Morning Bulletin: Dawn of self-driving cars, BBC Radio One adopts phone first strategy & Kiefer Sutherland returns to ABC

"This morning brings fresh predictions of the dawn of self-driving cars with Lyft president John Zimmer expecting the technology to account for a majority of rides as soon as 2021. Elsewhere we look at how BBC Radio One is to take a leaf out of Netflix's playbook and what the return of Kiefer Sutherland means to broadcaster ABC."

"Self-driving cars are set to account for the 'majority' of rides as early as 2021 according to Lyft president John Zimmer, a shift which could herald the end of personal car ownership as early as 2025 in major US cities. The UK is 'more likely than ever' to lose its financial passport, meaning London based banks would lose their right to trade freely with the other 27 EU countries, according to Jens Weidmann - Germany's top central banker."

"Donald Trump has come under fire from the great and the good of the American TV industry after Emmy host Jimmy Kimmel jokingly pointing the finger of blame at the reality TV show star turned politician's rise at the door of Mark Burnett, the producer who hired Trump for The Apprentice. T witter is on the receiving end of a lawsuit for 'misleading' investors by issuing 'materially false' statements in advance of a stock price crash last summer which burned many shareholders."

Lyft president John Zimmer predicts self-driving cars could account for a majority of rides by 2021, potentially ending personal car ownership in major US cities by 2025. Facebook says it still serves ads to users running Ad Block Plus after rewriting its code to circumvent the patch. Facebook Live is framed as a challenger to traditional TV and a competitor to Snapchat and YouTube. Jens Weidmann warns the UK may lose its financial passport, which could prompt banks to relocate to the continent. Twitter faces a lawsuit alleging it misled investors. BBC Radio One plans a phone-first, on-demand strategy to boost listeners.
