Luxury carmaker Mercedez-Benz India is sending the <keyword id="1795505" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="electronic-control-module" source="Orion">Electronic Control Module</keyword> (ECM) of the car in which former Tata Sons chairman <keyword id="6356895" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="cyrus-mistry" source="Orion">Cyrus Mistry</keyword> was killed in a road accident recently, to <keyword id="87" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="germany" source="Orion">Germany</keyword> for analysis, a senior official said on Wednesday. The company's report is expected in the next few days and will help shed light on issues like mechanical faults and driver error, the official told PTI on condition of anonymity. "There is a chance that we may get the report as early as Friday," the official said. Asked about reports that the car was speeding at 130-140 kmph, the official said only the ECM analysis will be able to shed light on the exact speed of the car when it crashed into a divider on the Surya river bridge in Palghar district, around 100 km from Mumbai, on Sunday. Most high-end cars have the Electronic Control Module which can later help identify technical issues like brake failure or low brake fluid. An engine control unit, also called the engine control module, is an electronic control unit that controls a series of actuators on an internal combustion engine to ensure optimal engine performance. It does this by reading values from a multitude of sensors within the engine bay, interpreting the data using multidimensional performance maps. Police have also written to the <keyword id="174817" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Central-Road-Research-Institute" source="Orion">Central Road Research Institute</keyword> for road safety audit, the official said. <keyword id="184004" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mercedes-Benz-India" source="Orion">Mercedes-Benz India</keyword> on Tuesday said it is cooperating with the authorities investigating the car crash. While Mistry (54) and his friend Jehangir Pandole were killed, two other occupants of the Mercedes GLC 220d 4MATIC car survived. Gynaecologist Anahita Pandole (55), who was at the wheel, and her husband Darius Pandole (60) -- suffered injuries and are being treated at a private hospital in Mumbai. The deceased were not wearing seat belts as per a preliminary probe, the official said.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched his <keyword id="6354869" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="make-in-India">Make in India</keyword> campaign in September 2014, pledging to lower barriers for doing business and open ways for foreign investment. He is hoping to change Asia's third-biggest economy into a manufacturing powerhouse like China. 
 
With the assistance of Make in India drive, India is on the path of becoming the hub for hi-tech manufacturing, for instance, GE, Siemens, HTC, Toshiba, and Boeing have either set up or are in procedure of setting up manufacturing plants in India, pulled in by India's market of more than a billion consumers and increasing purchasing power.

Here are the 10 major

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Mercedes-Benz announced it will introduce its Level 3 autonomous driving system in Nevada.</li><li>Level 3 requires less driver input, allowing a user to, for example, play videogames while driving.</li></ul>Mercedes-Benz plans to introduce a higher level of autonomous driving for its US customers by the second half of 2023, <a href="https://media.mbusa.com/releases/mercedes-benz-worlds-first-automotive-company-to-certify-sae-level-3-system-for-us-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to an announcement made Thursday</a>.The German automotive company's "Drive Pilot" system is equipped with Level 3 autonomous driving features based on the standards set by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).The feature will be available as an option for the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class and EQs Sedan models, the company said. A US price point was not disclosed. In Germany, the system costs $5,300 on the S-Class and about $8,000 on the EQS model, <a href="https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/mercedes-opens-sales-level-3-self-driving-system-s-class-eqs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Auto News Europe</a>.Unlike a Level 2 system, which requires constant supervision from the driver as the vehicle steers and accelerates, Level 3 automation gives drivers more leeway. The <a href="https://www.sae.org/blog/sae-j3016-update" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SAE defines Level 3</a> as a system where the user is not driving when "automated driving features are engaged — even if you are seated in 'the driver's seat.'"A driver, for example, can move their head and eyes away from the road to talk with a passenger or watch a movie, <a href="https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/mercedes-level-3-autonomous-l3-adas-drive-pilot-review-driving-autopilot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to The Drive, an automotive news outlet that tested the Drive Pilot system</a>.During the demo, the test driver played Tetris and browsed the internet as the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-owner-traded-model-s-mercedes-eqs-elon-musk-twitter-450-2023-1">Mercedes EQS</a> handled all aspects of driving. However, a Level 3 system still requires a driver to be able to regain control of the vehicle at a moment's notice. This means that a driver cannot fall asleep or obstruct their face while the vehicle is moving. When The Drive's test pilot put a camera in front of his face, Mercedes's autonomous driving system disengaged.The system is also restricted to certain road conditions, and Mercedes-Benz said that its Drive Pilot feature will only allow the vehicle to go up to 40 mph.Still, by setting a 2023 date to bring a Level 3 autonomous system to Nevada customers, Mercedes-Benz appears to be on track to surpass some of its major electric vehicle competitors in the US, including Tesla, Ford, and GM.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-history-of-full-self-driving-promise-2022-1">Since as far back as 2015</a>, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has promised to deliver what Tesla calls "Full Self-Driving" features to its vehicles. But its rollout has either been delayed or faced criticism from <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-fsd-beta-full-self-driving-autopilot-software-controversy-2021-11">lawmakers, safety experts, and customers</a>.Some critics have also accused the company of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-full-self-driving-beta-videos-show-flaws-wide-release-2021-3">misleading its customers</a> by calling the company's semi-autonomous driving system "Full Self-Driving."In November, Musk expanded the "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-full-self-driving-fsd-beta-test-drive-video-stressful-2022-12">Full Self-Driving Beta</a>" to all North American customers, however, the system is still rated at Level 2, which means the vehicle requires full driver attention.The feature almost immediately attracted negative media scrutiny with reports of a Tesla Model S in "Full Self-Driving" mode causing an <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/teslas-fsd-car-crash-california-phantom-braking-2022-12">eight-car pileup</a> in the San Francisco Bay Area in November.<a href="https://theintercept.com/2023/01/10/tesla-crash-footage-autopilot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to The Intercept</a>, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has investigated 35 crashes since 2016, in which Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" or "Autopilot" system was in use. The accidents have killed 19 people, the outlet reported.Mercedez-Benz said in its announcement that its technology complies with Nevada state regulations, suggesting that the autonomous system will only be available for customers based in Nevada. Mercedes-Benz added that it has also filed certification documents in California. Spokespersons for Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, and SAE did not respond to a request for comment.

Mercedes-Benz says it has achieved Level 3 automation, which requires less driver input, surpassing the self-driving capabilities of Tesla and other major US automakers

"I had a goat and a chain leash with a bow tie."@Steezyjayhh joked in a TikTok video with 341,000 views that he was <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@steezyjayhh/video/7217464159376608555" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bringing a goat as his prom date</a>. "Who do you even contact to get a goat?" one commenter queried. Enter Amanda Hudgins, the owner of <a href="https://getyourgoatrentals.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get Your Goat Rentals</a>, an Atlanta-based grazing company whose core business involves renting goat herds to chew through overgrown vegetation as an eco-friendly alternative to chemical sprays. In February, given the ubiquity of the <a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Goat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"goat"</a> acronym, the company sensed a business opportunity during the slower winter months. Hudgins told Insider that the company began offering "Goat Grams" for Valentine's Day, or a 30-minute visit priced at $75 to take pictures and cuddle with the animals. It turned out to be a stealthy success. And in March, the company was hired for its first prom photoshoot, trekking to downtown Atlanta with a goat named Paddy for a high school senior named Trevian White."Now we're getting calls from all over the south," Hudgins said. "It's just really gone crazy." To date, Get Your Goat has done 20 prom photoshoots with goats, Hudgins said, and she expects to have conducted 100 by the end of the school year. The company currently owns a herd of over 100 goats, and customers can have their pick based on size and coloring. Prom photoshoots involving goats on TikTok appear to <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@zarelleee/video/7105195076413902123?q=prom%20goat&amp;t=1681935155087" target="_blank" rel="noopener">date back to 2022</a>, but White's mother, Nadiya Acree, told Insider she was unaware of the trend previously. When she spotted the trend recently, she knew it was the perfect addition to complement her son's personality."I always call [Trevian] the goat because he's always great at everything that he does," she said. "Even if he procrastinates at it, once he does it, he's just great." In addition to Paddy, White's photoshoot comprised a rented Lamborghini and red carpet. It took place at the Mercedez-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta, on the rooftop of an adjacent building to where White's prom was being held. Acree declined to disclose the cost of the endeavor. White said that while he knew about the shoot, the goat was a thrilling, last-minute surprise. "My mom has always been a single parent my whole life. I watched her grind so hard to make something out of nothing," he told Insider, adding he shares her predilection for thinking outside of the box."I told my mom I'm trying to go to graduation in a helicopter," he joked.

Originally reported by the tech site <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/source-code-from-dozens-of-companies-leaked-online/">Bleeping Computer</a>, a Swiss developer named Tillie Kottmann was able to pull source code from the likes of Microsoft, Nintendo, <keyword id="46161" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Disney">Disney</keyword>, Motorola, and others because of insecure DevOps applications that leave proprietary company information exposed. Kottmann posted the code on the online repository manager GitLab, which anyone can access, tagged under "exconfidential" and "Confidential &amp; Proprietary." The developer posted a link to the online repository on their <a href="https://twitter.com/deletescape?lang=en">Twitter account.</a>The leaked Nintendo code especially gained attention from the gaming world — it gives an inside look at the source code behind some of the company's most classic games, as <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2020/7/26/21339018/nintendo-gigaleak-super-mario-64-zelda-pokemon-what-is-it-snes">Polygon</a> reports.

But some firms, according to the report, may not even notice that their source code has been published online.

They're skeptical that this much-hyped technology has any looming effect."I think we're actually still a pretty long way from that technology being fully baked," <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-lynch-2a67817">Andrew Lynch</a>, the cofounder and president of Columbus-based supply-chain company <a href="http://www.ziplinelogistics.com/">Zipline Logistics</a>, told Business Insider. "We're not even close to prepared," Lynch said, for those trucks to function on the highway - a pre-existing system that's clogged with human drivers.Donald Broughton, the managing partner of <keyword id="34991" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="transportation">transportation</keyword> analysis firm Broughton Capital, said it's true that self-driving trucks won't be barreling down the highway in the next five years. But it's not just because of kinks in the technology - it's also because of legal complications. <h2>'We have to change the liability law'</h2>There's no clear path to suing a self-driving truck who hits and kills those outside of the truck. In 2016, 3,326 passenger vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians <a href="http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/t/large-trucks/fatalityfacts/large-trucks">died in large truck crashes</a>. (<a href="https://www.ccjdigital.com/80-percent-of-car-truck-crashes-caused-by-car-drivers-ata-report-says/">Around 80%</a> of car-truck crashes were caused by the passenger vehicles, not the truck.)In cases where the trucker was at fault, the plaintiff bar might sue the truck driver, the trucking company who hired the driver, and potentially the company who hired the trucking company, Broughton said.Following current liability laws, the bar cannot sue the freight company who made the equipment. "If the self-driving truck runs into somebody, there's no truck driver to sue," Broughton told Business Insider. "We have to change the liability law to include and indemnify the maker of the truck."And lawmakers haven't tried made make the law of inclusive of autonomous technology companies. A bill currently pending in Congress, called the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1885">AV Start Act</a>, would not allow people who are badly injured while riding a self-driving car to sue the maker of the technology or take part in a class action lawsuit.Disputes would have to be settled in private arbitration instead, which CNN reported <a href="https://money.cnn.com/2018/03/14/technology/self-driving-car-senate-loophole/index.html">in March</a> tends to favor the company over consumers."The nightmare scenario is that someone is hurt because of a defect and it's dealt with through a confidential arbitration proceeding that nobody knows about, and then more people are hurt because no one found out about it," Ed Walters, who teaches robotics law at Georgetown Law and Cornell Tech, <a href="https://money.cnn.com/2018/03/14/technology/self-driving-car-senate-loophole/index.html">told CNN</a>. "Congress could stick up for the right to sue by prohibiting these kind of clauses, but so far they haven't."As for the trucking industry, there's no law at all that allows for manufacturers to be held responsible for failures in self-driving technology. That could put everyone who drives along big trucks in danger, should self-driving freight become the norm."Everybody is talking about, 'Ooh, it's cool technology,' without considering the legal component," Broughton told Business Insider. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/one-of-your-most-important-career-decisions-is-who-you-have-kids-with-2018-6">One of your most important career decisions is who you have kids with</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

Multinational corporations with Chinese outposts have become increasingly aware that the Chinese government will investigate them for corruption - sometimes during <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/10/us-china-antitrust-raids-idUSKBN0GA0UX20140810">unnanounced early-morning raids</a>.

The theory goes that China can increase the odds that its own businesses will succeed in the global market if it can centralize political and economic power and make it more difficult for foreign businessmen to compete. 
"The [Chinese] economy is moving away from an export model to domestic consumption and foreign companies don't have the same role they used to have," Jeremy Gordon, a consultant, <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/freddiedawson/2014/07/31/what-china-security-zsar-anti-corruption-investigation-means-for-international-business/">told Forbes</a> last year. 
Dawn raids of foreign firms' offices are common during corruption investigations, corporate attorney <a href="%20Nathaniel%20Edmonds,%20former%20Assistant%20Chief%20of%20the%20Foreign%20Corrupt%20Practices%20Act%20Unit%20of%20the%20Fraud%20Section%20in%20the%20Department%20of%20Justice,">Nathaniel Edmonds</a> told Business Insider. Officials from China's Administration of Industry and Commerce (AIC) show up <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/10/us-china-antitrust-raids-idUSKBN0GA0UX20140810">unannounced</a> and search desk drawers, computers, files, lockers, safes, and even vehicles for documentation that could support a corruption investigation - and incriminate the firm, as Reuters has written.
"Companies need to be prepared with relevant dawn raid procedures to ensure that local Chinese offices are not unnecessarily turning over sensitive materials that could put the entire company at risk," says Edmonds, former Assistant Chief of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Unit of the Fraud Section in the Department of Justice.
Multinationals have hired lawyers to provide them with "dawn raid training" - seminars, courses, and coaching designed to prepare employees for intense questioning. Employees are also trained in Chinese cultural niceties, such as offering investigators tea or food to demonstrate cooperation, <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/10/us-china-antitrust-raids-idUSKBN0GA0UX20140810">Reuters</a> reported. 
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>In the last few months of 2014 alone, China's government reportedly <a href="http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1561233/microsoft-china-placed-under-probe?page=all">investigated Microsoft</a>, <a href="http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/China-Wrapping-Up-Qualcomm-Investigation-287121281.html">Qualcomm</a>, and <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/mercedes-benz-assisting-chinese-authorities-in-raid-investigation-1407220273">Daimler</a>. In September, UK pharmaceutical company GSK paid a record $489 million fine to China for allegedly bribing doctors to prescribe its drugs, <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/19/us-gsk-china-idUSKBN0HE0TC20140919">Reuters</a> reported. 
Whereas senior executives of foreign firms were once given VIP treatment in China, they are now being subjected to prolonged questioning by Chinese investigators. 
"There are concerns about the lack of transparency and length of time people are being held for questioning," Edmonds said. "There is a hope for a minimum level of transparency [in China], which hasn't always been present."

Their camera flashes go off like strobe lights. Cinderella's long blonde hair spills out the side window, in what appears to be a reference to Princess Diana's own golden locks, which were <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1565797/Diana-jury-shown-paparazzi-death-photos.html">visible from her car</a> after a fatal crash in 1997.*Warning: Graphic images and descriptions ahead.*That late summer night, Princess Diana and her companion Dodi Al Fayed chased down the streets of Paris to escape pursuing paparazzi. <a href="http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/princess-diana-death-dossier-finally-released-by-whitehall-officials-1449965">According to a 2008 inquest</a> by the UK government, her chauffer, Henri Paul, who had been drinking, lost control of the vehicle as he sped away from photographers on motorcycles.<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/07/AR2008040702743.html">The jury found</a> Paul and the photographers responsible for the deaths of Princess Diana and Al Fayed.Here's a photo of the crumpled Mercedez-Benz just hours after the crash, as police removed it from the underpass.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Reuters</div></div></div>Banksy's latest daring installation appears to be a commentary on the modern day relationship between public figures and the media.

"Souvenir photos available."It appears the fairytale isn't all it's cracked up to be.Throughout her life, Princess Diana battled bitterly for her privacy.
