Police officers in San Bruno observed a Waymo car making an illegal U-turn. The incident highlights a gray area in law enforcement’s ability to cite robot cars when they violate traffic laws.

Fox News' Jonathan Hunt reports the latest on the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. Correspondent Rich Edson details Dems' response to Trump deploying the National Guard and'Outnumbered' co-host Kayleigh McEnany weighs in on the escalation. Dozens of protesters have been arrested following a weekend of violence across Los Angeles as tensions hit a boiling point over immigration raids throughout the city. On Sunday, law enforcement officials from multiple agencies arrested 41 protesters as anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demonstrations spiraled out of control. Of the nearly four-dozen arrests, 21 were made by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), 19 by California Highway Patrol and one by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.

A larger-than-life mural of Kobe Bryant and daughter Gianna will remain on the wall of Hardcore Fitness in downtown Los Angeles for at least another year. The video game company 2K Games, which features the late Lakers legend on the cover of "NBA 2K24," helped reach an agreement to save the beloved mural. Cecilia Moran, the gym's owner, told The Times in September that her landlord wanted the artwork removed by the end of the month so the space could be used for advertising. A change.org petition to save the mural received more than 90,000 signatures. Ronnie Singh, head of lifestyle and content marketing at 2K, announced his company's deal to help preserve the mural Monday on ESPN's "NBA Today."

Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Fire Department became the first city in the country to add a firefighting robot to their ranks--and it has already proven its metal on the frontlines. Weighing about 3,500 pounds, the Thermite Robotic Systems 3 firefighting vehicle--or RS3 for short--is capable of deploying about 2,500 gallons of water per minute. The vehicle, which can be controlled by a handheld remote from a safe distance, is also equipped with a high-definition video stream so that the operator can easily maneuver the robot through difficult conditions in the field. Although The Los Angeles Times reports that the RS3 is about the same size as a Smart car, it is small enough to fit through a set of double doors while also being strong enough to plow its way through a wall should the need arise. "We can fight the fire from inside," LAFD Chief Ralph Terrazas told the news outlet, adding that the robot was a "game-changer" for his team.

When a fight broke out recently in the parking lot of Salt Lake Park, a few miles south of downtown Los Angeles, Cogo Guebara did what seemed the most practical thing at the time: she ran over to the park's police robot to push its emergency alert button. "I was pushing the button but it said, 'step out of the way,'" Guebara said. "It just kept ringing and ringing, and I kept pushing and pushing." She thought maybe the robot, which stands about 5 feet tall and has "POLICE" emblazoned on its egg-shaped body, wanted a visual of her face, so she crouched down for the camera. Without a response, Rudy Espericuta, who was with Guebara and her children at the time, dialed 911.

Apps have helped people share their homes, cars and technical skills. But stuff -- specifically, the kind that spends most of the year in garages, closets and sheds -- hasn't proved as easy to share. Rather than own stuff you'll seldom use, the start-up offers on-demand rentals. Joymode delivers a package of beach chairs, blankets and sand toys. Want to have a backyard movie night on a whim?

There's a good chance information about you is available for sale to advertisers and other businesses on Vertical Mass. The nearly 3-year-old West Hollywood start-up provides user data storage and analysis software for companies in music, sports, video games and Hollywood. Those companies also can list some of their user information for sale, with Vertical Mass collecting a portion of the proceeds.

But investors think the company is only getting started as a key information broker in the entertainment universe.

The gig: Kirstin Harper-Smith, 32, is senior project manager at Boston-based Suffolk Construction, where she is supervising the building of a 525-unit apartment tower on Hope Street in downtown Los Angeles. The 888 Grand Hope Lofts project by L.A. developer CIM Group will eventually rise 34 stories, consuming 27,000 cubic yards of concrete and 3,500 tons of rebar along the way. As head of the 10-person office side of the project, she oversees the budget, ensures safety requirements are met and directs who should do what jobs when -- all while trying to keep the project on schedule to wrap in about two years. She anticipates 10-hour days until then. An early start: Harper-Smith caught the engineering bug while growing up in San Diego.

Two months after auto tech firm Mobileye's partnership with Tesla Motors Inc. dissolved, a Mobileye executive slammed Tesla, saying the design of the automaker's Autopilot semi-autonomous driving feature was "pushing the envelope in terms of safety." Amnon Shashua, chairman and chief technology officer for Jerusalem-based Mobileye, told Reuters that Tesla's Autopilot is "not designed to cover all possible crash situations in a safe manner." The report was published Wednesday after markets closed. Mobileye confirmed to The Times on Thursday morning that Shashua made the comments quoted by Reuters, but it would not comment further. Mobileye develops chips and software for advanced collision-avoidance systems and had worked with Tesla on its Autopilot feature.
