Federal prosecutors say a former OpenAI engineer secretly installed a recording device in a conference room to gather company details. The Saudi national was reportedly close to fleeing to Saudi Arabia. Abdulrahman Alfozan's wife and son left the U.S. after his arrest, with tickets paid for by a Saudi military official. Prosecutors argue Alfozan has resources and foreign support, noting Saudi Arabia has no extradition treaty with the U.S. Alfozan's lawyers claim the trip was planned for paternity leave and that he was pursuing U.S. citizenship. A judge on Monday sided with prosecutors and ordered him held until trial.

Tesla has unveiled its new Roadster sports car, which can thrust itself in the air, among other engineering bells and whistles. But drivers shouldn’t expect to take it for a spin anytime soon. The car features cold gas thrusters and a “multi-mode” suction system that allows it to fly for short spurts and spin mid-flight.
