Tesla is falling far short of its robotaxi targets - and of a competitor

CNN Portugal3 September 2026 at 19:30

Tesla is far short of its established targets for robotaxis and faces difficulties in keeping up with a competitor in the sector. The electric vehicle company has faced significant challenges in developing its autonomous car technology designed to operate as driverless taxis.

The central question raised is that of economic competitiveness. The comparison made in the article questions how one can compete with an Uber driver working under unfavorable economic conditions.

The article states that an Uber driver may be earning less than the minimum wage. This driver must also ensure the purchase and maintenance of their own vehicle, as well as cleaning services and other work-related tasks.

This scenario calls into question the economic viability of Tesla's robotaxi model, considering the cost structure and working conditions existing in the transportation platform sector.

BC evaluates connecting Pix with European payment system

Brazil's Central Bank is in initial negotiations with the European Central Bank to connect Pix to the European instant payment system TIPS. According to an ECB document, the possible connection is in the "pre-investigation" phase, with participation from operational, security, technical, and legal areas, started in June last year and expected to end soon. After this stage, two more phases are planned: exploration and implementation. The BC had previously signaled in the Pix Management Report 2023-2025 that it is evaluating connections with payment systems from other jurisdictions, both through bilateral models and through participation in multilateral hubs such as Nexus.

Justice allows Vasco to sign players and permits negotiations above R$ 5.9 million with future payment

The Rio de Janeiro court authorized Vasco da Gama and its SAF to sign players before the transfer window closes, establishing that new contracts should not increase the club's debt or generate an addition of up to R$ 5.9 million to the liabilities, unless subsequently communicated to the Court. Negotiations above this amount may proceed, provided that the excess payment is projected for the future, such as in the case of loans with purchase obligations. Judge Victor Agustin Jaccoud Diz Torres reinforced that the decision is not intended to interfere with player choices, but rather to avoid short-term financial worsening.
