This time, it’s something called Boombox that caught the eye of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). What’s wrong with Boombox, you ask? I’ll allow this tweet to explain: Change your horn sound to 🐐, 🐍🎷, 💨 or holiday jingles with latest Tesla software update! — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 25, 2020 Because, hell, who in their right minds would want their car to make a boring ol’ horn sound?

This past Saturday and Monday, a UH-60A Black Hawk helicopter took flight for the first time without anyone on board. Each time, the helicopter successfully completed 30 minutes of autonomous flight, according to a press release from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
