Sit back, relax, and watch TV while your car drives you
New rules for fully self driving cars in the UK will let the driver watch something other than the road - TV! While there aren't any cars with this capability just yet, the UK government is preparing for it. Drivers will be able to watch TV on a screen managed by the vehicle.. if the vehicle needs them to take control, the TV will need to stop - much like a seat-back screen on a plane. Using a handheld device while driving will still be illegal. These new rules are ahead of a more detailed regulatory framework expected to be in effect in 2025.
The Unions are coming for Apple
An Apple Store in Atlanta is going to be the first in the country to attempt to be unionized. They've collected enough signatures to be able to file for an election. Organizers say workers there have been denied a living wage, cost of living adjustments or equitable stock options. I will say, as someone who worked in an Apple Store, the benefits for retail vs corporate employees were vastly different. They have worked to close that gap over the past decade.
