Wednesday:

The National Traffic Safety Board (NTSB) weighs in on a crash where a Waymo rob-taxi crashed into a nine year-old outside of a Santa Monica elementary school.

Thursday:

I (Damien) will admit that sometimes when I’ve had a couple videos that are mired in the less-than-400-views, I do a video just because I think people will watch it. Did we need to do a video on the California High-Speed Rail Authority Business Plan when the more in depth article at Streetsblog did very well? Probably not. But did I make it anyway? Yes. Yes I did.
