Hawley said he planned to introduce a bill on the topic "soon," but declined to offer further details. A self-styled populist, Hawley staked out his stance against autonomous vehicles in a speech at the National Conservatism last week, where he cast AI as part of a transhumanist project and called for a series of restrictions on the technology. "Only humans should drive cars and trucks," Hawley said at the time.

The Chronicle, which helped to sensationalize the "doom loop" narrative about San Francisco four years ago, now has a headline about the beginnings of a "boom loop." The article goes on to talk about the fact that the AI boom and rising rents still doesn't mean developers are rushing to build new housing yet.

Earlier this year, the UK government delayed the rollout of driverless vehicles until late 2027* as it strives to build public trust. While limited self-driving technology is permitted on UK roads, a human driver must be at the wheel to supervise and intervene if needed. But several companies are already testing more advanced tech across the UK. In Belfast, NI's first self-driving vehicle - the Harlander shuttle bus - is giving passengers at Titanic Quarter a taste of the future.**

The facility is designed to reproduce a wide variety of driving environments that would otherwise be difficult or unsafe to test on public roads. According to Isuzu, it will include simulated urban streets, suburban roads, gradients, parking zones, highway entry and exit ramps, as well as ADAS testing areas. Traffic infrastructure such as traffic lights, bus stops, dedicated bicycle lanes, railway crossings, V2X equipment, and electronic speed limit signage will allow engineers to simulate complex real-world traffic situations.

In his comments, Hill noted that Tesla's FSD tests in the Boring Company's underground tunnels in Las Vegas have been going on for months. However, the full-self driving Teslas have reportedly not been carrying passengers during the tests. Interestingly enough, Hill noted that the FSD-driven vehicles have not had any incidents in the Boring Company tunnels yet, though safety drivers have been required to intervene "periodically."

"Muni has become 14% faster and more reliable, and the number of roadway crashes and injuries on Market Street has decreased 40% since the since this part of Market Street was made exclusively, exclusive for people walking, biking and taking public transportation," said Luke Bornheimer with Streets Forward.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a filing on Thursday that Tesla's reports on "numerous" incidents involving its driver assistance and self-driving features were submitted far too late - several months after the crashes instead of within five days as required. The probe comes two months after the electric vehicle maker run by Elon Musk started a self-driving taxi service in Austin, Texas, with hopes of soon offering it nationwide.

The Silicon Valley startup announced Thursday that several investors, including existing backer Baillie Gifford, added another $97 million to its Series E round. New investors include Icehouse Ventures, Kindred Ventures, Nvidia, and Pledge Ventures. Uber, which last month said it would make a "multi-hundred-million dollar" investment in Nuro as part of a broader deal with the electric car maker Lucid, also participated.

All the material they make here is what goes in pavement and asphalt. We think all mining sites should be autonomous because they are in a dangerous environment.
