71.  
72.  
73.  
74. <p>"This was a devastating blow among the challenges of a business owner just trying to survive in hard times when Oakland is experiencing a decline in foot traffic and tourism plus a spate of bad press," German said.</p>

259. <p>The Los Angeles Innocence Project is representing Peterson. LAIP filed more than one thousand pages&nbsp;of discovery motions in San Mateo County court earlier this year requesting DNA testing, Modesto police records, and other evidence. <a href="https://www.kron4.com/news/california/scott-peterson-trial/innocence-project-scott-peterson-case-not-a-fishing-expedition/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">According to the Innocence Project, evidence that was allegedly mishandled or overlooked by investigators</a> could possibly exonerate Peterson.</p>

262.  
263. <p>A suspicious stolen orange van was torched near Peterson's home on the morning after his wife went missing, but police never connected it to the murder case, court documents state. Parts of the burned van contained blood and should be tested for DNA, according to LAIP.</p>

271. <p>Fladager and fellow special prosecutor David Harris filed an opposition motion on May 29 urging the judge to reject all requests from Peterson's defense team for DNA testing. Unless ordered by the judge, the District Attorney's Office said it will not hand over evidence from the case.</p>
272.  
273.  
274.  
275. <p>The convicted killer's newest legal maneuver was "cobbled together," prosecutors assert in their opposition motion. They wrote, "There is no valid new evidence. The testing for DNA would not raise a reasonability probability of a different outcome and would just subject the victims' family to grief and hardship. The People ask this court to deny all of the defendant’s requests for DNA testing. Defendant’s resulting theory is based entirely upon conjecture and speculation."</p>

Scott called Frey at 4:20 p.m. and she recorded the call for police. Scott told her that he was calling from Paris and described what the New Year’s Eve atmosphere in Paris was like. He said, "It’s pretty awesome. Fireworks there at the Eiffel Tower." Scott was not in Paris. Instead, he was attending the candlelight vigil in Modesto that evening.</p>

397. <p>January 1, 2003: Scott called Frey to wish her happy New Year one minute after midnight. She recorded their long phone conversation. "Amber asked the defendant when he was coming back home from Europe and the defendant responded that he was trying to reschedule his return trip for the end of January, but that he needed to travel to Guadalajara, Mexico, for a few days at the end of January and beginning of February," the DA's Office wrote. </p>

408.  
409. <p>The District Attorney's Office wrote, "Peterson’s lies in this case were extensive, presented to the jury through statements and captured recordings, previously reviewed by multiple courts and clearly preclude any support for additional DNA testing. Weeks prior to Laci’s disappearance, defendant Peterson told Amber Frey and her friend that he had 'lost his wife.' Peterson told some witnesses he was golfing when Laci went missing, then he told law enforcement he went fishing, but could not recall what fish he was trying to catch."</p>

421. <p>April 13 and 14, 2003: After a strong wind storm, Laci's remains washed up at the Point Isabel Regional Park, and Conner's body was found in the tidal flats on the shore of Richmond. Investigators suspect that anchors were used to keep her body from floating up. Her head and arms were missing from the remains. The only internal organ still within her body was the uterus.</p>
422.  
423.  
424.  
425. <p>A coroner testified at trial, "My thinking was that Conner had likely been protected by that uterus, and ultimately, with time in the water and with tidal action, the uterus was abraded open. At that time Conner was released and ended up washing ashore very shortly thereafter. My opinion is that when Laci was deposited in the marina environment, Conner was still within Laci."</p>

499. <p>(<a href="https://www.kron4.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">KRON</a>) -- The Oakland Ballers baseball team has submitted a letter to the Oakland City Council asking to repurpose around 5,000 disused bleacher seats currently sitting in the Oakland Coliseum parking lot. The seats were previously used by the Oakland Raiders during their tenure at the Coliseum between 1996 and 2019, according to the letter.</p>
500.  
501.  
502.  
503. <p>"Our understanding is that these seats have remained unused since 2019 and have been stored in one of the parking lots adjacent to the Coliseum," the letter from Ballers CEO Paul Freedman states. "Furthermore, we are aware that the Commission holds jurisdiction over the disposition of these seats."</p>
504.  
505.  
506.  
507. <p>The Ballers, an independent professional team that will play in the Pioneer League, are currently in the process of redeveloping Oakland's Raimondi Park for use as a home field. The Ballers home opener is just a few weeks off when the team hosts the Yolo High Wheelers on June 4.</p>

523. <p>While it's highly unlikely that the old Raiders seats would be utilized this season, the letter states that the team hopes to repurpose the seats for future seasons. In the meantime, temporary grandstands are going up for the team's inaugural season.</p>
524.  
525.  
526.  
527. <p>"As you know, we are currently in the process of developing infrastructure for our inaugural season at Oakland's historic Raimondi Park. Beginning June 4 of this year, Raimondi will serve as the home field for the Oakland Ballers baseball team," the letter states. "As we prepare for Year 1, we are at the same time looking ahead to our long-term future. We hope to continue playing at Raimondi Park after our inaugural season and are planning for what the ballpark will look like in subsequent seasons as we establish our permanent home."</p>
528.  
529.  
530.  
531. <p>"To that end, we think there is a great opportunity to repurpose these seats for our future seasons at Raimondi Park," the letter continues.</p>
532.  
533.  
534.  
535. <p>The Ballers have offered to purchase the seats at a rate of $45 per seat. "We are prepared to offer this amount for each functional seat, with any additional costs incurred in the removal process to be deducted accordingly," the letter states.</p>
536.  
537.  
538.  
539. <p>Freedman also says that the team checked with the <a href="https://www.oaklandrootssc.com/news/2024/04/05/stadium-and-facility-update/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oakland Roots Soccer Club, which plans to play home matches at the Coliseum</a> next season, and that the Roots don't have a use for them.</p>

997. <p>"I am greatly relieved that we were able to bring this protest to a peaceful end. We stand ready,<br>as always, to also meet with any students from any community who wish to present requests<br>and ideas for institutional action in support of their needs, interests and/or values," Christ said. </p>
998.  
999.  
1000.  
1001. <p>Christ said in the letter that she had four goals related to the encampment: </p>
1002.  
1003.  
1004.  
1005. <ul>
1006. <li>Provide for the physical safety of the campus community.</li>
1007.  
1008.  
1009.  
1010. <li>Prevent disruption of campus operations so that students can complete their courses and exams.</li>
1011.  
1012.  
1013.  
1014. <li>Enable commencement ceremonies to proceed as planned for the benefit of our graduates, their families, and friends.</li>
1015.  
1016.  
1017.  
1018. <li>Avoid any escalation of the situation on our campus.</li>
1019. </ul>
1020.  
1021.  
1022.  
1023. <p>She described the protest as nonviolent, "with a few notable exceptions," and said it did not disrupt teaching, learning or research at the school. </p>
1024.  
1025.  
1026.  
1027. <p>However, students from a "wide range of communities" have told Christ they do not feel safe on campus, she said.  </p>
1028.  
1029.  
1030.  
1031. <p>"I remain deeply concerned about the death and destruction of critical infrastructure in Gaza,<br>and about the ongoing impact on our university and its community. For those reasons, I<br>personally support the efforts of our government to promote a ceasefire, gain the release of<br>hostages, and initiate a process for negotiations that could bring the current conflict to a<br>permanent end," she said.</p>
1032.  
1033.  
1034.  
1035. <p>KRON4 has reached out to the UCB Divest Coalition and is awaiting a response. </p>
1036.  
1037.  
1038.  
1039. <p>The encampment at San Francisco State University will be cleared as well after that school reached an agreement with Students for Gaza, but at San Jose State, encampments remained up as of Tuesday night. </p>

In both cases, the victims were United States Postal Service workers, the Palo Alto Police Department said. </p>
1195.  
1196.  
1197.  
1198. <p>The first robbery happened at about 1:30 p.m. on Saturday in Belmont on the 700 block of Old Country Road. The Belmont Police Department said two suspects driving a black Infiniti with a stolen license plate robbed a mail carrier without a weapon, throwing the victim to the ground.</p>

1211.  
1212. <p>At 2:18 p.m., PAPD received a call from someone saying two suspicious males were loitering on the 800 block of Ilima Court. After seeing the witness, they got into a black Infiniti that matched the car described by Belmont police. Several minutes later, other witnesses called PAPD to say a mail carrier was robbed by two people on the 800 block of Ilima Court.</p>
1213.  
1214.  
1215.  
1216. <p>PAPD officers found the suspect vehicle driving northbound on El Camino Real near Matadero Avenue. They tried to stop the car, but it drove off at a high rate of speed, police said. </p>
1217.  
1218.  
1219.  
1220. <p>The chase ended when the car crashed into a tree in a private parking lot on the 3100 block of Hansen Way, police said. Both suspects were arrested after trying to run away.</p>
1221.  
1222.  
1223.  
1224. <p>Neither suspect had significant injuries. The car, which was determined to have been stolen from Alameda on May 1, was towed away. It had a license plate from a car that was stolen in Hayward on May 11, police said. </p>
1225.  
1226.  
1227.  
1228. <p>Police recovered two sets of postal keys from the reported victims in Belmont and Palo Alto. Two "realistic-looking replica handguns" were found at the scene as well, police said. </p>
1229.  
1230.  
1231.  
1232. <p>The suspects were identified as Trevionne Lamar Williams, 19, of Sacramento and an unidentified juvenile. Williams was jailed for assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse (one victim was elderly), vehicle theft and resisting arrest. He was out on bail from Sacramento County after being arrested for firearm-related crimes. The juvenile was taken to the Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall. </p>
1233.  
1234.  
1235.  
1236. <p>Belmont police, Palo Alto police and the USPS are investigating to see if the suspects can be linked to any other postal robberies. </p>

1336. <p>SAN FRANCISCO (<a href="https://www.kron4.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">KRON</a>) -- A San Francisco-based state assemblyman has introduced legislation that would ban individuals found mentally incompetent to stand trial from possessing firearms. The bill, Assembly Bill 2629, was introduced by Assemblymember Matt Haney (D-San Francisco).</p>
1337.  
1338.  
1339.  
1340. <p>The bill, according to a statement from Haney's office, enjoys strong bipartisan support and has already passed out of the Assembly Public Safety committee.</p>
1341.  
1342.  
1343.  
1344. <p>"The United States consistently remains one of the only countries with a persistent problem with gun violence," read a statement from Haney's office. "People in the United States are 25 times more likely to be killed in a gun homicide than those living in other developed countries."</p>

1356.  
1357.  
1358. <p>"If you aren't mentally competent enough to stand trial for a crime, then you aren't mentally competent enough to own a gun," said Haney. "It's common sense."</p>
1359.  
1360.  
1361.  
1362. <p>Under current law, if a court finds that a person's mental illness makes them incompetent to stand trial during felony criminal proceedings, the person is banned from owning a firearm until the court restores those rights. But according to Haney's office, this law is only triggered in felony cases.</p>
1363.  
1364.  
1365.  
1366. <p>In a misdemeanor case, individuals retain their right to own firearms, regardless of being deemed mentally incompetent.</p>
1367.  
1368.  
1369.  
1370. <p>"People suffering from debilitatingly severe mental illnesses should not have access to a weapon that can take their own life or the life of other people around them in seconds," said Haney. "That poses a serious threat to both our communities and to those people themselves."</p>
1371.  
1372.  
1373.  
1374. <p>AB2629 would clarify that firearm bans apply in any case where a person is found mentally incompetent to stand trial, regardless of whether they were charged with a misdemeanor or a felony.</p>

1412.  
1413.  
1414. <p>In late April, Williams received a package addressed to his name. The package contained a Black doll with a noose around its neck, written racist slurs, and a toy grenade.</p>
1415.  
1416.  
1417.  
1418. <p>Since then, Williams received a number of other items at his home, each "laden with threats, racial slurs, and demeaning racial imagery," Preston's office said. </p>
1419.  
1420.  
1421.  
1422. <p>On May 11, neighbors, Supervisor Preston, and other community leaders rallied with Williams' family and friends to call for action and stop these hate crimes. </p>
1423.  
1424.  
1425.  
1426. <p>“Terry is my neighbor and a beloved member of our community. I am disgusted that he and his family have been subjected to this intimidation campaign designed to make them, and any other Black person, feel unwelcome and afraid in their longtime home,” Preston said. </p>
1427.  
1428.  
1429.  
1430. <p>Preston believes the Fillmore and Western Addition neighborhoods, which include Alamo Square, have long been targeted by redevelopment, eviction, and displacement of Black community members, significantly impacting the demographics of the area. </p>
1431.  
1432.  
1433.  
1434. <p>Nevertheless, Williams has lived in Alamo Square for his entire life. The packages with threats against him and his family, however, are calling for them to leave the neighborhood because of their race. </p>
1435.  
1436.  
1437.  
1438. <p>“To see these kinds of threats directed at Black residents in our community is revolting and brings to mind cross-burnings and other acts of racial terror targeting Black residents,” Preston said. “Solving this case and protecting and supporting this family must be a top priority for our City.”</p>

1558. <p>(<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://kron4.com" target="_blank">KRON</a>) -- Microsoft and LinkedIn have teamed up to release a report on the use of artificial intelligence in workplaces worldwide, and the Bay Area has been designated as the most welcoming to machine learning. </p>
1559.  
1560.  
1561.  
1562. <p>Four out of five workers in the Bay Area reported relying on AI for daily use. Despite the worry of reliance on the software, AI experts say dependability on AI could actually help people become more employable, too.</p>

1575.  
1576. <p>"Not surprisingly, what the report shows is that the Bay Area is leading when it comes to thinking about using AI at work," Shawn Villaron, Vice President and General Manager of Powerpoint, told KRON4. </p>
1577.  
1578.  
1579.  
1580. <p>According to the report, over 80% of Bay Area workers report using generative AI at work, marking a 10% increase from the national average. </p>
1581.  
1582.  
1583.  
1584. <p>Villaron said Microsoft's survey received over 31,000 respondents from across 31 different countries. He and other colleagues started the annual report in 2020 when artificial intelligence saw a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/02/covid-19-increased-use-of-ai-here-s-why-its-here-to-stay/" target="_blank">rise in use</a> with more people working from home. </p>
1585.  
1586.  
1587.  
1588. <p>The pandemic aside, Microsoft <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://assets-c4akfrf5b4d3f4b7.z01.azurefd.net/assets/2024/05/2024-Work-Trend-Index-Annual-Report-Executive-Summary_BayArea_663b65ae6e2b1.pdf" target="_blank">reports</a> a near doubling in the use of generative AI in only the last six months, the report states. </p>
1589.  
1590.  
1591.  
1592. <p>"I think it's mostly due to awareness of AI and people having the opportunity to try different forms of AI," Villaron continued, claiming that Copilot users, Microsoft's generative AI software, summarized over 4.4 million email threads since its conception in 2021. </p>
1593.  
1594.  
1595.  
1596. <p>Despite the increase in awareness and improvements to technology, Villaron believes a large reason behind the increase in use comes down to being more employable.</p>
1597.  
1598.  
1599.  
1600. <p>"When you look at the data, research shows that 79% of people are doing this because it will broaden their job opportunities," Villaron said, commenting on how 8 of 10 Bay Area employers claim they would not hire someone without AI skills, the report said. </p>

1618. <p>The Bay Area might stand out as being the metro with the largest concentration of AI use in the workplace, but the report shows that <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/work-trend-index/ai-at-work-is-here-now-comes-the-hard-part" target="_blank">other metros</a> are quickly following suit. </p>
1619.  
1620.  
1621.  
1622. <p>In Atlanta, for example, 71% of their knowledge workers are already bringing generative AI to work. If you look at Houston, it's 73%. Austin, it's 71%. "So, while I think the Bay Area is ahead of the curve in many ways, this is also something that's not going to be local to the Bay Area," Villaron said. </p>
1623.  
1624.  
1625.  
1626. <p>Whether summarizing meetings or learning a new topic, Villaron says AI has transformed his life and the lives of those around him, no matter their background or profession. </p>

At approximately 10:45 a.m., a woman shopping at Coddingtown Center contacted police to report "suspicious, sexually motivated behavior" by a stranger, police said.</p>
1759.  
1760.  
1761.  
1762. <p>The woman informed police that she returned to her vehicle to find what looked like bodily fluid on the driver's side door handle. Looking around, she noticed a Caucasian man nearby recording her reaction on his phone. He then fled the area in a black Prius.</p>

1776. <p>The victim provided officers with the man's location and pointed out the vehicle to the first offices on the scene. Two Santa Rosa PD Downtown Enforcement Team officers conducted a traffic stop on the Prius.</p>
1777.  
1778.  
1779.  
1780. <p>Officers made contact with the driver, 42-year-old Michael Simmons of Santa Rosa. Simmons, police said, is currently on probation in Sonoma County for a conviction for committing a lewd act in public.</p>
1781.  
1782.  
1783.  
1784. <p>Further investigation into Monday's incident led to officers locating a used condom in Simmons' vehicle. Additional investigation suggested that Simmons "likely deposited ejaculate on the victim's vehicle and waited in the area to observe the victim's reaction," police said.</p>
1785.  
1786.  
1787.  
1788. <p>Simmons was arrested and booked into Sonoma County Jail for:</p>
1789.  
1790.  
1791.  
1792. <ul>
1793. <li>Vehicle tampering</li>

1802. </ul>
1803.  
1804.  
1805.  
1806. <p>In a prior incident, Simmons was sentenced by a Sonoma County judge for multiple incidents of misdemeanor indecent exposure committed while on parole. He was on parole for an unrelated felony conviction in 2013.</p>
1807.  
1808.  
1809.  
1810. <p>In 2020, police said, members of the community who witnessed Simmons' indecent exposure took to social media to try and identify him and warn others. An SRPD investigation identified Simmons as the offender in those incidents.</p>
1811.  
1812.  
1813.  
1814. <p>He was eventually convicted of five counts of indecent exposure and one count of attempted indecent exposure. The most recent incident is being investigated by the Santa Rosa PD Domestic Violence Assault Team.</p>

2073. <p>The changes to the county regulations are in response to public health data that show the increased use of e-cigarettes by Sonoma teenagers in high school. </p>
2074.  
2075.  
2076.  
2077. <p>In Sonoma County, 13% of 11th graders said they had used an e-cigarette, according to the Department of Health Services.</p>
2078.  
2079.  
2080.  
2081. <p>The devices, also known as vapes, can cause serious health implications, including contributing to detrimental inhalation patterns and heightened risks for youth's developing brains, according to medical researchers.</p>
2082.  
2083.  
2084.  
2085. <p>The recent ordinance aligns with other cities, such as Petaluma, Sebastopol and Windsor, which have also outlawed the sale of e-cigarettes and flavored tobacco.</p>
2086.  
2087.  
2088.  
2089. <p>Health concerns aside, the county believes the ordinance will also aid in limiting waste. </p>
2090.  
2091.  
2092.  
2093. <p>“Vaping devices account for 70 tons of waste in Sonoma County’s landfill. Removing these non-recyclable toxic devices will help to eliminate hazardous waste," Sonoma Supervisor Susan Gorin said. </p>
2094.  
2095.  
2096.  
2097. <p>Sonoma County’s ordinance will take effect 30 days after passing. </p>
2098.  
2099.  
2100.  
2101. <p>“By banning the sale of certain tobacco products that have pervaded youth culture, we can make it harder for children to access these dangerous products," Supervisor Lynda Hopkins, vice chair of the Board of Supervisors, said. </p>
2102.  
2103.  
2104.  
2105. <p>There are currently 78 licensed tobacco retailers in unincorporated Sonoma County, representing over 20% of the total tobacco retailers throughout the county, including cities, the county said. </p>

2126.  
2127.  
2128.  
2129. <p>Students who voluntarily vacate the encampment at Welch Field by 3 p.m. will face "no code of conduct repercussions for those who violated time, place, and manner restrictions," the letter states. However, for students who do not vacate the field by 3 p.m., "there will be no amnesty and the code of conduct process for time, place, and manner violations will commence immediately," the letter continues.</p>

2173. <p><em>"The university is continuing to prioritize communication, dialogue, and de-escalation with the protesters. Our conversations have been shaped by the expectation that protesters recognize the need to balance free expression with safety and respectful dialogue. We remain committed to continued dialogue and have not cut off conversation. The 3 p.m. May 14 deadline in which we asked students to voluntarily vacate Welch Field in exchange for amnesty refers to an internal disciplinary process led by the USF Office of Student Conduct. There are no plans to clear the encampment or involve law enforcement as long as the encampment is peaceful and nonviolent."</em></p>

2213. <p>From December 10, 2023, to April 17 this year, Ramirez and his group are set to have committed a series of thefts from Walgreens, Safeway, ZGO Perfumery, Smart &amp; Final, BevMo, and Lenscrafters, prosecutors said. </p>
2214.  
2215.  
2216.  
2217. <p>Throughout those series of thefts, Ramirez is said to have also vandalized property multiple times and to have used "the threat of force and fear" in three incidents, prosecutors said. </p>
2218.  
2219.  
2220.  
2221. <p>“Prolific, brazen, organized retail thieves will be vigorously prosecuted; there will be accountability, and perpetrators will face the consequences," Jenkins said. "My office will continue to partner with the San Francisco Police Department on this issue and do everything we can to identify, arrest and prosecute those responsible."</p>
2222.  
2223.  
2224.  
2225. <p>Ramirez was arraigned on two separate cases on May 13 and pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all allegations. </p>

2264.  
2265.  
2266.

2757. <p>DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. government's highway safety agency has opened another investigation of automated driving systems, this time into crashes involving Waymo's self-driving vehicles.</p>
2758.  
2759.  
2760.  
2761. <p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration posted documents detailing the probe on its website early Tuesday after getting 22 reports of Waymo vehicles either crashing or doing something that may have violated traffic laws.</p>
2762.  
2763.  
2764.  
2765. <p>In the past month, the agency has opened at least four investigations of vehicles that can either drive themselves or take on at least some driving functions as it appears to be getting more aggressive in regulating the devices.</p>
2766.  
2767.  
2768.  
2769. <p>In the probe of Waymo, which was once Google's self-driving vehicle unit, the agency said it has reports of 17 crashes and five other reports of possible traffic law violations. No injuries were reported.</p>
2770.  
2771.  
2772.  
2773. <p>In the crashes, the Waymo vehicles hit stationary objects such as gates, chains or parked vehicles. Some of the incidents happened shortly after the Waymo driving system behaved unexpectedly near traffic control devices, according to the documents.</p>
2774.  
2775.  
2776.  
2777. <p>Waymo said NHTSA plays an important role in road safety, and it will continue working with the agency “as part of our mission to become the world’s most trusted driver.”</p>
2778.  
2779.  
2780.  
2781. <p>The company said it makes over 50,000 weekly trips with riders in challenging environments. “We are proud of our performance and safety record over tens of millions of autonomous miles driven, as well as our demonstrated commitment to safety transparency,” the statement said.</p>
2782.  
2783.  
2784.  
2785. <p>Waymo, based in Mountain View, California, has been operating robotaxis without human safety drivers in Arizona and California. </p>
2786.  
2787.  
2788.  
2789. <p>Michael Brooks, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, said NHTSA's more aggressive actions show that autonomous vehicles may not be ready yet for public roads. </p>
2790.  
2791.  
2792.  
2793. <p>The agency's only enforcement power on autonomous vehicles, at present, is to open investigations and seek recalls, which it is doing, Brooks said. NHTSA has been criticized in the past for being slow to regulate Tesla and other companies that offer automated driving systems, but Brooks said things appear to have changed.</p>
2794.  
2795.  
2796.  
2797. <p>“Ultimately I think it's a good thing here that they're taking these steps, trying to figure out why these vehicles are acting the way they are," Brooks said.</p>
2798.  
2799.  
2800.  
2801. <p>NHTSA said it would investigate the 22 incidents involving Waymo's fifth generation driving system plus similar scenarios “to more closely assess any commonalities in these incidents.”</p>
2802.  
2803.  
2804.  
2805. <p>The agency said it understands that Waymo's automated driving system was engaged throughout each incident, or in some cases involving a test vehicle, a human driver disengaged the system just before an accident happened. </p>
2806.  
2807.  
2808.  
2809. <p>The probe will evaluate the system's performance in detecting and responding to traffic control devices, and in avoiding crashes with stationary and semi-stationary objects and vehicles, the documents said. </p>
2810.  
2811.  
2812.  
2813. <p>Since late April, NHTSA has opened investigations into collisions involving self-driving vehicles run by Amazon-owned Zoox, as well as partially automated driver-assist systems offered by Tesla and Ford. </p>
2814.  
2815.  
2816.  
2817. <p>In 2021 the agency ordered all companies with self-driving vehicles or partially automated systems to report all crashes to the government. The probes rely heavily on data reported by the automakers under that order.</p>
2818.  
2819.  
2820.  
2821. <p>NHTSA also is investigating General Motors' Cruise autonomous vehicle unit after getting reports that the vehicles may not have used proper caution around pedestrians. Cruise recalled its cars to update software after one of them dragged a pedestrian to the side of a San Francisco street in early October.</p>
2822.  
2823.  
2824.  
2825. <p>The agency also has questioned whether a recall last year of Tesla’s Autopilot driver-assist system was effective enough to make sure human drivers are paying attention. NHTSA said it ultimately found 467 crashes involving Autopilot resulting in 54 injuries and 14 deaths.</p>
2826.  
2827.  
2828.  
2829. <p>In the Ford investigation, the agency is looking into two nighttime crashes on freeways that killed three people.</p>
2830.  
2831.  
2832.  
2833. <p>The agency also pressured Tesla into recalling its “Full Self Driving” system last year because it can misbehave around intersections and doesn’t always follow speed limits.</p>
2834.  
2835.  
2836.  
2837. <p>Despite their names, neither Tesla's Autopilot nor its “Full Self Driving” systems can drive vehicles themselves, and the company says human drivers must be ready to intervene at all times.</p>
2838.  
2839.  
2840.  
2841. <p>In addition, NHTSA has moved to set performance standards for automatic emergency braking systems, requiring them to brake quickly to avoid pedestrians and other vehicles.</p>
2842.  
2843.  
2844.  
2845. <p>The standards come after other investigations involving automatic braking systems from Tesla,Honda and Fisker because they can brake for no reason, increasing the risk of a crash.</p>
2846.  
2847.  
2848.  
2849. <p>In a 2022 interview, then NHTSA Administrator Steven Cliff said the agency would step up scrutiny of automated vehicles, and the agency recently has taken more action. NHTSA has been without a Senate-confirmed administrator since Cliff left for the California Air Resources board in August of 2022.</p>

2928. <p>SAN FRANCISCO (<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.kron4.com/" target="_blank">KRON</a>) – Over the weekend, customers at a San Francisco cafe stopped a man from taking off with a woman’s laptop.</p>
2929.  
2930.  
2931.  
2932. <p>The San Francisco Police Department says a man ran into a Sana’a Cafe, grabbed a laptop and ran. But a man named Henry Flynn was right outside. He tackled the alleged thief to the ground and held him there until police arrived.</p>
2933.  
2934.  
2935.  
2936. <p>"It literally felt like everyone inside the cafe was screaming,” Flynn told KRON4. </p>

2949.  
2950. <p>Flynn was enjoying a cup of coffee outside the cafe, located at 199 New Montgomery St., Saturday evening when he says he saw a man running out with a laptop. Flynn works as a security guard, so he says it felt natural to take matters into his own hands.&nbsp;</p>
2951.  
2952.  
2953.  
2954. <p>"I saw someone running out with a hood on, and a laptop in their right hand almost like a football player would run with a football,” he said. “I had the ability to use my left arm to nudge the guy. I think the momentum of him running and my nudging him made him stumble towards one of the cars that was parked. Then I jumped on top of him."</p>
2955.  
2956.  
2957.  
2958. <p>Flynn says other customers jumped in to help.&nbsp;</p>
2959.  
2960.  
2961.  
2962. <p>"I was able to tell people ‘You grab an arm, you grab an arm, you grab a leg,’ and a leg to subdue him until the cops came,” Flynn remembered.&nbsp;</p>
2963.  
2964.  
2965.  
2966. <p>A video (included above) from Frisco Live 415, shows San Francisco police arresting 19-year-old Zachary Morris-Dadzie of Suisun City and Flynn talking with officers afterward about what happened. </p>
2967.  
2968.  
2969.  
2970. <p>Flynn learned from police that the man had snatched the laptop from a woman sitting inside. The laptop was returned to the rightful owner, thanks to Flynn and others.</p>
2971.  
2972.  
2973.  
2974. <p>Flynn said his phone’s screen cracked while he was apprehending the man, and the victim and her husband offered to Venmo him for the repair.&nbsp;</p>
2975.  
2976.  
2977.  
2978. <p>As video of the incident <a href="https://twitter.com/friscolive415/status/1789464508320379320?s=46&amp;t=Zx_mNUDyp7XTlVgDYWCsMA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">circulates on social media</a>, people are calling Flynn a hero, but he humbly disagrees. </p>
2979.  
2980.  
2981.  
2982. <p>"Most people want to do the right thing. It just takes one person to really get ahead of it and everyone else will follow,” he said.&nbsp;</p>
2983.  
2984.  
2985.  
2986. <p>Flynn is a fourth-generation San Franciscan who is fundraising to run for mayor this November.&nbsp;</p>
2987.  
2988.  
2989.  
2990. <p>"I see myself representing the silenced majority of the city – the working class, the bread and butter of the city. I think what we need right now is the same thing that happened at that cafe where everyone came together. We need that citywide. We need everyone coming together who’s invested in the heart and soul of the city,” he said.&nbsp;</p>
2991.  
2992.  
2993.  
2994. <p>Morris-Dadzie was booked into jail and charged with grand theft and second-degree burglary.</p>

3015.  
3016.  
3017.  
3018. <p>For nearly 50 years, the San Jose Museum of Quilts &amp; Textiles has showcased art from all over the region and around the world. But now its time could be coming to an end.&nbsp;</p>
3019.  
3020.  
3021.  
3022. <p>In a row of other museums along the south side of San Jose’s downtown, it may be easy to miss, but for museum director Kris Jensen, his museum hits above its weight class.</p>

3035.  
3036. <p>“Coming here to this museum you can see the true extent of what can be done with fibers. We have an incredible history of fiber arts here in the Bay,” Jensen said. </p>
3037.  
3038.  
3039.  
3040. <p>The museum is down to what Jensen calls a “skeleton crew,” which could force it to shut down.</p>
3041.  
3042.  
3043.  
3044. <p>“Due to the pandemic, we just haven't been able to raise the resources we need to operate like we want to,” he said.&nbsp;</p>
3045.  
3046.  
3047.  
3048. <p>He says the museum needs $300,000 by this summer. It is halfway to its goal but has a ways to go.&nbsp;</p>
3049.  
3050.  
3051.  
3052. <p>“The funding we are asking for is to fund the staff needed to operate the museum,” he said. “We also have to maintain a collection of 1,500 pieces, and that costs money.”</p>
3053.  
3054.  
3055.  
3056. <p>The hope is if the museum can collect enough funds from the community, it can create an endowment and stay open for years to come.</p>
