Tesla says it sold a record 1.3 million vehicles last year
Tesla said Monday that sold a record 1.3 million vehicles last year, but the number fell short of CEO Elon Musk’s pledge to grow the company’s sales by 50% nearly every year.
The 2022 figure topped the prior record of 936,000 vehicles delivered in 2021, but it was shy of the 1.4 million needed to reach the company’s 50% growth target. Sales grew 40% year over year, while production climbed 47% to 1.37 million.
The shortfall came despite a major year-end sales push that included rare $7,500 discounts in the U.S. on the Models Y and 3, the company’s top-selling models.
Tesla Inc., which is based in Austin, Texas, also had to deal with rising cases of the novel coronavirus in China, which cut into production at its Shanghai factory.

With the extra U.S. push, Tesla delivered more than 405,000 vehicles worldwide in the fourth quarter. But that missed Wall Street projections. Analysts polled by data provider FactSet expected 427,000 deliveries from October through December and 1.33 million for the full year.
“Thank you to all of our customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and supporters who helped us achieve a great 2022 in light of significant COVID and supply chain related challenges throughout the year,” the electric vehicle and solar panel company said Monday.
Tesla didn’t roll out any new models last year, and it’s facing increasing competition from legacy automakers and startups such as Lucid and Rivian, which are continually introducing new electric vehicles.
But Musk has promised to start producing the long-awaited Cybertruck electric pickup this year. The company also has started delivering its electric semis.
The discounts, offered during the last two weeks of the year, raised questions about whether demand was softening for Tesla products as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to combat inflation.

That, coupled with Musk’s behavior after his $44 billion purchase of Twitter, helped to push Tesla shares down more than 65% last year, bumping Musk out of the top spot for the world’s wealthiest person, according to Forbes.
The company’s stock decline for the year, its worst ever, was more than triple the drop in the S&P 500, which was down 19.4%.
Musk wrote on Twitter Dec. 30 that the company’s long-term fundamentals are strong, but “short-term market madness” is unpredictable.
Some investors are worried that Twitter has distracted Musk from the car company. Musk said last month that he plans to remain as Twitter’s CEO until he can find someone willing to replace him in the job.

Top 10 Most Exciting Innovations of 2022 in Technology
Every year, tech specialists, engineers and scientists continuously delve into breaking new barriers in innovation and technology. It’s like unsatiated need of humen to surmise the ultimate answer to life and everything. And unlike Doughlas Adam’s conclusion of 42, the grand scheme of understanding the unknown continues. Let's take a look at the 10 most popular technological innovations of 2022.
10 Biggest Innovations of 2022 in Technology
The list doesn’t limit itself to any specific stream or industry. Rather we look at innovations that brought a collective impact on humankind and made a long stride in shaping the future.
The James Webb Space Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope has been a revolutionary invention in the field of astronomy and space exploration. The telescope formally replaced the Hubble telescope, which has been mankind’s primary eye into distant galaxies.
The JWST has a sensor three times larger than the departing Hubble telescope. With a two-decade development and 9.7 billion dollars of investment, we are now seeing the star systems and galaxies as far as 13 billion light-years away in stellar resolution. From Alpha Centauri to the Pillar of Creation, JWST is indeed mankind’s next big leap after Armstrong’s famous footstep on the lunar surface.

Parallel Reality by Delta
Parallel Reality by Delta aims to bring a personalized experience to every public interaction. Consider going to an airport and squinting at the large panel trying to figure out your flight details. What if we told you that now the large panel will use the entire panel to display your flight information as soon as you scan your ticket? Sounds like a dream, right? Especially with thousands of others wanting the same?
Parallel reality uses a specialized augmented reality that can revert light in 18,000 different directions. Meaning at least 18,000 people can access the panel at the same time and get customized outputs based on their needs. This truly is the future of public tech interaction.
Color Changing Cars
Another fun innovation of 2022 has to be the BMW IX Flow. The car is still in its development phase, but BMW has recently shown off its patented technology of a car that can change colors based on your preference.
The inner ambient lighting has been the main innovation focus for all these years. For the exterior, the shade that you get would typically be the final choice. But with this revolutionary new technology, you can take your car exterior from pitch black to snow white. There really is no limit to the possibilities.

BMW has come up with a hybrid e-ink technology that can mimic colors. This has been done without compromising the outer rigidity of the car shell.
The Luxury Electric Car
Tesla is the pioneer of the electric car revolution that started several decades ago. Back in the day, electric cars weren’t practical even let alone be a comfortable daily driver. With the innovation and logistical support of Tesla, electric cars aren’t just a daily driver anymore, and it has seen some of the highest adoption rates in recent years.
But there is no limit to innovation. Lucid, a company based in the USA, has decided to take things even further. Enter Lucid Air EV, the world’s first proper luxury Sedan powered by a completely electric powertrain. Besides the luxury aspect, the car has a better range, better-charging speed, and better performance compared to a standard Tesla Model S. The reality of an electric future isn’t really a dream anymore.

Combatting Deepfakes
The term deepfake has become ever-popular thanks to the revolutionary stride in AI in recent years. Deepfakes or modified visual content are now truer than ever and that poses benefits as well as risks. While it's great for AR and VR, it is also paving the way for personal harassment and insurance fraud.
Truepic Lens aims to combat the growing nuisance created by deepfake by analyzing the content. The company calls it “glass to glass” analysis, where they check that the lens glass captures are accurate to the ones you are seeing in your display. They use different AI, layering, and metadata analyses to conclude whether any digital media has been manipulated using deepfake or not.
Robots are More Life-like than Ever
The concept of robots has long evolved from mechanical to actual functional units and more recently, to a humanoid concept. The idea is to replicate robots as close to humans as possible.
The scientists at Engineered Arts have created Ameca, a fusion of AI and human-like motion. The humanoid AI platform Ameca has been created to replicate humans as naturally and fluidly as possible. The robot can express emotions, and facial responses and even move around in the most realistic way to date.

Diverting an Asteroid
Do you remember that Bruce Willis film called Armageddon? The plot revolves around a team of astronauts who successfully diverts an asteroid to save humanity. Over two decades on from the fictional world of the movies, NASA has been successful in diverting the course of Dimorphos asteroid with their DART mission.
And you guessed it, NASA force crashed a 1,100-pound spacecraft into the surface of Dimorphos to effectively alter its course. This gave NASA important data to analyze diversions should there be an asteroid crisis in the future.
DALL E 2: The Revolutionary Text to Imaging AI
With the hot debate of whether AI art is art or not aside, there has been a considerable stride in using AI to morph images. While previously it required a subject or a reference for the work, the revolutionary breakthrough by Open AI has paved the way for text to the imaging process.
It essentially means that you can feed a prompt to the AI, and based on your details, DALL E 2 will come up with a photorealistic result. The results are almost eerily accurate to what you might be visualizing in your head, and Open AI thinks this could be a breakthrough point in how we interact with AI or use AI per se.

Chat GPT
If DALL E 2 fascinated you, wait till you hear what else Open AI has developed in 2022. One of their latest beta creations is the Chat GPT. This is essentially like your personalized AI assistant. It can answer any query you throw at it. It can plan a schedule, a marketing timeline, write professional emails, and whatnot. It can even write poems. Sounds unreal? Well, here is the result when I asked Chat GPT to write me a poem on a gloomy day. Have a look.
It's crazy and borderline spooky how good, and accurate Chat GPT gets things done, all the while being in beta testing mode. If the event was a giant leap towards advancement, then AI assistants will certainly give it a full shape.
3D Printed Coral Reefs
We saved the best for the last. With almost 25% of all the aquatic life finding their habitat in coral reefs, they must be preserved. But with global warming and rising sea levels, the growth of new coral reefs is being hindered.
The Scientist at Technion Institute of Technology has come up with a solution to 3D print coral reefs using terracotta clay. The modular structure would be made to replicate the natural habitat of the localized aquatic life. The scientists associated with the project hope that this will help to create a more robust aquatic ecosystem and potentially restore endangered species.

'Will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job': Musk
Elon Musk said Tuesday that he plans on remaining as Twitter’s CEO until he can find someone willing to replace him in the job.
Musk’s announcement came after millions of Twitter users asked him to step down in an unscientific poll the billionaire himself created and promised to abide by.
“I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job!” Musk tweeted. “After that, I will just run the software & servers teams.”
Read: Over half of 17.5mn Twitter users who voted say Musk should step down as CEO
Since taking over San Francisco-based Twitter in late October, Musk’s run as CEO has been marked by quickly issued rules and policies that have often been withdrawn or changed soon after being made public.
He has also alienated some investors in his electric vehicle company Tesla who are concerned that Twitter is taking too much of his attention.
Some of Musk’s actions have unnerved Twitter advertisers and turned off users. They include laying off half of Twitter’s workforce, letting go contract content moderators and disbanding a council of trust and safety advisors that the company formed in 2016 to address hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm and other problems on the platform.
Read: Musk's Twitter disbands its Trust and Safety advisory group
Musk, who also helms the SpaceX rocket company, has previously acknowledged how difficult it will be to find someone to take over as Twitter CEO.
Bantering with Twitter followers last Sunday, he said that the person replacing him “must like pain a lot” to run a company that he said has been “in the fast lane to bankruptcy.”
“No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor,” Musk tweeted.
As things stand, Musk would still retain overwhelming influence over platform as its owner. He fired the company’s board of directors soon after taking control.

Over half of 17.5mn Twitter users who voted say Musk should step down as CEO
More than half of 17.5 million users who responded to a Twitter poll created by billionaire Elon Musk over whether he should step down as head of the company had voted yes by the time the poll closed Monday.
There was no immediate announcement from Twitter, or Musk, about whether that would happen, though Musk said that he would abide by the results. Musk attended the World Cup final on Sunday and may be midflight on his way back to the U.S. early Monday.
Musk has taken a number of unscientific polls on substantial issues facing the social media platform, including whether to reinstate journalists that he had suspended from Twitter, which was broadly criticized in and out of media circles.
Musk has clashed with some users on multiple fronts and on Sunday, he asked Twitter users to decide if he should remain in charge of the social media platform after acknowledging he made a mistake in launching new speech restrictions that banned mentions of rival social media websites on Twitter.
The results of the unscientific online survey, which lasted 12 hours, showed that 57.5% of those who voted wanted him to leave, while the remaining 42.5% wanted him to say.
The latest poll followed yet another significant policy change since Musk acquired Twitter in October. Twitter had announced that users will no longer be able to link to Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon and other platforms the company described as “prohibited.”
That decision generated immediate blowback, including criticism from past defenders of Twitter's new owner, that Musk promised not to make any more major policy changes without an online survey of users.
The action to block competitors was Musk's latest attempt to crack down on certain speech after he shut down a Twitter account last week that was tracking the flights of his private jet.
The banned platforms included mainstream websites such as Facebook and Instagram, and upstart rivals Mastodon, Tribel, Nostr, Post and former President Donald Trump's Truth Social. Twitter gave no explanation for why the blacklist included those seven websites but not others such as Parler, TikTok or LinkedIn.
A test case was the prominent venture capitalist Paul Graham, who in the past has praised Musk but on Sunday told his 1.5 million Twitter followers that this was the “last straw” and to find him on Mastodon. His Twitter account was promptly suspended, and soon after restored as Musk promised to reverse the policy implemented just hours earlier.
Policy decisions by Musk have divided users. He has advocated for free speech, but has suspended journalists and shut down a longstanding account that tracked the whereabouts of his jet, calling it a security risk.
But he has changed policies, and then changed them again, created a sense of confusion on the platform about what is allowed, and what is not.
Musk permanently banned the @ElonJet account on Wednesday, then changed Twitter's rules to prohibit the sharing of another person’s current location without their consent. He then took aim at journalists who were writing about the jet-tracking account, which can still be found on other social media sites, alleging that they were broadcasting “basically assassination coordinates.”
He used that to justify Twitter's moves last week to suspend the accounts of numerous journalists who cover the social media platform and Musk, among them reporters working for The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, Voice of America and other publications. Many of those accounts were restored following an online poll by Musk.
Then, over the weekend, The Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz became the latest journalist to be temporarily banned. She said she was suspended after posting a message on Twitter tagging Musk and requesting an interview.
Sally Buzbee, The Washington Post's executive editor, called it an “arbitrary suspension of another Post journalist” that further undermined Musk’s promise to run Twitter as a platform dedicated to free speech.
“Again, the suspension occurred with no warning, process or explanation — this time as our reporter merely sought comment from Musk for a story,” Buzbee said. By midday Sunday, Lorenz's account was restored, as was the tweet she thought had triggered her suspension.
Musk was questioned in court on Nov. 16 about how he splits his time among Tesla and his other companies, including SpaceX and Twitter. Musk had to testify in Delaware’s Court of Chancery over a shareholder’s challenge to Musk’s potentially $55 billion compensation plan as CEO of the electric car company.
Musk said he never intended to be CEO of Tesla, and that he didn’t want to be chief executive of any other companies either, preferring to see himself as an engineer instead. Musk also said he expected an organizational restructuring of Twitter to be completed in the next week or so. It’s been more than a month since he said that.
In public banter with Twitter followers Sunday, Musk expressed pessimism about the prospects for a new CEO, saying that person “must like pain a lot” to run a company that “has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy.”
“No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor,” Musk tweeted.

Apple Car: The Leaks and Rumors
Apple's foray into autos has generated a great deal of speculation. Apple started working on an electric car project in 2014. However, the rumors have intensified during the last six months. Expanding to automobiles is an enormous step, especially if it intends to compete with Tesla. While it may take more time for Apple's automobile project to become a reality, leaks and rumors have already begun to circulate. Here are what people are anticipating about the Apple car.
Latest Rumors and Leaks about Apple Car
Automobile AI
Apple has not verified any rumors about the Apple automobile. However, Apple CEO Tim Cook did discuss the project in 2017. Cook's statements reveal that Apple is creating an artificial intelligence (AI) system for automobiles, eventually leading to a fully autonomous vehicle. Apple has not stated much beyond this, but Cook's comments show that Apple is working on an automobile AI system.
LiDAR
Another Bloomberg article claims that Apple is seeking a provider of next-generation LiDAR for its automobile project. LiDAR is a sophisticated sensor technology that is already used in a number of iPhone devices manufactured by Apple. This technology, when used in automobiles, is said to enable the computer to "see" its surroundings and help in the self-driving aspect.

Electric Vehicle
According to Reuters, Apple is not just developing an electric vehicle, but also a battery that may significantly enhance a vehicle's range. This battery will also cut the price of EV batteries dramatically.
According to sources familiar with the project, Apple intends to employ a "monocle" design. This increases the size of the battery's cells and removes the pouches and modules that carry battery components, allowing for the inclusion of more active material.
Advanced lighting
Apple's smart lighting patent (via 9to5 Mac) might be the answer to a widespread issue. You have spilled something on the floor of your automobile, but the interior light is inadequate. Apple's intelligent lighting would employ a combination of sensors and cameras to illuminate certain portions of the car's interior to help in your search.
As with all patents, take this one with a grain of salt, but it seems to be a wise decision. The intelligent lights also have a function that softly awakens you as your autonomous vehicle approaches its destination. The only period when it is permissible to sleep while driving.

Automated window tinting
In a manner reminiscent of a science-fiction film, another Apple patent reveals the company may be considering automated window tinting.
The patent describes a glass technology that allows users to modify the color of their windows by altering the glass's transparency. The automated aspect of the function would also enable the windows to self-tint in reaction to weather conditions outside.
Adjustable bumpers
A patent application from 2016 hinted that Apple was considering retractable bumpers. The patent describes the bumpers as including an expandable, pressurized inflated section. This is intended to deliver a gentle first impression.
It is unknown why Apple was investigating this technology, although it may have something to do with offering a sleeker design or making parking in small spots simpler.

Apple Car Manufacturer
When it comes to the actual construction of its car, it seems that Apple is seeking possible collaboration partners.
Hyundai accidentally let the cat out of the bag earlier this year when it revealed that it was "in conversation" with Apple about its next car. However, after the dissemination of this information, the business has said that neither Hyundai nor its subsidiary Kia would be continuing work on the creation of Apple's automobile.
Speculations that Apple's automobile would make use of Hyundai's technology, such as the company's E-GMP platform, might be put to rest as a result of this development.
It is believed that Apple is still holding conversations with a number of additional automobile retailers. The most recent source says that LG and Magna's e-Powertrain might be close to signing a deal with Apple to manage the first manufacturing of Apple's automobile. GM, Magna, and Groupe PSA have all been rumored to be potential partners.
According to recent sources, Apple plans to maintain its partnership with TSMC, the company that presently supplies the A-series semiconductors used in Apple's iPhones, in order to develop the technology that will be used within the vehicle. It is thought that TSMC will provide chips for Apple's automobile, and these chips are anticipated to fulfill the specifications for Level 4 or Level 5 processors.

Apple Car Team
Over the course of the development of the Apple Car, Apple has not only seen a number of team members exit but also engaged a number of industry experts to head up the project.
As of the month of August 2018, the project is being led by Doug Field, who was once an engineer at Tesla.
Ulrich Kranz, an executive who most recently worked for BMW and the business Canoo, which develops autonomous vehicles, was recently recruited by the corporation. It is yet uncertain what function Kranz will have in the development of Apple's automobile.
Other notable recruits include Manfred Harrer, a chassis engineer from Volkswagen; former Tesla executives Steve MacManus, Michael Schwekutsch, and Stuart Bowers; and Andrew Kim, a designer who formerly worked for both Tesla and Microsoft HoloLens.

Probable Release Date of Apple Car
The launch of Apple's automobile has been delayed many times, and new rumors suggest that it is still several years away from being available for purchase.
According to Reuters, the Apple Car may be available to consumers as early as 2024. Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known Apple analyst, believes that people won't see the automobile until somewhere between 2025 and 2027.
Even if Apple speeds up the creation of its car this year, it will still need some time before it can be manufactured and put through its paces in testing. That indicates that people have years ahead of them filled with leaks and rumors.
Conclusion
Once started as a unique operating systems-based computer manufacturer, Apple has ventured into and presented a new era of technological devices and gadgets. The leaks and rumors of Apple Car which are already in the wind have triggered people’s interest. However, time will day how many of these leaks come true. Apple fans are still dubious and waiting for the tech giant to release its most anticipated Car.
