The automated technology that was supposed to produce driverless vehicles hasn't quite lived up to its hype -- at least not yet. Another accident involving Tesla's automated driving features illustrates some of the dangers presented by the technology.
In 2016, Tesla's top executives announced that it expected driverless cars to be able to cross the country on their own within two short years. As it turns out, it can be a challenge just to get one to exit a garage safely.
In prison, your right to privacy is sharply limited, even on the phone. In fact, you'll probably see a sign warning that all of your phone calls are being recorded. You may even get a reminder message before you start to dial.
