Weekly output: Zoox, FCC on broadband, Trump 2.0 cybersecurity, NextGen Acela WiFi, Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, Myriam Joire podcast
This was a big week for wrapping up stories that I had begun reporting out in a previous month–not September, but August. I’m now mostly caught up on those projects and behind on a post I owe from the cable-industry group SCTE’s conference in D.C. last week.
I also barely managed to avoid falling behind in my commitment to Patreon readers to write two exclusive posts a month: I published September’s second, a look at how some freelance tech journalists cover travel costs to events like IFA and MWC by arranging sponsorships from individual exhibitors, with less than seven hours left in the month.
9/30/2025: Amazon’s Zoox Launches First Stage of Robotaxi-Service Testing in DC, PCMag
Spending all of Monday at SCTE’s event meant that I had to finish writing this during the cocktail hour at a press dinner at All-Purpose across the street from the convention center.
10/1/2025: FCC Tries to Speed Up Broadband Buildouts But Cuts School Wi-Fi Support, PCMag
I spent much more time talking to Public Knowledge’s telecom-law expert Harold Feld than the brief quotes in this story might suggest–which happens every time I ask Harold if I can borrow some of his extensive insight for a story.
10/1/2025: U.S. cybersecurity was bad during the first Trump administration. Somehow, it’s getting worse, Fast Company
I started working on this before Black Hat, got some useful quotes for it during that security conference in Las Vegas, then quizzed a couple of experts in the weeks after, then got seriously sidetracked from being out of town for the first two weeks of September.
10/2/2025: I Tested the Wi-Fi on Amtrak’s NextGen Acela. Bad News: You No Longer Have an Excuse to Skip Work, PCMag
Amtrak took much longer than I expected to get back to me on some of the more technical questions I had after my introduction to NextGen Acela at the end of August, and then I realized that I could refresh my reporting and get some comparative data points about WiFi on Amtrak’s older Northeast Regional trains by making a quick trip to Baltimore and back on Monday afternoon.
10/4/2025: Want to Buy Meta’s Ray-Ban Display Smart Glasses? You May Have to Work For It, PCMag
My tech-analyst friend Avi Greengart’s LinkedIn post about his unsuccessful attempt to buy a pair of these augmented-reality glasses struck me as newsworthy to reshare on that platform. I also shared it on PCMag’s Slack, and one of my colleagues then suggested there was a post to be written about Meta’s weird retail-distribution strategy.
After years of showing up at the same tech events with my friend and fellow avgeek Myriam, I finally showed up on her podcast. Among many other topics we discussed, I particularly appreciated our exchange about the possibile utility of smart glasses; she’s more optimistic about their odds of becoming a consumer-scale gadget than I am, but we agree that Meta is not the ideal company to champion this category.

Tesla Robotaxi Reports 3 Crashes in Austin in July, Hides Details

As the bad news about Tesla's double digit declining sales around the world kept coming for the past 6 months, along with #Cybetruck disaster, mass exodus of employees including some top talent, #robotaxi unspectacular launch in #Austin and competition leaving #Tesla in rear view mirror, #TeslaStock barely makes a move. But when they get an expected sales bump due to expiring tax credit in the US, which will likely fall back the next quarter, the price is through the roof. It's a cult 🤡

"
Tesla’s Robotaxis are already crashing
"
".. Tesla has suffered three notable accidents in approximately 11,000km of real-world testing is concerning, as is the fact the company was only operating approximately 20 Robotaxi at the time."

Zoox asks federal regulators for exemption to launch a commercial robotaxi service
Before jump on the bandwagon and take a #RoboTaxi think about this.
Each RoboTaxi means 1 less cab, Uber or other driver.
What's #RoboFactory, no human factory workers, FedEx, UPS drivers? Robo Bar tenders?
What could go wrong with this?

AV should always make use of LIDAR and other SOTA sensors for navigation. Public Safety is more important than profit.

Three crashes in the first day? Tesla’s robotaxi test in Austin. https://arstechni.ca/u372 #robotaxi #Tesla #Cars #FSD
Arstechnica: Three crashes in the first day? Tesla’s robotaxi test in Austin.
"...Two of the three Tesla crashes involved another car rear-ending the Model Y, and at least one of these crashes was almost certainly not the Tesla's fault. But the third crash saw a Model Y—with the required safety operator on board—collide with a stationary object at low speed, resulting in a minor injury. Templeton also notes that there was a fourth crash that occurred in a parking lot and therefore wasn't reported. Sadly, most of the details in the crash reports have been redacted by Tesla...."

🌗 特斯拉試圖隱瞞三起Robotaxi事故
➤ 監管壓力與資訊不透明:特斯拉Robotaxi事故報告疑雲
✤ https://electrek.co/2025/09/17/tesla-hide-3-robotaxi-accidents/
特斯拉的Robotaxi服務在德州奧斯汀推出僅兩個月,就發生了三起事故,但該公司疑似試圖隱瞞事故細節。根據法規,汽車製造商須在五天內向NHTSA報告涉及自動駕駛系統的事故。特斯拉過去未曾報告過SAE Level 3-5級別的自動駕駛事故,但其Robotaxi服務的推出改變了這一狀況。這三起事故均發生在七月,其中一起造成輕微傷害。與其他競爭對手不同,特斯拉向NHTSA提交的報告中,塗抹了所有事故細節,導致外界難以瞭解事故的背景和責任歸屬。即使配有安全監控員,特斯拉的Robotaxi仍發生事故,這也引起了NHTSA對其事故報告的調查。外界質疑特斯拉並未提供足夠數據證明其系統的可靠性,尤其是在取消安全監控員的承諾背景下。
+ 這家公司總是試圖規避責任,難怪Elon Musk的
