In August, Kamala Harris' campaign launched a Twitch account in an effort to reach young people and some of the "hardest-to-reach voters" out there. It debuted with a stream of Harris' acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, which is perhaps what one could expect from an account owned by a presidential campaign. On the evening of October 9, though, the channel streamed live gameplay for the first time along with a live feed of Vice Presidential nominee Tim Waltz's speech in Arizona. As Wired notes, Twitch creator Preheat kicked things off by playing World of Warcraft on the channet at 6:30PM ET. Preheat, who told Wired that they volunteered for the task because of Harris' platforms, also provided commentary about the game and encouraged viewers to vote. "GOP is the opposite of POG," they said at one point during the stream. A spokesperson told the publication that the campaign is hoping to reach young male votes that make up most of Twitch's userbase by streaming the rally alongside WoW gameplay. Harris isn't the first politician to use Twitch to reach voters. Joe Biden's administration streamed his inauguration on the website, while Donald Trump's camp had been streaming rallies and speeches on the platform since 2019. The former president's account was suspended following the January 6 US Capitol riot, but it was reinstated in July this year. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is on Twitch, as well, and streamed herself a few times while playing Among Us.

On Thursday, Tesla CEO and noted fancy leaper Elon Musk will take the stage to showcase the companys robotaxi plans, a la the Cybercab. Although the vehicle we see isnt expected to be a fully functional product, investors and Tesla fans are hoping for a working prototype or other signs the company can navigate the technological and regulatory obstacles it will face. You can watch the event on an X livestream at 10PM ET. With the Cybercab, Musk is aiming for a fully autonomous vehicle that runs on a Tesla ridesharing network. Owners will also reportedly be able to make their cars available on the network to run as autonomous cabs, likened to a combination of Airbnb and Uber. The CEO began talking about the robotaxi plan years ago. However, it took on greater importance earlier this year when Tesla reportedly shelved its plans for an entry-level EV often called Model 2 in favor of the autonomous ridesharing project. Unlike competitors Waymo, Cruise and Zoox, Teslas current automation relies on cameras and AI. Reuters notes that Musk will aim to improve the tech rapidly enough to crack the highly regulated industry. No matter what is promised at the event, you may want to take the CEOs promises with several grains of salt (if not Cybertruckloads). In April 2019, Musk said, If you fast forward a year, maybe a year [and] three months, well have over a million robotaxis on the road. Here we are in 2024 which you may have noticed isnt, in fact, 2020 and Tesla doesnt have a single robotaxi on the road. Wired notes that the company doesnt have an autonomous permit in California and reportedly hasnt contacted the states AV regulators about testing. Waymo, Zoox, the beleaguered Cruise and Apple (no longer in the self-driving car business) have logged thousands of miles testing their self-driving vehicles in the Golden State. Waymo is the only company in the US currently operating robotaxis commercially. You can tune in to the livestream to see what Musk and company have in store at 10PM ET / 7PM ET on Thursday.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/how-to-watch-teslas-robotaxi-event-230046409.html?src=rss
