Car makers ask US to slow down on allowing self-driving cars

Government shouldn’t rush out ill-conceived guidance, industry group says.

As US regulators consider issuing guidance allowing the sale of self-driving cars, an industry group representing automakers has urged the government to take things slow.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in January that within six months it intended to "develop guidance on the safe deployment and operation of autonomous vehicles." The agency is working with officials in states and the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators to develop a "model state policy" that would eventually lead to a consistent policy for the whole country.

With that effort in progress, the NHTSA held a public hearing Friday to get different viewpoints. Paul Scullion, safety manager at the Association of Global Automakers, warned that issuing guidance instead of writing regulations could allow dangerous cars on the road. "While this process is often time-consuming, these procedural safeguards are in place for valid reasons," Scullion said, according to the Associated Press.

Chariot for Women, an Uber-like service for females, set to launch this month

Sorry dudes: This car service will only pick up women, trans women, and children.

A new Boston-area startup hopes to be a new on-demand ride service that will only offer rides to women, trans women, and children of any gender under 13.

Chariot for Women, which was founded by a husband-and-wife team from Charlton, Massachusetts, is set to launch nationwide on April 19. Its pricing will be much more similar to traditional taxi fares, with a base charge and a per mile rate—and with no surge pricing.

The company says that it is focusing on safety and will only employ female drivers, who will have background checks run by Safer Places. All prospective drivers must also pass Massachusetts’ Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI), according to TechCrunch.

Google Fiber is no longer offering free Internet service to any customer who wants it in Kansas City.

While Google Fiber is most famous for its $70-per-month gigabit plan, customers could also get slow Internet—5Mbps downloads and 1Mbps uploads—without paying a monthly service fee. The plan required only a $300 construction fee that could be paid up-front or in 12 monthly installments of $25 each.

But that plan is now gone in Kansas City, Re/code reported yesterday. The free offer was still online as recently as Wednesday, but the current offers now begin at $50 a month for symmetrical 100Mbps service.

Netflix Disappears From MPAA’s ‘Legal’ Movie Search Engine

Less than two years ago the MPAA launched its search engine WhereToWatch, offering viewers a database of alternatives to piracy. However, those who try the search engine today will notice that results for Netflix, the largest entertainment platform in the United States, are no longer listed. Is there a feud going on behind the scenes?

netflixq During the fall of 2014 Hollywood launched WhereToWatch, its very own search engine for movies and TV-shows.

The site enables people to check if and where the latest entertainment is available, hoping to steer U.S. visitors away from pirate sites.

The launch received a ton of favorable press. It was soon followed up by another press release highlighting some of the positive responses, including the following comment from The Institute for Policy Innovation.

“Instead of scrolling first through Netflix and then through your cable video on demand offerings, WheretoWatch.com is a one-stop shop to see what options are available to you to get to the specific movie or TV show you’re looking for.”

However, fast forward a few months and Netflix has suddenly disappeared from the WhereToWatch results. Quite embarrassingly, this means that the search engine doesn’t index the most widely used TV and movie streaming platform.

Searching for the Tarantino classic “Pulp Fiction,” for example, shows a wide variety of streaming options but not Netflix.

The problem gets even worse for content that’s exclusively available on Netflix, such as the popular TV-shows House of Cards and Better Call Saul. Or the recent movie “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday.”

The film, which ironically was promoted in an article on WhereToWatch, is not available online according to the WhereToWatch results.

Over the past week TorrentFreak asked the MPAA, WhereToWatch and Netflix for a comment on the issue, but none of the parties have responded.

What makes the disappearance even more intriguing is the fact that GoWatchIt, the site that WhereToWatch uses for its search results, does list Netflix as a viewing option for the example above.

Could it be that, for some reason, the MPAA has decided to turn off the Netflix option? Or perhaps Netflix objected to being included in the results?

The latter may seem unlikely, but there are other search engines that have Netflix issues as well. FindanyFilm, the British version of WhereToWatch, doesn’t list any Netflix content either.

“We get all our data directly from our retail partners and unfortunately Netflix don’t currently work with us,” the company told us when we asked about the peculiar absence.

Whatever the reason, the MPAA might want to make Netflix results a priority for WhereToWatch. After all, a legal movie and TV search engine without the most popular paid video streaming service in the world is not going to be very useful.
