December 7, 2025, 5:44 PM EST. NHTSA has identified at least 80 instances where Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) reportedly ran red lights or crossed into the wrong lane, per a new letter to Tesla. The agency says 62 driver complaints, 14 reports submitted by Tesla, and four media accounts comprise the tally-up from about 50 violations cited when the investigation began in October. The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) is probing whether FSD can reliably detect traffic signals, signs and lane markings and whether the software issues adequate warnings. Tesla must respond by January 19, 2026. The letter opens the discovery phase and requests data on how many vehicles are FSD-equipped, how often the software is engaged, and any related customer complaints, lawsuits or arbitration. This comes alongside a separate 2024 probe into low-visibility scenarios.
December 7, 2025, 5:42 PM EST. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon told Fox News that AI is unlikely to dramatically reduce jobs in the next year, provided it is properly regulated. He compared AI progress to tractors, fertilizer, and vaccines that save lives, while acknowledging possible downsides. Dimon argues that, even if some roles disappear, many people will transition to new opportunities, especially with a phased adoption guided by government and big business. His advice for workers centers on critical thinking, building EQ, and strong communication and writing skills to stay relevant. If adoption accelerates too fast, the plan must phase in AI to minimize harm and emphasize retraining.

December 7, 2025, 5:28 PM EST. HP chief commercial officer David McQuarrie argues that a rising focus on privacy and security could unlock AI PCs that run locally rather than rely on cloud data centers. Local AI can reassure users that input data isn't used to train models. HP is exploring AI PCs that leverage on-device models, with a long-term view that such devices will become ubiquitous as power and efficiency improve. Smaller firms may benefit from compact models kept on premises instead of sending data to the cloud. Governments in Asia are pushing data sovereignty, from China to Singapore, boosting local AI efforts. Asia is HP's fastest-growing region, generating about a quarter of revenue, and leadership sees potential for rapid adoption there.
