"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

And \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/01/business/self-driving-tesla-fatal-crash-investigation.html?_r=0\">many reports\u003c/a> say the fatal crash has heightened concern about self-driving cars. Which may be true. Except — Model S isn't a self-driving car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR's Sonari Glinton \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/07/01/484284728/after-deadly-crash-safety-officials-will-examine-teslas-autopilot-mode\" target=\"_blank\">points out\u003c/a>, what Tesla's Model S has are self-driving \u003cem>features\u003c/em>, autonomous elements meant to assist drivers rather than replace them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virtually all major car and tech companies are pursuing self-driving technology as the future of transportation. But Tesla and Google are the earliest innovators, taking very different approaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CEO Elon Musk's approach with Tesla is to roll out Autopilot (a sort of highly advanced cruise control) and other autonomous features like self-parking with software updates over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the company \u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tragic-loss\" target=\"_blank\">underscored\u003c/a> this week in response to the deadly crash, Tesla drivers are required to explicitly acknowledge \"that the system is new technology and still in a public beta phase.\" In other words, Tesla's drivers are the beta testers of self-driving technology and assume the risk associated with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is from \u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tragic-loss\" target=\"_blank\">Tesla's blog\u003c/a> in response to the fatal crash:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Autopilot is getting better all the time, but it is not perfect and still requires the driver to remain alert. Nonetheless, when used in conjunction with driver oversight, the data is unequivocal that Autopilot reduces driver workload and results in a statistically significant improvement in safety when compared to purely manual driving.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Google instead is focusing on creating a fully autonomous car, all at once, and isn't selling any of them. That means it's lagging behind Tesla on driven miles, but they don't involve regular drivers. (Tesla \u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tragic-loss\" target=\"_blank\">says\u003c/a> Autopilot has been activated for more than 130 million miles, while Google's \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/selfdrivingcar/where/\" target=\"_blank\">website says\u003c/a> its self-driving cars have driven 1.5 million miles.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technologically, the approaches differ, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google relies on a highly expensive complex remote-sensing system called Lidar, which \u003ca href=\"http://9to5google.com/2015/10/16/elon-musk-says-that-the-lidar-google-uses-in-its-self-driving-car-doesnt-make-sense-in-a-car-context/\" target=\"_blank\">the website 9to5google.com explains\u003c/a> as an \"array on top of the vehicle, which — in simple terms — measures distance by pointing lasers at targets surrounding the car and analyzing the light that's reflected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk late last year suggested \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/73_Qjez1MbI?t=35m32s\" target=\"_blank\">in a press conference\u003c/a> that Lidar was a bit excessive for an automobile:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"For full autonomy you'd obviously need 360-degree cameras, you'd need probably redundant forward cameras, you'd need redundant computing hardware, and then redundant motors and a steering rack. ... That said, I don't think you need Lidar. I think you can do this all with passive optical and then with maybe one forward radar.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tesla's Autopilot relies on a combination of \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/presskit/autopilot\" target=\"_blank\">cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors\u003c/a> and data automatically steer down the highway, change lanes, and adjust speed in response to traffic,\" and uses auto braking technology by Israeli company Mobileye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/01/mobileye-tesla/\" target=\"_blank\">posted by TechCrunch\u003c/a>, a Mobileye executive said the emergency auto braking was \"designed specifically\" for rear-end collision avoidance, and not a lateral collision like the fatal case revealed this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla drivers, including the man killed in the deadly crash, have posted scores of videos of near-collisions involving Autopilot use. Several \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/05/26/tesla-autopilot-crash/\" target=\"_blank\">have blamed\u003c/a> the company for accidents that did occur, including 1) \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/model-s-on-autopilot-crashes-into-other-car-proving-yet-again-tesla-owners-arent-paying-close-enough/\" target=\"_blank\">this one in Europe\u003c/a>, 2) \u003ca href=\"http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/05/another-driver-says-teslas-autopilot-failed-to-brake-tesla-says-otherwise/\" target=\"_blank\">this one in California\u003c/a> and 3) \u003ca href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/11/11658226/tesla-model-s-summon-autopilot-crash-letter\" target=\"_blank\">this one in Utah\u003c/a> — in which the Tesla crashed without the driver inside while the car was self-parking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla, after reviewing vehicle logs, has attributed those accidents to human error, saying the drivers 1) were inattentive, 2) disabled the automation and 3) misused the Summon feature and didn't heed the vehicle's warnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's fully self-driving cars, which mostly ride in city environments as opposed to highways, have so far caused one crash.

Nonetheless, when used in conjunction with driver oversight, the data is unequivocal that Autopilot reduces driver workload and results in a statistically significant improvement in safety when compared to purely manual driving.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Google instead is focusing on creating a fully autonomous car, all at once, and isn't selling any of them. That means it's lagging behind Tesla on driven miles, but they don't involve regular drivers. (Tesla \u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tragic-loss\" target=\"_blank\">says\u003c/a> Autopilot has been activated for more than 130 million miles, while Google's \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/selfdrivingcar/where/\" target=\"_blank\">website says\u003c/a> its self-driving cars have driven 1.5 million miles.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technologically, the approaches differ, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google relies on a highly expensive complex remote-sensing system called Lidar, which \u003ca href=\"http://9to5google.com/2015/10/16/elon-musk-says-that-the-lidar-google-uses-in-its-self-driving-car-doesnt-make-sense-in-a-car-context/\" target=\"_blank\">the website 9to5google.com explains\u003c/a> as an \"array on top of the vehicle, which — in simple terms — measures distance by pointing lasers at targets surrounding the car and analyzing the light that's reflected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk late last year suggested \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/73_Qjez1MbI?t=35m32s\" target=\"_blank\">in a press conference\u003c/a> that Lidar was a bit excessive for an automobile:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"For full autonomy you'd obviously need 360-degree cameras, you'd need probably redundant forward cameras, you'd need redundant computing hardware, and then redundant motors and a steering rack. ... That said, I don't think you need Lidar. I think you can do this all with passive optical and then with maybe one forward radar.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tesla's Autopilot relies on a combination of \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/presskit/autopilot\" target=\"_blank\">cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors\u003c/a> and data automatically steer down the highway, change lanes, and adjust speed in response to traffic,\" and uses auto braking technology by Israeli company Mobileye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/01/mobileye-tesla/\" target=\"_blank\">posted by TechCrunch\u003c/a>, a Mobileye executive said the emergency auto braking was \"designed specifically\" for rear-end collision avoidance, and not a lateral collision like the fatal case revealed this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla drivers, including the man killed in the deadly crash, have posted scores of videos of near-collisions involving Autopilot use. Several \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/05/26/tesla-autopilot-crash/\" target=\"_blank\">have blamed\u003c/a> the company for accidents that did occur, including 1) \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/model-s-on-autopilot-crashes-into-other-car-proving-yet-again-tesla-owners-arent-paying-close-enough/\" target=\"_blank\">this one in Europe\u003c/a>, 2) \u003ca href=\"http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/05/another-driver-says-teslas-autopilot-failed-to-brake-tesla-says-otherwise/\" target=\"_blank\">this one in California\u003c/a> and 3) \u003ca href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/11/11658226/tesla-model-s-summon-autopilot-crash-letter\" target=\"_blank\">this one in Utah\u003c/a> — in which the Tesla crashed without the driver inside while the car was self-parking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla, after reviewing vehicle logs, has attributed those accidents to human error, saying the drivers 1) were inattentive, 2) disabled the automation and 3) misused the Summon feature and didn't heed the vehicle's warnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's fully self-driving cars, which mostly ride in city environments as opposed to highways, have so far caused one crash.

Not hardly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press has published video from the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority showing the low-speed encounter last month between one of the agency's buses and a self-driving Google SUV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Valentine's Day episode in Mountain View is said to be the first time one of the self-driving vehicles caused a crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By a less-than-eerie coincidence, I saw one of these Google SUVs -- perhaps the ill-fated vehicle itself -- the night before the crash. It negotiated a right turn off of Castro Street onto Villa, just outside Red Rock Coffee. The vehicle showed an otherworldly calm amid the busy Friday night traffic. It did not betray any irritation at the unending stream of pedestrians crossing the street and delaying its turn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back to the collision video: If you're expecting Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, pumping adrenaline and such -- no, not this time. Bus passengers appear to barely notice the impact. The bus driver has a \"what the heck?\" moment after the impact, but shows no alarm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The collision was not without its human cost, though -- the bus was forced to stop at the accident scene, and passengers were forced to exit the vehicle. No one was injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's Lexus and the VTA bus, however, did get scuffed up in the encounter. The SUV had to be towed, while the bus suffered mostly cosmetic damage. The AP says an independent claims adjuster is still assessing liability for the collision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more, read Google's \u003ca href=\"http://tinyurl.com/hwakzeu\" target=\"_blank\">DMV accident report\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://tinyurl.com/j69hyfa\" target=\"_blank\">the company's February report\u003c/a> on the self-driving car program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press Q&A on the collision and Google's self-driving car program is below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IS THIS THE FIRST CRASH FOR A GOOGLE CAR?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. The Feb. 14 crash is the first in which Google has acknowledged its car made a mistake that led to a collision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google has reported that between September 2014 and November, its prototypes drove themselves about 400,000 miles on city streets near its Silicon Valley headquarters without causing a collision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its fleet has likely driven an additional 100,000 miles since then, though the company won't be specific. According to Google's accounting, its cars have been hit nearly a dozen times on the streets in or around its Mountain View headquarters since road testing began in spring 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOW DID THE CRASH HAPPEN?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lexus intended to turn right off a major boulevard but stopped after detecting sandbags around a storm drain near the intersection, according to an accident report Google filed with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Photos show two small black sandbags on either side of a drain at the curb. The right lane was wide enough to let some cars turn and others go straight, but to avoid driving over the sandbags, the Lexus needed to slide to its left within the lane. The bus and several other cars that drove straight were to the left of the Lexus, in the same lane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the light turned green, several cars ahead of the bus passed the SUV. Google has said that both the car's software and the person in the driver's seat thought the bus would let the Lexus into the flow of traffic. The Google employee did not try to intervene before the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a classic example of the negotiation that's a normal part of driving — we're all trying to predict each other's movements. In this case, we clearly bear some responsibility, because if our car hadn't moved there wouldn't have been a collision,\" Google wrote of the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT DOES THE VIDEO SHOW?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The footage shows angles from eight onboard cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one clip, passengers gazing out on a sunny afternoon are jolted to attention by a scraping, crunching sound and the impact, which causes several hand straps to sway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another clip, the Lexus RX450 can be seen bouncing off the side of the bus. Photos show a long scratch mark traversing the side of the bus. The radar unit ended up wedged in the crack where two side passenger doors of the bus join, cracking a glass panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A camera trained on the driver shows him open his mouth in surprise, then gesture as if to say, \"Why did you just hit my bus?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SURPRISING MOVE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google has said that safety is its guiding principle in developing the cars, and that once mature, the technology promises to reduce collisions and deaths dramatically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The software that controls the cars is programmed to follow all traffic laws and to drive conservatively, the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law-abiding algorithms that rule the SUV's onboard computer make its decision to try and slip in front of the bus surprising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Footage from a forward-facing camera on the bus shows there was not much more than a full car length between the bus and the GMC Yukon in front of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google said it has tweaked its software to \"more deeply understand that buses and other large vehicles are less likely to yield to us than other types of vehicles.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It negotiated a right turn off of Castro Street onto Villa, just outside Red Rock Coffee. The vehicle showed an otherworldly calm amid the busy Friday night traffic. It did not betray any irritation at the unending stream of pedestrians crossing the street and delaying its turn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bus passengers appear to barely notice the impact. The bus driver has a \"what the heck?\" moment after the impact, but shows no alarm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The collision was not without its human cost, though -- the bus was forced to stop at the accident scene, and passengers were forced to exit the vehicle. No one was injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's Lexus and the VTA bus, however, did get scuffed up in the encounter. The SUV had to be towed, while the bus suffered mostly cosmetic damage. The AP says an independent claims adjuster is still assessing liability for the collision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more, read Google's \u003ca href=\"http://tinyurl.com/hwakzeu\" target=\"_blank\">DMV accident report\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://tinyurl.com/j69hyfa\" target=\"_blank\">the company's February report\u003c/a> on the self-driving car program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press Q&A on the collision and Google's self-driving car program is below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IS THIS THE FIRST CRASH FOR A GOOGLE CAR?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. The Feb. 14 crash is the first in which Google has acknowledged its car made a mistake that led to a collision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google has reported that between September 2014 and November, its prototypes drove themselves about 400,000 miles on city streets near its Silicon Valley headquarters without causing a collision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its fleet has likely driven an additional 100,000 miles since then, though the company won't be specific. According to Google's accounting, its cars have been hit nearly a dozen times on the streets in or around its Mountain View headquarters since road testing began in spring 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOW DID THE CRASH HAPPEN?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lexus intended to turn right off a major boulevard but stopped after detecting sandbags around a storm drain near the intersection, according to an accident report Google filed with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Photos show two small black sandbags on either side of a drain at the curb. The right lane was wide enough to let some cars turn and others go straight, but to avoid driving over the sandbags, the Lexus needed to slide to its left within the lane. The bus and several other cars that drove straight were to the left of the Lexus, in the same lane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the light turned green, several cars ahead of the bus passed the SUV. Google has said that both the car's software and the person in the driver's seat thought the bus would let the Lexus into the flow of traffic. The Google employee did not try to intervene before the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a classic example of the negotiation that's a normal part of driving — we're all trying to predict each other's movements. In this case, we clearly bear some responsibility, because if our car hadn't moved there wouldn't have been a collision,\" Google wrote of the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT DOES THE VIDEO SHOW?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The footage shows angles from eight onboard cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one clip, passengers gazing out on a sunny afternoon are jolted to attention by a scraping, crunching sound and the impact, which causes several hand straps to sway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another clip, the Lexus RX450 can be seen bouncing off the side of the bus. Photos show a long scratch mark traversing the side of the bus. The radar unit ended up wedged in the crack where two side passenger doors of the bus join, cracking a glass panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A camera trained on the driver shows him open his mouth in surprise, then gesture as if to say, \"Why did you just hit my bus?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SURPRISING MOVE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google has said that safety is its guiding principle in developing the cars, and that once mature, the technology promises to reduce collisions and deaths dramatically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The software that controls the cars is programmed to follow all traffic laws and to drive conservatively, the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law-abiding algorithms that rule the SUV's onboard computer make its decision to try and slip in front of the bus surprising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Footage from a forward-facing camera on the bus shows there was not much more than a full car length between the bus and the GMC Yukon in front of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google said it has tweaked its software to \"more deeply understand that buses and other large vehicles are less likely to yield to us than other types of vehicles.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We also like that it means alpha-bet (Alpha is investment return above benchmark), which we strive for!
