The pothole was massive. It was massive! It’s no reason why that pothole should not have been fixed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/baycurious/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bay Curious\u003c/a> got this question from Anne Schaefer-Salinas and her son, Declan: Why does bad weather cause potholes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We spoke to \u003ca href=\"http://www.dot.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caltrans \u003c/a>and got a lesson in how potholes are formed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imagine for a moment life as a section of roadway. Passing cars are constantly pressing down on you, followed by periods of relaxation when there’s no car. All day, every day, year after year. All this repeated pressing and releasing creates tiny imperfections in the pavement that turn into cracks. When you add water into the mix, those cracks get bigger, faster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whenever it rains and the rainwater accumulates on the road, tires from the road actually squeeze the water into the pavement,” Caltrans spokesman Bob Haus says. “So that repeated squeezing into the asphalt and into the concrete causes the cracking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water gets through those cracks and weakens the soil under the road. That leads to even more cracking and eventually a pothole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more traffic, the more potholes. And the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SF-traffic-ranks-as-4th-worst-in-world-10960858.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bay Area has no shortage of traffic\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s just a lot of traffic on Bay Area roads,” Haus says. “We all know that.

Those vehicles are now being driven manually, the company says, reportedly as part of a mapping project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spokesperson said Uber plans to resume operating autonomous vehicles in the city, but doesn't have a firm timeline for their return to public streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Motor Vehicles said via email: \"Uber hasn't formally submitted their autonomous vehicle tester program application, but just as we would with any other manufacturer, the DMV is providing assistance with the steps necessary to apply for and receive a test permit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DMV has approved 23 companies -- ranging from major automakers to Nvidia, best known for its graphics processing hardware -- to conduct autonomous vehicle testing in the state.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"title": "BART Board Weighs Deficit Solutions as Ridership and Revenue Sink",
"headTitle": "News Fix | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>When BART developed its budget for the current fiscal year, which runs from last July 1 through this June 30, it made what seems like a natural assumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency had seen several years of dramatic growth in the number of passengers using the system, especially on weekdays. So staff estimated that, even though there were signs that ridership growth was slowing down, the system would continue to see more people board its trains during this fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For BART managers, the agency's board of directors and system patrons alike, the number of people riding is more than a matter of academic interest or personal comfort. Train fares are BART's biggest single source of cash, and they're a key factor in the agency's annual budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As things have turned out, the slowdown in ridership growth BART saw in early 2016 has turned into an actual decrease in the number of people using the trains. And that trend, coupled with lower-than-expected growth in the district's sales tax proceeds, spells budget trouble that could impact passengers who continue to crowd onto the system's rush-hour trains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a budget update delivered to the BART Board of Directors on Thursday, staff reported that average weekday ridership between July 1 and Dec. 31, 2016 was down nearly 1 percent from the same period the previous year. A glance at the district's ridership report for January shows the trend has continued into this year, with total weekday ridership down about 4.5 percent from January 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What kind of financial hit does that add up to for BART?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district reported bringing in $480 million in fare revenue for fiscal 2015-16 and projected an increase of about 6 percent, to $510 million, for this fiscal year. BART financial staff now projects the agency will collect about $492 million in fares -- $18 million less than forecast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's one silver lining for BART in the ridership and revenue numbers, though: The number of passengers riding between the East Bay and San Francisco on weekdays is actually up 1 percent over last year. Those are longer trips with higher fares and have softened the overall loss of revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the district is facing an estimated $15 million to $25 million budget deficit for the year ending June 30; another shortfall of as much as $35 million is forecast for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, we've done the numbers.

So staff estimated that, even though there were signs that ridership growth was slowing down, the system would continue to see more people board its trains during this fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For BART managers, the agency's board of directors and system patrons alike, the number of people riding is more than a matter of academic interest or personal comfort. Train fares are BART's biggest single source of cash, and they're a key factor in the agency's annual budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As things have turned out, the slowdown in ridership growth BART saw in early 2016 has turned into an actual decrease in the number of people using the trains. And that trend, coupled with lower-than-expected growth in the district's sales tax proceeds, spells budget trouble that could impact passengers who continue to crowd onto the system's rush-hour trains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a budget update delivered to the BART Board of Directors on Thursday, staff reported that average weekday ridership between July 1 and Dec. 31, 2016 was down nearly 1 percent from the same period the previous year. A glance at the district's ridership report for January shows the trend has continued into this year, with total weekday ridership down about 4.5 percent from January 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

BART financial staff now projects the agency will collect about $492 million in fares -- $18 million less than forecast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's one silver lining for BART in the ridership and revenue numbers, though: The number of passengers riding between the East Bay and San Francisco on weekdays is actually up 1 percent over last year. Those are longer trips with higher fares and have softened the overall loss of revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the district is facing an estimated $15 million to $25 million budget deficit for the year ending June 30; another shortfall of as much as $35 million is forecast for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, we've done the numbers.

"content": "\u003cp>Waymo, the company that began as Google's self-driving-car project, is suing Uber, saying that when the company bought a startup founded by Waymo veterans, it also acquired thousands of design files stolen by those same former Waymo employees. Waymo \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/waymo/a-note-on-our-lawsuit-against-otto-and-uber-86f4f98902a1#.78q96tknf\" target=\"_blank\">is citing\u003c/a> forensic evidence — and an email that the company says inadvertently blew its former employees' cover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The startup in question is Otto, which was only months old when Uber bought it for \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-tech-volvo-otto-idUSKCN10T1TR\">roughly $680 million\u003c/a> last summer. The deal resulted in Uber putting Otto co-founder Anthony Levandowski in charge of its self-driving-vehicle effort — which includes both trucking, a field Otto had focused on, and personal vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem, according to Waymo and Alphabet (Google's umbrella company) is that before he left, Levandowski \"took extraordinary efforts to raid Waymo's design server and then conceal his activities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/waymo/a-note-on-our-lawsuit-against-otto-and-uber-86f4f98902a1#.9s91snwmx\">says it views Levandowski's actions\u003c/a> as \"part of a concerted plan to steal Waymo's trade secrets and intellectual property.\" In its court filing, the company says the plan was meant to help Uber recover from being \"more than five years behind\" in the race to develop reliable autonomous vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Requests for comment on the case from Uber and Otto were unanswered as of Friday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo's accusations center on LiDAR — essentially, the technology that allows self-driving vehicles to see the world around them by using lasers to shape an evolving 3-D image of other objects on the road. Waymo says it invested millions of dollars and thousands of hours to develop its advanced and cost-effective LiDAR sensors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo says Levandowski, who worked as a manager in its self-driving car project, downloaded nearly 10 gigabytes of data — more than 14,000 files — and attached an external hard drive to his company computer. A big chunk of that data, Waymo says, was related to LiDAR technology — including \"confidential specifications for each version of every generation of Waymo's LiDAR circuit boards,\" the company says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its lawsuit, Waymo also says its former employees who left to join Levandowski's new venture brought proprietary information with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These secrets included confidential supplier lists, manufacturing details and statements of work with highly technical information,\" the company says in its complaint, \"all of which reflected the results of Waymo's months-long, resource-intensive research into suppliers for highly specialized LiDAR sensor components.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LiDAR is also at the heart of an email that seems to have been sent to Waymo by mistake by a vendor who copied the company on a message to Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7dzPLynxaXuQjY3dkllZ2ZKb0k/view\">the complaint\u003c/a> filed in U.S. District Court:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Waymo was recently – and apparently inadvertently – copied on an email from one of its LiDAR component vendors. The email attached machine drawings of what purports to be an Uber LiDAR circuit board. This circuit board bears a striking resemblance to Waymo's own highly confidential and proprietary design and reflects Waymo trade secrets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo accuses Levandowski of attempting to conceal his activity in the Waymo design server, saying that he installed a new operating system on his company-issued laptop in an attempt to wipe the laptop clean — and that after that activity, he only used the laptop again for a few minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the rough timeline of events Waymo alleges in its court filing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Dec. 11, 2015: Using special software, Levandowski downloads more than 14,000 files. Seven days later, he reformats the laptop.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 14, 2016: Levandowski attends a high-level meeting at Uber's headquarters, according to Waymo.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan 15, 2016: Levandowski forms a new venture called 280 Systems, which will later becomes OttoMotto.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 27, 2016: Levandowski resigns from Waymo without notice, the company says.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Feb. 1, 2016: Otto Trucking is officially formed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>August 18, 2016: Uber \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/rethinking-transportation/\">announces deal to acquire Otto\u003c/a> — \"shortly after Mr. Levandowski received his final multi-million-dollar payment from Google,\" Waymo notes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dec. 13, 2016: Waymo receives an errant email from a LiDAR-component vendor, including an attached image of a circuit board that Waymo says strongly resembles its \"highly confidential current-generation LiDAR circuit board.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Feb. 9, 2016: Waymo receives documents from Nevada regulatory authorities that show Otto mentioned an \"[i]n-house custom built 64-laser\" LiDAR system that it said it had developed shortly before being acquired by Uber.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Along the way, Otto and Uber marked two high-profile milestones. Last September, Uber \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/pittsburgh-self-driving-uber/\">enacted a pilot program\u003c/a> using self-driving cars in Pittsburgh. And in October, Otto performed what was called \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/10/ubers-self-driving-truck-makes-first-delivery-50000-beers/\">the world's first autonomous truck delivery\u003c/a>\" in Colorado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While at Google, Anthony Levandowski was widely regarded as a star, a gifted engineer with a knack for integrating his work into the real world. The Ghost Rider robotic motorcycle he led the development of now belongs to \u003ca href=\"http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1332301\">the Smithsonian\u003c/a>. He joined Google back in 2007 — and in 2013, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/11/25/auto-correct\">New Yorker profile\u003c/a> said of him, \"Levandowski is equal parts idealist and voracious capitalist. He wants to fix the world and make a fortune doing it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When that article was published, Levandowski worked at Google X, the company's experimental lab. It's unclear how the current dispute might affect his reputation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo's lawsuit is the latest in a series of dramatic shifts in the relationship between Alphabet and Uber. Back in 2013, Google Ventures \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2013/08/22/google-ventures-puts-258m-into-uber-its-largest-deal-ever/\">invested more than $250 million\u003c/a> in the car service. At the same time, David Drummond, an Alphabet executive in corporate development, joined Uber's board — but he stepped down last summer, as the companies' roles as competitors became clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/20/key-google-executive-heads-to-uber.html\">Uber hired Amit Singhal\u003c/a>, a former Google executive who led the company's search unit before retiring one year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Waymo says it invested millions of dollars and thousands of hours to develop its advanced and cost-effective LiDAR sensors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo says Levandowski, who worked as a manager in its self-driving car project, downloaded nearly 10 gigabytes of data — more than 14,000 files — and attached an external hard drive to his company computer. A big chunk of that data, Waymo says, was related to LiDAR technology — including \"confidential specifications for each version of every generation of Waymo's LiDAR circuit boards,\" the company says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its lawsuit, Waymo also says its former employees who left to join Levandowski's new venture brought proprietary information with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These secrets included confidential supplier lists, manufacturing details and statements of work with highly technical information,\" the company says in its complaint, \"all of which reflected the results of Waymo's months-long, resource-intensive research into suppliers for highly specialized LiDAR sensor components.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LiDAR is also at the heart of an email that seems to have been sent to Waymo by mistake by a vendor who copied the company on a message to Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7dzPLynxaXuQjY3dkllZ2ZKb0k/view\">the complaint\u003c/a> filed in U.S. District Court:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Waymo was recently – and apparently inadvertently – copied on an email from one of its LiDAR component vendors. The email attached machine drawings of what purports to be an Uber LiDAR circuit board. This circuit board bears a striking resemblance to Waymo's own highly confidential and proprietary design and reflects Waymo trade secrets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo accuses Levandowski of attempting to conceal his activity in the Waymo design server, saying that he installed a new operating system on his company-issued laptop in an attempt to wipe the laptop clean — and that after that activity, he only used the laptop again for a few minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the rough timeline of events Waymo alleges in its court filing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Dec. 11, 2015: Using special software, Levandowski downloads more than 14,000 files. Seven days later, he reformats the laptop.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 14, 2016: Levandowski attends a high-level meeting at Uber's headquarters, according to Waymo.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan 15, 2016: Levandowski forms a new venture called 280 Systems, which will later becomes OttoMotto.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 27, 2016: Levandowski resigns from Waymo without notice, the company says.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Feb. 1, 2016: Otto Trucking is officially formed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>August 18, 2016: Uber \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/rethinking-transportation/\">announces deal to acquire Otto\u003c/a> — \"shortly after Mr. Levandowski received his final multi-million-dollar payment from Google,\" Waymo notes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dec. 13, 2016: Waymo receives an errant email from a LiDAR-component vendor, including an attached image of a circuit board that Waymo says strongly resembles its \"highly confidential current-generation LiDAR circuit board.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Feb. 9, 2016: Waymo receives documents from Nevada regulatory authorities that show Otto mentioned an \"[i]n-house custom built 64-laser\" LiDAR system that it said it had developed shortly before being acquired by Uber.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Along the way, Otto and Uber marked two high-profile milestones. Last September, Uber \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/pittsburgh-self-driving-uber/\">enacted a pilot program\u003c/a> using self-driving cars in Pittsburgh. And in October, Otto performed what was called \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/10/ubers-self-driving-truck-makes-first-delivery-50000-beers/\">the world's first autonomous truck delivery\u003c/a>\" in Colorado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While at Google, Anthony Levandowski was widely regarded as a star, a gifted engineer with a knack for integrating his work into the real world. The Ghost Rider robotic motorcycle he led the development of now belongs to \u003ca href=\"http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1332301\">the Smithsonian\u003c/a>. He joined Google back in 2007 — and in 2013, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/11/25/auto-correct\">New Yorker profile\u003c/a> said of him, \"Levandowski is equal parts idealist and voracious capitalist. He wants to fix the world and make a fortune doing it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When that article was published, Levandowski worked at Google X, the company's experimental lab. It's unclear how the current dispute might affect his reputation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo's lawsuit is the latest in a series of dramatic shifts in the relationship between Alphabet and Uber. Back in 2013, Google Ventures \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2013/08/22/google-ventures-puts-258m-into-uber-its-largest-deal-ever/\">invested more than $250 million\u003c/a> in the car service. At the same time, David Drummond, an Alphabet executive in corporate development, joined Uber's board — but he stepped down last summer, as the companies' roles as competitors became clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/20/key-google-executive-heads-to-uber.html\">Uber hired Amit Singhal\u003c/a>, a former Google executive who led the company's search unit before retiring one year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.
