‘It won’t go back to normal’: What this year’s heat waves mean for life in the coming years

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:53:41 GMT

One of the biggest stories of 2023 is the heat; relentless record-setting heat across much of the United States and the world.Canada has broken all-time wildfire records. Phoenix reached 110 degrees or higher every day in July for the first time. Ocean waters off south Florida hit 101 degrees this summer, the temperature in hot tubs. And heat waves have sent the mercury over 115 degrees from the Bay Area to Southern California in recent years, straining the power grid.Scientists say El Niño conditions, coupled with climate change, are making heat waves more severe. That has major implications for public health, outdoor workers, and even America’s food supply. Palo Alto native Jeff Goodell examines the topic in his recently released book: “The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet,” a New York Times best-seller.This conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity and length.Q:  What’s your response to folks who say “Well, i...

Tesla didn’t fix autopilot after grisly fatal crash, engineers say

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:53:41 GMT

Malathi Nayak and Sean O’Kane | BloombergTesla Inc. failed to fix limitations in its Autopilot system following a gruesome Florida crash that killed a driver in 2016, company engineers said in a family’s lawsuit over a very similar 2019 fatal collision that’s headed to a jury trial.The electric-car maker didn’t make any changes to its driver-assistance technology to account for crossing traffic in the nearly three years between two high-profile accidents that killed Tesla drivers whose cars slammed into the side of trucks, according to newly revealed testimony from multiple engineers.After years of touting autonomous driving as the way of the future, Tesla and Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk are under legal pressure from consumers, investors, regulators and federal prosecutors who are questioning whether the company has over-hyped its progress toward self-driving vehicles during the last eight years.Tesla also is in the cross-hairs of multiple investigations by the National Highwa...
