On the one hand, this is a conservation success story. On the other, however, it amplifies long-standing sociocultural challenges, namely human-wildlife coexistence with farmers.

The Netherlands' RDW, which approved the system in April, confirmed today that it signed off on an update capping the speed margin at 10% and officially renaming "FSD Supervised" to Tesla Assisted Driving.

Native to Florida, the species had reached its northernmost documented occurrence to date.

I'm taking this newsletter over from my colleague Kiley Price, who I admire for her sharp coverage. I'm a Florida native and was a fellow at Inside Climate News this summer, where I covered climate and environmental justice in my home state. That meant following fights over AI data centers, the homes least prepared for the super El Niño and water quality aid. Across all of that reporting, climate . . .
