Editor's note: Download and listen to the audio version below and click here to subscribe to the Today in Manufacturing podcast.The Today in Manufacturing Podcast is brought to you by the editors of Manufacturing.net and Industrial Equipment News (IEN).This week's episode is brought to you by the fintech pioneers at Klear. When demand outpaces the funding needed to sustain growth, manufacturers run into what is known as the “success trap."The success trap is all too common. Enterprises invest heavily to fill orders while waiting weeks for payment. This dynamic can create a deficit in working capital that forces many to make decisions that lead to delivery delays and frustrated customers.Check out this report, "The Success Trap: Why Fast-Growing Manufacturers Fail," to learn how manufacturers can avoid these types of barriers in growing their business.Every week, we cover the three biggest stories in manufacturing, and the implications they have on the industry moving forward. This week:- Stellantis Sells Half of $3.7B EV Battery Plant for $100- Waymo Workers in Philippines Are Helping Stumped 'Driverless' Cars- Rockwell Automation Picks City for New Million-Square-Foot Manufacturing FacilityIn Case You Missed It- Honda Developing Energy Efficient AI Chip to Help Eliminate Vehicle Crashes- Infusing Asphalt with Plastic Could Help Roads Last Longer- Smart Underwear Could Help Treat Intestinal Health Issues Please make sure to like, subscribe and share the podcast.

CEO Chris Urmson called it a “superhuman” moment, adding that Aurora's trucks can now carry freight 1,000 miles in 15 hours — faster than what a human driver can legally accomplish. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Driverless taxis are coming to DC! At least, that's what Waymo, the California-based autonomous vehicle company, announced last year. The company revealed hopes of  expanding into the District, despite DC's current laws requiring a human driver behind the wheel for all vehicles. So will these robotaxis actually arrive? Andy Hawkins has been covering Waymo for The Verge, and CityCast's own Priyanka Tilve has logged serious hours riding in Waymos around Austin. They're bringing their expertise front and center to tell us if DC is serious about driverless cars. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.

The race for the first viable driverless taxi fleet is still moving forward at a rapid pace, with players like Tesla and Waymo generating regular headlines highlighting the good and the bad.And though the vision is there, the technology that's being tested now in a handful of American cities is not perfect just yet.Recent reports point to comments made by Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, regarding the degree of independence his company's autonomous vehicles really offer.In an early February Congressional hearing, lawmakers grilled Waymo and Tesla executives on the future of autonomous vehicles.During the meeting, Waymo's Peña was pressed on the firm's use of foreign workers and technology, and the extent to which Waymo was using foreign assistance came as a bit of a surprise: the company is apparently using workers in the Philippines to remotely “fix” stumped autonomous vehicles on their routes.Peña stressed that the humans in question do not remotely operate the vehicles fully, rather they “provide guidance” – a clarification that didn't quell the concerns of some lawmakers, including Massachusetts senator Ed Markey, who said “having people overseas influencing American vehicles is a safety issue.” Additional concerns raised in the hearing were those of cybersecurity and, of course, the offshoring of jobs.Markey added, “It's one thing when a taxi is replaced by an Uber or a Lyft. It's another thing when the jobs just go completely overseas.”#AutonomousVehicles, #DriverlessCars, #Robotaxi, #Waymo, #Tesla, #SelfDriving, #AI, #ArtificialIntelligence, #TechNews, #TransportationTech, #FutureOfTransportation, #Mobility, #AVSafety, #Cybersecurity, #RemoteWork, #Offshoring, #USCongress, #TechPolicy, #Regulation, #StartupNews, #VentureCapital, #SmartCities

A federal jury in Phoenix ordered Uber to pay $8.5 million to passenger Jaylen Dean after she was raped by an Uber driver in November 2023. This landmark verdict represents the first time Uber has been found liable in a sexual assault case, potentially affecting over 3,000 pending lawsuits against the rideshare company. The jury rejected Uber's longstanding defense that drivers are independent contractors rather than employees, establishing crucial legal precedent for future cases.Court records reveal that between 2017 and 2022, Uber received reports of sexual assault or misconduct approximately every 8 minutes in the United States. That amounts to at least seven reports per hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These numbers are widely believed to be dramatically underreported due to shame, fear, and victims' belief that nothing will be done.Evidence presented during the trial showed that Uber's internal systems flagged Jaylen Dean's ride as high risk for a serious safety incident moments before pickup, yet the company chose not to warn her, with executives testifying it would have been "impractical" to do so. This revelation undermines Uber's public claims about prioritizing rider safety above all else.The case highlights systemic failures in rideshare safety protocols and raises questions about liability when companies classify workers as independent contractors while simultaneously monitoring risk levels. Uber spokesperson Matt Colin stated the verdict "affirms that Uber acted responsibly" while simultaneously announcing plans to appeal. The plaintiff's attorneys had requested $144 million in damages. Uber maintains that 99.9% of rides occur without incident, though critics argue this statistic minimizes thousands of annual assault victims. The legal battle continues as rideshare companies face increasing scrutiny over sexual violence during rides.

Driverless cars are coming to London — and not in a distant sci-fi future sense. Real streets, real traffic, real pedestrians stepping into the road while staring lovingly into their phones. With Waymo preparing autonomous vehicle rollouts, the capital may soon become one of the biggest live experiments in artificial intelligence transport ever attempted in the UK.In this episode of Mark and Pete, we explore what the arrival of self-driving cars really means, beyond the glossy headlines. Are autonomous vehicles genuinely safer than human drivers? What happens when algorithms replace judgement? And who is responsible when a driverless car makes the wrong decision — the passenger, the programmer, the manufacturer, or the invisible data model trained on millions of previous journeys?We look at the deeper cultural shift behind automation: convenience slowly eroding competence, responsibility being outsourced, and society drifting into a world where humans stop making decisions because machines make them faster. Driverless cars aren't just a transport change. They're a philosophical change.Mark and Pete also discuss how technology subtly reshapes morality. When accountability becomes unclear, the temptation is to blame “the system” rather than face human agency. From a biblical perspective, this matters: Scripture assumes responsibility, wisdom, and conscious choices — not passive surrender to machinery.With humour, realism, and a long-view Christian lens, this episode asks the bigger question: in a world where cars drive themselves, are we still awake enough to know where we're going?

The freight market is aggressively correcting toward specialization, highlighted by Werner Enterprises' decision to acquire dedicated carrier FirstFleet for $245 million. This strategic move adds over 2,400 tractors to their fleet and secures stable revenue streams in an otherwise volatile sector. While carriers expand, major retailers like American Eagle and Office Depot are pulling the plug on third-party logistics services to refocus on core operations. These companies realized that selling "supply chain as a service" became an operational nightmare that distracted from their primary retail goals. Automation takes a giant leap forward as Gatik launches fully driverless commercial trucking operations in Texas, Arkansas, and Arizona. By removing the safety driver entirely, the company is effectively solving the middle-mile challenge for Fortune 50 retailers moving perishable goods. Efficiency drives major changes at UPS, where the parcel giant plans to eliminate 30,000 jobs while downsizing its network to manage lower Amazon volumes. The company is also modernizing its air capacity by permanently retiring its aging MD-11 fleet in favor of more efficient Boeing 767s following a recent fatal crash. Financial scandals rock the brokerage world as a new lawsuit alleges the R&R Family of Companies continued operating while insolvent, racking up millions in unpaid bills. Court filings claim the founders transferred valuable property to themselves even as lenders urged an orderly wind-down of the business. Finally, regulators have opened a public comment period regarding the controversial under-21 interstate trucking program amid strong industry debate. While large fleets push to extend the pilot to address labor shortages, safety advocates warn of higher crash risks associated with younger drivers.

Major retailers are retreating from the logistics sector as American Eagle and Office Depot pull the plug on their third-party services. This strategic pivot returns focus to core retail operations, forcing thousands of outside brands to find new fulfillment partners. On the technology front, Gatik has reached a major milestone by launching fully driverless commercial trucking operations at scale in North America. These autonomous medium-duty trucks are now executing daily revenue-generating routes across Texas, Arkansas, and Arizona without human intervention. Drivers and consumers are also feeling the pain at the pump as diesel prices surge amid a severe winter cold snap. Refinery disruptions in the Gulf Coast and high heating oil demand have pushed the benchmark up by more than 16 cents in just two weeks.

Driverless and autonomous vehicles are moving steadily from concept to reality, raising important questions for cities, streets and planning systems. While the technology is often framed as a transport or engineering issue, its impacts are likely to be felt far more broadly — shaping travel behaviour, land use, and the way urban space is organised. In this episode of PlanningxChange, hosts Cam Alderson and Jess Noonan are joined by Cern Basher to explore what autonomous vehicles could mean in practice. The discussion focuses on the economic and systemic forces behind driverless cars, rather than technological hype, and considers how cost, scale and incentives may influence how — and where — autonomy is adopted. The conversation examines potential implications for parking, congestion, public transport and equity, as well as the risk of unintended consequences such as increased travel demand. Rather than assuming a single future outcome, the episode highlights the uncertainty planners must work within as new technologies emerge. This episode also marks PlanningxChange's first video release, alongside the regular audio format, and introduces a new hosting arrangement — continuing the podcast's tradition of practical, practitioner-focused discussion about the forces shaping planning and cities.

In the United States, driverless taxis piloted by artificial intelligence are appearing in cities from Los Angeles to Miami. But are these phantom drivers more or less prone to accidents than humans? Do robotaxis pose risks to our safety? Our France 2 colleagues went for a test drive. 

Today on Tech and Science Daily from The Standard, we look at fresh plans for a major clinical life sciences building next to St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, TfL's evolving role in how driverless vehicles could operate on London streets, and ARIA's update on real-world field research into “re-thickening” Arctic sea ice.

Driverless trucks have officially made it to the road and everyday operations of many shippers, but there is still plenty of room for innovation in the field. For instance, if there is no driver, why keep the driver's compartment at all? This week, we speak with Roozbeh Charli, CEO of Einride, which is introducing fully cabless autonomous trucks into customer fleets and accelerating that rollout through its business combination with Legato Merger Corp. III (NYSE:LEGT). Roozbeh explains how Einride has sped up commercialization by integrating autonomous operations into its existing fleet electrification services, and why he believes now is the right moment for the industry to move past incremental steps and embrace what fully autonomous logistics can ultimately look like. Give it a listen.

Waymo and Tesla have expanded driverless taxi operations in major US cities, including San Francisco, Atlanta, Austin, and Phoenix. Waymo operates in six cities and plans to enter Dallas, Houston, and Miami, while Tesla is growing its ride-hailing fleet in Austin and San Francisco with plans for Arizona, Florida, and Nevada. Amazon's Zoox runs robotaxis in Las Vegas, Miami, and Seattle. Waymo reports over one million autonomous rides monthly and seeks a $100 billion valuation. Both companies are testing various business models, such as app-based bookings and partnerships with Uber, and are working to access airport and highway routes. The industry faces challenges with incidents, regulatory scrutiny, and the need to achieve financial sustainability without human drivers.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Regulations, Water Challenges, and the 2026 Outlook: Roger Isom on the AgNet News Hour In this Thursday edition of the AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Lorrie Boyer sit down with Roger Isom, a leading voice in California agriculture. The conversation covers critical challenges and opportunities for growers, including regulatory pressures, water scarcity, rising energy costs, and strategies for advocacy heading into 2026. Advocacy and Grassroots Engagement Active participation in agriculture advocacy is essential. Growers and farm suppliers are encouraged to engage with legislators and county supervisors. Joining industry organizations strengthens collective influence: Western Tree Nut Association (WTNA): wtna.org California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association (CCGGA): ccgga.org 2026 is an election year—growers need to be heard in policy and voting decisions. Regulatory Challenges Rodenticide restrictions: Proposed DPR rules may limit usage, affecting food safety and crop protection. Sustainable pest management: Phase-out of priority pesticides by 2050 raises concerns about balanced advisory representation. Automation hurdles: Driverless tractors face restrictions under OSHA rules, despite driverless cars operating freely. Increasing paperwork burdens take time away from actual farming. Water, Energy, and Affordability Pressures Groundwater restrictions are enforced ahead of SGMA 2040 benchmarks. Funding gaps prevent critical infrastructure development for water conveyance and storage. Rising PG&E rates threaten farm operations: Proposed 27% electricity hike California agricultural rates up to 3x higher than Texas Solar payback periods under NEM 3.0 now nearly 20 years. The Future of California Agriculture Population loss and migration of growers to states like Texas and Idaho. Regulatory and energy burdens threaten long-term agricultural viability. Advocacy, voter engagement, and unified industry action are critical to protecting California agriculture. Wine Industry Insights Younger generations are drinking less wine due to cost, health, lifestyle, and cannabis alternatives. Wine marketing must emphasize storytelling, tasting experiences, and approachable options. Sampling and education about varietals, winemakers, and history can grow consumer appreciation. In today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, host Nick Papagni (The Ag Meter) and co-host Lorrie Boyer wrapped up a lively discussion on the changing landscape of wine consumption and what the wine industry can do to engage new generations of drinkers. Younger Consumers: Price, Health, and Lifestyle Drive Decisions Lorrie explained that younger adults are drinking less wine for several reasons—cost being a major factor. Many prioritize health, career, or school, while others prefer non-alcoholic beverages now trending in breweries and restaurants. She noted that wineries may need to expand into non-alcoholic options, just as beer companies have. Experience Over Alcohol: What Today's Drinkers Want Nick and Lorrie agreed that modern consumers focus more on experiences than alcohol volume. Craft cocktails, tasting-room visits, and curated beverage moments continue to capture interest. At the same time, the overwhelming number of wine choices can intimidate new drinkers, especially when bottle prices are high. The Value of Tasting and Storytelling Lorrie shared her personal love for wine tasting—trying small pours, exploring Cabernet and Zinfandel, and discovering new favorites based on food, mood, and weather. She emphasized that winery visits are about more than wine: Meeting the winemaker Learning the history Hearing the story behind each bottle Nick added that “every bottle has a story,” underscoring why wine remains a unique and powerful part of agriculture. Wrapping Up Nick and Lorrie closed the episode with excitement for upcoming holiday-themed content and encouraged listeners to return tomorrow for more ag news, insights, and seasonal fun.
