Lyft drivers don’t have to worry about being fully replaced by the company’s autonomous vehicles just yet. Company president John Zimmer told CNBC that Lyft intends to operate a hybrid network at first, with a fleet that’s largely comprised of non-autonomous cars. “[J]ust like what happened with phones, you didn’t have 3G go to 4G go to 5G on separate networks,” Zimmer explained.”You still needed to be able to make a 3G call when 4G wasn’t available.” And similar to when LTE was new and mobile users mostly had to connect to the internet via 3G, Lyft passengers will also…
(CNN) — Love them or loathe them, as the travel world re-opens, influencers are back on the move.

Changing rules to allow new no-confidence vote in PM within 12 months would be ‘grossly unfair’, says JavidGood morning. And sorry for the late start.Today we’ve got the first PMQs since the no-confidence vote on Boris Johnson. PMQs is often seen as a pointless pantomime, but it does function as a test of a leader’s authority with their parliamentary colleagues. Mostly it ends in a “draw” (Tory supporters think Johnson “won”, Labour supporters think the same about Keir Starmer), but sometimes a leader can put in a performance so memorable that it does shift preconceptions, at least a bit.

Still, I’ve lost much sleep following events in…
In protest of France’s content streaming rules, Disney has announced that its animated holiday film Strange World (aka Avalonia) will go straight to Disney+ and not appear in theaters in the country. It also gave a strong statement to Deadline decrying France’s so-called chronologie des medias rules. “Strange World will be available to all Disney+ subscribers in France, foregoing a French cinematic release. While we support French cinema — and have for decades — the new, cumbersome media chronology is anti-consumer, ignoring how behavior has evolved over the last several years and puts us at increased risk for piracy. We will…
