This is the latest from our ongoing investigation matching Tesla’s redacted NHTSA reports to real, named crashes. more…

arXiv:2609.14249v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Complex engineering optimization problems are often characterized by multimodality, high dimensionality, and nonlinear constraints, posing significant challenges for efficient and reliable computation. To address these challenges, this paper develops a hybrid crossover-based optimization framework that enhances population interaction and improves search efficiency. The proposed framework integrates two complementary mechanisms, namely a Levy long jump crossover strategy for global exploration and a horizontal-vertical crossover strategy for effective information exchange and local refinement, thereby improving convergence behavior and robustness. To support scalable computation, the method is implemented within a unified multi-backend computational framework based on FEALPy, enabling consistent and efficient execution across heterogeneous platforms, including NumPy and PyTorch on both CPU and GPU. This design enhances portability,

arXiv:2609.13907v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pharmaceutical sales forecasts inform planning across products, regions, and distribution channels, yet their interpretation depends on inventory availability, transaction semantics, product lifecycle, and the information available when each forecast is issued. A model prediction alone does not preserve these conditions or establish whether a forecast is suitable for operational use. We present Phorecaster365, a human-supervised reference architecture that connects enterprise resource planning data to reviewable pharmaceutical sales forecasts. The architecture separates source ingestion, product-region series construction, temporally valid feature generation, statistical and machine-learning modeling, ensemble formation, uncertainty assessment, planner review, and lifecycle governance. Its central intermediate representation is a forecast context package that preserves the source snapshot, forecast target, temporal cutoff, available

Hyundai Motor’s autonomous driving road map is putting its ability to keep pace with Tesla under scrutiny, as the U.S. automaker rapidly gains stronger ground in Korea’s electric vehicle (EV) market. Last week, Hyundai Motor Group’s self-driving arm — 42dot — said it will introduce cars with Level 2+ autonomous driving technology based on Nvidia’s platform in the first half of 2028, followed by Level 2++ technology later that year. Vehicles equipped with the carmaker’s proprietary Atria artificial intelligence (AI) system will also be mass-produced in the second half of 2029, according to 42dot. Under the road map, the automaker seeks to close the gap with Tesla and other overseas autonomous driving leaders. But the timeline for Hyundai Motor's self-driving commercialization still leaves much to be desired, as Tesla has already turned into a consumer-facing product. Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised system is already available in Korea in limited form, although regulatory
