New Data Shows Hundreds of Recent Crashes With Cars Using Self-Driving and Driver-Assist Technology

New data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that over a 10-month period, there were nearly 400 car crashes that involved advanced driver-assistance technology.  Think of Tesla’s Autopilot or Full Self Driving Mode, and other tech like lane-keeping and adaptive cruise control.  Tesla was responsible for about 70% of the crashes, but they also have more vehicles on the road.  Neal Boudette, reporter for the NY Times, joins us for more.

Next, with all the changing economic news, some workers don’t feel as powerful as they used to.  The tight labor market and the Great Resignation led employees to demand remote work and higher salaries, but as inflation continues and fears of a recession loom, people are looking for more security over flexibility and companies are taking note.  Callum Borchers, On the Clock columnist at the WSJ, joins us for this change in attitude.

Finally, children are increasingly becoming targets of ID theft and it usually goes unnoticed until they apply for a student loan or first credit card and find their credit scores are in the dumps.  Identity theft affects about 1.25 million kids every year and most of the time these victims know the perpetrators personally, whether it is family member or caregiver.  Tatum Hunter, tech writer at The Washington Post, joins us for how to protect your kids.
