Applicable to: OBD port contact issues, short circuits.
Measures voltage on the 16-pin OBD port to identify physical connection problems (e.g., oxidized ports, shorted wires). Avoid replacing expensive control modules for simple hardware issues. Key Features Summary Deep support for heavy-duty truck-specific protocols (accurate data).
Critical functions: DPF regeneration, injector testing, speed limit adjustment, etc.
Full-system diagnostics for major diesel brands.
4-in-1 real-time data graphing/comparison.
Full OBD/OBD2/EOBD support (including light-duty diesel trucks and pickups).
PIN detection to troubleshoot communication issues.

Jury says Tesla must pay $329 million for a deadly crash involving Autopilot
A Miami jury ordered Elon Musk 's car company on Friday to pay $329 million to victims of a deadly crash involving its Autopilot driver assist technology, opening the door to other costly lawsuits and striking a blow to Tesla 's reputation for safety. The federal jury held that Tesla bore significant responsibility because its technology failed and that not all the blame can be put on a reckless driver, even one who admitted he was distracted by his cell phone before hitting a young couple out gazing at the stars. The decision comes as Musk seeks to convince Americans his cars are safe enough to drive on their own as he plans to roll out a driverless taxi service in several cities in the coming months. The decision ends a four-year long case remarkable not just in its outcome but that it even made it to trial. Many similar cases against Tesla have been dismissed and, when that didn't happen, settled by the company to avoid the spotlight of a trial.

Breakingviews - Figma IPO sketches case for direct listings
NEW YORK, Aug 1 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Precious few of Silicon Valley's self-professed renegades are ready to rebel against Wall Street. The madcap market debut of design-software developer Figma (FIG.N), opens new tab makes a case they should. An abundance of capital is already keeping companies private for longer, changing the rationale for going public. Doing so with the direct listing method, rather than a traditional initial public offering, would be more suitable. Figma sparked a frenzy by selling, opens new tab shares for $33 apiece on Wednesday after twice increasing its planned price range. By Thursday's end, they were trading for $115, giving the company a $56 billion valuation, nearly triple what rival Adobe was willing to pay for it in 2022. On Friday morning, the price hit $125. This mania does little for Figma beyond raising its profile. Having generated, opens new tab more than $200 million of adjusted free cash in the year through March, the 13-year-old firm led by Dylan Field wasn't seeking to raise much money and only sold about a third of the 37 million shares on offer. The rest came from earlier backers such as Index Ventures and Kleiner Perkins. Less than 8% of Figma's stock was available to investors who are, as ever, motivated by the fear of missing out on a fast-growing company. They ascribed a nonsensical valuation of 75 times last year's revenue. The biggest beneficiaries: financial advisers, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, that were paid generous fees to sell the shares, and their clients who received early allocations and an immediate return. Direct listings are better tailored for situations like Figma's. Used previously by Spotify Technology (SPOT.N), opens new tab and Palantir Technologies (PLTR.O), opens new tab, the process enables existing owners to sell straight onto an exchange with fewer restrictions. Market forces also determine the price instead of closed-door roadshows that cede such power to big fund managers and investment banks, whose incentives differ. Although traditional IPOs make sense for many companies, well-capitalized brand-name ventures like financial plumbing provider Stripe are a growing breed. There are more than 1,200 firms worldwide with private valuations of at least $1 billion, according to research outfit CB Insights. Such unicorns, opens new tab increasingly go public so investors can cash out rather than to fund growth. And although the sample size is small, a dozen direct listings have generated, opens new tab a 42% five-year return on average compared to just 9% from thousands of IPOs spanning 1999 to 2021, per University of Florida finance professor Jay Ritter. Figma's buzz will inspire other founders to go public, but they would do well to be more creative. Follow Jeffrey Goldfarb on X, opens new tab and Linkedin, opens new tab.

Delta Air assures US lawmakers it will not personalize fares using AI
WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines (DAL.N), opens new tab said on Friday it will not use artificial intelligence to set personalized ticket prices for passengers after facing sharp criticism from U.S. lawmakers. Last week, Democratic Senators Ruben Gallego, Mark Warner and Richard Blumenthal said they believed the Atlanta-based airline would use AI to set individual prices, which would "likely mean fare price increases up to each individual consumer's personal 'pain point.'" Delta has said it plans to deploy AI-based revenue management technology across 20% of its domestic network by the end of 2025 in partnership with Fetcherr, an AI pricing company. "There is no fare product Delta has ever used, is testing or plans to use that targets customers with individualized prices based on personal data," Delta told the senators in a letter on Friday, seen by Reuters. "Our ticket pricing never takes into account personal data." The senators cited a comment in December by Delta President Glen Hauenstein that the carrier's AI price-setting technology is capable of setting fares based on a prediction of "the amount people are willing to pay for the premium products related to the base fares." Last week, American Airlines (AAL.O), opens new tab CEO Robert Isom said using AI to set ticket prices could hurt consumer trust. "This is not about bait and switch. This is not about tricking," Isom said on an earnings call, adding "talk about using AI in that way, I don't think it's appropriate. And certainly from American, it's not something we will do." Delta said airlines have used dynamic pricing for more than three decades, in which pricing fluctuates based on a variety of factors like overall customer demand, fuel prices and competition but not a specific consumer's personal information. "Given the tens of millions of fares and hundreds of thousands of routes for sale at any given time, the use of new technology like AI promises to streamline the process by which we analyze existing data and the speed and scale at which we can respond to changing market dynamics," Delta's letter said. It added that AI can "assist our analysts with pricing by reducing manual processes, accelerating analysis and improving time to market for pricing adjustments."
