Thursday Morning What's Up: Waymos to Hit Market Street Next Week
Briefly

Market Street below 10th Street will reopen to Waymo vehicles and Uber and Lyft black cars, with Uber and Lyft limited to an off-peak pilot after a mayoral reversal. A San Jose bus driver was reportedly slashed three times following a confrontation; the suspect was later arrested. A bank teller in Alameda thwarted a robbery by not complying with a threatening note, and the suspect left. A Santa Rosa man, Peni Cere, was arrested for an alleged sexual assault while posing as a police officer and threatening ICE. A Delta 737 experienced a flap separation midflight. A federal jury convicted Jinchao "Patrick" Wei of espionage, and a New York appeals court tossed a $500 million civil penalty against the Trump organization.
Starting Tuesday, Waymo vehicles and Uber and Lyft black cars will be permitted back on the mostly car-free section of Market Street below 10th Street. For Uber and Lyft, this will be a pilot program during off-peak hours only, after an April decision by Mayor Daniel Lurie to walk back the fully car-free policy.

The flap of a Delta Airlines 737 jet broke off while flying from Orlando to Austin on Tuesday.
