Tesla's Cybercab Is Here

Movie studios are where Hollywood spins fantastical worlds out of fancy camera angles and special effects. So where better to show off the Tesla Cybercab, a two-door self-driving taxi that CEO Elon Musk says will be in production in just three years—but that’s still fascinatingly short on firm detail?

Almost an hour after Tesla’s previously announced start time, Musk was escorted by a man dressed as an astronaut to the butterfly doors of the silver prototype. He took a quick, seemingly driverless jaunt through the dark, ghostly streets of the Warner Bros. Studios in Southern California before emerging from the car to take the stage.

Below are some of our top picks for the best movies (original and otherwise) streaming on Hulu right now.

Amazon’s Rufus AI Shopping Assistant Now Lets Some Shoppers Check Price History

Amazon Prime Day has become a destination for shoppers looking to score great deals. The price drops can be substantial—sometimes upwards of 40 percent off an item—but without knowing a product’s price history, it’s impossible to know whether a deal is really a deal. Consumers have long used third-party price trackers to fill in this gap, but now Amazon says it will allow some users to access this information through a quick chat with its AI shopping bot, Rufus.

The World's First Commercial Space Station Looks Like a Luxury Hotel Inside

Aluminum for spacecraft interiors is passé; what space-farers apparently want is wood. That’s the bet from Vast, the makers of Haven-1, the world’s first commercial space station set to be placed in low-Earth orbit by the SpaceX Falcon rocket next year. First paying customers will be getting on board in 2026, and judging by the final designs just released of the station’s cozy interior, they’ll feel right at home.

Helping to add softness to an interior previously more focused on function than style, Vast has used fine-grained maple wood—a contemporary favorite of home interior designers, chosen for its ability to add warmth and elegance to any space, and now space space.

Psychedelic Mushrooms Are Getting Much, Much Stronger

Earlier this year, Julian Mattucci, also known as “God Emperor Myco,” was creating new generations of spores from some Psilocybe subtropicalis mushrooms that he had procured online from a popular supplier. He claims to have not been “working them for potency” but rather to arrive at a cleaner, more robust genetic structure to fix issues caused by sustained inbreeding—common in a field that has long been run by amateurs. Interbreed too much, and mushrooms can lack general health, produce lesser yields, and sometimes be lower strength.

The American Who Waged a Tech War on China

Jake Sullivan was standing in the middle of his office, which occupies an airy, sunlit corner of the West Wing, looking like he didn’t quite know what to do with his hands. He was taking me on a perfunctory three-minute tour of the space, even though the office tour is, perhaps, the most tired trope of the magazine profile—and, I’d been warned, Sullivan is not a fan of magazine profiles. At least, not the ones that are about him.
