Apple has abandoned its effort to make an autonomous electric vehicle. We’ll get into why the company’s venture flopped and what it says about the supply chain for electric vehicle parts. Then, we’ll explain how a Texas federal judge’s ruling is upending race-based aid for businesses. And, guest host Sabri Ben-Achour tells us how he created a flower. Plus, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty!
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “Federal judge in Texas rules that minority-business aid must be offered to all races” from The Houston Chronicle
- “Retailers take on Amazon Prime with new subscription services” from Marketplace
- “The IRS pilots its free tax-filing program” from Marketplace
- “Oscar Watch Parties” from LAist
