SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tesla's entry into the robotaxi market has introduced a completely new model for rideshare services, according to new data from Obi, the global real-time aggregator for rideshare prices. With tightly moderated pricing that rarely topped $10 per ride over the course of Obi's study, the still-limited new offering is sharply undercutting the pricing of rivals Uber, Lyft, and Waymo in the San Francisco Bay Area. Obi is the world's largest rideshare price and ETA aggregator. With an average of $1.99 per kilometer, Tesla's robotaxis – which still travel with a human safety driver – are charging less than half of Waymo, Uber, and Lyft for rides. The median price for a ride in a Tesla robotaxi as measured in Obi's survey, which ran from November 27, 2025 to January 1, 2026 is $7.39. Meanwhile, the median Lyft ride cost $12.99, Uber $14.94, and Waymo $17.25. The percentage increase from the lowest price (Tesla at $7.39) to the highest price (Waymo at $17.25) is 133.42%. "When Waymo entered the market, our research saw that a ride was priced 30 to 40 percent higher than an Uber or Lyft ride, but consumers were still taking them enthusiastically, viewing an autonomous rideshare as a premium product," said Ashwini Anburajan, CEO of Obi. "We're seeing the complete opposite with Tesla's robotaxis. With low prices that virtually never surge, it's a wholly new approach to pricing rideshare." Meanwhile, the price difference between a Waymo and an Uber or Lyft has narrowed to 12-27%, due in part to lower Waymo prices as well as to an uptick in Uber and Lyft prices. This price convergence shows that while Waymo may have entered the market as a premium option, the company may have other plans in the long term. Obi's report, titled The Cost of Autonomy: Tesla, Waymo, and the New Rideshare Battleground, also contains the results of a sentiment survey that polled consumers in U.S. states where at least one autonomous rideshare service is operat...

The challenges keep rolling in for telehealth specialists. Telehealth services are convenient. There is nothing quite like being able to get some medical care, albeit virtual, from the comfort of one's home. Telehealth likely saves physicians and patients time and money. However, none of that has allowed shares of companies like Teladoc Health (TDOC 3.90%) and Doximity (DOCS 2.72%) -- two companies that provide telemedicine services -- to perform well in recent years. The even worse news is that there are reasons to think 2026 won't likely be very different for either. Both stocks could, once again, tumble this year. Let's find out why. Medicare restricts telehealth services During the early pandemic years, the government sought to make telemedicine services more accessible, for obvious reasons. People were stuck at home, and it was in everyone's best interest to help most patients avoid visiting healthcare facilities unless they absolutely had to do so. Provisions that reimbursed Medicare patients for telehealth services received anywhere, including at home, stayed on the books. However, they are set to expire on Jan. 31. After that, only Medicare patients receiving telehealth services from healthcare facilities or in rural areas -- or getting virtual mental health services -- will be reimbursed. Those receiving routine telemedicine visits at home in nonrural areas will not be. This will almost certainly impact the demand for telehealth.

Teladoc, a pure-play telehealth company, should see another weak performance in 2026. The company's revenue growth has been slow (at best), even without recent Medicare-related changes. Of course, Teladoc has a vast network of patients and does not rely solely on Medic...

Todd Lyons, acting director of US Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE), participates in a television interview outside the White House on Nov. 3, 2025, in Washington, DC. Brendan Smialowski | AFP | Getty Images The top federal judge in Minnesota ordered the acting head of ICE , Todd Lyons , to personally appear in Minneapolis court on Friday to explain why he should not be held in contempt of court for his agency repeatedly violating court orders related to immigration enforcement actions. The three-page order issued late Monday by U.S. District Court Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz was scathing, accusing federal immigration authorities of failing to comply with "dozens of court orders" in recent weeks, including one issued by the judge mandating a bond hearing for a detained immigrant. "This Court has been extremely patient with respondents, even though respondents decided to send thousands of agents to Minnesota to detain aliens without making any provision for dealing with the hundreds of habeas petitions and other lawsuits that were sure to result," Schiltz wrote in the order. "This Court's patience is at an end," Schiltz wrote. The judge said that the Department of Homeland Security and Lyons' Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which is a division of DHS, "have continually assured the Court that they recognize their obligation to comply with Court orders," and that they would take steps to honor those orders. "Unfortunately, though, the violations continue," Schiltz wrote. "Accordingly, the Court will order Todd Lyons, the Acting Director of ICE, to appear personally before the Court and show cause why he should not be held in contempt of Court," Schiltz wrote. CNBC has requested comment from ICE on the order. The judge called his order "an extraordinary step." "But the extent of ICE's violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed," Schiltz wrote. The order comes as Minnesota state officials press ...

Pubs given support package after business rates backlash 10 minutes ago Share Save Archie Mitchell Business reporter Share Save Getty Images Pubs and music venues in England will be given a 15% discount on their business rates bills from April and will not see increases for two years, the government announced. Treasury Minister Dan Tomlinson said the three-year package was worth £1,650 for the average pub. It comes after a backlash against November's Budget, which left many facing major increases in their business rates bills. Earlier this month, Chancellor Rachel Reeves said she was "particularly concerned" about the impact they faced and hinted there would be "additional support". UK Hospitality has warned that hotels, restaurants and other businesses in the sector are also at risk, calling for the support package to be widened. According to the government, the package will cost £80m in its first year, and the subsequent two years will be valued by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). Tomlinson said pubs are "the cornerstone of so many communities" and the government wanted to "go further" in supporting them. The government also promised to review how pubs are valued by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA), ahead of the next revaluation of premises in 2029. Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride dismissed the announcement and described it as a "sticking plaster", asking: "Is this it?" "After weeks of telling our local pubs that help was on the way, this is all they get," he said. He said the measures would "only delay the pain for a while" before warning that "thousands of businesses despair as their bills skyrocket". Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Daisy Cooper said the financial aid still left pubs facing higher business rates bills, and it did "nothing at all" for other high street businesses. She called for the government to increase business rates discounts for all retail, hospitality and leisure businesses, and for an "emergency" VAT cut for the hospitality...

三星电子宣布,首款三折叠屏智能手机Galaxy Z TriFold将于1月30日在美国上市销售,售价为2899美元。 这一价格大幅高于美国市场上的任何其他智能手机。三星自家的Galaxy Z Fold 7(仅有一处可折叠而非两处)零售价为2000 美元,和 苹果 顶配版iPhone 17 Pro Max(2TB存储空间)售价一样 三星将仅通过其官网和三星体验店销售TriFold,这意味着包括Verizon、T-Mobile和AT&T在内的移动运营商合作伙伴将不会直接提供该设备。 TriFold展开后可变成一台10英寸的大平板电脑,最薄处仅为3.9毫米,其折叠寿命为20万次。据三星介绍,美国版将配备512GB 存储空间,且仅有黑色可选。 该机型最初于12月2日在韩国开售,价格为359万韩元(当时约合2450 美元)。 这款手机的厚度和重量是其主要缺点。 一些早期评论称赞了该设备的宽大内屏,认为相比于 Fold 7和 谷歌 Pixel 10 Pro Fold等常规折叠屏,它能带来更具沉浸感的电影和视频娱乐体验。 但TriFold高达309克(0.68 磅)的重量及其折叠后的厚度是明显短板。考虑到超高端的价格,该机型的软件功能也常被认为不够成熟。 Galaxy Z TriFold 注定只能是一件小众的奢侈品,它更多地是三星在折叠屏领域工业设计实力的展示,而非预期能带来显著销量或巨额收入的产品。 苹果将于今年晚些时候发布首款折叠屏iPhone。苹果一直致力于消除内屏明显的折痕。 责任编辑:刘明亮

Ravitaliy/iStock via Getty Images Amid the chaotic headlines both domestic and abroad, the stock market continued to grind higher yesterday. Not even the haunting message that soaring gold and silver prices are supposedly sending could halt the uptrend. Meanwhile, the dollar fell to its lowest level since 2022, and energy prices rose, led by a surge in natural gas in response to the brutal cold weather that blanketed the country over the weekend. Market pundits are raising concerns about the parabolic moves in precious metals, as though the price increases reflect rising fears of currency debasement, inflation, and geopolitical instability, yet I have a different take. Finviz Gold prices ( GLD ) are clearly impacted by a weakening dollar and increased demand from central banks. The structural imbalance between supply and demand in the silver market warrants higher prices as well, but it appears to me that the surge in both in recent weeks is more a function of huge speculative retail investment flows by investors who have never owned the metals before. This is why silver ( SLV ) soared more than 14% yesterday in its biggest one-day move since the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 before plunging 12% into the close. These metals are no longer the safe havens they were before. Bloomberg I have always maintained exposure to both as core holdings in my all-weather investment strategy, but this is for the purpose of diversification into assets that were non-correlated with the stock market. They have now become meme stocks. Granted, silver is an industrial metal that is supply constrained and in high demand for use in solar panels, electric vehicles, and now AI data centers, but these trends have been in place for a long time. Did that demand suddenly surge 3x in three weeks? The only explanation for these recent moves is speculation, which I think will end badly for investors who are looking to jump on the bandwagon for a quick trade. If I had to guess, I think that meme ...
