    Hi solvers, and thanks for giving my puzzle a shot, I hope you enjoyed it. Drop us a like or what-have-you, and let me know how you got on.
    ACROSS. 1A. "Vehicle" = CAR + "exit" = GO. 5A. Last letter of "denial" = L + "in orher words" = I.E. 6A 2D. Containment of "controversial machine artist" = DALL-E inside "salty" = BRINY with L / R switch. 7A. Dropped H from "listen" = HEAR. 8A. Hidden in "juiCYBERries".
    DOWN. 1D. "Rookie" = CUB + "in charge" = IC. 3D. anag. GREEN. 4D. Subtract "bishop" = B from "fringe" = BORDER.
