#China’s #BYD recalls 88,981 plug-in hybrids over #battery #safety #hazard
"Qin PLUS models affected were produced Jan2021-Sep2023.. BYD, facing sliding sales & profit, has recalled >210k vehicles in 2025.. Oct, BYD announced its largest #recall of >115,000 Tang & Yuan Pro vehicles produced 2015-2022 due to #design #defects & battery-related safety risks.. 2024, BYD also recalled ~97,000 Dolphin & Yuan Plus #EVs due to manufacturing fault"🤦‍♂️

St Kilda and Prahran hoon operation

ST KILDA & PRAHRAN, VIC. — Victoria Police has issued a stern warning to hoon drivers to avoid Melbourne’s south this summer, following a two-night operation which saw 150 hoon vehicles identified and almost 120 defect notices issued in a crackdown in St Kilda and Prahran.

Are Foundation Models Ready for Industrial Defect Recognition? A Reality Check on Real-World Data

Foundation Models (FMs) have shown impressive performance on various text and image processing tasks. They can generalize across domains and datasets in a zero-shot setting. This could make them suitable for automated quality inspection during series manufacturing, where various types of images are being evaluated for many different products. Replacing tedious labeling tasks with a simple text prompt to describe anomalies and utilizing the same models across many products would save significant efforts during model setup and implementation. This is a strong advantage over supervised Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, which are trained for individual applications and require labeled training data. We test multiple recent FMs on both custom real-world industrial image data and public image data. We show that all of those models fail on our real-world data, while the very same models perform well on public benchmark datasets.
