Uber is launching its own parking reservation service
Uber Parking is built on the company's acquisition of SpotHero. After cementing itself as a ride-hailing platform, Uber wants to own the way people park, too. The company announced it was acquiring SpotHero, a parking reservation service, in February, and starting today it's bringing SpotHero's features into its own app as Uber Parking. Using Uber Parking, you can find garages and lots near your destination and make reservations so you'll have a spot once you get there. Uber says you can search for parking by tapping the new Parking icon in the Uber app, entering your destination and browsing the interactive map of available spots.
NHTSA investigates if Waymo robotaxis are still running school bus stop signs
Waymo's 2025 software recall may be less effective than initially thought. Several months after Waymo issued a voluntary software recall on its robotaxis for running red lights and stop signs from stopped school buses, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into the recall's effectiveness. The recall query began on Friday to determine whether Waymo's update worked, since a majority of incidents occurred after the ... remedy date. The latest investigation from the NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation referenced Waymo's software recall in late 2025, which itself followed an investigation from the agency into the root issue. NHTSA's first probe revealed that Waymo's robotaxis were documented driving past stopped school buses with flashing red lights and stop sign arms deployed in Atlanta, Georgia and Austin, Texas.

The climate case for AI has not been made
AI leaders claim their tech will fix the climate. The evidence mostly points in the opposite direction so far. This week, as countries meet in Antalya, Turkey for the United Nations climate conference, one topic likely to dominate the conversation is artificial intelligence. The host has already called on countries to commit to ensuring that AI is designed, powered, and deployed in ways that support climate action. But so far, industries around the world aren't doing nearly enough to harness the technology to actually drive down the greenhouse-gas emissions heating up the planet, despite some very optimistic claims from AI companies. In 2024, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman declared that AI would unleash "astounding triumphs," including "fixing the climate."

In 1964, then-Pontiac division president John Z. Delorean (yes, Delorean, of movie car fame) invented the muscle car category by bolting the big-block V8 engine from the company's full-size cars into its lighter intermediate-sized chassis to create the legendary Pontiac GTO. Kawasaki has done the same thing for its Jet Skis for the 2027 model year by installing the 310-horsepower supercharged 1.5-liter engine from its bigger Ultra models into the sporty, agile Jet Ski STX hull. The result is a truly eye-opening performance with what the company says is its quickest Jet Ski yet.
