The driver of a Mustang Mach-E who crashed into a stationary car in Texas in February was using Ford’s hands-free driver assistance system, BlueCruise, according to data obtained by the National Transportation Safety Board.
It’s the first known fatality resulting from a crash involving the use of BlueCruise, which Ford first announced in 2021.
The NTSB’s announcement that BlueCruise was active during the Texas crash comes just one day after the safety board announced it’s probing a second fatal crash near Philadelphia where Ford’s driver assistance system may have been active.
The NTSB released on Thursday what’s known as a preliminary report, and is still investigating the crash.
NHTSA is also probing the Texas crash, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Now, new data indicates that TikTok’s growth has started to slow, begging the question if the app’s move into e-commerce via TikTok Shop is to blame.
According to new data from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, while TikTok’s growth remains positive, that growth is decelerating.
The change comes on the heels of TikTok’s launch of TikTok Shop in the U.S.
While TikTok users are adapting to their favorite social network turning into an online mall, TikTok’s Shop Seller app, which powers its e-commerce initiative, has grown.
However, users aren’t yet so upset with TikTok Shop as to abandon the app for Instagram Reels.
The total number of monthly active crypto developers fell 25% year-over-year in 2023, but those who have been in the space long-term showed more resilience than before, according to a new developer report by Electric Capital.
Developers with more than two years of experience in crypto are at an all-time high after reaching 51% annualized growth over the past five years, according to the report.
And developers who have been in crypto for at least one year grew 15% year-over-year and comprise 63% of all monthly active developers.
When you see devs stick around decorrelated from prices, there’s something fundamentally here that keeps them in the space.”The number of developers working in crypto has matched what Shen has experienced since entering the space in 2018.
“Newcomers are very correlated with prices,” Shen said.
Some of the most important channels for news traffic — Google Search, social platforms like Facebook — changed how they focus on and surface news links, and that’s had an overall hit on traffic and ad sales.
And consumer tastes have changed, too, and it appears that the app is also struggling to attract and retain users.
Given the decline in downloads, Apptopia said a figure of 10 million active users today would now be “a stretch.”Another firm, Sensor Tower, added more insight, noting that SmartNews had, on average, roughly 1.7 million worldwide daily active users between Q1 2023 and Q3 2023.
Sensor Tower’s estimates indicate the SmartNews app has roughly 5 million worldwide monthly active users from Q1–Q3 2023, down an average of 30% year-over-year, per quarter, it said.
Sensor Tower also suggested that lapsed product iterations and feature launches likely contributed to falling consumer interest and interaction with the SmartNews app.
