Elon Musk's Neuralink plans a brain speech trial, BYD's all-electric hypercar hit a record-breaking speed, and the complicated Subnautica 2 lawsuit took a bizarre twist

from Engadget News + Next · host Engadget

Neuralink plans to begin another US clinical trial in October, using the implant to translate thoughts into text. The study will be held through an FDA investigational device exemption. The idea is to help people with speech impairments communicate through thought. In other news, a new hypercar has dethroned Bugatti's record for the fastest production car, and unsurprisingly, it's an electric vehicle. During a livestream at the Automotive Testing Papenburg testing site in Germany, the YangWang U9 Extreme hit a facemelting top speed of around 308.33 mph. And, the latest update in the convoluted lawsuit between Subnautica's developer, Unknown Worlds, and its parent company, Krafton, represents a complete 180 with one of the case's key claims. According to a PC Gamer report, Krafton said that "documents relating to the readiness of the game were irrelevant to the termination" of Unknown Worlds' leadership, which was one of the main disagreements that led to the legal action in the first place.
