Tesla's first robotaxi rides will have a ‘safety monitor' in the passenger seat

Tesla has begun sending out invitations for its highly anticipated robotaxi service, but there's one significant caveat: it's installing a 'safety monitor' in the front passenger seat, as previously reported by Electrek. The invites, which were sent to Tesla influencers and investors, say the human monitor will 'accompany you on your trip' when rides begin on June 22nd — a move that's at odds with Elon Musk's promise of fully unsupervised rides. Details about Tesla's robotaxi service have been slim in the weeks leading up to its launch, but Musk said in January that the company would launch its 'unsupervised' robotaxi service with 'no one in the car' this summer. Musk expanded on this in an April earnings call, saying the 10 to 20 Model Y vehicles would be remotely operated in the event of an emergency. Tesla's invitation outlines some requirements for robotaxi rides, including that riders must request service between 6AM and 12AM within a geofenced area, 'excluding airports.' It adds that 'service may be limited or unavailable in inclement weather,' which is often a challenge for autonomous vehicles. Invitees can bring one additional guest 18 or older. Over the past couple of months, Tesla has faced pressure from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has asked the EV-maker for more information about 'the ability of Tesla's system to react appropriately to reduced roadway visibility conditions.' Texas lawmakers have requested that Tesla delay its robotaxi launch until a revision to the state's autonomous driving law takes effect in September. It will require robotaxi services to get authorization from the Department of Motor Vehicles before operating without a human driver.

T-Mobile may soon offer 36 month installment plans, versus the current 24-month default

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A new report claims T-Mobile is at least considering 36-month EIPs, versus its current two-month contract for new devices. Not only is there an internal report claiming such a program is the in the works, a few smarwatches briefly showed the new terms live on T-Mobile's website before they were reverted back. It's possible 36-month EIP program will only apply to select devices like watches and tablets, though it's also certainly possible the carrier has postponed or cancelled the plan altogether. It has been years since Verizon and AT&T ditched two-year device installment plans in favor of 36-month payment plans, leaving T-Mobile as the only major carrier that doesn't lock customers into a three-year commitment. I've stated many times in the past that it was only a matter of time before the Uncarrier followed suit. It seems that time is finally approaching — at least if a new leak from The Mobile Report proves accurate. The publication points to multiple signs suggesting 36-month installments are coming soon, including a document privately shared with them detailing that 36-month Equipment Installment Plans (EIPs) are in the pipeline for at least some devices. Additionally, a few Galaxy Watch devices briefly showed the new 36-month EIP length on T-Mobile's website, as seen in the screenshot below. Andrew Grush / Android Authority Let's be honest: the Galaxy Watch incident was certainly no mere error. While the company may have prematurely posted it or decided to delay the official announcement, the deliberate mention of 36-month terms strongly suggests legitimacy. The bigger question is whether this change will apply broadly to all devices and plans. It's quite possible these new 36-month plans might be exclusive to accessories like tablets and watches, while smartphone installment plans remain unchanged. Still, it would also make sense for T-Mobile to completely phase out two-year EIPs. This move would not only lock customers in longer but also align with T-Mobile's recent shifts toward resembling the very carriers it once criticized. For example, the carrier recently began rolling taxes and fees into all newer plans, including watches, tablets, and nearly everything except home internet service. T-Mobile has also incrementally raised prices and fees across its services. However, T-Mobile would be taking a risk by making this shift. The carrier currently offers its New in Two program, which would need significant adjustments to accommodate the 36-month structure, potentially restricting it to specific devices or plans. Such a change would likely face backlash, further undermining the carrier's credibility and giving the world just another example of how T-Mobile isn't afraid to break its customer promises. After all, the Uncarrier has already made several recent changes that are largely considered regressive by its former fanbase, and frankly, two-year device payment plans remain one of the stronger advantages T-Mobile has left beyond its strong 5G network and its (slowly declining) T-Mobile Tuesdays program. For now, the only (near) certainty is that T-Mobile is at least considering introducing 36-month EIPs. T-Mobile customers: Would the end of 36-month EIPs drive you away? 0 votes Yes NaN % No NaN % Unsure/Other (Tell us more in comments) NaN % T-Mobile's other recent moves already drove me away! NaN % As for timing, that's anyone's guess. The product page changes and the internal document suggest T-Mobile may have intended to implement this alongside other recent fee and tax adjustments, but decided either to postpone or phase it in later to avoid making a bad situation even worse. Of course, this is purely speculation on my part. I've reached out to T-Mobile for comment, but with rumors like this we typically don't get much of an answer. Got a tip? Talk to us!

The AI era is here. Are you ready to lead?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a fringe experiment or a future-facing buzzword. It's a here-and-now force that's rapidly reshaping the modern business landscape. AI is already transforming how organizations operate—from how they close their books to how they engage with customers—and the pace is only accelerating. Are we ready for it? For too many leadership teams, the honest answer remains: not yet. AI's potential to improve back-office efficiency is well documented, particularly in finance functions that are often stretched thin. Intelligent automation can significantly reduce the time spent on tasks like transaction matching, reconciliations, and journal entries, freeing up teams to focus on higher-value activities like forecasting and strategic planning. Companies implementing intelligent process automation are seeing measurable impact in areas such as cash flow forecasting, anomaly detection, and real-time variance analysis. By drawing on clean, well-structured data, AI can surface patterns that eliminate risk and unlock opportunity, turning raw numbers into actionable insights. This evolution comes at a crucial time. Many finance departments are contending with a shrinking workforce and increasing expectations. Nearly 300,000 accountants and auditors have left the profession in the last two years, and the majority of CFOs now say they are responsible for enterprise-wide data and analytics. AI can help fill the gap if implemented thoughtfully. WHY RUSHING CAN LEAD TO FAILURE Obvious benefits aside, AI is not a silver bullet. Organizations that rush implementation without the right foundations risk doing more harm than good. Inaccurate data, poor governance, and a lack of human oversight can lead to flawed outputs, audit issues, and regulatory exposure. AI models trained on inconsistent or incomplete data can replicate human mistakes at scale, producing errors with more speed, not more accuracy. That's why clean, auditable data must be a non-negotiable starting point. Gartner predicted that 30% of generative AI projects will be abandoned after proof of concept by the end of 2025, in large part due to poor quality data. In other words: garbage in, garbage out. GOVERNANCE BEFORE GROWTH Before deploying AI at scale, leaders must build the proper guardrails. That starts with a robust data governance strategy that defines how data is collected, maintained, and used across the organization. Assigning data stewardship responsibilities, establishing quality standards, and ensuring alignment with regulatory frameworks are essential. Just as important is keeping human judgment in the loop. Especially in the Office of Finance, where compliance and auditability are paramount, AI tools should be explainable and traceable. The goal is not to replace decision makers, but to empower them with better information. Cross-functional collaboration between finance, IT, compliance, and legal teams is critical to achieving this balance. AI readiness is about people as much as it is about technology. Implementing AI effectively means helping employees evolve alongside it. That includes upskilling employees to become data-literate advisors, building comfort with new tools, and fostering a culture of experimentation balanced by accountability. Many of the skills teams already possess, such as data analysis, pattern recognition, and variance identification, map directly to AI-adjacent competencies. With the proper training and support, these professionals can become critical players in an AI-enabled function. LEADERS MUST GUIDE AI STRATEGY As AI becomes foundational to business success, it's no longer sufficient for executives to delegate its implementation to IT. CEOs and their leadership teams must play an active role in shaping AI strategy, from identifying high-impact use cases to defining clear KPIs. That includes assessing where AI can truly improve and where human judgment remains irreplaceable. It also means investing in the right tools—not necessarily the most complex or expensive ones, but those that simplify workflows and integrate well with existing systems. Ultimately, responsible AI leadership is about setting direction, removing friction, and creating a culture where teams feel both empowered and accountable. BUILD NOW OR SCRAMBLE LATER There's no doubt that AI will reshape how businesses operate. The only question is whether your organization will lead the way or struggle to catch up. A recent Deloitte survey of the financial services industry, an industry that typically is slow to adopt new technology, found that AI 'pioneers' or early adopters, see significantly more value from their AI deployments than 'followers' or those who are slow to bring the technology into their organization. Companies that act now by improving data quality, establishing governance, investing in their people, and piloting AI in high-impact areas will gain a durable competitive advantage. AI is not just a tool for transformation—it's a test of readiness. And in today's rapidly evolving landscape, readiness isn't optional—it's everything.
