  16-07-2016 23:33 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Tesla's Autopilot semi-self-driving technology is under fire after a fatal crash in Florida in May has called into question whether some owners have invested too much trust in the system's capabilities.
  Two federal-government agencies are investigating the tragic incident, along with other nonfatal accidents involving Autopilot.
  The crash has also set off a debate about what the future holds for driverless cars.
  But much of the discussion around Tesla's response to the incident is missing the po

• This stock market rally isn't like the others (SPX)

  16-07-2016 23:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The rally in stocks to all-time highs has little to do with earnings — the most important driver of stock prices — according to Deutsche Bank.
  On Monday, the S&P 500 broke through its previous intraday high for the first time since May 2015.

• GUNDLACH: I saw something in the bond market I'd never seen before (TLT, TLO)

  US bond yields are historically low.
  Last week, the yields on 10- and 30-year bonds fell to record lows.
  Yields fall when bond prices rise amid strong buying by investors. And the price gains for bonds this year have given investors the biggest returns for a comparable period since 1995, according to Bloomberg.

  After more than a year, stocks are finally at all-time highs again.
  They were on track to hit this record right before UK voters chose to leave the EU in June.

  But just three weeks later, the benchmark S&P 500 index aced its closing and intraday highs.
  In a note on Tuesday, Alan Ruskin, global head of G10 FX strategy at Deutsche Bank, wrote that the cloud has lifted on six key concerns inves
