Trump to extend TikTok sale deadline another 90 days

TikTok is getting another lifeline. President Trump is set to sign an executive order that would push the divest-or-ban deadline for the popular social media app back by another 90 days.

On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reinforced that the administration doesn’t want the app to go dark and will “ensure [a] deal is closed.”

This is the third time the date has been pushed back. In January, the app was offline in the US for just a day before coming back online and eventually being reinstated on the Google Play and Apple App store. The new deadline would push the current deadline, originally this Thursday, to around mid-September.

Ford to bring eyes-off driving to its new EV platform by 2028

Ford is wading into the autonomous race against rivals like Tesla and GM.

On Wednesday evening, the Detroit automaker said it plans to introduce “Level 3” eyes-off systems to vehicles being built on its new production platform in Louisville by 2028. The first vehicle planned for the platform is a $30,000 midsize EV truck, planned for 2027.

In an interview with Reuters, Ford Chief EV and Design Officer Doug Field said the tech would not come at the $30,000 price point and would cost extra. Field said the company is still weighing just how much extra, and whether the system should be sold via a subscription model.

According to Ford, the eyes-off and hands-off tech will utilize lidar. Ford shares ticked up slightly in premarket trading on Thursday.

In August, Reuters reported that Ford rival Stellantis had shelved its Level 3 program due to high costs.
