Tesla ordered by Florida jury to pay $329 million in Autopilot crash
(Reuters) -A Florida jury on Friday found Tesla liable in the 2019 fatal crash of an Autopilot-equipped Model S, and ordered Elon Musk's automaker to pay $329 million to the family of a deceased woman and an injured survivor. The payout includes $129 million of compensatory damages and $200 million of punitive damages. Tesla was sued by the estate of Naibel Benavides Leon, and by her former boyfriend Dillon Angulo. The lawsuit concerned an April 25, 2019 incident where George McGee drove his 2019 Model S at about 62 mph (100 kph) through an intersection into the victims' parked Chevrolet Tahoe as they were standing beside it on a shoulder. "Tesla designed Autopilot only for controlled access highways yet deliberately chose not to restrict drivers from using it elsewhere," Brett Schreiber, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said in a statement. "Today's verdict represents justice for Naibel's tragic death and Dillon's lifelong injuries." Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Android TV is getting ready to kill off the Discover tab... last month? (APK teardown)
Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Android TV currently offers a Discover tab for getting recommendations and building your watchlist. A new update to the system launcher suggests that Google's planning to drop Discover and move your watchlist to the Home tab. Confusingly, Google's messaging in the app suggest that this change was supposed to take place in July. What does your usage of Android TV look like? Google's big-screen entertainment platform certainly tries to act as a hub that not just organizes all your streaming options in one place, but helps steer you in the direction of what you might want to check out next. Are you taking advantage of that, though, checking in on the Discover tab to get some recommendations from Google? Or are you more likely to dive right in to your favorite streaming app itself, and learn about what's new on a service-by-service basis? We wonder just how many users fall into that latter camp — and Google probably has been too, as the company seems to be getting ready to kill off Discover as we know it. ⚠️ An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. At least, Google sure looks like it was getting ready to put an end to the Discover tab in Android TV. We're just a little less than sure if that plan is still in motion. Looking over the changes in Google's 7.1.7-787904429-f update for the Android TV Home app — basically the Android TV launcher that provides the base UI — we've identified some new text strings that reference plans to remove Discover: Code Copy Text Your recommendations and watchlist will move to the 'Home' tab. The Discover tab is going away soon The Home tab can already function as a reasonable enough tool for finding new content, especially when you add a few channel rows for your favorite apps. Consolidating Discover recommendations there makes enough sense if Google's looking to clean up some of Android TV's sprawl, and bringing the watchlist along sounds just fine. Considering how straightforward those strings read, where's our confusion coming from? Well, we also found these new strings: Code Copy Text The Discover tab was removed in July 2025. Also, customise your recommendation is on Home tab Your watchlist have moved to Home tab Today marks the start of August, and we're still seeing the Discover tab on all the Android TV devices we checked. More than that, we haven't yet seen the 'going away soon' message displayed, which sure seems intended to give users a bit of a heads-up in advance of the removal. For the moment, color us a little confused about Google's intentions here. Perhaps plans to kill Discover have already been canceled, but this unused code still managed to sneak in to a public build. Or maybe Discover really will be going away, but Google's had to push its timetable back a little. We'll keep an eye out for any further Android TV updates that might shed more light on the company's plans. Follow

Bose's QuietComfort Headphones are $130 off for back-to-school season
Finding peace among the chaos on campus can be more challenging than a midterm. But a quality pair of over-ear headphones can block out distractions when it's time to lock in. If that sounds like you, we've found a deal on the Bose QuietComfort Headphones, which are currently down to $229 ($130 off) at Amazon, Bose, and Best Buy. That's within $30 of the lowest price we've seen all year. The Bose QuietComfort Headphones are part of the company's revamped lineup of headphones and earbuds, which also includes the pricier QC Ultra Headphones, QC Ultra Earbuds, and entry-level QC Earbuds, the last of which is down to $149 ($30 off) at Amazon, Bose, and Best Buy. The QC Headphones preserve the comfortable design of the QC45s and include Bose's excellent noise cancellation. Although we haven't reviewed this specific model, the upgraded QC Headphones Ultra is our favorite noise-canceling headphones for travel, and we're generally fans of the line's comfortable earcup cushions. There are two listening modes — Quiet and Aware — that let you quickly toggle between blocking the outside world and letting ambient noise in. Additionally, Bose says the QC headphones offer up to 24 hours of battery life, so you should be able to get through a full day without needing to recharge. The headphones also support multipoint connectivity, making it possible to pair them with two devices simultaneously. And when you're finally done writing that last-minute term paper, the QC headphones can neatly fold up to make it easier to store them in your bag.
