November 21, 2025, 7:18 PM EST. London police say more than 100,000 mobile phone thefts were reported in 2024, highlighting a holiday safety risk. A curious pattern emerges: thieves reportedly return or discard Samsung devices after hearing, "Don't want no Samsung." The article notes there are no official figures on brand popularity among criminals, but implies that resale value and device protections influence theft decisions. Samsung's Theft Detection Lock is cited as a potential deterrent, while high-value iPhones likely drive much of the market. Whether these cases reflect a wider trend or isolated incidents remains unclear; the piece originated with PC-WELT.

November 21, 2025, 7:16 PM EST. Google is expanding its AI reach with Gemini on Android Auto, rolling out to 45 countries and potentially 250 million cars. After upgrading Google Assistant to Gemini, drivers can engage in hands-free conversations to get activity recommendations, compose and edit messages (with translations for 40 languages), and manage emails, calendars, and notes. The update taps into Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Keep, and even Samsung Calendar/Notes, with more third-party support planned. Five use cases include requesting stops, drafting messages, searching mail/calendar, creating music playlists, and rehearsing a speech. While convenient, safety concerns about distraction at highway speeds persist. Google says more features are coming as Gemini expands its AI in vehicles.

November 21, 2025, 7:14 PM EST. Tesla aims to push its robotaxi rollout toward operating without a safety driver by 2026, per CEO Elon Musk. The company contrasts its cautious approach-paranoid about safety- with Waymo's history, highlighting miles driven and incident rates. By end of Q3, Tesla reported seven collisions across more than 250,000 robotaxi miles, implying a higher collision rate than Waymo's 2.1 incidents per million miles and the rough 67,000 miles benchmark Musk referenced. It's important to note safety drivers may have intervened in some Tesla events, and small-number variability can swing averages. Still, Tesla has far more data from its FSD program, which could help improve robotaxi performance as the rollout matures. The takeaway for investors: the timeline is uncertain, but the risk-reward hinges on safety improvements, data leverage, and scale into 2026.
