"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them."
To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

For decades we've been told that Americans "want" giant trucks and SUVs (that just happen to have huge margins and skirt old emissions/mileage standards). Would be interesting if our government allowed foreign carmakers to sell well-made inexpensive EV sedans to see what the market actually wants.
ICE has violated almost 100 court orders.
Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order.
That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Never has a two term President ever whined and complained this much about being the victim of running for President twice.
While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget.
NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy...
The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%.
NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break
There is a complete discord between US news and the rest of the world. 3 different international news agencies report that Iran will not entertain any negotiations until the blockade of Iranian ports is lifted.
Do not believe anything the regime in the US is telling you.
Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.
This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.
But heโs the one who is actually doing it.
"Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated which day the New York Mets suffered their 11th straight loss. It was on Sunday, not Monday. Even the Mets cannot lose on an off day."
Two copy editors high-fiving so hard right now
One of the most telling pics of the year ... so far.

There's only one perfect photo for this year's Earth Day, and it's this one that the Artemis II crew took. Happy Earth Day.

A small hummingbird with faint orange on its sides, a white belly, shining green feathers on its head, and the same green feathers mixed with white on its throat, perches on the branch of a plant. It's turned to the right and has its beak against the branch as it sticks its long, curved, clear tongue out. Behind the bird is an out-of-focus bright red lily flower. ๐ท Canon R5 Canon RF100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM M, f/7.1, 1/2000, ISO 1600, 500mm 7/30/24 Northern Oregon Coast

So much of Silicon Valley has reached the conclusion that there is money to be made from American authoritarianism, writes Dave Karpf. With its โmanifesto,โ Palantir wants to remind you that it reached that conclusion first, he says.
