An Avride autonomous vehicle at the Nvidia booth during the Nvidia GTC (GPU Technology Conference) in Washington, DC, US, on Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025. Kent Nishimura | Bloomberg | Getty Images The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday it is opening an investigation into a series of crashes involving startup Avride's autonomous vehicles that raised questions about their performance. NHTSA said the vehicles' behavior may indicate excessive assertiveness and insufficient capability, which "may also constitute traffic safety violations." Some of the crashes resulted in property damage and one reported minor injury. NHTSA said the vehicles had executed lane changes into other vehicles and failed to avoid vehicles or objects in the road, resulting in crashes. NHTSA noted that Avride operates some of its AVs on Uber's platform and has offered passenger services in Dallas since December, where many of the incidents occurred. NHTSA cited 16 crashes of concern. Avride said it welcomes "the opportunity to provide the agency with a deeper understanding of our safety protocols and technology." It added that in all cases "the vehicle was under the supervision of a trained safety operator on board. In most cases, the vehicle was traveling at low speeds and many of the events were precipitated by the actions of other road users." The company said it has "implemented targeted technical and operational mitigations to address our findings from each reported incidents." Avride, which uses Hyundai's Ioniq 5 platform, said last month it has a fleet of 200 vehicles and is adding dozens more each month. NHTSA has opened several investigations into self-driving cars and advanced driver assistance systems in recent years. The agency said a preliminary review of crash videos showed instances of vehicles changing lanes into the path of others, failing to slow or stop for traffic ahead, and striking stationary objects partially blocking lanes. The investigation will assess ...

Closer Look Reveals April Jobs Report Was A Disaster, And AI Is Now Here To Take Your Job On the surface today's jobs report was very strong: headline payrolls came in nearly double the expected (115K vs 65K), with unemployment flat just so Trump's chief economist Kevin Hassett could push bullish taking points in today's TV circuit such as this one. *HASSETT: 'RIP-ROARING' JOBS MARKET Unfortunately, below the surface this was the ugliest jobs report in years, and one could say even more cooked than last month's laughable surge in jobs (which was revised from 178K to 185K). Here's why. First, while the Establishment survey showed an impressive 115K jump in jobs when virtually everyone was expecting a big drop, looking at the composition reveals two things: the biggest contributor was semi-government jobs from the Education and Health services category which added 46K, and has been the biggest, and only consistent source of jobs growth this decade. But even more remarkable was the surge in courier and messenger jobs, which soared by 38K in April, reversing the 52K drop last month. Was there a Doordash or Uber hiring binge that we missed last month? We thought they were mostly laying off their thousands of illegal alien workers... In other words, just two job categories accounted for almost all the job gains in April. As for the beating heart of the US economy, manufacturing jobs, they tumbled to -2,000 after surging 15,000 in March, the first negative print of 2026. Manufacturing jobs are now down 73K over the past year. Chemicals, Wood, and Machinery manufacturing are the biggest losers, but few subsectors are doing well But what is even more concerning, is that the entire base of the monthly print was put in doubt after the BLS reported that in April, the Birth/Death adjustment "added" 391K jobs, which as we have explained repeatedly are not actual jobs but a baseline for model assumptions what the number of jobs in a given month "should" be. One would think after a...

Orange juice futures surged in New York on an outlook for a weaker harvest of the fruit in Brazil, the world’s top exporter of the juice. The most-active orange juice contract rose as much as 5.8%, the biggest intraday jump in more than a week. Prices climbed by the exchange maximum of 10 cents, to $1.8320 per pound. Brazil is expected to harvest 255.2 million boxes of oranges in the upcoming 2026-27 season, a 13% decline compared with the past year, according to research group Fundecitrus. The predicted output will be roughly 15% below the average of the last decade, the group said Friday. Orange groves in Brazil’s main producing areas are still affected by the spread of a disease known as citrus greening. Fundecitrus also pointed to negative impacts of elevated temperatures last year that affected flowering, a crucial period that can determine how many fruits will later develop. The estimated average productivity is 697 boxes per hectare (2.5 acres), a 14% slump compared with the previous harvest. All varieties produced in Brazil showed a drop in yield. “The main factors affecting yields include the advance of citrus greening, the incidence of leprosis, the forecast of an El Niño event in the second half of 2026, and the trend towards a later harvest,” Fundecitrus said in a report. Read More: Florida Heads for Smallest Orange Crop in Nearly a Century Global orange juice markets have grappled with a significant decline in supplies due to citrus greening in Brazil and key grower Florida. While supplies have tightened significantly, shifting consumer habits and a slowdown in global demand have allowed futures to fall from a 2024 peak. Orange juice futures rose 5.8% to $1.8320 per pound as of 10:36 a.m. in New York Cotton rose 1.8% to 84.46 cents per pound Cocoa fell, and arabica coffee rose 0.5% to $2.7465 per pound

Siemens AG and other European tech companies have made headway on reshaping regulation for artificial intelligence in the European Union they say is putting them behind rivals in the US and China. The bloc, following broader lobbying efforts by industry, has now put forward a set of AI rules that differentiate between industrial and consumer applications on mitigating risks and ethically responsible development of the technology. Siemens Chief Executive Officer Roland Busch last month warned his company would shift AI investments elsewhere unless the rules are changed. “This is urgently needed to unlock the growth potential of industrial AI made in Europe,” said Sarah Bäumchen, managing director of the German Electrical and Digital Industry Association. Read More: Siemens Warns EU’s AI Rules Will Deter Investment in Europe The EU Council presidency and European Parliament negotiators reached a provisional agreement on Thursday to streamline certain rules governing artificial intelligence as part of the block’s AI Act. Engineering equipment makers, for example, are now excluded since they already have to comply with the EU Machinery Regulation, obliging them to assess and address risks associated with autonomous systems. Siemens, which is prioritizing development of AI applications for industrial processes, warned most of the company’s €1 billion ($1.2 billion) industrial AI investment would flow into the US unless the framework is changed. The company, Germany’s most valuable company, is rolling out a growing suite of products for factory controls, software and automation. Tech companies including ASML Holding NV and SAP SE last month met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen amid concerns from business that the bloc’s competitiveness drive is falling short. “The EU institutions appear to have sent the right positive signal for a pragmatic and innovation-friendly approach to AI in machinery,” said Hartmut Rauen, who heads VDMA, Germany’s mechanical...
