San Diego City Council passes resolution to regulate Waymo and autonomous vehicles<\/a><\/p>\n

By Tha\u00efs Giraudet| Times of San Diego<\/p>\n

San Diego City Council took the first step in trying to regulate Waymo and other autonomous vehicle companies in San Diego.<\/p>\n

In a unanimous 8-0 decision on Monday, Sept. 14, council members passed a resolution to request local control in the deployment of artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles.<\/p>\n

The resolution comes after the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) permitted Waymo to officially launch in San Diego on Sept. 1, without the city having a say in how the autonomous vehicle companies can operate.<\/p>\n

California math scores are far below grade level. This screener will test students\u2019 skills early<\/a><\/p>\n

by Carolyn Jones| CalMatters<\/p>\n

California schools will test all kindergartners, first- and second-graders in basic math skills and provide them tutoring if they need it, under a bill on Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n

The legislation, sponsored by Sen.\u00a0Akilah Weber Pierson<\/a>, a Democrat from San Diego, is expected to\u00a0boost California\u2019s math scores<\/a>, which are significantly\u00a0below the national average<\/a>. Last year, only 37% of students in California met grade-level math standards, an increase from the previous year but still well below the pre-pandemic level.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bill will help more kids so they don\u2019t get stuck at the starting line in math,\u201d said Marshall Tuck, chief executive officer of EdVoice, a nonprofit advocacy group that\u2019s among the bill\u2019s sponsors. \u201cThere\u2019s still a lot more to do, but this is an important step.\u201d<\/p>\n

FALL 2026 ECONOMIC OUTLOOK ENERGY IN THE AGE OF AI AND WAR<\/a><\/p>\n

by UCLA Anderson Forecast<\/p>\n

The Fall 2026 UCLA Anderson Forecast Economic Outlook, held in collaboration with the UCLA Center for Impact, will analyze the economic outlook amid immense pressure on global energy prices. The economy faces a dual energy challenge: a severe global oil shock triggered by the war in Iran is driving up immediate fuel costs, while the rapid expansion of AI datacenters is straining the domestic electricity grid. Together, these forces are creating a complex inflationary landscape that complicates the Federal Reserve\u2019s next moves and tests the resilience of the U.S. economic transition.<\/p>\n

The California session will focus on how the state is navigating these compounding energy struggles. Due to its unique low-emission fuel standards and logistics hub status, California is vulnerable to the high fuel costs stemming from the Middle East conflict. At the same time, as a global hub for AI innovation, the state must find ways to meet the surging power demands of digital infrastructure without compromising its strict climate targets. Our experts will examine whether California\u2019s bifurcated economy can overcome these combined energy pressures, or if stagnant employment and high living costs will persist into 2027.<\/p>\n
