Bad weather returns to UAE, and several flights canceled amid heavy rains, and thunderstorms.

by Leave a Comment

Two weeks after Dubai was battered by record storms that paralyzed the emirate for days, heavy rains and thunderstorms pounded the UAE on Thursday, forcing the cancellation of many international flights.
The National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) of the nation increased the system’s readiness and preparedness levels on Wednesday to handle the crisis.

The public is advised to take measures even though it is anticipated that these rains will not be as bad as the extraordinary deluge that slammed the nation last month. The Arabian Peninsula was pounded by intense rains on April 14–15, with Dubai receiving the most rain in the city’s history since 1949. Due to severe weather across the United Arab Emirates, Dubai-based Emirates Airline said on Thursday that it was canceling many flights. This came as a result of lower traffic at Dubai International Airport (DXB).

Why does Tesla value China more than India?

“Customers arriving or departing from Dubai airport on 2 May can expect some delays as flights are rescheduled,” Emirates said in a statement. The following flights have been canceled on May 2: EK 123/124 – between Dubai and Istanbul, EK 763/764 – between Dubai and Johannesburg, EK 719/720 – between Dubai and Nairobi, Ek 921/922 – between Dubai and Cairo, EK 903/904 – between Dubai and Amman, and EK 352/353 – between Dubai and Singapore (EK353 departing 3 May, 12.30 am – UAE time). The airline has also waived rebooking charges to help stranded passengers.

“Based on the expected weather conditions, the Ministry of Interior recommended, in coordination with NCEMA, activating remote learning on Thursday and Friday for all educational institutions, with decisions to be made by the competent authorities at the federal level and officials of local emergency management teams, in coordination with the Ministry of Education and the Emirates Schools Establishment,” it said on Wednesday.

As heavy winds and light rains lashed across the main cities, residents appeared more equipped to ride it out. Remote work systems were advised for all government and private sectors on Thursday and Friday, except for vital jobs that require presence at the workplace and those involved in response and recovery efforts. The Ministry of Interior, in coordination with NCEMA, also decided to close all roads leading to areas prone to flash floods, water accumulations, and dams during the weather conditions.

“They urged the public to stay away from these areas and adhere to safety standards and guidelines, avoid mountainous, desert, and coastal areas,” said a statement. Besides moderate to heavy rain in scattered areas, accompanied by occasional lightning and thunder, a possibility of small hail, concentrated in the western regions, on the coasts, and in some eastern areas has also been warned.

Some flights were disrupted on Wednesday and some events were postponed due to the inclement weather conditions. Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways said its flight (EY197) from Mumbai to Abu Dhabi Zayed International Airport (AUH) was diverted to Al-Ain “due to adverse weather conditions in Abu Dhabi.” The flight, which was scheduled to arrive in Abu Dhabi around 1.35 pm, eventually landed around 7-30 pm.

In Dubai, the Ports, Customs, and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC) announced the temporary suspension of accepting requests for the entry and departure of wooden dhows in Dubai. The PCFC has also advised sailors to avoid sailing during this time to ensure everyone’s safety. As dark clouds gathered and howling winds started to beat the windows across the city, residents looked more assured and better prepared. Dubai Metro announced the extension of operating hours ahead of expected weather conditions, extending from 12 am to 5 am (the next day). However, the number of stops for these trains was reduced.

“Heavy thunderstorms are forecast in Dubai on May 2. If you’re traveling to Dubai International Airport, you may experience road delays. We recommend adding extra travel time to reach the airport and using Dubai Metro where possible,” the Emirates airline’s spokesperson was quoted by the local media as saying on Wednesday. The authorities have also been advised not to sail, and avoid valley areas, torrential rains, and low-lying places. They have been asked to exercise caution while driving vehicles and adhere to the instructions of the competent authorities.

“Today we wanted to try something different by trying Rabada in the powerplay. We wanted to use our spinners later on, so took a punt on trying KG within the powerplay. Chahar came back and was the best bowler in the 260 games, and he’s bowling with great confidence. He stepped up when I asked him to bowl against MSD in the 19th over. (On bowling Chahar on the 19th) The pace bowlers were going for a bit in the end, and I wanted to try something different.

“Asked Rilee what he reckoned and took that gamble with spin. In this game where everyone has been going for runs, you need to take such gambles. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. We come against the same opposition so we have one up on them. It is a new game, new conditions but this win will give us a lot of confidence. I think our bowlers were superb, the spinners and Jonny striking them well, even the way we paced that chase, it was brilliant. Need to build on that confidence,” he further added.

Except for users in Europe and Korea, the Memory feature, which was first announced in February, is now accessible to all OpenAI ChatGPT Plus paying users worldwide.

All ChatGPT Plus users can now access OpenAI’s Memory feature, following a restricted deployment in February. OpenAI said that “Memory is now available to all ChatGPT Plus users except those in Europe or Korea” in an update to the “Memory for ChatGPT” blog.
Memory in ChatGPT enables the AI chatbot to either retain or lose important commands and information that the user provides in prompts. According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Plus subscribers will be able to personalize their interactions with the chatbot and do away with the need to repeat information thanks to this functionality.

Why does Tesla value China more than India?

In February, OpenAI said that the user will get full control over what the AI chatbot should remember from their conversation. Additionally, the company said that users will get the ability to delete a specific memory under the new “Manage Memory” section in settings alongside an option to disable the feature completely.

With a wider rollout now, OpenAI has made it easier to access and control memory. In the blog post, the company said that ChatGPT will let the user know when the memory has been updated. The user can then hover over the “Memory updated” message and select the “Manage Memory” option to review and change the saved details.

What is Memory for ChatGPT

While using ChatGPT for conversation or assistance, users can ask the chatbot to remember specific details or provide it with instructions that it needs to follow when performing specific tasks in the future. With the Memory feature enabled, ChatGPT will be able to pick up details itself and improve accordingly over time. For example, if you ask ChatGPT to summarise texts in limited words and provide bullet points at the end, it will provide a summary in the requested format every time you ask it to do so in the future.

It should be noted that memories stored with ChatGPT are not restricted to a single conversation and deleting a chat does not erase the memory. If the user wishes to have a conversation without using memories and does not want to disable the feature or erase memories, it can be done on a temporary chat, which is accessible through a drop-down menu from the top of the screen.

What Was Involved With Elon Musk Trip to China? Tesla Is The Focus on Complete Self-Driving?

by Leave a Comment

Elon Musk Tesla vehicles have met all of China’s privacy and data security regulations. Due to the problem of data collection, the Chinese government and military locations had already banned Tesla automobiles.

Elon Musk was granted permission to introduce Full Self-Driving (FSD) in Beijing following his unexpected visit to China on April 28, following the cancellation of his much-anticipated trip to India due to “very heavy Tesla obligations.”

Musk was supposed to meet with the founders of an Indian space startup as well as Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A $2–3 billion electric vehicle (EV) facility for India was anticipated to be announced by the CEO of Tesla along with some Starlink-related news during his visit.

But Musk promised to introduce the FSD in the largest vehicle market in the world Elon Musk when he met with Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang on Sunday.

Indonesian defense establishment could benefit from India’s experience and successes: Indian envoy.

WHAT WAS DISCUSSED IN CHINA?

The Wall Street Journal reported that Beijing gave preliminary approval to Tesla to launch FSD in China. Tesla’s cars made in China passed key data security and privacy requirements in China. Previously, Tesla vehicles had faced bans from Chinese military installations and government sites over the issue of data collection.

This has given a much-needed boost to Elon Musk Tesla, which is struggling with slow EV demand in the US and FSD-related apprehensions in its home market. Tesla is also grappling with low sales in China where homegrown car manufacturers are providing competition to Musk’s company.

The Chinese state broadcaster also reported that Tesla is likely to continue teaming up with tech company Baidu, which licenses mapping data and its lane-level navigation service for FSD. Tesla has been using Baidu for in-car mapping and navigation since 2020.

Reuters also reported a prominent Chinese automotive association confirmed on Sunday that Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y vehicles were among the models subjected to testing and deemed compliant with China’s data security standards.

On Tesla’s April 23 earnings call, Musk said the EV major aims Elon Musk to release FSD “as a supervised autonomy system in any market that — where we can get regulatory approval for that, which we think includes China.”

Tesla has sold more than 1.7 million cars in China since it entered the market a decade ago and its Shanghai factory is its largest globally.

ROADBLOCKS BETWEEN CHINA AND TESLA

China is Tesla’s second biggest market after the US. Since 2021, Chinese officials have required Tesla to keep all data that its cars collect in China stored in Shanghai. This means Tesla cannot send the data back to the US.

Data security and compliance were the biggest reasons why the US electric car company did not roll out the FSD in China yet despite launching its most advanced autopilot software four years ago.

Also, Chinese new energy car manufacturers such as BYD, Lotus, Nezha, Li Auto, and Nio have already met the country’s stringent data security policy, which posed tough competition to Tesla.

Tesla’s global vehicle deliveries experienced a decline in the first quarter, marking the first decrease in nearly four years.

According to a New York Times report, “Musk’s fortune is tied to Tesla’s Shanghai factory. The Shanghai factory has replaced Tesla’s plant in Fremont, California, as its largest and most productive, accounting for over half of the company’s global deliveries and the bulk of its profits”.

Meanwhile, a Wall Street Journal report said, “Musk’s response to the pressure has been to become a high-profile cheerleader of China’s ruling Communist Party, in sharp contrast to his renegade persona in the US, where he has clashed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mocked President Biden in tweets, once calling him a labor union sock puppet”.

WHAT IS FSD TECHNOLOGY?

FSD is the most autonomous version of Autopilot software and was rolled out in 2020. Its features include self-parking, auto lane changes, and traffic navigation. But Tesla says FSD or Autopilot does not make its vehicles autonomous and they require active driver supervision.

Each Tesla vehicle is equipped with multiple external cameras and vision processing software, which the company uses to deliver Autopilot features – an advanced driver assistance system or ADAS.

Autopilot includes what Tesla calls ‘Traffic-Aware Cruise Control’, which matches the speed of the vehicle to that of the surrounding traffic, and ‘Autosteer’, a function that assists in steering within a marked lane, and uses traffic-aware cruise control. FSD, however, is a further upgrade to Autopilot that was launched in 2020 and aims at a driving experience involving minimal driver intervention.

In 2023, Musk said the price of FSD, then at $15,000, was very low, saying the value of the car would increase dramatically if it became autonomous. Last month, Tesla slashed the price of FSD to $8,000 from $12,000 in the US.

DISADVANTAGES OF FSD

Problems range from jumping red lights, and not recognizing pedestrians to situational problems like identifying a cyclist who briefly disappears behind a parked vehicle. Tesla began beta testing its full self-driving system only in 2020.

Google’s Waymo and Cruise owned by General Motors are among companies that predicted full self-driving cars by 2020, with only limited success: that too limited to ring-fenced, geotagged areas.

Tesla relies primarily on car cameras, while humans make predictions based on road situations, which can present a complex problem for computers, such as when someone at the side of the road steps off the pavement and disappears behind a parked bus for a minute or distinguishing between a red signage on a wall versus an actual stop sign, as mentioned in The Indian Express.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration had said it was opening a new probe of Tesla self-driving systems amid concerns that a move last year to improve driver monitoring and attention was not up to the mark.

Why does Tesla value China more than India?

by Leave a Comment

China is well ahead of India in the production of EVs and batteries, and it is a major growth driver for Tesla, the most valued electric vehicle manufacturer in the world. However, India still has opportunities.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, arrived in Beijing a week after canceling his highly anticipated trip to India, highlighting the significance of China in the global supply chain for the most valuable electric vehicle manufacturer in the world. Musk was there to promote Full Self-Driving (FSD).

This is the reason why China continues to be far more significant to Tesla than India.

Indonesian defense establishment could benefit from India’s experience and successes: Indian envoy.

China’s dominance in battery production

China accounts for over half of the global electric vehicle (EV) sales, largely driven by its near dominance in battery production — a critical element for EV manufacturing. Elon Musk’s recent China visit saw him meet Robin Zeng, the chairman of Chinese battery giant China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Limited (CATL), Reuters reported. CATL accounts for two-thirds of global battery production and is a supplier for Tesla, as well as other major automakers such as Volkswagen AG and Toyota Motor Corp.

Tesla’s biggest plant is in Shanghai

When it comes to EV production, China has left the US and Europe way behind and is now a key engine of growth for Tesla. The EV major opened its biggest manufacturing unit in Shanghai in 2018 after a new Chinese policy allowed foreign carmakers to establish fully-owned subsidiaries in the country. The Shanghai plant alone produces over 1 million units of Tesla’s most successful Model 3 and Model Y cars a year. The gigafactory, the first outside the US, is also crucial for Tesla as it supplies its cars to New Zealand, Australia, and Europe.

India’s EV push is still at a nascent stage

A global shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs presents a massive opportunity for new entrants like India, vying to be a part of the global supply chain. However, India has historically relied on imports of batteries from elsewhere and currently has a fragmented EV supply chain.

According to a Niti Ayog report, the biggest demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) comes from consumer electronics such as laptops, mobile phones, and tablets. The LIB market through EV sales in India was only about 1 GWh (compared to 4.5 GWh for consumer electronics). Taking note of the booming demand for batteries, India is pushing for battery production through the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for advanced chemistry cell (ACC) battery storage. ACC is a crucial component of lithium-ion batteries. Niti Ayog says that India is well-positioned to capture a large share of the growing global market and could represent up to 13% of global battery demand by 2030.

Regulatory flip-flops on India’s EV policy

India’s EV policy was released last month after years of flip-flops. In 2018, the then Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said that there was no need for an electric vehicle policy and that technology should not be trapped by rules and regulations. In 2018-19, the Centre increased customs duty on CKD (completely knocked down) imports of motor vehicles, motor cars, and motorcycles from 10% to 15%, much to the ire of global automakers. Last month when India finally released its EV policy, it eased duty on completely built-up (CBU) cars with a minimum investment limit for manufacturers of Rs 4,150 crore.

But, there is still opportunity for India

Despite China’s dominance over the EV supply chain, its exports are increasingly coming under scrutiny in Europe and the US, presenting an opportunity for India.

The European Commission in October last year launched an anti-subsidy investigation into the imports of battery electric vehicles (BEV) from China. As per the EC, the investigation will first determine whether BEV value chains in China benefit from illegal subsidization and whether this subsidization causes or threatens to cause economic injury to EV manufacturers in the EU. “Based on the investigation’s findings, the Commission will establish whether it is in the EU’s interest to remedy the effects of the unfair trade practices found by imposing anti-subsidy duties on imports of battery electric vehicles from China,” the EC said.
