NHTSA requests info after Tesla crashes into fire truck

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Monday it has asked Tesla to provide more information after one of its vehicles crashed into a fire truck in California, Bloomberg reported . The agency did not confirm to TechCrunch what kind of information it is seeking, but NHTSA likely wants to determine whether one of Tesla’s advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) — Autopilot or Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta — was engaged at the time of the crash. The Contra Costa County fire department tweeted about the incident Saturday, asking road users to slow down and move over when approaching emergency vehicles. “Truck 1 was struck by a Tesla while blocking I-680 lanes from a previous accident,” the tweet said. “Driver pronounced dead on-scene; passenger was extricated & transported to hospital. Four firefighters also transported for evaluation.” The tweet included photos of the accident, including several of a completely totaled Tesla. Slow down and move over wh

Save 49% on the best VPN for unblocking Hotstar from anywhere in the world

SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN is the best VPN for unblocking leading streaming sites. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £85.41 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time. Disney+ Hotstar (or just Hotstar) is one of the most popular streaming platforms in the world, with millions of active users enjoying the wide range of hit shows and movies. It's an impressive service, but it's not perfect. Hotstar is not available all around the world, so if you're trying to connect from a location that doesn't support the service, you'll need to use a VPN to stream. If you attempt to stream on Hotstar from outside the limited number of supported countries, you'll be blocked by the service. This is obviously frustrating, especially if you're desperately trying to keep up with your favourite show. All is not lost though, because you can bypass this annoying blockade with a streaming-friendly service like ExpressVPN. All you ne

Carbon Maps helps the food industry reduce their climate impact

Meet Carbon Maps , a new French startup that raised $4.3 million (€4 million) just a few weeks after its inception. The company is building a software-as-a-service platform for the food industry so that they can track the environmental impact of each of their products in their lineup. The platform can be used as a basis for eco ratings. While there are quite a few carbon accounting startups like Greenly , Sweep , Persefoni and Watershed , Carbon Maps isn’t an exact competitor as it doesn’t calculate a company’s carbon emissions as a whole. It doesn’t focus on carbon emissions exclusively either. Carbon Maps focuses on the food industry and evaluates the environmental impact of products — not companies. Co-founded by Patrick Asdaghi, Jérémie Wainstain and Estelle Huynh, the company managed to raise a seed round with Breega and Samaipata — these two VC firms already invested in Asdaghi’s previous startup, FoodChéri . FoodChéri is a full-stack food delivery company that designs it

'The Last of Us' episode 6 features a heartbreaking musical callback

From Linda Ronstadt to Hank Williams , The Last of Us has reliably gifted us with memorable needle drops. Now, we can add another to that list thanks to episode 6, which delivers a particularly devastating musical moment — one that calls all the way back to the very first episode. Episode 6, titled "Kin," ends on a horrifying cliffhanger. Joel ( Pedro Pascal ) gets stabbed in a fight, and although he and Ellie ( Bella Ramsey ) are able to escape from immediate danger on horseback, it's clear he's in bad shape. He collapses in the snow, leaving Ellie to plead with him to get up. As the camera pulls out, we hear a somber piano and a voice singing, "I'm taking a ride with my best friend / I hope he never lets me down again / He knows where he's taking me / Taking me where I want to be / I'm taking a ride with my best friend." Sound familiar? That's because we've heard these lyrics before: when Joel, Ellie, and Tess (Anna Torv) leave th
