‘TERRIFYING’: Katherine Waterston isn’t a big fan of artificial intelligence.

“Like all technology, there’s the potential for incredible innovation and a real threat and obviously needs to be highly regulated,” she told Fox News Digital.

Rivian opens up its charging network to other EVs for the first time

Rivian opens up its charging network to other EVs for the first time

Rivian’s latest EV charging station is the first to be open to other companies’ vehicles.

The new station located in California’s Joshua Tree National Park will be the companies’ first that’s available to non-Rivian electric vehicles. The station features a new design, including larger displays with a tap-to-pay option, that can accommodate any car brands’ EVs.

Currently, the Rivian Adventure Network, which comprises 560 chargers at 92 sites across the country, are exclusive to owners of the company’s R1T and R1S vehicles. This was a similar approach to Tesla, which initially built its own Supercharger network so it could offer exclusive charging to its own customers.

But with billions of dollars in federal funding at stake, automakers are now reassessing this exclusivity. One of the requirements for receiving federal funding for EV charging installation is that chargers need to be available to all EVs, not just a single brand.

Rivian’s EV chargers use the standard CCS connector for DC fast charging. But the stations are still exclusive to Rivian vehicles thanks to proprietary software. With today’s announcement, the company is beginning the process of unwinding that exclusivity.

Rivian spokesperson Evan Barbour said that the company’s future EV charging sites will also be open to non-Rivian EVs. Rivian plans to open additional charging sites in Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Montana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New York before the end of 2024.

Meanwhile, current stations will be retrofitted with software updates to accommodate other brands, as well as hardware updates to add NACS charging plugs. In the meantime, the Joshua Tree location and others will be available to Tesla owners with NACS-to-CCS adapters.

Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting reportedly didn’t use a Citi Bike to escape

Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting reportedly didn’t use a Citi Bike to escape

CNN is reporting that according to an unnamed source in law enforcement, the person who shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside the Hilton hotel in midtown Manhattan fled on an e-bike, but not a Citi Bike, as NYPD Chief of Detectives Joe Kenney previously said during a press conference.

Thompson had been scheduled to appear at the company’s investor meeting, which was canceled a few hours later. Kenney said it looked like the killer “specifically targeted” Thompson and that “at this point, we do not know why.” The CEO’s wife, Paulette Thompson, told NBC News that “there had been some threats.”

In an email to The Verge, Lyft spokesperson Eric Smith had said previously that the company was “ready to assist law enforcement.” Had the shooter used one of the bikes owned by Lyft, it might have left a digital trail and GPS data while the shooter was renting or using the vehicle.

Other updates from CNN’s sources say that investigators have recovered a cell phone from the alley the attacker ran through after the shooting that may belong to them, as well as a bottle of water he was seen purchasing, along with two PowerBars, at a Starbucks just before the attack. Additionally, they said police have video of the suspect from earlier in the morning, “carrying what appears to be a battery for an electric bike.”

Another element is what law enforcement called the attacker’s “distinctive” backpack, which many people believe is Peak Design’s Everyday Backpack V1 in a charcoal or ash color, based on its shape, color, and the straps visible in the pictures from Starbucks.

NYPD shared images of the shooter, including one of them on the bike, and asked that anyone with “information as to the identity or location of this individual” contact police at 1-800-577-TIPS. Police officials had been spotted asking around for video footage of a Citi Bike kiosk on Madison Avenue and 82nd Street in Manhattan early Wednesday afternoon, according to The New York Times.

Update, December 4th: Updated based on the report attacker did not use a Citi Bike, as police previously indicated, and added additional info from CNN.
