Tesla is expanding its robotaxi service to Dallas and Houston, according to a social media post from the company.

The post says simply that “Robotaxi is now rolling out in Dallas & Houston 🤠” and includes a 14-second video showing Tesla vehicles driving without human monitors or drivers in the front seat.

The company now offers robotaxi service in three cities, all of them in Texas, after launching in Austin last year and starting to offer rides without safety drivers in January 2026. In a February filing, Tesla said that its Austin robotaxis have been involved in 14 crashes since launch.

It also offers a more limited ride service with human drivers in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Tesla may not be running many vehicles in either of these new markets yet, with crowdsourced data on the Robotaxi Tracker website only registering a single vehicle in each city (compared to 46 active vehicles logged in Austin).

Longtime venture capitalist Ron Conway said Friday that he was “recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.”

In a post on X, Conway wrote that he “will be stepping back from some of my usual activities,” but he will “continue to support” founders backed by his firm SV Angel: “With a more focused and balanced schedule, I can prioritize treatments while helping SV Angel founders at inflection points like we always do!”

Conway also said SV Angel will be “unchanged,” as his son Topher Conway “has made all of our investment decisions for the better part of the last decade.” And he noted that another son, Ronny Conway, joined as a managing partner in 2024.

“They bring experience from nearly every major technology cycle in Silicon Valley and are now focused on partnering with founders building the future of AI,” Conway said.

He added that he’s not revealing “the specific type of cancer” in his diagnosis, because he doesn’t want “speculation” about the prognosis, but he said he remains “optimistic.”

“I am fortunate to have the best/amazing team of UCSF doctors in San Francisco, and as you know, I never back down from a fight,” Conway said.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has made public the scores of 632,788 applicants who participated in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) held on Thursday, April 16, 2026.

According to a statement from the Board’s Public Communication Adviser, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the results are now accessible for candidates to check. However, the option to print result slips has not yet been activated.

The statement further revealed that two examinees along with a parent are presently being held in connection with alleged manipulation of results using artificial intelligence tools and other electronic devices.

JAMB cautioned that anyone found guilty of such misconduct would face appropriate legal sanctions.

It also assured the public that the examination process is still ongoing and that additional results will be released progressively.

To access their scores, candidates are instructed to send “UTMERESULT” via SMS to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number used during registration.
