Tesla has started pushing its Full Self-Driving Beta v10 software, a version that CEO Elon Musk called “mind-blowing”, to its early access fleet.

Are your minds blown yet?

Mine is blown that Tesla actually stuck to the latest FSD timeline from Musk – “latest” being the keyword.

We are coming up on almost a year since Tesla started testing its Full Self-Driving Beta in its early access program with some customers.

The software enables Tesla vehicles to virtually drive themselves both on highways and city streets, but it is still considered a level 2 driver assist since it requires driver supervision at all times. The driver remains responsible for the vehicle, needs to keep their hands on the steering wheel, and be ready to take control.

CEO Elon Musk has been promising a wider release of the Full Self-Driving Beta software to customers who purchased the FSD package, but the release has been delayed for a while.

More recently, the CEO has linked the wider release to Tesla pushing a new FSD Beta version 10 update, which has been expected after two more “point releases” in the coming weeks.

That release was also pushed but two weeks ago, Musk said that it would be coming on Friday, September 10 and we learn that it is now being pushed to customers in the early access fleet.

Several Tesla owners in the early access program have reported receiving the new software update:

It’s still the middle of the night in the US, but some are already posting early demos of the updated software that is supposedly greatly improving the decision making of the FSD system:

The driving visualizations have been updated. They look very clean above, but they change with the situation.

Here are how they look in a Model X, which displays the visualizations on its instrument cluster screen:

We expect to see several Youtube videos of more interesting drives in traffic coming out in the next few days.

It should give us a more interesting look and confirm whether or not the update is truly mind-blowing as Musk said several times.

The CEO also said that the wider release (download button) should come by the end of the month and therefore, they only have a few weeks to test it in the early access fleet.

Musk had previously mentioned that Tesla had been testing the new software internally for the last few weeks.

Rolex stolen from Keanu Reeves's LA home found in Chile, according to police

A Rolex stolen from John Wick star Keanu Reeves has been found in Chile, according to police in the South American country.

The watch, which is believed to have been taken from the Hollywood actor in Los Angeles in December 2023, was discovered after an arrest linked to crimes in the nation’s capital Santiago.

Pictures posted online by the Investigations Police of Chile show an engraving on the back of the Rolex Submariner, which says: “The John Wick Five. Keanu Thank You JW4 2021.”

Rolex Submariners were reportedly given to members of the team that filmed the fourth instalment of the franchise, including stuntmen.

Police said jewels, valuable watches and other items were seized including “a watch from a famous film actor, victim of a robbery in Los Angeles (USA) in December 2023”.

A police official confirmed the Rolex belonged to The Matrix star Reeves in a television interview with Chilean broadcaster TVN and said they were working with Los Angeles police to get it back to him.

Los Angeles police told Sky News’ US bureau that the burglary investigation is ongoing and that there were no further updates.

His Los Angeles home was targeted by masked burglars in December 2023 while he was not there, according to TMZ.

The celebrity news site reported a firearm was taken, but it was not clear if anything else was stolen in the raid.

In February 2023, Reeves was granted a restraining order against a man who allegedly made a number of unwanted visits to his home – including going to sleep in his back garden.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reach divorce settlement after eight years

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached a settlement after eight years in one of the longest and most bitter divorces in Hollywood history.

In a statement, Jolie’s attorney James Simon said: “More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr Pitt.

“She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.

“This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago.

“Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.”

No court documents have been filed yet, and a judge will need to sign off on the agreement.

Jolie, 49, and Pitt, 61, were one of Hollywood’s most prominent couples for 12 years. The two Oscar winners have six children together.

The Maleficent star filed for divorce in 2016, following a private jet flight from Europe during which she said Pitt was abusive towards her and their children.

In 2019, a judge declared them divorced and single, but the settling of their assets and child custody had to be decided separately.

This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

Liam Payne: Five charged in connection with death of One Direction star, as judge details his final moments

Liam Payne: Five charged in connection with death of One Direction star, as judge details his final moments

Five people have been charged in connection with the death of One Direction star Liam Payne in Argentina.

Three people have been charged with negligent homicide and two have been charged with supplying drugs, the Argentinian Public Prosecutor’s Office said.

The 31-year-old pop star died after he fell from a third-floor balcony at the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires on 16 October.

Negligent homicide – similar to gross negligent manslaughter in the UK – carries a sentence of one to five years, while supplying drugs carries a sentence of up to 15 years.

Roger Nores, described as a “representative” of Payne, was one of those charged with negligent homicide, alongside hotel manager Gilda Martin and receptionist Esteban Grassi.

A hotel employee, Ezequiel Pereyra, and waiter, Braian Paiz, have been charged with supplying drugs on two occasions.

All five have been summoned to appear in court.

A statement from the judge and public prosecutor today said Payne had been “demanding” drugs and alcohol during his stay at the hotel.

On the 16 December, Payne was in the hotel lobby and “unable to stand” due to the “consumption of various substances”, the court document said.

The receptionist and two others “dragged” the singer to his room, and the manager allowed this to happen “at least by omission”.

Given Payne’s “altered” consciousness and the access to a balcony from the room, the “proper thing to do was to leave him in a safe place and with company until a doctor arrived”, according to the judge.

They also accused Payne’s representative, Nores, of leaving Payne on his own in the hotel in a “state of vulnerability”, despite knowing about Payne’s previous addiction problems and that the fact Nores could “not trust that the rest of the hotel staff would act appropriately”.

The judge described Payne’s death as “foreseeable”.

The prosecutor’s office previously ruled out self-harm as a factor in the One Direction star’s death, and said he did not adopt a reflex posture to protect himself from the fall, meaning it can be inferred he may have fallen “in a state of semi or total unconsciousness”.

The new document today reiterated the hypothesis that Payne had “tried to leave the room through the balcony and thus fell”.

The results of toxicology tests revealed that before his death, Payne had traces of alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant in his body.

According to the post-mortem examination, Payne died from “multiple” injuries and internal and external bleeding.

Argentine investigators found what appeared to be narcotics and alcohol strewn around broken objects and furniture in Payne’s hotel room, leading the public prosecution to surmise he had suffered a substance abuse-induced breakdown around the time of his fall.
