Tesla Cybertruck Test Fails; Getac G140 Rugged Tablet Reviewed, WiFi Biometric ID Advances - May 23, 2026

Key points

• •Researchers in Germany have demonstrated that conventional WiFi signals can be leveraged to identify individuals with nearly perfect accuracy by analyzing radio wave reflections. This breakthrough implies that existing wireless networks could be used for biometric identification without deploying specialized sensors, impacting security and robotics applications reliant on person tracking.[Science Daily Robots]
• •In a real-world test of Tesla Cybertruck's claimed amphibious ability, a man drove the vehicle into a lake which resulted in failure of the vehicle to function as a boat, passenger evacuation, and the driver's arrest. This event casts doubt on the practical viability of Tesla’s advertised multipurpose capabilities in its electric truck, reflecting ongoing scrutiny of Tesla's robotic and vehicle innovations.[Futurism]
• •The Getac G140 rugged Windows tablet was released targeting professionals in fire & rescue, automotive, and utility industries requiring durable computing hardware. Resistant to mud and rain, the device nevertheless underperformed in core performance benchmarks, underscoring the challenges in engineering robust field machines that meet critical usability and reliability standards in demanding conditions.[ZDNET Robotics]
