Tesla Cybercabs turn up in NYC.

Miami is looking like the next market for Elon Musk’s steering-wheel-less autonomous vehicles. But a few of the gold two-seaters were spotted in New York City — albeit with steering wheels and human safety monitors driving manually. It’s likely just a marketing maneuver, since fully autonomous vehicles are prohibited in New York. Governor Kathy Hochul recently reversed a decision to allow Waymo to deploy its vehicles outside the city after pushback from labor groups.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Video Review - IGN

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 reviewed by Will Borger on PC, also available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S."Fireteam Elite 2 doesn’t reinvent the wheel. It’s best alongside three friends for a full squad, but it’s fun enough solo as well. The story isn’t anything to write home about, but the characters are likeable, the missions are fun, and the new Specialist class provides a cool way to further customize your kit. There are some bugs in this bug hunt, but they don’t distract from the action too much. Turns out blasting Xernos and synths is a good time with friends, and there is a lot of blasting to be done thanks to the Horde mode and a smart unlockable system that encourages you to replay levels, explore each class, and try new things. It may not quite be a glorious day in the corps, but it’s damn close."
