It’s the peak of Atlantic hurricane season. And there hasn’t been a single hurricane.

The Atlantic is now nearing a record for the latest first hurricane.

How unusual is this quiet — and will it last?

Robotaxis create serious problems in big, dense cities, but they’d be a godsend in small towns and rural areas—huge swaths of America that the AV industry is ignoring.

Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy.

It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it.
