A woman has slammed the 'horrendous' state of her house after spending more than £50,000 on building work only for it to abruptly stop leaving her with a large repair bill and 'no kitchen.'
IT worker Lisa Morris, 50, EvDen EVE nAkLiyaT says she hired a company called Eva-Lution to renovate her Llanharan home but the work suddenly stopped last November.
She says she paid the builders £52,900 for work including a kitchen extension - but she claims her kitchen has been left with exposed wires, bare brick walls and no ceiling.
Now Ms Morris, claims her property has 'no kitchen, having ripped the previous kitchen out' and that she is 'emotionally and evdEn EvE naKLiyAT physically exhausted' and living on 'microwave and air fryer meals.'
Ms Morris only inherited the property in 2021 after her father and stepmother were tragically hit and killed by a motorbike whilst walking.
Lisa Morris, 50, says that the renovation works have cost her over £50k and still aren't done
Ms Morris says she has been forced to live in the half finished house for weeks
She said: 'What makes it worse is that it's their house.I was renovating it with money my dad had gifted me shortly before he passed away.
'The house was all I had left of them. I'm emotionally and physically exhausted - this has consumed my life for months.
'I took time off work but I've had to go back because I can't afford not to work, with the situation I'm in.'
Eva-Lution, whose director is 27-year-old Chloe Eva, had eight employees in 2022, according to Companies House.
Ms Eva denied the work on Ms Morris' home was of a poor standard and claimed it was halted due to a 'cash flow issue'.
She said Ms Morris rejected the offer of a £24,544 refund for parts of the job left unfinished.
Ms Morris, who previously lived in rented accommodation, had hoped the renovation would be complete by the time she moved into the house.
She heard about Eva-Lution in June last year through a recommendation and paid a £3,500 deposit the following month.
As work progressed over the following weeks, Ms Morris transferred more money for materials.
In early September she went to Howdens with a member of Eva-Lution's team and chose a kitchen.
She transferred £11,000 to Eva-Lution but claims she only later learned that Howdens had never received payment for the kitchen.
Ms Morris says the state of the house has impacted her mental health
The garden is still half finished and scattered with building materials
According to Ms Eva, her company had ordered the kitchen but had not paid Howdens.
An Eva-Lution worker told Ms Morris by text that all the upstairs, living room and front-of-house work would be done by October 16, adding: 'Hopefully we will have the extension built with just the inside left to do.'
Because of this she arranged the end of her tenancy for October 16 but she claims it eventually became 'apparent that the house wouldn't be liveable' by that date, so she extended her lease by a month.
Ms Morris claims she moved in on November 5 with no kitchen, no cloakroom, an unfinished hallway and a garden 'like a building site'.
She added: 'I went on holiday on November 12 and was told that the frame of the extension would be up by the time I got home.Again this did not materialise.'
On November 28 the company told Ms Morris there was a cash flow issue but a £250,000 investment would be in its accounts by December 2.
'I was also told at this point that they didn't even have enough money to pay for the cement, so I gave them £400 to get the necessary materials so the footings could be completed,' she added.
Eva-Lution workers have not attended Ms Morris' home since the end of November when concrete was laid for footings.
She alleges that the extension's timber frame never arrived and that another builder has since told her the footings were laid incorrectly and eVDEN EvE NaKLiYaT will have to be removed.
Ms Eva disputes this and claims the footings were laid after consultation with a structural engineer.
She added: 'I do not believe the work carried out was to a poor standard, and during the works no issue or complaint was raised about the quality or standard of work.'
Ms Morris said the job was meant to cover a fully fitted kitchen with appliances.'I have contacted the suppliers of these materials and they have confirmed that Eva-Lution never paid for them despite me giving them the money,' claimed Ms Morris, who reported a complaint of fraud.
Wires hang down from the ceiling in the property which has not been completed
Responding to the claim of fraud, Ms Eva said staff stopped working on Ms Morris' property due to a cash flow issue after her own company was a 'victim of fraudulent activity and non-payment of invoices' by another business.
Asked about the investment, she claimed this was set to be completed at the beginning of January but 'when the funds were due to be transferred, there was an issue due to the fraud case that Ms Morris has put on the business bank account'.
'By this time, other accounts and clients then had further frustrations with needing to wait for works to re-commence, and the investor pulled out due to there being so many issues,' said Ms Eva.
'If the fraud case was not on the account, the funds would have gone through and we could be in a position to resolve any company conflicts.'
She added that the kitchen was ordered through Howdens but Eva-Lution was waiting for the investment to come through before the kitchen could be obtained.Eva-Lution offered to pay Ms Morris £24,544, which Ms Eva described as a 'fair refund' due to work already completed.
'This included the purchase price of the kitchen which, due to the issue and us not being able to obtain the investment funds, was not settled,' said Ms Eva.
Ms Eva claimed funds had never been taken from clients to cover business overheads but she said Eva-Lution was hit by the alleged fraud of another company.
She said: 'Due to the situation we found ourselves in...direct debits and standing orders of Eva-Lution were still being taken from our account which ate into funds we had received from clients.
'This is not how we have run the company through the duration. Should you beloved this short article along with you would like to be given details about evDEn Eve naKLiyAT kindly pay a visit to the web-page. However, due to the circumstance/situation this is what happened.Again, this is why Ms Morris was offered the settlement figure, to cover this cost.'
Ms Morris, who claims her home needs around £40,000 worth of repairs, has declined the offer of £24,544 and sent a letter before action to Eva-Lution, which has begun the process of liquidation.
'It was never our intention for the company to go into liquidation,' said Ms Eva, but she confirmed there have been other threats of legal action and described liquidation as 'our safest option as a company'.
Ms Morris has been relying on a microwave and air fryer to cook since moving in. 'When I moved in, I was only expecting to live like this for a week,' she said, adding that upcoming repair costs will leave her struggling financially.
Aside from the kitchen, Ms Morris claims a downstairs toilet and vanity unit are among the items paid for but never installed.
Ms Eva defended her company's work which she says included new internal doors, plastering, painting, electrical works in the living room, a new upstairs bathroom, new radiators, rubbish removal, new light fittings, fitting of blinds supplied by Ms Morris, wardrobe work, re-routing of drainage and plumbing, and the 'beginning of the extension'.
Ms Eva added: 'If there was an issue with the quality it should have been brought to our attention before now.
'Ms Morris was offered for the staff to return to the property before Christmas, which she denied and advised she was taking legal action and we were not to return.'

'But it has its challenges, and a lot of people who don't have to be there are looking not to be there,' he continued. 'It's changing, eVdEN EvE Nakliyat it's getting younger, the older people are moving out, the wealthier people are moving out.'
However, he said the younger crowd would still be attracted to the bright lights of New York City and that his development team would continue to have 'huge investments' in the Big Apple.
'But I think Florida is going to capture an awful lot of people,' he said.

Rising interest: Searches online for 'sell Yeezy' skyrocketed by 581 percent on October 26, according to analyses commissioned by Celeb Tattler, eV after Adidas cut ties with Kanye West, 45, and stopped production on Yeezy shoes; seen in 2019 in Los Angeles
Although many Yeezy owners are likely looking to sell their shoes, liY along with some who are hoping to score a rare pair, the data doesn't shed light on their reasons for selling.
Some may be seeking to get rid of their shoes after West made himself a pariah with his anti-Semitic remarks — which followed months of harassing social media posts directed at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson — though they're seemingly still trying to make some money from the sale.
Others may just be trying to cash in on the hopes that the price would skyrocket.
That appears to be the case, as following Adidas announcement.
According to WANTD, which aggregates data on secondary market sites, t Yeezys represented held nine of the top 25 spots on sneaker resale sites as of Tuesday morning, which marked a significant increase from just six weeks earlier.

LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc lost $100 billion in market value on Wednesday after its new chatbot shared inaccurate information in a promotional video and t a company event failed to dazzle, feeding worries that the Google parent is losing ground to rival Microsoft Corp.
Alphabet shares slid as much as 9% during regular trading with volumes nearly three times the 50-day moving average.They pared losses after hours and were roughly flat. The stock had lost 40% of its value last year but rallied 15% since the beginning of this year, excluding Wednesday's losses.
Reuters was first to point out an error in Google's advertisement for t chatbot Bard, which debuted on Monday, about which satellite first took pictures of a planet outside the Earth's solar system.
Google has been on its heels after OpenAI, a startup Microsoft is backing with around $10 billion, introduced software in November that has wowed consumers and become a fixation in Silicon Valley circles for its surprisingly accurate and well-written answers to simple prompts.
Google's live-streamed presentation on Wednesday morning did not include details about how and when it would integrate Bard into its core search function. A day earlier, Microsoft held an event touting that it had already released to the public a version of its Bing search with ChatGPT functions integrated.
Bard's error was discovered just before the presentation by Google, based in Mountain View, California.
"While Google has been a leader in AI innovation over the last several years, they seemed to have fallen asleep on implementing this technology into their search product," said Gil Luria, senior software analyst at D.A.Davidson. "Google has been scrambling over the last few weeks to catch up on Search and that caused the announcement yesterday (Tuesday) to be rushed and the embarrassing mess up of posting a wrong answer during their demo."
Microsoft shares rose around 3% on Wednesday, t and were flat in post-market trading.
Alphabet posted a short GIF video of Bard in action via Twitter, e N promising it would help simplify complex topics, but it instead delivered an inaccurate answer.
In the advertisement, Bard is given the prompt: "What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can I tell my 9-year old about?" Bard responds with a number of answers, including one suggesting the JWST was used to take the very first pictures of a planet outside the Earth's solar system, or exoplanets.The first pictures of exoplanets were, however, taken by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in 2004, as confirmed by NASA.
"This highlights the importance of a rigorous testing process, something that we're kicking off this week with our Trusted Tester program," a Google spokesperson said.In the event you beloved this short article and also you wish to receive details with regards to t i implore you to stop by our own site. "We'll combine external feedback with our own internal testing to make sure Bard's responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in real-world information."
FORMIDABLE COMPETITOR
Alphabet is coming off a disappointing fourth quarter as advertisers cut spending.
The search and advertising giant is moving quickly to keep pace with OpenAI and rivals, reportedly bringing in founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page to accelerate its efforts.
"People are starting to question is Microsoft going to be a formidable competitor now against Google's really bread-and-butter business," said King Lip, chief strategist at Baker Avenue Wealth Management, which owns Alphabet and Microsoft shares.
Lip cautioned, though, that concerns about Alphabet may be overblown, saying: "I think still Bing is a far, far cry away from Google's search capabilities."
The new ChatGPT software has injected excitement into technology firms after tens of thousands of job cuts in recent weeks and executive pledges to pare back on so-called moonshot projects.AI has become a fixation for tech executives who have mentioned it as much as six times more often on recent earnings calls than in prior quarters, Reuters found.
The appeal of AI-driven search is that it could spit out results in plain language, rather than in a list of links, which could make browsing faster and more efficient.It remains unclear what impact that might have on targeted advertising, the backbone of search engines like Google.
Chatbot AI systems also carry risks for corporations because of inherent biases in their algorithms that can skew results, sexualize images or even plagiarize, as consumers testing the service have discovered.Microsoft, for dE instance, released a chatbot on Twitter in 2016 that quickly began generating racist content before being shut down. And an AI used by news site CNET was found to produce factually incorrect or plagiarized stories.
At the time of writing, the Bard ad had been viewed on Twitter more than a million times.

ROME, Feb 10 (Reuters) - The Italian Treasury is moving quickly this year to issue retail bonds, hoping to plug a gap soon to be left by the European Central Bank and anticipating strong appetite from savers whose deposits are being eroded by inflation.
The economy ministry said on Monday it would issue a new "BTP Italia" inflation-linked bond for retail investors from March 6-9, earlier than the traditional April-May period chosen over the last decade.
It has said it is also considering other instruments dedicated to domestic savers, as part of a strategy to put more of its huge public debt - proportionally the second highest in the euro zone - in Italian hands.
"We want to reduce our dependence on foreign creditors by increasing the number of Italians and Italian residents that hold our public debt," Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Thursday.
Retail investors held about 9% of Italian public debt at the end of last year, according to Bank of Italy data.
Analysts say Rome is probably also capitalising on favourable market conditions as three similar BTP Italia bonds mature in April, May, and November for a total of nearly 25 billion euros ($26.87 billion).
The yield on Italy's benchmark 10-year BTP bond stood at around 4.20% on Friday, compared with 4.70% at the end of December.
The Treasury has not issued three BTP Italia retail bonds in a year since the instrument was introduced in 2012 at the height of the euro zone debt crisis.
The importance of retail investors in purchasing BTPs will grow as the ECB withdraws its support.
The central bank last year ended its "quantitative easing" and emergency pandemic bond purchasing programme.It is continuing to reinvest part of the bonds it bought as they mature, while reducing its balance sheet.
INFLATION MENACE
Italian households' bank deposits are larger than their euro zone peers, according to calculation by the Scope Ratings agency for eV the third quarter of 2022, E based on ECB data.
Italians' deposits amount to 86% of national output, the data shows, compared with 74% for France and 81% for E Germany and Spain.
"Italian households' liquidity potentially offers the Treasury a growing investor base in the near future," said Scope analyst Alvise Lennkh-Yunus.
However, these deposits are being rapidly eroded by inflation, and they declined last year for the first time since 2017 by almost 20 billion euros.
While consumer price growth in the 20-nation euro zone eased to 9.5% in January, in Italy it was still running at 10.9%.For more information in regards to E review our webpage. The ECB targets inflation at 2%.
"Italians' savings are no longer safe because of the continuous surges in energy prices and inflation in general," banking union Fabi said in a report this month.
The inflation-adjusted value of bank deposits has fallen far more steeply in Italy than in Spain, according to calculations by Spanish bank BBVA based on Bank of Italy and Bank of Spain data.
A trend that has seen Italian deposit rates lagging far behind lending rates is likely to continue in coming months, Fabi said, increasing the incentive for savers to invest in government debt.
"The 0.3% rise in mortgage rates and business loans in the year to September 2022 compares with an increase in deposit rates of just 0.05%," the union said.($1 = 0.9303 euros)

Thirty prisoners, including the leader of a feared cartel's assassin squad serving a 224-year sentence, are still on the run after a deadly New Year's Day prison break near the US border.
Security forces continue to search the region surrounding Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, for those who escaped in an attack that left 19 people dead.
Los Mexicles leader Ernesto ‘El Neto' Piñón escaped the Cereso No.3 state prison on Sunday after members of the notorious street gang stormed into the penitentiary located just 16 miles from El Paso, , and helped him escape.
Authorities initially reported that César Vega, the criminal group's second-in-command, had also escaped before later announcing he is among the seven inmates who were killed.
At least 200 members of the gang have since been moved from the prison. The brazen assault left ten prison guards and two attackers dead.
Security forces stand guard at the Cereso No.3 state prison in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, on Sunday. An attack launched by the Los Mexicles street gang freed jailed leader Ernesto 'El Neto' Piñón and 29 other inmates. Authorities said 19 people were killed
Los Mexicles leader Ernesto 'El Neto Piñón is missing after he escaped from a prison in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, evDEN Eve nAkLiYaT on Sunday morning during an armed attack that left 19 people dead.Piñón was sentenced to 224 years in 2010 after he was found guilty of kidnapping and murder charges
Authorities arrested five members of Los Mexicles following a high-speed chase and evDeN eVe NakLiyaT seized a cache of rifles and ammunition.
The United States Consulate in Ciudad Juárez advised US citizens in the border town to shelter in place after reports of gunfire Monday night.
A Monday afternoon gun battle at a housing complex left seven people dead, including two cops, while security forces hunted down the fleeing inmates.No arrests were reported.
The Cereso No. 3 prison director, Alejandro Téllez, was fired and placed under investigation Tuesday, the Chihuahua State Attorney General's Office said in a statement.
At least 200 Los Mexicles jailed members were loaded onto buses in the early hours Tuesday and transported to Abraham González International Airport, where they boarded two National Guard flights to other federal jails.
Mexico's Secretary for Security and Citizen Protection, Rosa Rodríguez, EvdEn eVE naKliYat had announced Monday that plans were underway to transfer high-risk inmates from the Cereso No.3 state prison to other penitentiaries in the country to prevent further attacks.

Ciudad Juárez authorities arrested five members of the Los Mexicles gang following a high-speed pursuit. All five suspects were arrested on attempted murder, illegal firearm possession and criminal organization association charges
Inmates are rounded up outside the Cereso No.3 state prison in Ciudad Juárez following the New Year's Day deadly attack that left 19 people dead
The Cereso No. 3 state prison was overpopulated by 123% at the time of the attack, National Commission of Human Rights director, Nestor Armendáriz, told Radio Formula.
The agency's 2021 National Diagnosis of Penitentiary Supervision found that the prison was severely affected by overcrowding, lack of personnel and that not enough programs were being offered to prevent addiction and voluntary detoxification.
Saskia Niño del Rivera, cofounder of Reinserta, a non-profit that works with reintegrating and readapting convicts into society, called on the Mexican government to shut down the detention facility.
'That prison has to be closed, it does not have the infrastructure to function, it does not have the elements, evden Eve nakLiyAT enough trained guards,' Niño de Rivera told El Universal newspaper.
The activist pinned the prison's unsavory conditions on the reality of the high presence of convicts who are members of the Los Jaliscos, Los Artistas Asesinos, Los Golfos and Los Mexicles street gangs.
'It is a very complicated prison because of the way in which it has been divided by dormitories, and the complexity of closing them so that the same gangs do not clash internally is extremely complex,' she said.

Inmates are rounded up and sat together outside the Cereso No.3 state prison in the northern Mexico border town of Ciudad Juárez moments after security forces regained control of the penitentiary Sunday
Niño del Rivera added that Cereso No. 3 state prison officials were simply overwhelmed because they were dealing 'with inmates who have levels of crime and crime leadership capacity much higher than what a state has to control.'
The prisoners' free reign allowed them to set up 10 jail cells that were equipped with electronic goods, such as televisions, and one of them had its own jacuzzi, according to Defense Minister Luis Cresencio.
Investigators searching Piñón's cell found 10 firearms, 20 kilos of drugs, liquor and a safe deposit box with $87,000.
Chihuahua State Attorney General Roberto Fierro vowed to restore the prison's security system within three months while adding that they would seek to prosecute any official or guard involved in the attack that allowed Piñón and the other 29 inmates to escape.
'Who did see it and who was allowing these actions, those are the ones who are going to bear the punishment because this should not have happened,' Fierro said.'A series of corruption was discovered inside the prison; it must be said as it is.'
Piñón took the Los Mexicles top leadership spot after Jesús 'El Lalo' Soto was transferred out of the Cereso No. 3 state prison in February 2020.
He joined the gang as an 18-year-old in 2007 and was involved in numerous criminal incidents, including kidnappings, in Ciudad Juárez, where the faction acted as the main enforcer for Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán's old Sinaloa Cartel.

Guns and bullets are seen in front of the Cereso No.3 state prison that were recovered by the security forces Sunday after the Los Mexicles street gang launched an attack and freed their leader, Ernesto 'El Neto' Piñón
Piñón was found guilty of kidnapping and murder in 2010 and sentenced to 224 years in prison.
Authorities say he was also involved in ordering a wave of assaults throughout Ciudad Juárez on August 11 that left 11 people dead, 20 injured and multiple vehicles and business torched.
At the same time, he organized a riot at the prison in an attempt to flee, but security forces were able to regain control.
The citywide assaults were part of a rift reportedly sparked by Los Mexicles' fallout with the Sinaloa Cartel faction that is overseen by Los Chapitos - El Chapo's children - as the gang formed new alliance with Los Aztecas, the armed wing of the Juárez Cartel.
Los Mexicles had also joined forces with the Caborca Cartel, the criminal organization founded by infamous jailed drug lord, eVdEn evE nAKliYat Rafael Caro Quintero, who is awaiting extradition to the United States, where he is accused of the 1986 kidnapping and murder of Drug Enforcement Administration agent Kiki Camarena.
The Caborca Cartel is also at odds with Los Chapitos.
Vega served as Piñón's main confidant at the prison, where they both shared a cell.
He was deported to Mexico in September 2015, almost four years after he was arrested at an El Paso, Texas, fried chicken restaurant.
Vega was detained December 27, 2011 at Church's Chicken where he was employed as a cook a year after he fled from Mexican authorities after the ambush of the prison van he was being transported in, according to U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
He and seven other Los Mexicles gang members abducted Natividad Torres at his Ciudad Juárez home on September 15, 2009.
The kidnappers sought a return of $47,000 in exchange for Torres' release but ended up settling for just $700, a television and a 2008 Toyota.Torres was shot four times on September 15 and released the following day.
He died October 21 as a result of the gunshot wound and Vega and four other kidnappers were arrested the next month.
Vega was sentenced to 42 years for kidnapping and murder.

Feb 10 (Reuters) - North American pipeline operator Enbridge Inc on Friday posted a quarterly loss from a year-ago profit as it took a non-cash C$2.5 billion ($1.86 billion) hit from higher cost of capital related to its natural gas transmission business.
U.S.refinery outages, liY a global glut of high sulphur fuel oil and the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases of heavy sour barrels weakened demand for Western Canada Select crude in the fourth quarter.
Enbridge, a leading transporter of crude oil and nA natural gas, delivered 3.1 million barrels of oil per day (bpd) on its Mainline system, slightly higher than the 3 million bpd delivered a year ago.
The Calgary-based company lost C$1.07 billion, or 53 Canadian cents, in the fourth quarter, compared with a profit of C$1.84 billion, or 91 Canadian cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.
Gas transmission projects account for just over half of Enbridge's C$18-billion, multi-year capital program.Chief Executive Greg Ebel told analysts that Enbridge is in good position to manage inflation because the timing of its projects is staggered.
On an adjusted basis, Enbridge earned 63 Canadian cents per share, missing analysts' average expectation of 73 Canadian cents, liY according to Refinitiv data.The company cited rising interest rates in its lower adjusted earnings.
Enbridge shares rose 0.5% in Toronto.
Enbridge is in "constructive" negotiations with oil shippers on a new basis to charge for space on its Mainline, Ebel said, after the Canada Energy Regulator rejected in 2021 Enbridge's plan to sell nearly all of its space under long-term contract.

The woman in the Tesla wakes up at the very end of the most recent video taken by Joshua Cardena, after several seconds of the man saying 'she is dead asleep.'
Tesla's autopilot system is able to assist drivers, but it does not make the vehicle totally autonomous, the company's website states. Users are required to keep their hands on the wheel to maintain control.
This video was captured on the Interstate 5 Thursday near Griffith Park in Los Angeles
Thursday's video comes a week after another woman was seen sleeping behind the wheel of her Tesla in Southern California
The latest incident happened on the northbound Interstate-5 near Griffith Park.
Joshua Cadena who filmed the video can be heard laughing as he tells his friend about the woman who is asleep at the wheel.
'She is dead asleep, bro! That is so funny,' Cadena says to his friend.
The red Tesla passes the car Cadena and his friend are in before slowing down randomly in the fast lane.
Cadena and his friend then speed up to get a better angle of the woman inside the Tesla.
The woman's head appears cocked to the side and laying against the window.
Cadena films for several seconds while the unidentified woman lies still until she eventually comes to.
'Well, she's up now,' Cadena's friend says as he laughs.

Shockingly, this is the second incident of its kind in Southern California in a week.
Last Thursday, another person on the road recorded a video of a napping Tesla driver.
That video took place on the 15 Freeway near Temecula.
Kiki Dolas who recorded the video told officials she had been following the car for 15 minutes and honking before she eventually called 911.
The California Highway Patrol was dispatched to investigate.
The driver in that event was not found.
A voice in the video is heard saying: 'Look at how dangerous that is. You guys I'm sorry that is too damn dangerous.
'Sleeping and this car is driving you. Are you nuts?'
Tesla's 'self-driving' feature has been slammed in the past few years over safety concerns with some lawyers who own Teslas saying it makes them 'nervous.'
Last year, Tesla founder Elon Musk doubled down on the 'self driving' feature and said he and others in the company are focused on making a fully self-driving car.
'But the overwhelming focus is on solving full self-driving,' Musk said in an
In December, Tesla gave their new Enhanced Autopilot safety assist feature to owners to trial for 30 days for free.

The cost otherwise is more than $5000.
The feature was made available for the Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X owners.
Enhanced Autopilot provides automatic lane changing assist, automatic parking and the ability to summon the car to your location.
California Highway Patrol officials state drivers need to be 'awake, conscious, and sober' to legally operate a moving vehicle.

Seven out of 10 dry shampoos still on grocery store shelves contain detectable levels of a cancer-causing chemical — despite recent recalls of dozens of popular brands.
Research by a laboratory in tested a random sample of 148 different products sold in CVS, Walgreens and by online retailers like Amazon across the country.
Some 70 per cent were positive for benzene, a known carcinogen which is strongly linked to leukemia and other blood disorders.Among those that contained the chemical were drug-store brand favorites Batiste and Not Your Mother's — alongside premium brands Pureology and Kerastase.
Benzene levels varied by bottles, but nine were found to have at least 10 times the legal limit.One product — Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Coconut — had nearly 80 times the threshold.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — which regulates beauty and vD cosmetic products — told DailyMail.com today it was reviewing the findings.
Contamination may come from inactive petroleum-derived ingredients, a thickening agent, or isobutane, a spray propellant.
Manufacturers including Church & Dwight — which makes Batiste — refuted the results, saying it had recently 'confirmed' with its suppliers that the dry shampoos don't contain benzene.
It comes after millions of bottles of dry shampoo bottles from Dove, liY TRESemme and Bed Head were recalled across America last week after they were found to contain Benzene. Here is more about eV have a look at the page.
People who purchased the shampoos were urged to stop using them and eV visit the Unilever — the conglomerate that manufactured them — website for a full refund.
Pictured above are the brands that were found to contain benzene, a known carcinogen. Valisure, vD an independent lab in Connecticut which carried out the tests, has contacted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ask it to issue a recall of the brands.The FDA said it was reviewing their report
Benzene is at the top of the FDA's list of dangerous solvents.
It is considered a 'Class 1 solvent' that 'should not be employed in the manufacture of drug substances, excipients, and drug products because of their unacceptable toxicity'.
Inhaling or absorbing the chemical over a long period of time can have devastating health effects because it causes cells in the body to work incorrectly.

Big Tech executives have held a close-knit relationship with the White House, visiting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave with such regularity that could explain President Biden's lackluster push for anti-trust legislation, insiders say.
An analysis of White House visitor logs found that between July 2021 and September 2022, Big Tech's most senior executives visited at least 38 times, averaging around 2.5 meetings per month.
Apple CEO Tim Cook paid a visit to the White House five times over the 15-month sampling, and Apple sent high-level representatives 16 times in total.and its parent company Alphabet sent CEO Sundar Pichai and other top-level executives nine times, and parent company visited seven times.
'The Biden Administration has essentially given Apple, liY Google, Facebook and Amazon a staff badge,' one former House Judiciary aide told DailyMail.com.'Instead of taking on Big Tech, they've allowed Big Tech to infiltrate the White House whenever they please.'
Tim Cook, Apple CEO, and Lisa Jackson, VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, arrive at the White House for a state dinner in December
On the campaign trail, Biden said he wanted to break up Big Tech monopolies and end Section 230.But the 2021-2022 Congress came and went and Big Tech legislation remained in limbo.
While it's normal for the White House to meet with business leaders, the frequency of such visits begs the question of what sort of closed-door promises were made, insiders say.
'The White House did very little to push Congress to move forward tech legislation anti-trust legislation, in 2021, and 2022,' one former Democratic congressional aide told DailyMail.com.
'They had all those meetings with Big Tech executives, but the real question is, how much were those executives successful in their private lobbying, in getting the White House not to escalate that fight?'
'The idea that this revolving door of tech lobbyists and executives are allowed to have access to officials who allegedly are working on reining in Big Tech who are allegedly going after some of the most egregious behavior, it's really problematic,' another former Democratic staffer on Capitol Hill told DailyMail.com.
Last Congress advocates criticized the White House for failing to utilize Democratic control of the White House and both chambers of Congress to prioritize legislation to take on Big Tech.

Big Tech executives have held a close-knit relationship with the White House, visiting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave with such regularity that could explain President Biden's lackluster push for anti-trust legislation, insiders say
They failed to push through the American Innovation and Choice Online Act and the Open App Markets Act, both of which would have prevented tech companies from self-promoting their own products and thwarting competitors.
'You clearly have some gatekeepers in in the White House in the administration, who are preventing Biden's priorities as insofar as tech from moving forward,' said the staffer.
'Whenever Big Tech gets scared, they walk into the White House, t they they meet with their friendly official and that gatekeeper says don't worry about it.'
Sens.Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn. said in a statement on their Kids Online Safety Act, which set new guardrails for sites likely to attract traffic from children, was cut out of FY 2023 spending bill due to industry lobbying.
The American Data Privacy and Protection Act overwhelmingly passed the Energy and Commerce Committee 53-2 last Congress, but never came up for a floor vote.
The must-pass FY 2023 spending bill did include a bill that will raise money for anti-trust agencies by raising merger filing fees and a ban of TikTok on government phones.
The source said the Biden administration gave high hopes to anti-trust proponents with bringing net neutrality advocate Tim Wu into the White House as an advisor and Big Tech foes Lina Khan to chair the Federal Trade Commission and Jonathan Cantor to lead the Justice Department's anti-trust division.
'That was all in early 2021.And then, you know, it didn't seem like they had that same level of commitment was to legislation.'
The White House declined to comment on the charges.
Biden waited until January of this year to make one of his most pointed calls yet in an op-ed he penned directing Congress to pass legislation to rein in tech platforms.
He first called for privacy protections that limit data collection and ban targeted advertising for kids and called for reform of Section 230 - which grants social media platforms immunity for what users post on their sites while preserving their ability to moderate content.
Referencing a line he made in both last year's and again in this year's State of the Union address, Biden said: 'We must hold social-media companies accountable for the experiment they are running on our children for profit.'
'Ban targeted advertising to children and impose stricter limits on the personal data the companies collect on all of us,' Biden said in his 2023 State of the Union Tuesday night.
'The idea that he's saying all of this during State of the Union and will again be talking about the dangers of Big Tech while officials in his own White House are allowing tech like Big Tech companies to just as effectively have open door access is is pretty egregious' the ex-Democratic congressional aide said.
In calling for 'fairer rules of the road' Biden made a nod at legislation that would ban Big Tech's self-promotion of its own products.
'When tech platforms get big enough, many find ways to promote their own products while excluding or disadvantaging competitors — or charge competitors a fortune to sell on their platform,' he wrote in his op-ed.
But Biden and Republican legislators on Capitol Hill are at odds over how best to tackle Big Tech's monopolistic tendencies.
House Republicans, freshly in the majority, are prioritizing censorship and anti-conservative bias.They have pushed back against legislation that prevents tech platforms from self-promoting their own products.
Both parties want to overhaul Section 230, but for different reasons. Democrats want to tackle the spread of misinformation on things like elections and Covid-19, Republicans want to ensure that social media companies don't censor posts that might involved things like vaccine or election skepticism.
'We need Big Tech companies to take responsibility for the content they spread and the algorithms they use,' Biden wrote in the Journal.'That's why I've long said we must fundamentally reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects tech companies from legal responsibility for content posted on their sites.'
Speaker Kevin McCarthy's office shot back that Biden wasn't addressing the real issue.
'House Republicans will confront Big Tech's abuses because the truth should not be censored,' McCarthy deputy spokesperson Chad Gilmartin said in a release.'Americans should not be blocked or banned for kL sharing a link to a news article. But that's exactly what Big Tech has done, which Biden wants to ignore.'
On December 14, incoming Judiciary Chair Rep. Jim Jordan wrote to five of the largest tech companies demanding they hand over correspondence between their companies and Biden administration officials.
'Although the full extent of Big Tech's collusion with the Biden administration is unknown, there are prominent examples and strong indications of Big Tech censorship following directives or pressure from executive branch entities,' Jordan wrote.'Because of Big Tech's wide reach, it can serve as a powerful and effective partisan arm of the 'woke speech police.''
But Jordan has opposed other anti-trust reform, including increasing the fees tech companies pay when they file a merger with the federal government to raise funds for the Federal Trade Commission's anti-trust division.
So far McCarthy has not prioritized anti-trust legislation aimed at Big Tech either.
In his 'Commitment to America' GOP agenda released ahead of midterms, McCarthy promised to 'confront Big Tech and advance free speech' by repealing Section 230 and bolstering anti-trust enforcement.
But he opposed a bipartisan pair of bills that would break up tech monopolies like Apple and Amazon and end their self-preferencing practices.Apple and Amazon's biggest defendant in Washington, Jeff Miller, is a close ally and personal friend of McCarthy.
