Tesla Model Y achieves first fully autonomous delivery to customer
MOSCOW: Tesla has achieved a groundbreaking milestone with its first fully autonomous delivery of a Model Y electric car to a customer. The vehicle successfully navigated from the factory to the buyer's home without any human assistance, including highway driving.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the achievement on X, stating, 'The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!!'
The Model Y, equipped with Tesla's 'full self-driving' capability, completed the journey without remote operators or any human presence inside the car. The test run took place in Austin, Texas, showcasing the vehicle's ability to handle real-world driving conditions.
Priced starting at approximately US$44,990, the Model Y represents Tesla's push toward fully autonomous transportation. Musk had previously indicated in late May that the first autonomous delivery would occur in June.

SK Group is said to consider selling stake in Malaysian waste firm Cenviro
SK Group is considering selling its minority holding in Cenviro Sdn. in a deal that could value the Malaysian waste management company at about US$300mil, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The South Korean conglomerate is working with a financial adviser on a potential sale of its 30% stake, the people said, asking not to be identified because the process is private. SK has been in touch with prospective investors, including industry peers and private equity firms, two of the people said. SK invested in Cenviro in 2022 through SK Ecoplant Co. for an undisclosed sum. Malaysian sovereign wealth fund Khazanah Nasional Bhd. is Cenviro's majority shareholder. Considerations are ongoing and SK may decide to keep the stake, one of the people said. Representatives for Cenviro and SK ecoplant declined to comment. If SK proceeds with a sale, it would be in line with its shift away from the waste management business: South Korean media has reported that it plans to also sell its Renewus and RenewOne units. SK has been going through a wider restructuring after a lengthy acquisition spree that burdened it with liabilities. The conglomerate is also focusing its attention more on areas such as artificial intelligence and chips. - Bloomberg

Malaysia, Russia to deepen economic ties
MOSCOW: Malaysia and Russia will deepen economic cooperation, particularly in high-potential sectors such as the halal industry, agriculture and food security, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said. He said bilateral trade between the two countries remained modest in 2024, despite Russia's large economy. Russia ranked as Malaysia's ninth-largest trading partner among European nations this year, with total trade reaching RM11.46 billion (US$2.48 billion). Malaysia's key exports to Russia include electrical and electronic products, machinery, equipment and parts, as well as processed food. "I invited Russian companies to invest in Malaysia and take advantage of the government's incentives in strategic sectors such as aerospace, agrotechnology, energy, ICT (information and communications technology), the digital economy, Islamic finance and the halal industry," he said at a press conference at the end of his four-day working visit to Russia late last night. Fadillah, who is also the energy transition and water transformation minister, called for cooperation in agriculture and food security, and proposed joint research and development in fertiliser and pesticide technologies, agro-engineering and food technology. "I discussed collaboration in higher education and conveyed appreciation to the Russian government for its scholarships to Malaysian students. "I also proposed that these scholarships be extended to emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence, big data and information science, in line with current industrial transformation," he said. On tourism, Fadillah said Malaysia welcomed a proposal for direct flights between the two countries, which is expected to be finalised soon. However, he said that Russia had raised concerns over financial transactions, which had to some extent hampered the growth of bilateral trade. He gave an assurance that the Malaysian government, through the relevant agencies, including Bank Negara Malaysia, would continue to facilitate smooth financial transactions between both sides. "I will present the outcomes of my discussions with Russian counterparts to the cabinet upon my return to Malaysia. "Insya-Allah, I am confident that Malaysia-Russia cooperation will continue to develop positively and bring tangible benefits to our country," he added. – Bernama
