Uber announced Friday it is expanding its partnership with Alphabet’s Waymo to offer robotaxi rides in Austin, Texas, and Atlanta beginning in early 2025. Uber riders in those cities can be matched with a driverless Waymo car for some trips, according to the companies. A Waymo spokesperson said it had no plans to partner with Uber in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Uber’s initial agreement with Waymo in Phoenix also included autonomous Uber Eats deliveries in the city. Some analysts were more hopeful for a potential Uber and Waymo expansion into San Francisco.

“We’re concerned with any tobacco product use among kids, and that includes nicotine pouches. And of those who use nicotine pouches, more than 1 in 5 say they use them every day. These flavors and targeted marketing are among the many factors that influence youth tobacco product use, CDC’s Kittner said at the briefing. “The continued decline in e-cigarette use among our nation’s youth is a monumental public health win,” King said in a statement. But we can’t rest on our laurels, as there’s still more work to do to further reduce youth e-cigarette use.”CNN’s Jacqueline Howard and Jen Christensen contributed to this report.

☆ I found out my 3-year-old daughter would have active shooter drills. I pulled her out of in-person learning because of it.
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-05 | by ( Colleen Kelly | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Read previewI pulled my 3-year-old from in-person preschool a few years ago. I couldn't let a place of learning implant visions of violence in a child so young she didn't even know the word. I knew she'd be negatively affected by shooter-response drills, and she already felt anxious at school, a new environment for her. I requested exemptions for kids with disabilities, kids with special needs, kids with limited English-speaking ability, and kids with existing traumas. She's enrolled in a virtual school that holds live classes, has a robust curriculum, and conducts no drills.

☆ Google's live demo of Gemini ramps up pressure on Apple as AI reaches smartphone users
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-14 | by ( Kif Leswing | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

During Google's Pixel phone launch on Tuesday, a product director named David Citron took the stage to show off the mobile capabilities of the company's new AI assistant, Gemini. Rivals are preparing consumers for a future of AI, but Google's Gemini features are real and are shipping — at least for testing purposes — now. Google's kickoff on Tuesday could put renewed pressure on Apple, as the two smartphone market leaders race to integrate AI into their operating systems. Google's most important presentation on Tuesday was Gemini Live, its next-generation assistant. The company said Apple's approach is less private than Google's, because Gemini "doesn't require hand-off to a third-party AI provider you may not know or trust."
