Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have three stories for you this week: the FCC vote, DJI drone and payload leaks, and a California homeowner is facing a massive $300,000 fine based on drone surveillance. Let's get to it.First up, in a 3-0 vote, the FCC granted itself the authority to retroactively ban equipment from companies on its "Covered List." This new rule was driven by Chinese communication equipment issues and it closes two major loopholes. First, it prohibits the authorization of any new devices that contain components from a Covered List company. Second, and this is the big one, it allows the FCC to revoke previously authorized equipment if national security concerns arise. As I said, this was motivated by huawei and other Chinese telecom equipment. Why does it matter to the drone world?DJI and Autel could end up on the FCC Covered List by the end of the year if an audit of their technology is not completed by the US government. If/when they get added, then the FCC would have the authority to do what they just voted on. There is technically a notice of proposed rule making coming up on this to follow, but as of this recording, it is NOT public.Next up, DJI has a few rumored releases including the Neo 2, which is rumored to be released by the time you're watching this recording! Some notable upgrades include forward-facing LiDAR, 2 Axis Gimbal, possible sensor upgrades, and the battery, reportedly offering 15% more capacity for a flight time of around 19 minutes. But that upgrade comes at a cost—leaked Australian pricing shows the new battery will be $129, which is more than double the original's $59 price tag. DJI Enterprise is teasing a new payload for all the surveyors and mappers out there. The company has announced a launch event for November 4th at 7 AM EST for what is almost certainly the new Zenmuse L3 LiDAR payload. The teaser tagline is "See Through, Far and True," which gives us some big clues. "See Through" likely points to improved vegetation penetration, which is critical for forestry and terrain mapping. "Far" suggests a longer detection range than the Zenmuse L2's 450 meters. And "True" implies even better accuracy, which would be impressive since the L2 already boasts 4cm vertical and 5cm horizontal accuracy.Leaked photos show the L3 payload in a rugged Pelican-style case, and it features a distinctive pink and purple display screen that matches the teaser video. This is the logical successor to the Zenmuse L2, which was launched back in October 2023. DJI has been a game-changer in this space, bringing the cost of aerial LiDAR down from over $100,000 to something much more accessible. Fourth this week, a homeowner in Stanton, California, is facing a staggering $300,000 fine after a drone owned by the City allegedly recorded illegal fireworks being set off at his property on July 4th. The city claims its drone documented approximately 300 explosions, and they're fining him $1,000 for each one. The homeowner insists he wasn't even home at the time.And next week at this time, we'll be in Las Vegas for the Vegas Drone Meetup! We'll be teaching a few in-person courses on select Part 107 topics and on photography and cinematography. If you're in the area, check it out and we hope to see you there!

NIO just went from 1,000 to 10,000 weekly sales by executing on their promises. Meanwhile, Elon Musk just announced Tesla's Cybercab - a robotaxi with NO steering wheel, NO pedals, NO manual controls - will start production in Q2 2026 and cost just $0.10 per mile to operate.One company is proving execution. The other is making bold promises. Let's examine what's real and what's hype.Tesla's Cybercab Claims:Production starts Q2 2026 (7 months away)Zero manual controls - no steering wheel, pedals, or mirrors$0.10 per mile operating cost (vs $1/mile for Uber, $3-5/mile for Waymo)Under $30,000 production cost1 million vehicles operational within 10 years (tied to Musk's compensation)Owners can share vehicles on network for passive incomeThe Technology Problem:Current Tesla Robotaxis in Austin/San Francisco STILL require safety monitorsTesla uses pure vision (cameras only, no LiDAR) which struggles in rain/fogForbes reports multiple accidents during Austin testing (rear-endings, collisions)Going from "needs human supervision" to "zero manual controls" in 7 months is massive leapVR remote takeover as backup - but latency data never disclosedThe VR Remote Takeover Issue:Tesla hiring operators to use VR headsets for remote interventionNo public data on response latency (milliseconds matter in autonomous driving)What happens when connectivity drops in rural areas?How many operators needed per vehicle at scale?Feels like band-aid solution, not robust safety systemThe Economics - If It Works:$0.10/mile is 10X cheaper than current ride-sharingCould generate $75.9 billion net profit over 10 years (industry estimate)Changes Tesla's business model from car sales to transportation-as-a-serviceForces entire AV industry to hit this cost target or become irrelevantThe Credibility Problem:FSD was supposed to be feature-complete in 2020 (still requires supervision in 2025)"Tesla Robotaxis by 2020" promise was 5 years ago (still using safety monitors)Cybertruck sold only 20,000 units/year, entry version discontinued after 5 monthsMusk's compensation tied to hitting 1M robotaxi target (personal incentive to overpromise)Why This Matters for NIO Investors:Two completely different strategies playing out:Tesla: Pure vision, aggressive timelines, remove manual controls, "move fast and break things"NIO: Battery swap infrastructure first, autonomous as feature, keep manual controls, build trust graduallyNeither is inherently right or wrong - they're different philosophies. But execution matters more than promises.The Broader Industry Impact:If Tesla hits $0.10/mile, it resets market expectations and forces disruption. If Cybercab launches with safety issues, it sets the entire AV industry BACK by spooking regulators and consumers.This isn't just about Tesla. It's a bet on behalf of the entire autonomous vehicle industry.My Take:The vision is compelling. The technology isn't ready yet. The economics are unproven. Musk's track record on timelines is questionable. But I'm not saying it's impossible - just that the gap between announcement and reality is WIDE.As investors, we bet on execution, not announcements. NIO's testing execution with Q4 profitability. Tesla's testing it with Cybercab. Different companies, different strategies, same question: Can you deliver what you promised?This is objective analysis of the EV and autonomous vehicle space. Not pumping NIO, not dumping Tesla - just examining claims vs reality.#Tesla #TeslaCybercab #NIO #AutonomousVehicles #ElonMuskTesla Cybercab, Tesla stock, Elon Musk, NIO stock, autonomous vehicles, Tesla Robotaxi, FSD full self driving, Tesla news, NIO vs Tesla, electric vehicle stocks, self driving cars, Waymo vs Tesla, Chinese EV stocks, robotaxi, Tesla

Ali Hackalife und Basti sprechen erneut über Schlagzeilen der letzten Tage. Dieses mal geht es ums Lock picking, einen Gerichtsprozess, wie man Fahrräder befreit, was sich in der Laser Messtechnik getan hat, und was Harald Welzer in seinem neuen Buch, Das Haus der Gefühle, geschrieben hat.

Bom dia!A pílula de hoje resume a PrevNews 92 e mostra como os veículos elétricos estão mudando o cenário da prevenção contra incêndio — novos riscos, mas com normas que já temos pra fazer certo.

Tesla (TSLA) reported yet another earnings miss Wednesday after the closing bell, though Andrew Graham believes its A.I. and robotics prospects overshadowed the earnings. However, he sees "big risk" for Tesla's autonomous driving future as it takes a "camera only" approach versus more expensive tech like LiDAR. Morningstar's Seth Goldstein explains why his firm upped their Tesla price target — though it still falls well below the current stock price. The big risk he sees: Tesla's business being largely limited to the U.S.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The October edition of the WGI Unleashed Podcast is officially here! Join us as we travel to Austin, Texas, to chat with Coleen Johnson, RPLS, WGI's Director of Geospatial. Coleen's story is one of resilience, curiosity, and a lifelong passion for learning. From hand-drafting machine parts in Houston to leading cutting-edge geospatial teams at WGI, her journey proves that sometimes the best career paths are the ones you create yourself. From Small-Town Roots to the Lone Star State Coleen grew up in the rural town of Hannibal, New York, surrounded by rolling hills, dairy farms, and open skies. With four siblings, a farm-loving grandfather, and 21 acres to explore, she learned early on the value of hard work and curiosity. After high school, uncertain about her next step, Coleen made a bold move—she packed her bags and headed to Houston, Texas, chasing opportunity (and maybe a little adventure). She landed a job at an oilfield manufacturing company, working in the warehouse under the blazing Houston sun. Her dedication didn't go unnoticed. The company's owner brought her into the office to learn mechanical drafting by hand—pencil, vellum, and all. That moment changed everything. “It was fun,” Coleen recalled. “And that's how I ended up getting into surveying eventually… through drafting.” Learning by Doing: The Path to Surveying When the oil industry slowed, Coleen moved to Austin with an abundance of ambition but no real plan. She found work with a new civil engineering firm that needed a drafter, and not long after, the firm expanded to start a survey department. Coleen jumped at the chance to join, and from that moment, she was hooked. Surveying turned out to be the perfect fit: a mix of math, mapping, and the great outdoors. While working full-time, she attended Austin Community College at night, earning her land surveying degree after several years of late nights and determination. By then, she was also a licensed professional surveyor—a huge milestone in a field she'd learned entirely on the job. Her advice for others figuring out their path? “It's okay not to know right away,” Coleen says. “Figure out what you love first, then follow it. The rest will fall into place.” A Trailblazer for Women in Surveying Coleen's career took her through just about every side of surveying imaginable. From private developments to public utilities, and even a stint at TxDOT and the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), where she surveyed electric transmission lines and the parks surrounding Lake Travis. But her biggest achievements go beyond project work. In 2007, she became the first woman to serve as President of the Texas Society of Professional Surveyors (TSPS)—a major milestone in a profession where women were once few and far between. Today, she continues to pay it forward as a member of the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors and the National Council of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors (NCEES), mentoring others and shaping the future of the profession. “I love giving back to the field that gave me everything,” she said. Life at WGI: Leading with Vision and Innovation Now celebrating her sixth year at WGI, Coleen leads the Geospatial division in Austin—managing teams, securing contracts, and helping shape how WGI captures and analyzes data across the country. She even landed WGI's first TxDOT Austin District contract, a major win for both her team and the firm. Her role is fast-paced and constantly evolving. “Technology has changed tremendously,” she says. “We've gone from hand-drawing on Mylar to laser scanning, drones, and LiDAR. That's what I love about this field—it's never monotonous. There's always something new to learn.” And Mondays at her office? They start with a safety meeting and breakfast tacos, of course. Life Outside the Grid When she's not overseeing survey crews or reviewing proposals, Coleen enjoys the quiet life on her two-acre property outside Leander, where she lives with her husband and three rescue Dobermans—Prada, Ruby, and Cooper. She's a passionate gardener, cultivating flowers, herbs, and vegetables in raised beds. “Taking care of the yard is actually therapeutic,” she says. “I love mowing, trimming, and just being outside—it's my kind of peace.” A creative at heart, Coleen even sewed her own clothes growing up, a skill passed down from her grandmother, a 4-H teacher for 60 years. She credits that upbringing for her independence, creativity, and love of hands-on work. A Legacy of Leadership Coleen's story is one of grit, gratitude, and growth. From learning drafting by hand to leading a team of geospatial experts, she's built a career defined by curiosity and love for what she does. As for what keeps her excited about coming into work every day? “The people,” she said without hesitation. “I love working with our teams, mentoring others, and watching them grow. That's what makes it all worth it.” Tune In This episode is packed with moments that showcase Coleen's curiosity, grit, and passion for her craft - So, tune in, and as always, stay curious, stay driven, and keep unleashing your full potential!

We are working to be an approved nonprofit for Substack support but the process is tedious and lengthy. In the meantime, we do ask for and need your support.Quick summary: Our program explored lunar exploration and habitation concepts, focusing on lava tubes and the challenges of robotic mapping and structural analysis. The discussion concluded with conversations about lunar transportation, power requirements, and the importance of maintaining public interest in space exploration, while also touching on the role of AI in education and research.David and John Jossy discussed personal matters, including John's upcoming meeting with his son and David's struggles with overeating. They briefly touched on political topics, such as the upcoming New Jersey governor's race and concerns about New York City's direction. Haym joined later and shared his focus on lunar lava tubes, including their structure and potential for habitation, but noted he hadn't made any new progress on habitats recently. Space Show Zoom participants included Dr. Charles Lurio, John Hunt, John Jossy, Marshall Martin, Dr. Ajay Kothari, and Joe Pistritto.I announced upcoming guests for the space show, including Sam Ximenes who is the founder and CEO of Astroport Space, Mike Gruntman, and Homer Hickam for the next Hotel Mars program. I also discussed progress on getting podcasts back on various platforms and the challenges of accepting donations through Substack due to our nonprofit status. Dr. Haym Benaroya, a mechanical engineering professor at Rutgers University, was introduced as the guest for the day, having previously appeared on the show and authored books on lunar exploration.Haym reported strong student interest in space and lunar engineering at Rutgers, with many students pursuing independent research projects and finding placement at companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and NASA. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses in spacecraft and mission design, and while he hasn't pursued commercial work himself, he is interested in studying lunar lava tubes as a logical progression from his previous lunar habitat research. His current research focuses on the structural stability of lava tubes, particularly examining the trade-offs between pressurized and unpressurized tubes, which serves as a valuable training ground for students.Our Zoom Space Show participants in this program, along with Dr. Benaroya, discussed lunar habitat options, with Haym explaining that lava tubes would be more suitable for third-generation habitats due to access and infrastructure challenges. Haym suggested that initial lunar structures would likely be cylindrical pressure vessels or inflatable modules that could be pre-constructed and shielded with regolith, with 3D printing as a future possibility once energy and robotic capabilities improve. Marshall raised the need for an exploratory rover to map lava tubes, with Haym confirming that some students have developed small-scale models with LiDAR equipment for this purpose.The group discussed the exploration and potential habitation of lunar lava tubes, emphasizing the need for robotic technology to assess their structural stability and safety. Haym and others highlighted the challenges of robotics on the Moon due to factors like regolith and radiation, suggesting a high reliance on robotics but acknowledging their complexity. Marshall mentioned the use of seismic technology to map lava tubes, while Joe referenced a presentation on a tethered rover concept for exploration. The conversation also touched on the balance between human and robotic efforts in preparing lava tubes for habitation, with Haym suggesting a significant robotic presence. David asked about the feasibility of similar efforts on Mars, and Haym noted that while gravity might differ, many challenges would remain similar.We continued talking about the potential for lava tubes on the Moon and their possible water content, with Haym noting that while water could theoretically accumulate in tubes, it would be a longer process than in permanently shadowed regions. They explored the temperature conditions in lava tubes, with Haym citing a source that suggested temperatures around 63 degrees Fahrenheit, though the accuracy of this measurement in a vacuum environment was questioned. The conversation then shifted to the need for lunar landing pads, with David raising the question of current technological readiness and the necessary robotic construction methods, emphasizing the need for structural analysis and material selection.We did focus on the challenges and potential solutions for lunar landing pads, including their structural stability and regolith displacement. Haym highlighted concerns about the instability of tall rockets landing on the moon and proposed two classes of landing sites: sintering the surface or using ceramic-like plates. John Jossy mentioned Ethos Space's work on a regolith compacting device, though David noted their timeline was far off into the future. The conversation also touched on the need for engineering tests and inspections for lunar infrastructure while suggesting that Sam, our upcoming Sunday guest, could provide insights on regolith-based landing pads. The discussion concluded with a consensus that energy, particularly fission energy, would be crucial for mapping lava tubes and other lunar activities.We continued with a discussion of power requirements for lunar and Martian bases, while noting that the current proposed nuclear power is sufficient for now, future needs will require megawatt-scale power. They agreed that cables would be the simplest method to transport power to construction sites, though Marshall emphasized the uncertainty of permanent vs. temporary needs on the moon. The discussion concluded with predictions about lunar missions, with Haym and others expressing confidence that China will send a person to the moon within 5-8 years, while Joe noted uncertainty about American lunar missions in the same timeframe.The group discussed various concepts for lunar transportation, including maglev trains and rovers, but noted that current U.S. lunar ambitions lack key components like a lander and the Gateway station, which was revived by Sen. Cruz for Artemis missions 4 and 5. They debated the status of Boeing's Starliner and Orion programs, with Orion being considered in good shape despite some heat shield issues, while NASA is exploring alternative rocket options like Starship, New Glenn, or Falcon Heavy. The discussion concluded with David raising the importance of communicating the value of lunar missions to the general public, emphasizing the need for clear benefits that could be realized within a reasonable timeframe.Zoom participants along with Haym talked up the benefits of lunar exploration, with Haym explaining that while students are excited by the prospect of space activities, the long-term economic benefits could include advancements in civilian technology, a lunar-based economy, and access to helium-3 for fusion reactions. Ajay noted that the excitement factor, similar to Hollywood, is important for public engagement, while Haym mentioned potential medical benefits of conducting cancer research in lunar gravity. The discussion highlighted that while immediate benefits might not be apparent, the cumulative economic and technological impacts over 50-100 years could significantly benefit society.The group discussed the potential for mining lunar resources and the importance of maintaining public interest in space exploration. They agreed that frequent and exciting missions, such as those involving lava tubes or live broadcasts, could help generate public enthusiasm. Joe noted that the Eclipse missions might be more exciting than Artemis, while Marshall mentioned the high viewership of the Starship test flight. When asked, Haym shared how artificial intelligence is being used in his spacecraft course to help students produce polished summaries of papers, reducing their workload.Haym discussed the integration of AI in education and research, sharing his experience with using AI tools to assist in teaching and conducting research. He highlighted the potential of AI to accelerate research processes and optimize habitat design, emphasizing the need for human oversight to guide AI's capabilities. John Jossy brought up the work of the Purdue University's Brazilian Extraterrestrial Habitats Institute on automating habitats and using AI for design, which Haym acknowledged as impressive. The group discussed the rapid pace of AI development and its potential to transform future technology, including its application in space missions. David asked about the path from academic theories and projects to real-world lunar missions, but the response was vague.Haym emphasized the need for affordable lunar missions to test technologies in the actual lunar environment, highlighting the importance of both commercial and governmental efforts. He noted that while small landers have made progress, costs remain a significant challenge. Haym also discussed his previous work, including his books on space exploration and lunar habitats, and shared insights on AI in academic writing. The conversation concluded with a discussion about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), where Haym expressed skepticism about the technology claims but acknowledged the possibility of extraterrestrial origins.The conversation ended with participants expressing appreciation for the discussion and format, and David announced the next meeting with Sam on Sunday. Haym and others shared positive feedback on the new Space Show format, and David highlighted the challenges posed by AI, including its impact on website security and data privacy. Charles and Joe discussed the broader implications of AI on the web, with Charles noting the degradation of web content and Joe emphasizing the technological battle between defenders and attackers. David expressed frustration with the costs and technical challenges of defending against AI-driven attacks, and the group agreed on the need for ongoing vigilance and adaptation.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Aí sim! Na senda ocultista há vários termos que se tornam populares e são utilizados de forma leviana e deturpada, acabam por se afastarem de seu real sentido. "Necromancia" é um desses termos. Muitos inventam significados ou fantasiam sobre tal prática, mas poucos têm o entendimento do que se trata e, mais ainda, os devidos fundamentos para se praticar. Lidar com os mortos é algo que exige respeito e presença. Demanda, sobretudo, uma autoreflexão constante, pois o limiar da vida nos desafia naquilo que não somos, não fomos e não seremos, e a mente que cede é consumida pelas sombras. No episódio de hoje adentraremos algumas zonas abissais, e entretanto será extremamente esclarecedor! Só pedimos que tome cuidado aonde pisa, e não coma nada que te oferecerem no caminho, ok? Ah!

This month, the globe spins faster than Sean's excuses for not reading the manual as the Audio Pizza crew—Kayaker, Garth, and Shaun—check in from around the world with special guest Brett Halle and a surprise cameo from Jordie, freshly armed with a shiny new iPhone 17 Pro. The gang dives deep into Apple's latest event—iPhones, Watches, AirPods, and a healthy sprinkle of sarcasm. • Shaun: Still refusing to upgrade because “thinness is overrated.” • Garth: Tempted by the Air, but only if it gets a second speaker. • Brett: Drops insider-level knowledge bombs about RAM, LiDAR, and AI headroom. • Jordie: Loves her 17 Pro, mainly because it can describe her baby's outfit on command. Expect passionate debates about whether LiDAR is life-changing or just expensive potential, why every blind person's favourite phrase is “depends how you use it,” and how battery life is the new religion. Shaun leads the charge on the Meta event, which somehow excited him more than Apple's. The crew covers: • New Meta Ray-Bans and Oakleys with better cameras and longer battery life. • The wild new neural wristband that reads muscle signals so you can air-type like a Jedi. • Seeing AI and Be My Eyes coming to the glasses—accessibility in your face. • And of course, Kayaker's existential crisis over whether using Meta violates his privacy vows. Last month's cliffhanger returns: Shaun still can't back up his iPhone. Cue a group intervention featuring Garth's step-by-step fix, Brett's “pay the 99 cents” wisdom, and a gentle reminder that losing your phone is worse than losing your morals to Meta. Got opinions?

Welcome to your weekly UAS News update, we have 3 stories for you: Amazon resumes operations after two drones crash into a crane, Flock Safety launches Aerodome Drone as Automated Security, and Phase One releases a 247MP camera! First up, Amazon Prime Air has resumed delivery flights after two of its MK30 aircraft collided with a mobile crane in Tolleson, Arizona. The incident occurred on Wednesday, October 1st when a construction crane was doing roofing work at a business. The two drones impacted the crane a few minutes apart, with one falling to the ground and catching on fire. Both the FAA and NTSB have begun investigations. Amazon resumed operations on Friday, October 3rd, raising questions about whether Amazon is prioritizing conducting operations over safety. According to DroneXL, this incident is the 4th reported crash this year by an Amazon MK30, and the second time the system has been grounded. In January, Amazon halted operations after two MK30s crashed during testing in Oregon due to faulty LiDAR programming. This event hasn't yet hit the NTSB's CAROL database, but we'll likely get more information if or when it does. Next up, Flock Safety has released their Aerodome Drone as Automated Security (DAS). This system is designed to be a turn-key solution for security patrols. This is a separate product and mission profile from Drones as First Responder, and caters to the private entity looking for a similar solution. It appears that Flock is using the DJI Dock 3 and the Matrice 4D, with Flock's own back-end deployment software. The system also integrates with Flock's ecosystem through FlockOS, allowing private entities to utilize alarm panels, video management systems, license plate readers, and audio sensors. Way to diversify! Last up this week, Phase One has released a 247MP photogrammetry camera! If you're unfamiliar with Phase One, they've been a well-known name in the mapping space for their high-megapixel cameras. This week they released the iXM-RS250, with a resolution of 19,200×12,800 pixels and a new IIQ-X compression format, which reduces file size by 90% when compared to 16-bit TIFFs. The new camera is also said to reduce mapping times by 30% compared to previous systems. For those operators who fly large missions and deal with terabytes of data, this could be a game-changer. The iXM-RS250 is immediately compatible with the DJI Matrice 400, and features a USB 3.0 and 10G ethernet for other systems. At this time, Phase One has not released any pricing for the iXM-RS250, but it's safe to say it'll be pricey! And on Post Flight, our show where we share our opinions, we won't be talking about part 108… We will be discussing these stories and Sikorsky, who has released an entire family of VTOL drones. Have a great weekend, and we'll see you next week! https://dronexl.co/2025/10/08/phase-one-247mp-drone-camera-intergeo/https://dronexl.co/2025/10/03/amazon-resumes-drone-deliveries-days-after-tolleson-crane-crash-and-fire/https://dronexl.co/2025/09/30/flock-safety-aerodome-das-drone-security/

In this episode, we're joined by Peter Sunna (ex-Contentful, Commercetools), now leading product at Kognic, an annotation platform that helps cars “see” via camera & LiDAR for ADAS and autonomous driving. Peter shares why he downplays traditional roadmaps in favor of a company-wide “How We Win” operating system, aligning teams on target segment, differentiation, and the strategic power to compound. We dive into the automotive software shift, safety-critical AI, and how to build defensibility when AI keeps redefining what's feasible, sometimes in months. Peter explains how to keep Sales, Product, Marketing, and CS selling and building the same thing so strategy drives the plan, not a feature laundry list. Here are some of the key questions we address: How do you replace feature roadmaps with a "How We Win" system that aligns every team and still tells customers what matters next? What does differentiation look like in practice and which power are you compounding (process, network effects, brand, switching costs, etc.)? When you're early and have no moat, how do you use counter-positioning and when do you evolve to a more durable power? Depth vs. breadth: should you go deeper on a few use cases or widen to adjacent ones, and how do you decide? How do you sell a new workflow into enterprises (crossing the chasm) when existing org structures resist change? With AI rapidly changing what's feasible, how do you plan, defend your margins, and avoid being automated away?

Government grants and incentives have widened adoption, and zero-emission vehicles now account for over 22% of new cars registered in 2025, while diesel registrations plummeted to historic lows. TESLA TEASES OCTOBER 7 MODEL Y REVEAL Tesla released a teaser for an October 7 Model Y reveal, sparking speculation over a more affordable variant intended to boost sales momentum and address product aging. The event is pivotal as Tesla faces pressure from competition and expiring federal incentives; analysts expect production ramp-up of the lower-cost Model Y in Q4. TESLA GERMANY SEPTEMBER SALES AND BYD SURGE In Germany, BEV registrations rose 31.9% year-over-year, but Tesla's numbers fell 9.4% in September and halved since January, while Chinese rival BYD saw registrations soar beyond twenty-fold for the month. The rise of competitors and market diversification are accelerating electrification, prompting legacy automakers to refresh offerings despite Tesla's updated Model Y achieving stronger results in other parts of Europe. EUROPE EV SALES RISE IN AUGUST European plug-in vehicle sales climbed 36% year-over-year in August to about 246,000 units, outpacing overall market growth and raising BEV share to 21%. Popular models like Tesla's Model Y, Skoda Elroq, and Model 3 contributed to momentum, reinforcing investment in charging infrastructure and fleet electrification. FRANCE SEPTEMBER EV MARKET UPDATE France saw 140,090 total registrations in September with plug-in vehicles making up 29% of sales, as BEVs and PHEVs increased their market share compared to last year. The Tesla Model Y led the month's results with its best French volume in two years, pointing to strengthening Q3 demand for electrification despite a slight year-to-date shortfall. AUDI US EV SALES SURGE Q3 2025 Audi's U.S. EV sales leaped 232% to 18,071 units in Q3 2025, with electrics making up 39% of the brand's quarterly volume as the Q6 e-tron outsold its ICE sibling Q5. The shift signals consumer preference for electric variants, but ongoing growth depends on scaled production, dealer readiness, and effective ownership economics. CADILLAC Q3 EV SALES SURGE Cadillac delivered 18,383 EVs in Q3—a record since 2013—boosted by expiring tax credits, with electric models chosen by 40% of buyers in the period. Q3 EV deliveries rose 154% year-over-year, though upcoming quarters will test Cadillac's ability to sustain the momentum. BMW AND STELLANTIS MATCH FEDERAL EV CREDIT BMW and Stellantis are offsetting the loss of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit by applying equivalent discounts to eligible electric and plug‑in hybrid models. The offers, restricted to dealer inventory and requiring delivery by early November, are intended to prevent immediate price hikes and maintain sales amidst changing incentives. DACIA SPRING UPGRADED WITH MORE POWER AND LFP Dacia's upgraded Spring city car features new, more powerful motors and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that improves cost and safety while maintaining a WLTP range of 140 miles. The revised models, now quicker and more efficient, are priced from £15,000 to £17,000 and arrive early next year. SCANIA HIGH-FLOOR ELECTRIC COACH PLATFORM Scania has launched a high-floor battery-electric coach platform with up to 600 km range, supporting multiple body types and maintaining luggage space comparable to conventional coaches.

Drivers use CCS or NACS connectors, scan to start, and benefit from predictable costs with a growing statewide coverage. RIVIAN ADDS LIDAR TO AUTONOMY PLATFORM Rivian will incorporate LiDAR sensors into its next-generation vehicles to bolster their autonomy platform, reflecting industry trends as costs for the technology decrease. Recent hires and tech stack updates align with CEO RJ Scaringe's statements about Rivian's long-term focus on advanced driver-assistance systems.

In this KE Report Company Update, I chat with Rob Carpenter, President & CEO of Prospector Metals (TSX.V:PPP - OTCQB:PMCOF - FSE:1ET), following the company's discovery hole announced October 1st at the ML Project in the Yukon. Hole 31 intersected 13.9 g/t gold and 1.9% copper over 44 meters, including a higher-grade core of 21.8 g/t gold over 24 meters. This hole confirmed a brand-new discovery, dubbed the TESS Zone, located beside the North Vein Zone. Both zones were intersected by the same hole - just one of two holes drilled in this area during a 39-hole, 6,648-meter program. Key Discussion Points: Discovery details: How Hole 31 revealed multiple stacked mineralized zones and parallel structures. Targeting strategy: Use of LiDAR and WorldView satellite data to pinpoint blind mineralization near surface. Follow-up results: Hole 32 assays pending, with more from the Bueno, Scarn Ridge, and other zones coming soon. Next steps: Plans to triple next year's drill program with three rigs testing expansion, parallel zones, and new targets. Company focus: Rob emphasizes Prospector's mission to discover and monetize high-grade deposits.

In Episode 290 of The Maccessibility Roundtable Podcast, our knights discuss: Did We Preorder Anything The New Apple Operating Systems Knights on this episode: Darcy Burnard Holly Anderson Shelly Brisbin Robert Carter Eric Troup

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have three stories for you this week. DJI has announced the new Mini 5 Pro, a drone pilot has been sentenced for colliding with a firefighting aircraft, and a search-and-rescue drone was shot in Maine. Let's get to it.First, DJI has unveiled the Mini 5 Pro, and the specs are pretty jaw-dropping for a sub-250-gram drone. The headline feature is a 50-megapixel, 1-inch CMOS sensor. This is something pilots have been requesting for years. The camera can shoot 4K video at 60 frames per second in HDR and even does 4K slow-motion at 120 frames per second. For the pros, it supports 10-bit D-Log M and HLG color profiles, with a max ISO of 12,800. The gimbal also got a major upgrade, with a 225-degree roll rotation and true vertical shooting. For safety, DJI is introducing what they call "Nightscape Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing," which uses a forward-facing LiDAR and multiple vision sensors for better performance in low light. Flight time is rated at 36 minutes with the standard battery, and an optional Intelligent Flight Battery Plus can supposedly push that to 52 minutes! Now for the big catch: the Mini 5 Pro will NOT be officially available in the US market through DJI's store. Other retailers may carry it, but it won't be available through the DJI store. Next up, a drone pilot in California has been sentenced for a mid-air collision with a firefighting airplane. Peter Akemann, a 57-year-old from Culver City, pleaded guilty to a federal misdemeanor for the unsafe operation of a drone. This incident happened back in January 2025, when he flew his drone into the path of a "Super Scooper" firefighting aircraft that was battling the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles. The drone struck the aircraft's wing, causing a 3-by-6-inch hole and forcing the plane to be grounded for repairs. The cost of those repairs? A whopping $65,169.As part of his plea agreement, Akemann has been ordered to pay full restitution to the Quebec government, which owned the plane, and to the repair company. He also has to complete 150 hours of community service supporting wildfire relief efforts. This is a stark reminder for everyone: flying in a Temporary Flight Restriction, especially over an emergency scene, is incredibly dangerous and illegal. In our final story, a real-world drones-for-good story took a bad turn in Maine. A commercial drone operated by 2A Tac Air Services was shot while it was being used to search for two missing dogs. The operator, Rob Russell, was flying the drone at an altitude of 366 feet in Corinth, Maine, when he received a warning. Upon inspection, he found a bullet hole straight through the M30's front sensors. Russell, who uses his fleet of drones for SAR missions across New England, said the damage will cost thousands to repair and takes a critical tool out of service. This incident is now under federal investigation. It's important for everyone to understand that shooting at a drone is a federal offense, legally equivalent to shooting at a manned aircraft. On this topic, the FAA is proposing in the new Part 108 NPRM to add language that would protect remote pilots and their Visual observers from harassment and distraction. This is a welcome addition.It's incredibly important to make your voice heard on the issues with the Part 108 NPRM. If you aren't sure where to start, check out our latest video on our comment for Part 108. Spoiler alert, part 108 as proposed would NOT include current part 107 or recreational pilot. We have a solution to that. Be sure to watch that video next and get your comment submitted before October 6th, 2025! And lastly, if you like our proposal to fix the NPRM, be sure to fill out our form so we can include you and your company as supporters in our joint comment to the FAA.

This week the boys fired up the mics for an episode that's equal parts rock concert, tech summit, and surveying masterclass. Sponsored by Emlid, the show kicked off with news, happenings, and a little Linkin Park fuel—because nothing says “let's talk LiDAR and AI” like One Step Closer pounding in the background. After the TopoDOT Song of the Week and a few Hexagon pro tips, the crew welcomed Alex Baikovitz, Co-Founder and CEO of Mach9. Born in Miami, forged at Carnegie Mellon, and seasoned by building robots to inspect nuclear facilities, Alex has one mission: help computers understand and interact with the physical world. We dug deep into Mach9's origin story—starting with reality capture hardware for surveyors and pivoting to automated 3D mapping software that extracts features faster than you can say “digital twin.” From the fusion of LiDAR, AI, and edge computing, to real-world use cases that are saving clients serious time and money, Alex painted a picture of where geospatial intelligence is headed. Highlights included: How Mach9 is redefining data workflows for surveyors and infrastructure teams. Why AI/ML isn't just buzz—it's making massive point clouds actually useful. Where geospatial sits in the bigger puzzle of smart cities, digital twins, and even generative AI. The balancing act between innovation and privacy in a data-hungry world. Alex's five-year outlook, including what quantum computing and neuromorphic chips might mean for our industry. The future of geospatial intelligence is already here, and companies like Mach9 are leading the charge. From automating feature extraction to enabling real-time insights with AI, Alex reminded us that innovation isn't about replacing the surveyor, it's about empowering them to work smarter, faster, and safer. So take this conversation as both a challenge and an invitation: embrace the technology, lean into the change, and remember that adding value and making friends is always the ultimate return on investment!!!

Interview with Jesus Velador, VP Exploration of Vizsla SilverOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/silver-markets-industrial-demand-monetary-drivers-7530Recording date: 5th September 2025Vizsla Silver Corporation presents a compelling investment opportunity combining immediate production potential with exceptional exploration upside within Mexico's premier silver district. The company has achieved critical milestones that position it advantageously within the silver sector's favorable macroeconomic backdrop.The $220 million project financing package eliminates execution risk while providing sufficient capital to advance the Panuco project into production. This institutional backing validates both project economics and management capabilities, with test mining operations already underway at the high-grade Copala deposit. Vice President of Exploration Jesus Velador confirmed this progress, stating the company has "started already with a test mine and developing of the decline to access the high-grade mineralization in Kopala."Resource confidence has improved significantly through systematic drilling programs. Since acquiring Panuco in late 2019, Vizsla has completed nearly 400,000 meters of drilling across over 1,000 holes, resulting in a remarkable 43% increase in measured and indicated resources at Copala. This enhancement provides greater certainty for early production years while establishing the first measured resource in the deposit's high-grade central core.The exploration opportunity extends far beyond current resources. Within the consolidated 40,000-hectare land package, Vizsla has identified over 150 vein targets but has drilled only approximately 30, representing less than 20% penetration. Surface sampling consistently shows anomalous mineralization exceeding 200-500 grams silver equivalent across numerous targets, indicating district-wide potential for additional resource centers.Recent discoveries validate this potential. The La Pipa zone discovery in the central district demonstrates the effectiveness of Vizsla's systematic exploration approach using advanced technologies including LiDAR mapping, multispectral satellite imagery, and electromagnetic surveys. These techniques have identified additional anomalies requiring testing, providing multiple near-term discovery catalysts.The Animas vein system exemplifies the district's untapped potential. This 7-kilometer-long structure hosted extensive historical mining but only to shallow depths of 100-200 meters. Recent drilling approximately 200 meters below historical workings has encountered mineralization, suggesting telescoping high-grade shoots at depth within this impressive vein system.Recognizing these opportunities, Vizsla has doubled its drilling capacity to four rigs with plans to complete over 20,000 meters of discovery-oriented drilling in 2025. This acceleration enables simultaneous testing of multiple targets while providing frequent newsflow and potential share price catalysts.The company's dual-track strategy maximizes both immediate returns and long-term growth. Development focus on proven Copala-Napoleon deposits ensures near-term cash flow generation, while systematic exploration targets additional resource centers. This approach reduces execution risk while maintaining significant discovery upside.Silver's macroeconomic fundamentals support this investment thesis. Industrial demand from solar panels, electric vehicles, and electronics consumes approximately 60% of annual production, creating inelastic demand. Simultaneously, renewed monetary demand provides additional support as investors seek inflation hedges and precious metals exposure. Mexico's position as the world's largest silver producer provides jurisdictional advantages including established infrastructure, skilled labor, and stable regulatory environment. Combined with proximity to North American markets, these factors enhance project economics while reducing geopolitical risk.Vizsla Silver offers investors rare exposure to both immediate production potential and exceptional discovery leverage within a premier silver district, supported by proven management, advanced exploration methodology, and favorable commodity fundamentals.View Vizsla Silver's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/vizsla-silver-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk marked the one-year anniversary of Autonomy Markets and discussed the reignited debate between LiDAR and vision-only after comments made by Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi during an interview. During the interview, Mr. Khosrowshahi stated that in the short term, a combination of camera, LiDAR, and radar is the “right solution,” noting that all of Uber's current partners use this combination. This statement prompted a response from Elon Musk, who argued via a post on X that LiDAR and radar actually reduce safety due to “sensor contention” and reaffirmed Tesla's commitment to a camera-only system. Beyond the technical debate, Grayson and Walt discussed Tesla's expanded Robotaxi service in Austin and the growing opposition to a potential Waymo deployment in New York City.Episode Chapters0:00 One-Year Anniversary of Autonomy Markets2:14 Dara Khosrowshahi Reignites LiDAR vs Vision-Only Debate9:24 Elon Musk's LiDAR Rebuttal 11:49 What if Tesla Embraced LiDAR?14:29 Robotaxi Expands in Austin, Once Again18:14 Traffic Fatalities 20:32 Waymo Begins Testing in New York City26:06 Boring Company is Testing FSD Supervised in Las Vegas29:07 Stellantis Shuts Down Internal ADAS Development Program31:28 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, August 28, 2025--------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™.

Valeriana is an ancient, lost city in Southern Mexico hidden under jungle canopy for centuries, recently discovered via a Google search. How did that happen you ask? Luke Auld-Thomas' research on Mayan settlements had him poking around on the internet which led him to a LIDAR survey - a laser-based technology used in this case for terrain mapping. When he ran the data, he realized there was an entire city, of a significant size, entirely covered in dense vegetation. Could there be more of these ancient settlements, just a few clicks away, waiting to be found? Tulane doctoral student Luke Auld-Thomas joins The Excerpt to share how he stumbled into the discovery of a lifetime.
