The 00:06:28.509 --> 00:06:30.850 incidents in Austin raise questions about how 00:06:30.850 --> 00:06:34.430 self -driving cars learn and adapt to their surroundings. 00:06:35.269 --> 00:06:37.930 One of the purported advantages of self -driving 00:06:37.930 --> 00:06:40.949 car technology is that every car can learn from 00:06:40.949 --> 00:06:45.189 one vehicle's mistakes. Waymo states, the Waymo 00:06:45.189 --> 00:06:47.290 driver learns from the collective experiences 00:06:47.290 --> 00:06:50.589 gathered across our fleet, including previous 00:06:50.589 --> 00:06:54.730 hardware generations.

In business news, 00:07:24.970 --> 00:07:27.970 Applebee's restaurant closures are affecting 00:07:27.970 --> 00:07:31.550 several locations after a major franchisee went 00:07:31.550 --> 00:07:35.949 bankrupt.
