• L.A. now has more driverless cars, involved in more crashes. A look at the data (latimes.com subscription) — Culver City recently approved rules governing where robotaxi fleets can be charged, stored, and cleaned, as driverless cars expand across Los Angeles County. New data show Waymo crashes rising in number but generally minor, while experts debate whether autonomous vehicles are truly safer than human drivers and how much local control cities should have over their deployment.
• Underreported sales may cost bottle bill states up to 40% (resource-recycling.com) — A Culver City–based nonprofit, the Container Recycling Institute, warns that underreported beverage sales may be quietly draining hundreds of millions of dollars from bottle-deposit programs nationwide.
