A Waymo robotaxi struck a child near an elementary school in Santa Monica on January 23, according to the company. Waymo told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that the child — whose age is not known — sustained minor injuries. The NHTSA has opened an investigation into the accident, and Waymo said in a blog post that it “will cooperate fully with them throughout the process.” Waymo said its robotaxi struck the child at 6 miles per hour, after braking “hard” from around 17 miles per hour. The young pedestrian “suddenly entered the roadway from behind a tall SUV, moving directly into our vehicle’s path,” the company said in its blog post. Waymo said its vehicle “immediately detected the individual as soon as they began to emerge from behind the stopped vehicle.” “Following contact, the pedestrian stood up immediately, walked to the sidewalk, and we called 911. The vehicle remained stopped, moved to the side of the road, and stayed there until law enforcement cleared the vehicle to leave the scene,” Waymo wrote in the post. News of the crash comes as Waymo faces dual investigations into its robotaxis illegally passing school buses. NHTSA opened a probe into the problem in October shortly after the first report of the incident in Atlanta, Georgia, and the National Transportation Safety Board opened its own investigation last week after around 20 incidents were reported in Austin, Texas. This story is developing…

Analysts across Wall Street raised their Meta price targets after the technology giant showed in its latest earnings report that improving AI-driven advertising monetization helped offset concerns around higher operating and capital expenditures. The "Magnificent Seven" titan delivered fourth-quarter earnings of $8.88 per share on revenue of $59.89 billion . Both those figures came in above LSEG estimates of $8.23 per share in earnings and $58.59 billion in revenue. Meta also issued strong current-quarter guidance, expecting first-quarter sales to fall in the range of $53.5 billion to $56.5 billion. Consensus forecasts had estimated $51.41 billion. One sore spot on Meta's earnings report was the $6.02 billion operating loss logged by its Reality Labs unit. Analysts had expected the business to record losses of $5.67 billion and sales of $940.8 million. Nonetheless, Wall Street analysts didn't seem overly concerned with the losses, as Meta has indicated a switch in focus away from its metaverse and virtual reality businesses and towards growing its artificial intelligence business. Earlier this month, the company laid off over 1,000 Reality Labs employees. UBS noted that stronger signals of AI benefits will appear in 2026 for the company, while Citi said that Meta's investments in AI are already delivering better results. "Although Meta's 2026E Expense and CapEx guidance came in above Street expectations, better-than-expected 1Q26 revenue guidance given engagement strength and AI Ranking & Recommendation model improvements underscore our view that Meta's investments in AI continue to deliver results," wrote Citi analyst Ronald Josey. Meta's AI investments already appear to be paying off when it comes to its advertising business. Analysts broadly applauded Meta's ad growth as a win, with Bank of America analyst Justin Post highlighting that multiple AI models are driving usage and ad efficiencies. Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik said called Meta ads a "rare win-win-win...
