His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The correlation \"is basically missing, from a scientific point of view.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sejdic and Star have figured out how to set a threshold on their device to detect only a certain amount of THC, which they say will help avoid flagging cannabis use from several days prior.

Make that translation from breath to blood to brain, and you can get a relatively accurate sense of how drunk someone is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So when it comes to these marijuana breath tests, that's the million-dollar question right now,\" says Chris Halsor, a Denver lawyer who focuses on issues around legal cannabis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is there a ratio that links the amount of THC in someone's breath to the amount in the person's blood — and then to exactly how stoned that person is?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, says Sejdic. The correlation \"is basically missing, from a scientific point of view.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sejdic and Star have figured out how to set a threshold on their device to detect only a certain amount of THC, which they say will help avoid flagging cannabis use from several days prior.

However, none of the UC campuses and only some of the CSU campuses get reimbursed for health services through Medi-Cal. University officials testified during legislative hearings on the bill last year that it could be an administrative or fiscal burden to establish billing systems to provide the abortion pill on campus. They predicted that some clinical costs, as well as security and liability costs, could fall directly to the universities and get passed on to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up to 519 women at public universities seek a medication abortion every month in California, according to\u003ca href=\"https://www.jahonline.org/article/S1054-139X(18)30185-X/fulltext\"> a study\u003c/a> published last summer in the Journal of Adolescent Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same research found that off-campus abortion providers were an average of six miles away from public university campuses in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Gov.

This is a way to say, ‘No. Here, in blue California, we’re going to affirm or expand [the right to an abortion],’ ” Reynosa says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s supporters don’t deny it. Phoebe Abramowitz was part of the student team that launched the campus campaign for medication abortions at UC Berkeley four years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that we’re doing statewide advocacy, we’re hoping to set a national precedent that we can, even in these really hostile times to women and queer people, move access to abortion forward,” she says. “It’s more important now than it even was a year ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Brown vetoed the bill last year, then-gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom said he\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Gavin-Newsom-splits-with-Jerry-Brown-on-SF-drug-13275997.php\"> would have supported\u003c/a> it. He won the election about a month later, and advocates are optimistic that he will side with them this time around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Legislature has until mid-September to pass the bill, and the governor has a month after that to sign or veto it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of NPR’s reporting partnership with KQED and \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/\">\u003cem>Kaiser Health News\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

However, none of the UC campuses and only some of the CSU campuses get reimbursed for health services through Medi-Cal. University officials testified during legislative hearings on the bill last year that it could be an administrative or fiscal burden to establish billing systems to provide the abortion pill on campus. They predicted that some clinical costs, as well as security and liability costs, could fall directly to the universities and get passed on to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up to 519 women at public universities seek a medication abortion every month in California, according to\u003ca href=\"https://www.jahonline.org/article/S1054-139X(18)30185-X/fulltext\"> a study\u003c/a> published last summer in the Journal of Adolescent Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same research found that off-campus abortion providers were an average of six miles away from public university campuses in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Gov. Jerry Brown cited this stat when \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB320\">he vetoed\u003c/a> a version of the same bill (\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB320\">SB 320\u003c/a>) last year, saying the legislation was not necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Six miles away — that’s like a $5 Uber ride,” said abortion opponent Nick Reynosa, the Northern California regional coordinator for Students for Life of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the campaign is more about politics than need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the last decade, many pro-choice activists feel that in red states, there’s been a lot of momentum toward more abortion restrictions. This is a way to say, ‘No. Here, in blue California, we’re going to affirm or expand [the right to an abortion],’ ” Reynosa says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s supporters don’t deny it. Phoebe Abramowitz was part of the student team that launched the campus campaign for medication abortions at UC Berkeley four years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that we’re doing statewide advocacy, we’re hoping to set a national precedent that we can, even in these really hostile times to women and queer people, move access to abortion forward,” she says. “It’s more important now than it even was a year ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Brown vetoed the bill last year, then-gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom said he\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Gavin-Newsom-splits-with-Jerry-Brown-on-SF-drug-13275997.php\"> would have supported\u003c/a> it. He won the election about a month later, and advocates are optimistic that he will side with them this time around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Legislature has until mid-September to pass the bill, and the governor has a month after that to sign or veto it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of NPR’s reporting partnership with KQED and \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/\">\u003cem>Kaiser Health News\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Fourteen women who were allegedly assaulted by their Lyft drivers sued the San Francisco-based ride-service company Wednesday. They allege Lyft is acting negligently by not doing enough to prevent assaults by its drivers and not cooperating with law enforcement. The lawsuit argues Lyft does this because it has a financial incentive to recruit as many drivers as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They knew about this issue but they've done nothing about it,\" said attorney Steve Estey, who represents the 14 women. \"Instead you'll see they're focusing on increasing their market share, which just exposes more women to being sexually assaulted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the lawsuit, attorneys uncovered 100 cases of reported sexual assault by Lyft drivers in California over a one-year period between 2015 and 2016. Estey added that his law firm is pursuing a separate potential lawsuit against Uber with similar allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Mary Winfield, Lyft's head of Trust and Safety\"]\"As a platform committed to providing safe transportation, we hold ourselves to a higher standard by designing products and policies to keep out bad actors, make riders and drivers feel safe, and react quickly if and when an incident does occur.\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit claims that Lyft allows people who have convictions or pending complaints of sexual assault to continue driving for the platform, does not performs adequate background checks on its drivers, and does not have an appropriate or transparent internal reporting process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This lawsuit is a little bit different than the others that have been filed against Lyft,\" Estey said, \"because not only does it allege that Lyft failed to take precautions to protect its passengers, it also alleges that the app that the people use is defective. And that the app actually enables these drivers to rape and sexual assault.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft, however, says safety is fundamental to the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What the victims describe is terrifying and has no place in the Lyft community. One in six women will face some form of sexual violence in their lives — behavior that’s unacceptable for our society and on our platform,\" said Mary Winfield, Lyft's head of Trust and Safety, in a statement. \"As a platform committed to providing safe transportation, we hold ourselves to a higher standard by designing products and policies to keep out bad actors, make riders and drivers feel safe, and react quickly if and when an incident does occur.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Safety Measures in the App\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit argues that Lyft should have made changes to the app to prevent assaults, like requiring the camera to remain on during the whole drive and implementing an alert system if the driver goes off course, or a panic button the rider could hit to alert the company of any misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, Lyft announced new initiatives that focus on increasing riders' safety, which include an in-app panic button that calls 911 directly. The company also enlarged drivers' license plate numbers in the app to prevent passengers from entering the wrong vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft now requires passengers to leave feedback whenever they give a driver a rating below four stars, and anonymously relays this information to the driver. Drivers and riders will also have the option to partake in sexual harassment prevention training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our commitment is stronger than ever, as we dedicate more resources in our continued effort to ensure our riders and drivers have the safest possible experience,\" Winfield stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Estey argues there are more safety precautions Lyft should be taking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"left\" citation=\"Gladys, who alleges she was assaulted by her Lyft driver in 2018 in Los Angeles\"]\"This is terrifying. I don't want this to happen to anybody else. Lyft needs to change this.\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They could have installed cameras in these cars which would protect not only the passengers but also the drivers,\" Estey said. \"They chose not to. They could have designed the app to send a safety alert when a ride is taking way too long or the driver deviates from the route. They chose not to.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gladys, who declined to give her last name, alleges she was assaulted by her Lyft driver in 2018 in Los Angeles. She said he turned off the app a mile away from her home and drove her around for five hours in his locked car before taking her to a beach and raping her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Video of a ride would have shown my driver grabbing my phone away from me and climbing into the backseat,\" Gladys said. \"Better GPS tracking could have protected me and helped ensure that my Lyft driver stayed on course. ... I was held hostage for five hours and Lyft did not even know what my life was in danger.\u003ci>\"\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gladys said she reported the assault to the police. But because there was no recording of the assault and no witnesses, Gladys said investigators told her they couldn't prove it wasn't consensual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is terrifying,\" Gladys said. \"I don't want this to happen to anybody else.

She reported the incident to police and to Lyft, and said Lyft told her they would investigate the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lyft never returned my calls and sent me four emails in a span of nine months, one of which was an automated response,\" Kim said. \"I had no clue something like this could happen and that Lyft's response would be so unsupportive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit says the driver was convicted of battery, and that Lyft told Kim that they could not confirm whether he was still driving for the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Safety needs to be a priority,\" Kim said. \"Safety over money, safety over publicity, safety over marketing ... and there's simple changes that can be made.\u003ci>\"\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit also alleges that Lyft is uncooperative with law enforcement by not reporting assaults to the police and by refusing to turn over information about the driver to authorities unless compelled by a subpoena.

They allege Lyft is acting negligently by not doing enough to prevent assaults by its drivers and not cooperating with law enforcement. The lawsuit argues Lyft does this because it has a financial incentive to recruit as many drivers as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They knew about this issue but they've done nothing about it,\" said attorney Steve Estey, who represents the 14 women. \"Instead you'll see they're focusing on increasing their market share, which just exposes more women to being sexually assaulted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the lawsuit, attorneys uncovered 100 cases of reported sexual assault by Lyft drivers in California over a one-year period between 2015 and 2016. Estey added that his law firm is pursuing a separate potential lawsuit against Uber with similar allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And that the app actually enables these drivers to rape and sexual assault.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft, however, says safety is fundamental to the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What the victims describe is terrifying and has no place in the Lyft community. One in six women will face some form of sexual violence in their lives — behavior that’s unacceptable for our society and on our platform,\" said Mary Winfield, Lyft's head of Trust and Safety, in a statement. \"As a platform committed to providing safe transportation, we hold ourselves to a higher standard by designing products and policies to keep out bad actors, make riders and drivers feel safe, and react quickly if and when an incident does occur.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Safety Measures in the App\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit argues that Lyft should have made changes to the app to prevent assaults, like requiring the camera to remain on during the whole drive and implementing an alert system if the driver goes off course, or a panic button the rider could hit to alert the company of any misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, Lyft announced new initiatives that focus on increasing riders' safety, which include an in-app panic button that calls 911 directly. The company also enlarged drivers' license plate numbers in the app to prevent passengers from entering the wrong vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft now requires passengers to leave feedback whenever they give a driver a rating below four stars, and anonymously relays this information to the driver. Drivers and riders will also have the option to partake in sexual harassment prevention training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our commitment is stronger than ever, as we dedicate more resources in our continued effort to ensure our riders and drivers have the safest possible experience,\" Winfield stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Estey argues there are more safety precautions Lyft should be taking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Levandowski and the company say the vehicle made the entire trip “without any human intervention,” save for refueling and rest breaks. The trip, \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/pronto-ai/pronto-means-ready-e885bc8ec9e9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Levandowski explained\u003c/a>, was part of realizing “my life’s passion to make the life-saving potential of autonomous vehicles a reality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pronto, which like Levandowski’s Otto is marketing a self-driving system for the trucking industry, published \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/306969319\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a time-lapse video\u003c/a> of the trip. After downloading it and watching it frame by frame, a few interesting patterns emerge:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Pronto system, or at least the version used for Levandowski’s drive, has a lead foot.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Levandowski sets out across the Golden Gate Bridge, which has a highly publicized 45 mph speed limit due to a history of deadly crashes, his vehicle quickly accelerates to 55 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alan Dunton, a Pronto spokesman, said in an email last week “the vehicle’s speed was set by the system and was based on the surrounding traffic flow and posted speed limit, among other things using Pronto’s proprietary technology.”On the Golden Gate Bridge, he said in essence, that by exceeding the speed limit by 10 mph, the car’s software was just keeping up with faster traffic and trying to stay safe and legal. Dunton points out the video shows Levandowski’s Prius is passed repeatedly by faster traffic in the three northbound lanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they were going 10 mph slower, they would have impeded traffic, which is against California’s basic speed law,” Dunton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does that argument hold water with the California Highway Patrol, responsible for enforcing the speed limit on the bridge?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No. Absolutely not,” said CHP Officer Andrew Barclay, with the CHP’s Marin County unit. “They could be pulled over for speeding at that point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barclay said the state’s “\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH§ionNum=22350\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">basic speed law\u003c/a>” — “no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property” — would not apply in the situation Dunton described.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dunton didn’t address the numerous other occasions the Prius is seen speeding as it crossed the country, except to say “they generally drove with the flow of traffic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pronto — Italian for “road boulder”?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company’s video shows Levandowski and his Prius hanging out in the left lane, aka the “fast” lane, for inordinately long stretches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, at mile 151 of the trip, on Interstate 80 near the Sierra foothills town of Colfax, the vehicle takes to the left lane. And stays there. And stays there. And stays there. All the way across the mountains, through Reno and well beyond, even as faster vehicles pass on the right. The car finally returns to the right lane just east of the town of Fernley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about why the Pronto system didn’t return the vehicle to the right lane to allow passing, as courtesy and the vehicle code would dictate, spokesman Dunton explained that the software was set to avoid possible conflicts with traffic entering the roadway from the right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the purposes of this early demo, (the team) wanted to maximize the chances of achieving this amazing milestone and therefore decided to have the car drive in left lane for a significant portion of the trip to reduce the number of merges with traffic,” Dunton said.Why reduce the number of merges? Read on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Houston, we have a problem. With merging.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last December, after announcing Pronto’s successful cross-country road trip, Levandowski took The Guardian’s Mark Harris for \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/dec/18/controversial-engineer-i-travelled-over-3000-miles-in-a-self-driving-car\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a 48-mile ride-along\u003c/a>. Harris said the system performed “safely and competently,” though Levandowski was forced to take control of the self-driving Prius at one point because it “failed to merge into busy traffic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What can go wrong in a merge?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pronto video, brief as it is, shows one harrowing example, a little more than 40 minutes into the trip, as Levandowski and his Prius attempt to merge onto eastbound Interstate 80 off of Highway 37 in Vallejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Prius heads up the ramp – and up a moderately steep grade where entering vehicles are required to merge left as the number of freeway lanes is reduced gradually from six to four – the vehicle briefly accelerates to 72 mph. However, the Prius remains in the far right lane to the point where it ends and the vehicle is forced to move to the left. By that time, the vehicle is rapidly overtaking a much-slower-moving dump truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One imagines this was an “oh, shit” moment for Levandowski, who was at the outset of a 3,100-mile trip in which he hoped not to touch the vehicle’s controls except when he needed to gas up, pee or sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the car did, apparently with no input from him, was brake dramatically on the freeway – slowing to just 17 mph, according to the video – to avoid rear-ending the truck. The video doesn’t show whether there was traffic immediately behind the Prius or whether other vehicles were also required to slow down. Eventually, the merge was completed and the Prius went on its way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]B[/dropcap]eyond depicting the apparently successful road trip, the Pronto video carries another message that may be relevant to Levandowski’s current situation and his attitude toward it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The message comes in the video’s sonorous voiceover. An unidentified, uncredited voice intones words identified at the end only as “poetry by Charles Bukowski.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/306969319\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the audio of the reading is borrowed from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/SpokenVerse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom O’Bedlam\u003c/a>, a sort of YouTube \u003ca href=\"https://www.rogerebert.com/rogers-journal/youtube-and-the-cinnamon-peeler\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cult figure\u003c/a> known for his taste in verse and his memorable reading style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “poetry by Charles Bukowski” is a mash-up of two well-known pieces, “\u003ca href=\"https://thebestamericanpoetry.typepad.com/the_best_american_poetry/2008/11/the-laughing-he.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Laughing Heart\u003c/a>” and “\u003ca href=\"https://wordsfortheyear.com/2014/04/08/roll-the-dice/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roll the Dice\u003c/a>,” by the late Los Angeles poet. Both poems speak of the necessity of seizing the day and making one’s life count for something. The latter piece, too, talks about pursuing dreams regardless of the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re guessing the poetry was chosen and hacked together because of the line “if you’re going to try, go all the way” — you know, like the Prius in the video as it completes its cross-country ramble in the unromantic morass of a morning commute into New York City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the lines that get your attention, read in funereal tones over video images of Levandowski’s vehicle racing across the United States in frantically sped-up motion, are a little farther down:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“… go all the way.\u003cbr>\nthis could mean losing girlfriends,\u003cbr>\nwives, relatives, jobs and\u003cbr>\nmaybe your mind.\u003cbr>\ngo all the way.\u003cbr>\nit could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.\u003cbr>\nit could mean freezing on a\u003cbr>\npark bench.\u003cbr>\nit could mean jail,\u003cbr>\nit could mean derision,\u003cbr>\nmockery,\u003cbr>\nisolation. …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Really?

Dunton points out the video shows Levandowski’s Prius is passed repeatedly by faster traffic in the three northbound lanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they were going 10 mph slower, they would have impeded traffic, which is against California’s basic speed law,” Dunton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does that argument hold water with the California Highway Patrol, responsible for enforcing the speed limit on the bridge?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No. Absolutely not,” said CHP Officer Andrew Barclay, with the CHP’s Marin County unit. “They could be pulled over for speeding at that point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barclay said the state’s “\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH§ionNum=22350\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">basic speed law\u003c/a>” — “no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property” — would not apply in the situation Dunton described.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dunton didn’t address the numerous other occasions the Prius is seen speeding as it crossed the country, except to say “they generally drove with the flow of traffic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pronto — Italian for “road boulder”?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company’s video shows Levandowski and his Prius hanging out in the left lane, aka the “fast” lane, for inordinately long stretches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, at mile 151 of the trip, on Interstate 80 near the Sierra foothills town of Colfax, the vehicle takes to the left lane. And stays there. And stays there. And stays there. All the way across the mountains, through Reno and well beyond, even as faster vehicles pass on the right. The car finally returns to the right lane just east of the town of Fernley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about why the Pronto system didn’t return the vehicle to the right lane to allow passing, as courtesy and the vehicle code would dictate, spokesman Dunton explained that the software was set to avoid possible conflicts with traffic entering the roadway from the right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the purposes of this early demo, (the team) wanted to maximize the chances of achieving this amazing milestone and therefore decided to have the car drive in left lane for a significant portion of the trip to reduce the number of merges with traffic,” Dunton said.Why reduce the number of merges? Read on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Houston, we have a problem. With merging.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last December, after announcing Pronto’s successful cross-country road trip, Levandowski took The Guardian’s Mark Harris for \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/dec/18/controversial-engineer-i-travelled-over-3000-miles-in-a-self-driving-car\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a 48-mile ride-along\u003c/a>. Harris said the system performed “safely and competently,” though Levandowski was forced to take control of the self-driving Prius at one point because it “failed to merge into busy traffic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What can go wrong in a merge?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pronto video, brief as it is, shows one harrowing example, a little more than 40 minutes into the trip, as Levandowski and his Prius attempt to merge onto eastbound Interstate 80 off of Highway 37 in Vallejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Prius heads up the ramp – and up a moderately steep grade where entering vehicles are required to merge left as the number of freeway lanes is reduced gradually from six to four – the vehicle briefly accelerates to 72 mph. However, the Prius remains in the far right lane to the point where it ends and the vehicle is forced to move to the left. By that time, the vehicle is rapidly overtaking a much-slower-moving dump truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One imagines this was an “oh, shit” moment for Levandowski, who was at the outset of a 3,100-mile trip in which he hoped not to touch the vehicle’s controls except when he needed to gas up, pee or sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the car did, apparently with no input from him, was brake dramatically on the freeway – slowing to just 17 mph, according to the video – to avoid rear-ending the truck. The video doesn’t show whether there was traffic immediately behind the Prius or whether other vehicles were also required to slow down. Eventually, the merge was completed and the Prius went on its way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">B\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>eyond depicting the apparently successful road trip, the Pronto video carries another message that may be relevant to Levandowski’s current situation and his attitude toward it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The message comes in the video’s sonorous voiceover. An unidentified, uncredited voice intones words identified at the end only as “poetry by Charles Bukowski.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/306969319\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the audio of the reading is borrowed from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/SpokenVerse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom O’Bedlam\u003c/a>, a sort of YouTube \u003ca href=\"https://www.rogerebert.com/rogers-journal/youtube-and-the-cinnamon-peeler\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cult figure\u003c/a> known for his taste in verse and his memorable reading style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “poetry by Charles Bukowski” is a mash-up of two well-known pieces, “\u003ca href=\"https://thebestamericanpoetry.typepad.com/the_best_american_poetry/2008/11/the-laughing-he.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Laughing Heart\u003c/a>” and “\u003ca href=\"https://wordsfortheyear.com/2014/04/08/roll-the-dice/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roll the Dice\u003c/a>,” by the late Los Angeles poet. Both poems speak of the necessity of seizing the day and making one’s life count for something. The latter piece, too, talks about pursuing dreams regardless of the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re guessing the poetry was chosen and hacked together because of the line “if you’re going to try, go all the way” — you know, like the Prius in the video as it completes its cross-country ramble in the unromantic morass of a morning commute into New York City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the lines that get your attention, read in funereal tones over video images of Levandowski’s vehicle racing across the United States in frantically sped-up motion, are a little farther down:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“… go all the way.\u003cbr>\nthis could mean losing girlfriends,\u003cbr>\nwives, relatives, jobs and\u003cbr>\nmaybe your mind.\u003cbr>\ngo all the way.\u003cbr>\nit could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.\u003cbr>\nit could mean freezing on a\u003cbr>\npark bench.\u003cbr>\nit could mean jail,\u003cbr>\nit could mean derision,\u003cbr>\nmockery,\u003cbr>\nisolation. …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Really?

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco has reached a tentative settlement in a federal class-action lawsuit that provides an alternative to the city's prearraignment cash bail system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"City Attorney Dennis Herrera\"]\"Justice is better served when decisions are based on the facts, not on the size of someone’s bank account.\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled in\u003ca href=\"https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/bail-ruling.pdf\"> March\u003c/a> that San Francisco's bail system deprives low-income defendants of their constitutional right to freedom before appearing in court. She found, as other courts have, that reliance on cash bail creates an unconstitutional inequality between affluent and poor arrestees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who can afford to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to guarantee they'll show up in court are released within 12 hours on average in San Francisco, according to court filings, but those who can't afford to pay may end up waiting in jail for several days before a judge decides whether they can be released pending trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Justice is better served when decisions are based on the facts, not on the size of someone’s bank account,\" said San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera in a statement. \"Our proposal safeguards civil liberties by ensuring low-level cases are assessed quickly, and it protects public safety by guaranteeing no one accused of a serious or violent crime is released without judicial review.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State legislation to eliminate bail entirely — and replace it with a system that gives judges far more discretion — was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11689184/gov-brown-signs-bill-ending-cash-bail-in-california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">signed\u003c/a> last year by then-Gov. Jerry Brown but hasn't yet taken effect. That's because the bail industry collected enough signatures to place a referendum on the November 2020 ballot, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11707702/referendum-to-block-bail-law-appears-headed-for-ballot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">asking\u003c/a> voters to overturn the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10738577/class-action-suit-against-san-francisco-seeks-to-end-use-of-cash-bail-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">original lawsuit\u003c/a> challenging San Francisco's bail system was brought in 2015 by Riana Buffin and Crystal Patterson, who were arrested separately in the city. Their time in jail came at a high cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patterson was jailed for more than 24 hours on charges of assault, then promised to pay $15,000 plus interest to a bail agent so she could be released. Buffin spent almost two full days in jail on a charge of grand theft because she couldn't afford bail and lost her $10.25 an hour job at Oakland's airport as a result. Prosecutors dropped charges against both women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez Rogers was expected to issue a ruling on Aug. 23 on how the city should replace prearraignment cash bail. Instead, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11769187/how-should-san-francisco-replace-cash-bail-judge-to-rule-friday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">she asked\u003c/a> the parties to brief her on what they believe San Francisco should do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"bail\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the proposed settlement filed Friday evening, instead of imposing pre-determined bail amounts, the Sheriff's department would perform a public safety assessment on prearraignment detainees within eight hours of a person’s identity being confirmed in the jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court would review that assessment and make a decision on whether to release detainees on their own recognizance or keep them in custody. If no decision has been made within 18 hours of the person's identity being confirmed in jail, the recommendation from the public safety assessment would determine if the person is released. During those 18 hours, a law enforcement officer could extend the time frame by 12 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is something that will protect public safety while protecting the rights of the individuals that are charged with crimes,\" said San Francisco Sheriff Vicki Hennessy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to make the agreement possible, the Sheriff's department needs to expand its program that performs public safety assessments of prearraignment defendants to operate 24/7. It's not clear yet how much that would cost, but the settlement requires the Sheriff to try to get the Board of Supervisors to approve additional funding for the program within 90 days. If that doesn't happen, the settlement would be scrapped and the judge would rule on how to replace the prearraignment cash bail system, unless the parties both ask the judge to extend the timeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harmeet Dhillon, lead attorney for the California Bail Agents Association which defended San Francisco's cash bail system in the original lawsuit, argues this agreement would actually take away rights from some defendants. She points to the fact that the San Francisco Superior Court hasn't agreed to hear the cases outside its normal business hours and law enforcement can extend the time frame that a public safety determination must be made in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\"The proposed elimination of bail and this imposition of this bureaucratic regime is actually a reduction in liberty for many arrestees,\" Dhillon said. \"Without the court signing off that they're going to find judges to be around the clock hearing and ruling on these pretrial release recommendations people will be staying longer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for the San Francisco Superior Court said the court did not have a comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhillon added she expects the settlement, if enacted, to be challenged in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rules would not apply to people accused of serious or violent felonies. Lawyers for the two women who brought the lawsuit have asked Gonzalez Rogers to rule on whether people charged with serious or violent felonies would be eligible for prearraignment judicial review. The city is not taking a position on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After five years of litigation, we are relieved to see San Francisco's unequal bail system ending,\" said Executive Director of \u003ca href=\"https://equaljusticeunderlaw.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Equal Justice Under Law\u003c/a>, Phil Telfeyan, in a statement. The non-profit organization, which advocates for criminal system equality, helped bring the lawsuit against the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We hope that other cities and states will soon follow,\" Telfeyan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement needs approval by the federal court and the city's Board of Supervisors. It would go into effect 90 days after the Board of Supervisors provides funding for the Sheriff's Department to do more public safety assessments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read the proposed settlement below.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6370935-SF-Bail-Settlement.html\" responsive=true]\u003c/p>\n\n",

Buffin spent almost two full days in jail on a charge of grand theft because she couldn't afford bail and lost her $10.25 an hour job at Oakland's airport as a result. Prosecutors dropped charges against both women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez Rogers was expected to issue a ruling on Aug. 23 on how the city should replace prearraignment cash bail.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the proposed settlement filed Friday evening, instead of imposing pre-determined bail amounts, the Sheriff's department would perform a public safety assessment on prearraignment detainees within eight hours of a person’s identity being confirmed in the jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court would review that assessment and make a decision on whether to release detainees on their own recognizance or keep them in custody. If no decision has been made within 18 hours of the person's identity being confirmed in jail, the recommendation from the public safety assessment would determine if the person is released. During those 18 hours, a law enforcement officer could extend the time frame by 12 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is something that will protect public safety while protecting the rights of the individuals that are charged with crimes,\" said San Francisco Sheriff Vicki Hennessy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to make the agreement possible, the Sheriff's department needs to expand its program that performs public safety assessments of prearraignment defendants to operate 24/7. It's not clear yet how much that would cost, but the settlement requires the Sheriff to try to get the Board of Supervisors to approve additional funding for the program within 90 days. If that doesn't happen, the settlement would be scrapped and the judge would rule on how to replace the prearraignment cash bail system, unless the parties both ask the judge to extend the timeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harmeet Dhillon, lead attorney for the California Bail Agents Association which defended San Francisco's cash bail system in the original lawsuit, argues this agreement would actually take away rights from some defendants. She points to the fact that the San Francisco Superior Court hasn't agreed to hear the cases outside its normal business hours and law enforcement can extend the time frame that a public safety determination must be made in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\"The proposed elimination of bail and this imposition of this bureaucratic regime is actually a reduction in liberty for many arrestees,\" Dhillon said. \"Without the court signing off that they're going to find judges to be around the clock hearing and ruling on these pretrial release recommendations people will be staying longer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for the San Francisco Superior Court said the court did not have a comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhillon added she expects the settlement, if enacted, to be challenged in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rules would not apply to people accused of serious or violent felonies. Lawyers for the two women who brought the lawsuit have asked Gonzalez Rogers to rule on whether people charged with serious or violent felonies would be eligible for prearraignment judicial review. The city is not taking a position on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After five years of litigation, we are relieved to see San Francisco's unequal bail system ending,\" said Executive Director of \u003ca href=\"https://equaljusticeunderlaw.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Equal Justice Under Law\u003c/a>, Phil Telfeyan, in a statement. The non-profit organization, which advocates for criminal system equality, helped bring the lawsuit against the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We hope that other cities and states will soon follow,\" Telfeyan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement needs approval by the federal court and the city's Board of Supervisors. It would go into effect 90 days after the Board of Supervisors provides funding for the Sheriff's Department to do more public safety assessments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read the proposed settlement below.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
