1.	Tesla expands Robotaxi service to Miami By Grace Kay Source: The Information

Tesla said it rolled out its Robotaxi service in Miami on Friday, according to a post from its social media account on X.

It’s the fifth city the automaker has launched its ride-hailing service as the company continues to expand its self-driving efforts alongside rivals like Waymo and Zoox. Waymo launched its autonomous vehicle service in Miami in April, while Zoox has said it is currently testing in the area.

Tesla’s VP of AI Software Ashok Elluswamy said on X that the company is offering the service in Miami without a safety monitor. Tesla began offering unsupervised rides in Austin earlier this year, though the company initially launched the service in Austin with a safety monitor in the passenger seat of the vehicle in June 2025. Tesla also operates its Robotaxi in Houston and Dallas and has a ride-hailing service in the Bay Area that operates with a driver.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said during the company’s earnings call in April that Tesla plans to launch in a dozen states by the end of the year. Tesla has publicly targeted several cities in Florida, Arizona, and Nevada as the next locations for the Robotaxi expansion.

2.	Alibaba, Bytedance Halt Personalized AI Features as Regulations Tighten By Henry Siu Source: The Information

Alibaba Group and ByteDance will stop offering their chatbot apps’ features that enable users to create their own personalized AI agents, as Beijing prepares to enforce new rules on humanlike AI interactions.

ByteDance’s Doubao, China’s most popular AI app by users, and its rival Qwen from Alibaba, will both take their user-generated AI agent features offline by July 15, when the new government regulations take effect, according to the notifications the two apps sent to users over the weekend. Tencent’s Yuanbao chatbot app already stopped offering a similar feature last month.

Those apps can continue to offer non-personalized AI agent features that perform tasks such as food delivery orders and travel booking.

Chinese regulators in April announced new regulations on AI products that simulate human personality, thinking patterns and communication styles to create emotional interactions. The new regulations exclude other AI products such as customer service bots, workplace assistants and tools for education and research.

3.	Singapore Files New Charges in Nvidia Chip Fraud Case By Henry Siu Source: Bloomberg

Singaporean prosecutors filed new charges against one of the suspects in a case related to smuggling Nvidia chips from the Southeast Asian country to other destinations such as China.

The case began in February 2025 and has since expanded, as prosecutors alleged that the suspects falsely claimed themselves as end-users of Dell and Supermicro servers containing Nvidia chips, while diverting these servers to China.  Four people have been charged in this case, along with four companies.

Wei Zhaolun Alan, the suspect facing new charges including fraud and money laundering, pleaded not guilty in a Singapore court on Monday and has been released on bail, with his lawyer calling the charges “misconceived,” according to Bloomberg.

The Singapore Police Force said in a statement last week it had seized about S$1 million ($775,000) in bank funds under investigation and blocked the transfer or sale of a Singapore property valued at about S$55 million ($42.7 million).

Dell and Supermicro are the largest distributors of Nvidia chips.
