California Inc.: L.A. event puts urban transportation in spotlight

Welcome to California Inc., the weekly newsletter of the L.A. Times Business Section. One story stood out for me: Uber says it will introduce flying taxis in Los Angeles by 2020. "We're trying to work with cities in the early days who are interested in partnering to make it happen, while knowing that there will be pitfalls along the way," says Jeff Holden, Uber's chief product officer. Solar panels: President Trump will be presented with a plan Monday to impose restrictions and tariffs on imports of the most popular photovoltaic generating panels used in the booming U.S. residential and utility-scale solar markets. The U.S. International Trade Commission, an independent agency, has proposed the action after two international solar-panel producers with U.S. plants complained that they needed protection from low-cost imports.
