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.",

Ricardo Lara, D-Long Beach, aims to give working-class Californians the same access to carpool lanes as that enjoyed by wealthier residents who can buy pricy new electric cars or other clean-air vehicles. SB 957 would do that by allowing lower-income drivers (those in households earning 80% or less of the state's $71,228 median household income) to get carpool lane stickers when they buy used (and presumably less expensive) clean-air vehicles whose original stickers have expired. Lara argued that the special stickers, which will expire Jan. 1, 2024, are especially important because low-income Californians are driving much longer distances to their jobs because of the lack of affordable housing where they work. The \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB957\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bill passed\u003c/a> the Senate 32-4 and the Assembly 53-18.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB485\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SB 485\u003c/a>, Repealing license penalties for non-driving offenses\u003c/strong>: The new law ends the practice of suspending or restricting drivers' licenses for some criminal offenses that don't involve driving. For instance: prostitution, vandalism or owing the state $100,000 or more in unpaid taxes. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose, questioned whether those provisions have been successful in deterring crime. He also contended that taking away the privilege to drive for non-driving offenses strips people of an essential means of getting to work or school and is thus overly punitive and counterproductive. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB485\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The bill passed\u003c/a> the Senate 29-10 and the Assembly 52-24.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1810\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AB 1810\u003c/a>, Pot party buses\u003c/strong>: The bill, comprised of a diverse set of measures originating in the Assembly Transportation Committee, includes a provision that makes it illegal to smoke marijuana while riding on a party bus. The concern: that bus drivers exposed to choking clouds of pot smoke might get high themselves. An alternative proposal, which would require vehicles used for cannabis tourism to have some sort of enclosed, smoke-free driver's compartment, is on hold.

That has become an issue in recent years as the DMV — which for years has been criticized for \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-DMV-disaster-caused-by-reactive-13721839.php#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inefficiency\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/03/29/editorial-dmv-audit-provides-shocking-examples-of-dysfunction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dysfunction\u003c/a> — floundered in responding to the demand for new, federally compliant drivers' licenses (aka REAL IDs). Into that customer-service breach stepped Oakland-based \u003ca href=\"https://yogov.org/dmv-express/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yogov\u003c/a>, a startup that, for about $25, \u003ca href=\"https://yogov.org/dmv-express/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">promises to expedite\u003c/a> the process of finding DMV appointment times in the not-too-distant future.

Ricardo Lara, D-Long Beach, aims to give working-class Californians the same access to carpool lanes as that enjoyed by wealthier residents who can buy pricy new electric cars or other clean-air vehicles. SB 957 would do that by allowing lower-income drivers (those in households earning 80% or less of the state's $71,228 median household income) to get carpool lane stickers when they buy used (and presumably less expensive) clean-air vehicles whose original stickers have expired. Lara argued that the special stickers, which will expire Jan. 1, 2024, are especially important because low-income Californians are driving much longer distances to their jobs because of the lack of affordable housing where they work. The \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB957\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bill passed\u003c/a> the Senate 32-4 and the Assembly 53-18.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB485\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SB 485\u003c/a>, Repealing license penalties for non-driving offenses\u003c/strong>: The new law ends the practice of suspending or restricting drivers' licenses for some criminal offenses that don't involve driving. For instance: prostitution, vandalism or owing the state $100,000 or more in unpaid taxes. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose, questioned whether those provisions have been successful in deterring crime. He also contended that taking away the privilege to drive for non-driving offenses strips people of an essential means of getting to work or school and is thus overly punitive and counterproductive. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB485\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The bill passed\u003c/a> the Senate 29-10 and the Assembly 52-24.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1810\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AB 1810\u003c/a>, Pot party buses\u003c/strong>: The bill, comprised of a diverse set of measures originating in the Assembly Transportation Committee, includes a provision that makes it illegal to smoke marijuana while riding on a party bus. The concern: that bus drivers exposed to choking clouds of pot smoke might get high themselves. An alternative proposal, which would require vehicles used for cannabis tourism to have some sort of enclosed, smoke-free driver's compartment, is on hold.

A bill analysis notes \u003ca href=\"https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cfoi.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">federal statistics\u003c/a> showing that refuse and recyclable material collectors have the fifth-highest rate of fatalities among U.S. occupations, more than 40 per 100,000 workers.

"content": "\u003cp>Earlier this year, the California Legislature passed, and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed, a bill that could, one day, make it legal to salvage and consume roadkill deer, elk, pronghorn antelope and wild pigs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The not very subtle and important qualification in that sentence and in the bill itself — that the law \u003cem>might someday\u003c/em> make it legal to freely collect and eat some big roadkill mammals — was lost on many media outlets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how the Sacramento Bee \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article235385237.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced the signing\u003c/a> of the legislation, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB395\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SB 395\u003c/a>, in October: “The bad news: While driving at night, you struck and killed a deer. The good news: You just got a free venison dinner, under a bill now signed into law by California Gov. Gavin Newsom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NBC Los Angeles headlined the story “\u003ca href=\"https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/gov-newsom-signs-roadkill-bill/1964553/\">Road Kill Now Legal to Eat in California\u003c/a>.” Eater SF declared “\u003ca href=\"https://sf.eater.com/2019/10/18/20915751/california-roadkill-law-passed-eat-kill-salvage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New California Law Lets Drivers Eat Their Own Roadkill\u003c/a>.” American Hunter chimed in with “\u003ca href=\"https://www.americanhunter.org/articles/2019/11/8/roadkill-officially-on-the-menu-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roadkill Officially on the Menu in California\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with the new year approaching and new state laws set to take effect, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife is trying to set the record straight: \u003ca href=\"https://cdfgnews.wordpress.com/2019/12/23/roadkill-still-illegal-to-possess-on-jan-1-despite-passage-of-the-wildlife-traffic-safety-act/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">It will still be illegal\u003c/a> to possess a roadkill animal in the new year, and enactment of the new law notwithstanding, it’s likely to remain against the law for some time to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a whole lot of excitement about the bill from the media’s perspective, largely just because of the headline — ‘Kill it and grill it is about to become law.’ ” CDFW Capt. Patrick Foy said in a telephone interview this week. “There’s a widespread belief that Jan. 1, people are going to start being able to utilize roadkill. We just want to make sure that people understand that’s ultimately the goal of the bill, but it’s not in place yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what does SB 395 actually do and when might the provisions take effect?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Bob Archuleta, a Democrat representing parts of Los Angeles and Orange counties, who authored the legislation, said it has two primary goals: to minimize the waste of what could be usable food and to prompt the state to collect better data on wildlife-vehicle collisions that could be used to improve highway safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though there are no definitive statistics on roadkill deaths in California, UC Davis researchers have estimated that vehicles hit about 20,000 deer on the state’s highways each year and that at least 40% of those animals are killed. Archuleta’s bill notes that toll “potentially translates into hundreds of thousands of pounds of healthy meat that could be used to feed those in need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law, titled the Wildlife Safety Traffic Act, directs the state Fish and Game Commission to create and launch a pilot program by mid-2022 to allow members of the public to salvage deer, elk, pronghorn antelope and wild pigs accidentally killed in vehicle collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law also requires the commission to create “a user-friendly and cellphone-friendly web-based portal” for reporting wildlife collisions and obtaining a wildlife salvage permit. To get such a permit, participants will need to report “the location, type, and description of the animal salvaged, the date and time of salvage, the basic characteristics of the incident and a description of the vehicle involved, where applicable, and the destination where the carcass will be transported” — and perhaps other details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really have to get these specifics down, because we want to avoid members of the public using this bill as a cover for poaching,” Foy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the law, the commission could limit the pilot to yet-to-be-determined parts of the state. Stopping on freeways to pick up roadkill is likely to be banned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the program is still off in the indefinite future, Foy does have some practical advice for California drivers in the meantime: Pay attention to deer-crossing signs, which mark known migratory and travel routes. And recognize that deer often don’t recognize the deadly hazard vehicles represent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s especially true in the fall, when deer mate and colder weather prompts them to move from the mountains and foothills to lower elevations, Foy says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Deer just kind of behave like goofy teenagers” when they’re mating, Foy said. “They’re not really thinking about self-preservation, and they just go wandering out onto freeways.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gavin Newsom signed, a bill that could, one day, make it legal to salvage and consume roadkill deer, elk, pronghorn antelope and wild pigs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The not very subtle and important qualification in that sentence and in the bill itself — that the law \u003cem>might someday\u003c/em> make it legal to freely collect and eat some big roadkill mammals — was lost on many media outlets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how the Sacramento Bee \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article235385237.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced the signing\u003c/a> of the legislation, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB395\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SB 395\u003c/a>, in October: “The bad news: While driving at night, you struck and killed a deer. The good news: You just got a free venison dinner, under a bill now signed into law by California Gov. Gavin Newsom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NBC Los Angeles headlined the story “\u003ca href=\"https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/gov-newsom-signs-roadkill-bill/1964553/\">Road Kill Now Legal to Eat in California\u003c/a>.” Eater SF declared “\u003ca href=\"https://sf.eater.com/2019/10/18/20915751/california-roadkill-law-passed-eat-kill-salvage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New California Law Lets Drivers Eat Their Own Roadkill\u003c/a>.” American Hunter chimed in with “\u003ca href=\"https://www.americanhunter.org/articles/2019/11/8/roadkill-officially-on-the-menu-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roadkill Officially on the Menu in California\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with the new year approaching and new state laws set to take effect, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife is trying to set the record straight: \u003ca href=\"https://cdfgnews.wordpress.com/2019/12/23/roadkill-still-illegal-to-possess-on-jan-1-despite-passage-of-the-wildlife-traffic-safety-act/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">It will still be illegal\u003c/a> to possess a roadkill animal in the new year, and enactment of the new law notwithstanding, it’s likely to remain against the law for some time to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Patrick Foy said in a telephone interview this week. “There’s a widespread belief that Jan. 1, people are going to start being able to utilize roadkill. We just want to make sure that people understand that’s ultimately the goal of the bill, but it’s not in place yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what does SB 395 actually do and when might the provisions take effect?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Bob Archuleta, a Democrat representing parts of Los Angeles and Orange counties, who authored the legislation, said it has two primary goals: to minimize the waste of what could be usable food and to prompt the state to collect better data on wildlife-vehicle collisions that could be used to improve highway safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though there are no definitive statistics on roadkill deaths in California, UC Davis researchers have estimated that vehicles hit about 20,000 deer on the state’s highways each year and that at least 40% of those animals are killed. Archuleta’s bill notes that toll “potentially translates into hundreds of thousands of pounds of healthy meat that could be used to feed those in need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law, titled the Wildlife Safety Traffic Act, directs the state Fish and Game Commission to create and launch a pilot program by mid-2022 to allow members of the public to salvage deer, elk, pronghorn antelope and wild pigs accidentally killed in vehicle collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law also requires the commission to create “a user-friendly and cellphone-friendly web-based portal” for reporting wildlife collisions and obtaining a wildlife salvage permit. To get such a permit, participants will need to report “the location, type, and description of the animal salvaged, the date and time of salvage, the basic characteristics of the incident and a description of the vehicle involved, where applicable, and the destination where the carcass will be transported” — and perhaps other details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really have to get these specifics down, because we want to avoid members of the public using this bill as a cover for poaching,” Foy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the law, the commission could limit the pilot to yet-to-be-determined parts of the state. Stopping on freeways to pick up roadkill is likely to be banned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the program is still off in the indefinite future, Foy does have some practical advice for California drivers in the meantime: Pay attention to deer-crossing signs, which mark known migratory and travel routes. And recognize that deer often don’t recognize the deadly hazard vehicles represent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s especially true in the fall, when deer mate and colder weather prompts them to move from the mountains and foothills to lower elevations, Foy says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Deer just kind of behave like goofy teenagers” when they’re mating, Foy said. “They’re not really thinking about self-preservation, and they just go wandering out onto freeways.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

One of his first moves was to go out and meet his customers face to face and hear what they have to say. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do that, Powers launched a \"listening tour\" to talk to riders in each of the system's 48 stations.

The claims range from unwanted touching and kissing to rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S.-only report also covers deaths involving Uber rides. During those two years, 107 people died in crashes involving Uber cars, and 19 people were killed in physical assaults during or soon after an Uber ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As troubling as those statistics are, the incidents they capture are rare. People in the U.S. took 2.3 billion rides using Uber in those two years. For 99.9% of those trips, no safety incident was reported, and the serious safety problems detailed in the report were even more uncommon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the scale that Uber operates, we're going to see both the good and the bad that happens in society because we're operating so many trips every single day,\" said Tony West, Uber's chief legal officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the unfortunate but sad truths is that sexual assault, sexual violence is far more prevalent in American society than a lot of people recognize,\" he said. \"That exists in companies, it exists in classrooms, it exists on university campuses and homes.

The apps have come under intense scrutiny for how they screen drivers, handle complaints and remove offenders from their platforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Uber's report doesn't present a complete picture. When it comes to sexual assaults, Uber includes what it defines as the five most severe categories: nonconsensual kissing of a nonsexual body part, attempted nonconsensual sexual penetration, nonconsensual touching of a sexual body part, nonconsensual kissing of a sexual body part and nonconsensual sexual penetration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report does not include other types of sexual misconduct, like masturbation, asking for sex or verbal threats of assault.

The company says it will release updated figures every two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rate of serious sexual assault incidents per ride went down in every category between 2017 and 2018.

And I think the data in this report actually indicates that as well,\" West said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Uber also warned that rates could go up in the years to come if more people are encouraged to report sexual assault. Reporting rates for sexual violence and misconduct are notoriously low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sexual assault numbers in Uber's report cover a wide range of allegations. Some of the claims ended up being investigated by police and criminally prosecuted. In other cases, Uber was unable to reach the person who reported the assault for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victims were both riders and drivers.

In 2017, for example, San Francisco received 14 reports of violence or physical altercations and four reports of accidents involving injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the city does not separate out sexual assault complaints.

The city then passes those names on to other ride-hailing companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could flag drivers who behave unsafely or inappropriately, even if their behavior does not violate the law. Allegations may not be corroborated the way they would be in a criminal case, however, and it is unclear how much information another company would require to ban a driver for behavior conducted while using a different app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber is also testing audio recording in some cities in Latin America and video recording in Texas. It allows either drivers or passengers to initiate recordings. They can choose to send the file to Uber but cannot access or save it for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many critics have pushed for Uber to require cameras in cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having a dashboard camera for these rides would, I think, prevent a substantial portion of the assaults from happening,\" said Rachel Abrams, a lawyer in San Francisco whose firm represents victims of sexual assault on ride-hailing apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But rolling out such recordings more widely will require navigating privacy and notification laws that differ across states and countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber is the first ride-hailing company to publicly release its safety data. Lyft has also said it is working on a report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, victims of sexual assault are taking their claims against Uber \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/12/759876637/lawsuits-say-lyft-doesnt-do-enough-to-protect-women-from-predator-drivers\">and Lyft\u003c/a> to court.

And the good news — good, if you're thinking about our longer-term water needs and not traveling over the coming weekend — is that forecasts show the wet weather resuming this weekend and continuing into next week. A few specifics about what just passed and what's to come:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A \"bomb cyclone\" that broke records:\u003c/strong> The National Weather Service says the storm that dove into California Tuesday had the lowest atmospheric pressure ever recorded in the state: 28.69 inches, or 973.4 millibars, as recorded at Crescent City, on the coast near the Oregon border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those extremely low numbers were the product of \"explosive cyclogenesis,\" also often referred to as \"bombogenesis\" — a process in which a low pressure area or storm center intensifies very rapidly. The effect is what's called a tight pressure gradient, or an abrupt change in pressure between areas that are relatively close together. And the result is an increased potential for very strong winds and other intense storm conditions, such as periods of heavy precipitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What did it look like in Crescent City, where the \"bomb cyclone\" was at its most intense?

The front moved through the city just after 6 p.m., triggering brief but impressive downpours that caused widespread roadway flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar scenario occurred throughout the region, with the steady rain that had preceded the front turning into short-lived cloudbursts, then giving way to clearing skies and occasional showers — which are expected to continue into early Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the height of the storm as captured by KQED's Miranda Leitsinger in Mountain View:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/mimileitsinger/status/1199534534343086081\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highest 24-hour rain totals in the region as of 1 p.m. Wednesday were spread across western Marin County, where Mill Valley has recorded 2.05 inches, and the Santa Cruz Mountains, where Scott Creek reported 1.97 inches. Dozens of locations across the region topped an inch of rain, including downtown San Francisco and San Francisco International Airport (1.14), Hayward Airport (1.13) and Oakland International Airport (1.01).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Driving across the mountains?

But the storm's rambunctious arrival on the coast, with high winds that took down trees and power lines and caused other damage, left more than 80,000 customers without power Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hardest hit was Humboldt County, where at least 20,000 customers lost power starting early Tuesday afternoon. Thousands remained without electricity going into a second night Wednesday. The utility was forecasting that some areas, mostly around the cities of Eureka and Arcata, may not have lights restored until Thanksgiving evening.

"content": "\u003cp>Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk showed off his company's all-electric \"Cybertruck\" on Thursday, touting its versatility and toughness. But the truck's unique design — it follows one angle from the front bumper to the top of the windshield, for instance — threw some Tesla fans for a loop. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And during a demonstration to show off the truck's \"armor glass,\" the windows smashed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In typical Tesla style, the unveiling in Los Angeles included a countdown clock and an auditorium full of fans and journalists. The truck drove onto the stage through wafts of artificial smoke, and music drummed through loudspeakers. On the periphery, pyrotechnic flames rose as the vehicle stopped in front of a graffiti-style Cybertruck graphic, in stark black and white. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk had teased several of the design cues ahead of the event, citing influences from \u003cem>Bladerunner\u003c/em> to the James Bond movie \u003cem>The Spy Who Loved Me\u003c/em>. Both films featured vehicles with sharply angled front ends and overall wedge shapes — an approach to car design that's been seen as futuristic and aerodynamic since Alfa Romeo created the knifelike \u003ca href=\"https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/classic-concepts-1968-alfa-romeo-carabo\">Carabo\u003c/a> concept car in 1968. Others followed, such as Lamborghini's angular Countach and the Lotus Esprit, one of which was made into an amphibious vehicle for Roger Moore's James Bond — a car that \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/18/tesla-elon-musk-james-bond-lotus-submarine-car\">Musk bought in 2013\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The front of the Cybertruck angles up to a point just above the front-seat headrests, where it meets an even longer slope down to the rear — a continuous plane that includes both a transparent roof panel and the truck's rolltop bed cover, which retracts behind the back seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk seems to have expected the wedge-shaped design to split some potential customers, saying months before the truck's long-awaited unveiling that \u003ca href=\"https://electrek.co/2019/03/15/tesla-cyberpunk-electric-pickup-truck-teaser-elon-musk/\">its look\u003c/a> \"may be too futuristic for most people.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11788182\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/cybertruck-5_wide-a71c29f4a3bb25b815a5eea6bb234c41e4e3fd27-800x450.jpe\" alt=\"Tesla unveiled its Cybertruck electric vehicle Thursday night.

Need to sleep on it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, she elaborated somewhat: \"I've slept on it now, but my facial expression is still the same.

He added, \"Many of these same colleagues spent this entire week lamenting an industry that is churning out samey, half-assed crossover SUVs. I'll take weird over anonymous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter user David Wu \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/libdave/status/1197750810261647361\">compared it to a stealth fighter\u003c/a>: \"The F35 of pickup trucks. Don't think my mind has ever been blown like this before.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla says the Cybertruck drives better than most sports cars and is more useful than a normal truck. From a standing start, the truck's maxed-out version can accelerate to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, according to the company. And on paper at least, the pairing of electric motors — known for their high torque output — with a truck would seem to be a slam-dunk concept.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But pickup trucks, like most automobiles, are also sold on image. And both Tesla and Musk have repeatedly played up the new electric truck's ruggedness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want a truck that's really tough? Not fake tough?\" Musk asked the crowd Thursday night. He also said Tesla will make the exterior of the Cybertruck from a stainless steel alloy developed by his companies. \"We're going to be using the same alloy in the Starship rocket,\" Musk said, referring to his SpaceX project. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is literally bulletproof to a 9 mm handgun, that's how strong the skin is,\" Musk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then things went off track with the \"Tesla armor glass\" strength test. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7atGkba-Z8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A metal ball was dropped onto a sheet of what Musk described as \"regular car glass,\" leaving a long crack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To test a sheet of Tesla's glass, the metal ball was taken up to a height of around 10 feet and dropped again. The \"armor glass\" remained intact.

But the truck's unique design — it follows one angle from the front bumper to the top of the windshield, for instance — threw some Tesla fans for a loop. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And during a demonstration to show off the truck's \"armor glass,\" the windows smashed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In typical Tesla style, the unveiling in Los Angeles included a countdown clock and an auditorium full of fans and journalists. The truck drove onto the stage through wafts of artificial smoke, and music drummed through loudspeakers. On the periphery, pyrotechnic flames rose as the vehicle stopped in front of a graffiti-style Cybertruck graphic, in stark black and white. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk had teased several of the design cues ahead of the event, citing influences from \u003cem>Bladerunner\u003c/em> to the James Bond movie \u003cem>The Spy Who Loved Me\u003c/em>. Both films featured vehicles with sharply angled front ends and overall wedge shapes — an approach to car design that's been seen as futuristic and aerodynamic since Alfa Romeo created the knifelike \u003ca href=\"https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/classic-concepts-1968-alfa-romeo-carabo\">Carabo\u003c/a> concept car in 1968. Others followed, such as Lamborghini's angular Countach and the Lotus Esprit, one of which was made into an amphibious vehicle for Roger Moore's James Bond — a car that \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/18/tesla-elon-musk-james-bond-lotus-submarine-car\">Musk bought in 2013\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The front of the Cybertruck angles up to a point just above the front-seat headrests, where it meets an even longer slope down to the rear — a continuous plane that includes both a transparent roof panel and the truck's rolltop bed cover, which retracts behind the back seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Alvarez said the suspect was arrested nearby by Hayward police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarez said that the two men began fighting shortly after the southbound train left Bay Fair Station. Eventually, one of the men pulled a knife and stabbed the other, Alvarez said. BART police responding to South Hayward found the victim, who was pronounced dead aboard the train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither the victim nor the suspect were identified, though Alvarez said both men appeared to be in their 40s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarez said investigators were retrieving video from cameras on the train car where the attack took place. The station was closed after the incident, which BART first reported on Twitter about 1:15 p.m. as \"police activity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As reporters arrived at South Hayward for Alvarez's 4 p.m. media briefing, police officers were seen apparently dusting for fingerprints at the station fare gates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/melissacolorado/status/1196936988080758785\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday's incident marked the first homicide on BART since \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11683791/suspect-in-fatal-bay-fair-bart-assault-surrenders-to-police\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a series of three killings\u003c/a> in July 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those deaths, which included an unprovoked knife attack on 18-year-old Nia Wilson of Oakland, unleashed fierce criticism about the rising level of violent crime on the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarez sought to calm patrons' concerns Tuesday, calling the latest fatal attack \"rare on BART. It's not something we get a lot of.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do want to assure our ridership that BART is safe,\" he added. \"We'll continue to reassure them by providing the presence in our system so that they can continue to ride safely.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a reporter challenged Alvarez' assertion the system is safe, the chief said Tuesday's incident \"wasn't a random attack. It was a fight between two individuals who engaged each other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, BART General Manager Robert Powers issued a statement that likewise sought to quell fears that the system has become unsafe. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are heartbroken that a person has lost his life due to violence on one of our trains this afternoon,\" Powers said. \"We extend our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the victim.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers said that to address rider concerns, the agency would immediately increase the police presence throughout the BART system. That presence will include sworn officers working additional overtime alongside non-sworn community service officers and fare inspectors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency implemented \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11685081/as-bart-violence-spikes-agency-proposes-comprehensive-security-plan\">similar steps\u003c/a> in the aftermath of the killings in the summer of 2018. \u003c/p>\n\n",
