stayed strong.Tesla continues to dominate used EV sales, with Model 3 and Model Y leading.VW ID.4 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 made big jumps, while the Chevy Bolt slid to No. 7.“The rankings show minimal variations from 2024, though the dominance of full-size trucks is shrinking,” said iSeeCars analyst Karl Brauer.https://lnkd.in/eWeNSd7aChatGPT Is the New WebMD, And It's Driving Experts Crazy. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are becoming the go-to for legal and medical questions, giving everyone a second opinion—but not always the right one.AI is now widely used for symptom checking, legal strategy, and even therapy prep.One in three Americans consult AI weekly for health advice; 57% use it or would for legal issues.Professionals report clients showing up with AI-generated legal gameplans or diagnoses—often filled with emojis.AI's authority and 24/7 availability make it feel more trustworthy and convenient than waiting weeks for an expert.“We have to dispel the information clients were able to obtain vs what is actually going on and kind of work backwards,” said New Jersey attorney Jamie Berger.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this episode of China Decode, Alice Han and James Kynge break down Beijing's response to Trump's sudden takeover of Venezuela — a move that hits China's energy interests, loans, and influence in Latin America, and raises the stakes far beyond oil. Then they turn to the EV race, where BYD has overtaken Tesla for the first time, signaling a potential power shift in the global auto industry. And finally, they look at China's quieter — but surprising — rise as a luxury food superpower, from caviar to truffles, and what it says about trade, consumption, and state-backed strategy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

As we head into 2026, electricity grids aren't just under strain; they are facing transformational change because of the shifts in the ways that we work, entertain ourselves, and get around. EVs are one of the fastest-growing new loads on the grid in many parts of the world, but are also one of the least well-understood. They can exhibit flexibility that's mostly going unused today. Millions of EVs are already connected to the grid, and they're being treated as a problem instead of a solution. So how could they be used to ease that strain on electricity grids? What would it look like if we could turn EVs into really useful distributed energy resources (DERs)? Host Ed Crooks welcomes Apoorv Bhargava to the show for the first time. Apoorv is the CEO and co-founder of WeaveGrid, a company aiming to make EVs and other DERs function like dependable infrastructure for distribution grids. It wants provide utilities with trusted, repeatable, edge-level control of assets, rather than occasional, system-level demand response. Apoorv explains how it all works.Apoorv is a former student of regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, who now teaches at New York University. She joins the show to argue that there is still a great deal of uncertainty around claims of using flexibility to reinforce. It isn't a black-and-white question, she says: flexibility only works when it's engineered, trusted and planned for at the distribution level, not improvised through emergency demand response. Together Ed, Apoorv and Amy debate how EVs and grids might be able to work together in the future, instead of against each other. They discuss consumer behaviour, politics and concerns over rising power bills as factors that will matter just as much as the evolution of the technology. The biggest grid upgrade opportunity may not be new wires, transformers or even power plants: it could be the Tesla, VW or BYD in your driveway.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The cause of death is still listed as "deferred." The body was too decomposed to easily identify. There's no eyewitness, no confession, no official homicide ruling. And yet prosecutors are moving forward with a grand jury that has full authority to indict D4VD for murder.So what do they have?In Part 1 of this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the physical evidence in the Celeste Rivas case and explains what investigators are likely seeing. A chainsaw found with its protective sheath still on. A burn cage incinerator still boxed. PI Steve Fischer's assessment that "the plan got upended" and Celeste "was not meant to be left in that Tesla."We examine the timeline: last confirmed alive January 2nd, 2025. Tesla parked in its final spot July 29th—allegedly the same day D4VD left for tour. Body discovered September 8th. Jennifer explains what a timeline like this tells investigators, how decomposition affects forensic analysis, and why prosecutors pushed to seal the autopsy findings.We also discuss how murder cases built entirely on circumstantial evidence succeed—or fail—and what toxicology results could mean for the charges prosecutors ultimately pursue.D4VD has not been arrested or charged. He remains presumed innocent. But Jennifer Coffindaffer helps us understand how prosecutors build a case when the evidence doesn't speak for itself.Part 2 covers the grand jury and D4VD's inner circle.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A chainsaw that was never used. A burn cage incinerator still in the box. A Tesla parked on a residential street for over a month with a teenage girl's body decomposing in the trunk. And a cause of death that remains officially "deferred" while a grand jury hears witness after witness.The D4VD case has all the hallmarks of a circumstantial prosecution—no eyewitnesses, no confession, no official homicide ruling yet. But prosecutors aren't waiting. They're building something.In Part 1 of this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what investigators are likely seeing in this case. We examine the physical evidence found at D4VD's Hollywood Hills rental and what unused disposal tools suggest about intent versus execution. We discuss how advanced decomposition affects forensic analysis and what toxicology results could mean for the direction of charges.

You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start. 

It's a deep-dive with Tesla Larry (aka Larry Goldberg) on his proposed idea for Tesla to issue new stock to invest in all of Elon Musk's other companies (SpaceX, Neuralink, Boring, XAI). He theorizes Musk needs to raise $1T+ for all his ambitious projects across his empire and the easiest way would be for a consolidated entity (Tesla) to do it all. In light of the SpaceX IPO news and orbital datacenters I think this is a fascinating pitch even if it's unlikely to happen. Let me know your thoughts!!

Episode Notes In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, host Benoy Thanjan sits down with Jarand Rystad, Founder and CEO of Rystad Energy, one of the world's leading energy intelligence and data advisory firms. Jarand explains why solar has dramatically outperformed historical forecasts, how rapid cost declines have reshaped global power markets, and why many regions are now facing a new challenge: too much solar at the wrong times. As grids become saturated with midday generation, energy storage has emerged as the critical missing link. The conversation explores why the next five years will belong to energy storage, how batteries enable higher renewable penetration, and what this shift means for pricing, grid stability, and project economics. Jarand also shares insights on powering the AI and data center boom, the evolving role of gas and nuclear, long-duration storage innovations, and why electrification is fundamentally transforming the global energy system. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand where the energy transition is headed, how markets are behaving beneath the headlines, and where the biggest opportunities will emerge over the next decade.   Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups.

with Brad Friedman & Desi Doyen

A chainsaw that appears never to have been used.A burn-cage incinerator still sealed in its box.A Tesla left parked on a quiet residential street for weeks—containing the decomposing body of a teenage girl.And a cause of death that remains officially deferred as a grand jury hears testimony behind closed doors.The case surrounding Celeste Rivas is, at least publicly, almost entirely circumstantial. There are no eyewitnesses. No confession. No confirmed homicide ruling. And yet, prosecutors are clearly moving forward.In Part 1 of this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks through what investigators are likely piecing together right now. We examine the physical evidence recovered from D4VD's Hollywood Hills rental and what unused disposal tools can indicate about intent versus execution. We discuss how advanced decomposition complicates forensic analysis, what toxicology may still reveal, and why prosecutors sometimes move to seal autopsy findings while a case develops.Jennifer also explains how travel patterns to secondary locations are interpreted by investigators and how circumstantial homicide cases succeed—or collapse—once they reach a jury.According to private investigator Steve Fischer, Celeste Rivas was last confirmed alive on January 2, 2025. The Tesla was reportedly parked in its final location on July 29—the same day D4VD allegedly left for tour. Her body was not discovered until September 8, one day after what would have been her 15th birthday.D4VD has not been arrested or charged with any crime and remains legally presumed innocent. But the evidence is accumulating—and this conversation breaks down what it may ultimately mean.Part 2 examines the inner circle, witness behavior, and the grand jury's expanding role.#D4VD #CelesteRivas #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBI #TrueCrime #GrandJury #HollywoodHills #HiddenKillers #CriminalInvestigationJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4VD has not spoken publicly since Celeste Rivas's body was discovered in his Tesla. But the people around him have—some by choice, others under compulsion.His manager, Robert Morgenroth, reportedly spent days testifying before a grand jury and was allegedly overheard saying his priority after learning about the body was keeping the tour moving—not contacting police. A key female witness failed to appear and now faces a body attachment order. And shortly after law enforcement searched D4VD's Hollywood Hills rental, he allegedly transferred two properties to his mother and terminated his lease.In Part 2, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes what the behavior of an inner circle can reveal when a case reaches this stage. We break down what prosecutors are likely trying to establish through Morgenroth's testimony, why repeated questioning matters, and how silence can carry weight in a grand jury setting.Jennifer explains what it typically means when witnesses resist testifying, how asset transfers can become relevant during an investigation, and why a suspect going quiet while a grand jury convenes is often strategic—but not without risk.This grand jury is no longer simply investigative. It has the authority to indict.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1236: We're continuing our coverage of CES with headlines on Hyundai's humanoid robot plans and Sony Honda's SUV twist on the Afeela. Plus, a dramatic EV fire at a gas station is stopped cold by some simple, new tech.https://www.autonews.com/technology/an-ces-2026-hyundai-robotics-strategy-0105/Hyundai is jumping headfirst into the humanoid robot race, revealing a bold new plan to deploy thousands of AI-driven robots at its factories, starting with its Georgia Metaplant. The timeline? Hyundai aims to produce 30,000 Atlas humanoid robots per year by 2028.The robots will begin by handling parts-sequencing tasks at the Georgia plant.Developed by Boston Dynamics, Atlas can lift 110 pounds and is built for rugged environments.Hyundai's roadmap includes complex assembly work by 2030, supported by AI from Nvidia and Google DeepMind.“Robotics brings many different domains of machine learning together… That makes robotics a frontier application of AI,” said Carolina Parada of Google DeepMind.https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/sony-honda-mobilitys-afeela-prototype-2026-puts-an-suv-spin-on-its-too-familiar-sedan-at-ces-043927882.htmlSony Honda Mobility is back at CES with another Afeela concept — this time, it's an SUV. The new Afeela Prototype 2026 offers familiar styling with a taller twist, signaling the joint venture's attempt to better cater to American preferences.The SUV prototype mimics the Afeela 1 sedan, complete with nose-mounted LCD.Targeted release is “as early as 2028,” though 2029 is more likely.Meanwhile, the Afeela 1 sedan is still set to launch at the end of 2026 — but only in California.Starting at $90K, the sedan offers 300 miles of range and promises future Level 4 autonomy yet only charges at 150 kwh…half of what most Teslas and Hyundai's can do“You could drive in Gran Turismo 7 while your car drove you to work,” Sony Honda Mobility teased.https://www.jalopnik.com/2068144/firefighters-blanket-turtle-ev-fire/In an ironic turn, an EV caught fire at a gas station .

Kick off the first full week of 2026 with a deep dive into a wild day on the options tape. In this episode of the Hot Options Report, Mark Longo breaks down the top 10 most active products, headlined by a massive breakout in Micron (MU) and a significant "dark side" shift in Tesla (TSLA). While the broader market saw mixed action, the semiconductor space stole the show. We analyze why Micron popped 10% to close near $344 and what the heavy activity in the 350 calls suggests for the rest of the week. Meanwhile, Tesla bulls took a breather as volume flooded into the 430 puts following a 4% sell-off. In this episode, we cover: The Semiconductor Slugfest: Nvidia vs. Tesla for the #1 spot. Micron's Moonshot: Breaking down the 619,000 contracts and the $350 call interest. Tesla Sentiment Shift: From $500 calls to $430 puts—is the "dark side" taking over? The Tech Round-up: Unusual activity in Palantir (PLTR), AMD, Apple (AAPL), and Amazon (AMZN). SoFi's Slump: Analyzing the 8% drop and the volume at the $27 strike.

Heute geht es bei mir um autonomes Fahren und Robotaxis: Ich habe meinen Führerschein vor rund 35 Jahren gemacht und kenne deshalb den typischen Anleger-Gedanken nur zu gut: „So weit sind wir noch lange nicht, bis das Auto wirklich für uns entscheidet.“ Das klingt schnell nach Hype. Doch nach meiner Fahrt gestern über eine Autobahn wurde mir schlagartig klar: Das wird kommen – sicher. Und vermutlich nicht erst in 15 Jahren, sondern eher in fünf bis zehn. Einige entscheidende Entwicklungen werden wir sogar deutlich früher sehen – und genau dort könnten auch für Anleger Chancen entstehen.

The D4VD case just took a massive turn. Sources confirm the grand jury hearing evidence in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez is an indicting grand jury—not merely investigative. Prosecutor Beth Silverman is reportedly seeking murder charges against the 20-year-old singer whose alleged girlfriend's body was found dismembered in his Tesla. Today we cover the latest breaking developments: D4VD's manager Robert Morgenroth testified for days and was overheard saying Silverman was "very pushy" about why he didn't call police. His response? He didn't feel it was his responsibility—his job was to keep the tour going. A female witness failed to appear and now faces arrest via body attachment order. Private investigator Steve Fischer revealed a chainsaw and burn cage incinerator were found inside D4VD's Hollywood rental, both unused—evidence, Fischer says, of a plan that "got upended." We walk through the timeline Fischer has constructed: Celeste was last confirmed alive January 2, 2025. The Tesla was parked in its final spot July 29—the same day D4VD left for tour. The body wasn't discovered until September 8, the day after what would have been Celeste's 15th birthday. D4VD has not been arrested or charged. He remains legally presumed innocent. But with witnesses being compelled to testify, physical evidence mounting, and prosecutors signaling their intent, this case is heading toward a courtroom. We break down what to expect as grand jury proceedings continue into February 2026. #D4VDCase #CelesteRivas #TrueCrimeToday #GrandJuryIndictment #BreakingNews #HollywoodMurder #CelesteRivasUpdate #D4VDNews #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeForCeleste Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ ​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A grand jury is no longer just gathering evidence—it's preparing to indict. Multiple sources confirm prosecutor Beth Silverman believes D4VD was involved in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered remains were discovered in the trunk of the singer's Tesla in September 2025. In this episode, we break down the explosive new developments in the D4VD case, including the discovery of an unused chainsaw and a 1,600-degree burn cage incinerator inside the Hollywood Hills home where the artist was living. Private investigator Steve Fischer, hired by the property owner, shares his chilling assessment: "Whatever happened here, this wasn't a finalized plan. She was not meant to be left in that Tesla. The plan got upended." We examine the damning grand jury testimony from D4VD's manager Robert Morgenroth, who reportedly told prosecutors his priority was keeping the tour going—not calling police. We cover the uncooperative female witness facing a body attachment order, the asset transfers D4VD made days after police raided his home, and the timeline Steve Fischer has pieced together showing when Celeste was last seen alive and when the Tesla was parked in its final location. The cause of death remains deferred pending toxicology, but prosecutors aren't waiting. They're building a murder case one witness at a time. D4VD has not been charged and remains presumed innocent, but the direction of this investigation is no longer ambiguous. This is the most comprehensive breakdown of where this case stands as we head into 2026. #D4VD #CelesteRivas #CelesteRivasHernandez #TrueCrime #GrandJury #HollywoodHills #MurderInvestigation #BethSilverman #RobertMorgenroth #HiddenKillers Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ ​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Elon Musk has stated Tesla's plans to build a chip fab in the US (he's calling it the Tesla Terafab). This has huge implications for the status quo of AI chips, currently dominated by NVIDIA. The whole system of NVIDIA buying chips from TSMC who is buying machines from ASML is very fragile and comes with massive geopolitical risks. Now startups like Substrate and Tesla are challenging this chip paradigm with their own new system. Do you think Tesla and Elon will pull this off to build a chip fab in the US? Then send those chips to Space on a SpaceX rocket? Running xAI models? Will this chalange NVIDIA's dominance?Cyan Bannister post about Substrate and chips: https://www.longjourney.vc/news/cyans...0:00 NVIDIA Is Insanely Profitable3:35 NVIDIA's Suppliers: TSMC & ASML5:45 Cyan Bannister's Blog Post About Chips8:35 Substrate lithography startup9:39 Elon Musk & The Tesla Terafab 13:48 Starcloud, SpaceX IPO & Datacenters in Space19:37 My PredictionsMy X:   / gfilche  HyperChange Patreon :)   / hyperchange   Disclaimer: I'm invested in Tesla & SpaceX and this show is not financial advice.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss the fallout from Waymo's crisis management failure in San Francisco, where a power outage left hundreds of vehicles stranded and blocking intersections throughout the city. Waymo's prolonged silence on the incident and lack of transparency regarding what truly happened could lead to a decline in public trust just as robotaxis begin to scale. Down in Austin, Tesla missed their 2025 driver-out deadline in Austin, prompting Grayson to push his prediction for driver-out/safety attendant out commercial service to late February or early March 2026.Then there is Uber, a company with an ever-changing narrative around autonomy—shifting from demand-generation to hybrid networks, and now claiming mass adoption is still decades away. What will the next narrative be, and will it change once again post-CES?Closing out the show, Grayson and Walt discuss how escalating geopolitical tensions in Venezuela and potential political shifts in the UK could force a hard reset for companies relying on Chinese autonomous technology to scale their robotaxi businesses.Episode Chapters0:00 Lights Out in San Francisco2:44 Why Did Waymo's Freeze When the Power Went Out?8:34 Remote Drivers15:00 Robotaxi in Austin18:33 Scaling Robotaxi 22:48 Autonomous Vehicle Policy24:47 Austin Incident Reports 27:17 Uber's Ever-Changing Narrative 30:31 Miami-Dade Sheriff Deploys Autonomous Patrol Vehicles 32:38 Foreign Autonomy Desk40:26 CESRecorded on Sunday, January 4, 2026 --------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Guy Anderson joins us LIVE to explore Tartaria, human cloning, the Cabbage Patch conspiracy, Tesla technology, mud floods, orphan trains, and the hidden history behind the 1776 reset. Alternative history, forbidden knowledge, and mind‑bending theories — all in one episode. This Sunday we're joined by Guy Anderson, author of Tesla & The Cabbage Patch Kids: The Fall of the Tartarian Empire & Reset of 1776, for one of the most wide‑ranging and provocative conversations we've ever hosted. Guy's research dives deep into the Tartarian Empire, the mud flood reset, and the idea that our historical timeline has been manipulated, rewritten, or deliberately obscured. We'll explore the orphan trains, the origins of the Cabbage Patch Kids, and how these seemingly innocent dolls connect to theories of human cloning, child trafficking, and the erasure of an entire civilisation. Expect discussion of Tesla technology, free energy suppression, underground tunnel systems, and the possibility of a global reset in 1776. Guy also examines esoteric symbolism, the hidden meaning of the Statue of Liberty, and the idea of Satan's Little Season — a period of deception and inversion that shapes our modern world. If you're interested in alternative history, forbidden knowledge, lost civilisations, or the strange overlaps between conspiracy lore and mainstream culture, this episode is for you.

Welcome to the first full trading week of 2026! While the major averages surged to kick off the new year, the options tape is telling a much more nuanced story. Mark Longo breaks down the top 10 most active names, highlighting a strange divergence where the broader market rallied while tech titans like Apple and Nvidia faced early-year selling pressure. The Top 10 Countdown: #10: AMD (AMD) – Bucking the green trend, AMD sold off over 1% to close at $221.08. Traders focused on the Jan 230 calls expiring this Friday. #9: SoFi (SOFI) – Roaring back with a 6.6% pop, SoFi reclaimed nearly all its recent dilution losses. The Jan 30 calls were the hot strike of the day. #8: Palantir (PLTR) – Rallying over 3.6%, Palantir bulls are looking toward the moon with heavy volume on the Jan 190 calls. #7: MicroStrategy (MSTR) – "The Monster" saw wild opening flow, specifically a nearly 25,000-contract block of March 160 calls. #6: Amazon (AMZN) – The Amazonians joined the rally, gaining nearly 3%. Buyers stepped into the Jan 235 calls for Friday expiration. #5: Apple (AAPL) – A rare red day for the fruit company amidst a market rally. Over 44,000 of the Jan 270 calls traded, likely as overwrites. #4: Nu Holdings (NU) – The Brazilian banking giant popped over 5% on 15x its average daily volume. #3: JPMorgan (JPM) – Financials are leading the charge, but JPM's 1.28 million contract volume was heavily skewed by Ex-Dividend (X-Div) activity in the January pars. #2: Tesla (TSLA) – Back in the silver medal spot, Tesla jumped 3.1% to $451.67. The Jan 460 calls saw aggressive action. #1: Nvidia (NVDA) – Taking the crown once again, but finishing slightly in the red. Massive interest remains at the Jan 195 calls for the end of the week.
