Tesla is acquiring AI startup DeepScale. Forrest Iandola, DeepScale’s CEO, said on LinkedIn that he joined Tesla’s Autopilot team, which has lost many executives and engineers to companies like Nvidia, GM Cruise, Google, Lyft, and more.

Waymo and the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Tuesday that the Golden State had approved a permit for the self-driving-car company to drive in a handful of Silicon Valley cities. Some believe that it may present a warning to GM and Tesla.
