Google’s Self-Driving Cars Tested This Summer
June 27, 2015
Google Inc will begin testing self-driving cars of its own design on public roads this summer, but they will have steering wheels and brakes, which is not what the company described a year ago. Engineers will operate 25 prototype vehicles, which use the same software as Google’s self-driving Lexus RX450h sport utility vehicles that have been in operation for several years, the company said on Friday. When the Internet search company announced a year ago that it planned to build a fleet of self-driving...

June 26, 2015
While I never quite know what to make of "in-house" promotional publications, the current issue of the Harvard Law School alumni magazine (Spring 2015) includes an interesting piece on The New Empiricists at HLS. In an introductory note, Dean Martha Minow notes that HLS is "increasing" its "investment in empirical research." The small cadre on the HLS faculty engaged in empirical research includes Jim Greiner whose work includes interesting efforts to randomize field experiments (previously discussed...

3 White Collar Jobs That Robots Are Already Mastering
June 20, 2015
Over the past 20 years, we’ve seen plenty of blue collar jobs outsourced to machines — from auto assembly to customer service.

That’s the argument made by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Martin Ford in a new book, “Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future.” *...

June 18, 2015
In a ruling that fuels a long-simmering debate over some of Silicon Valley’s fastest-growing technology companies and the work they are creating, the California Labor Commissioner’s Office said that a driver for the ride-hailing service Uber should be classified as an employee, not an independent contractor. The ruling ordered Uber to reimburse Barbara Ann Berwick $4,152.20 in expenses and other costs for the roughly eight weeks she worked as an Uber driver last year. While Uber has long positioned...
