Self-driving cars – they’ve hogged a large portion of the news cycle lately. Indeed, earlier this week, Gov. Gavin Newsom made headlines when he vetoed a bill that would have banned autonomous vehicles (AVs) from operating in the state of California.

Just weeks ago, on Sept. 9, Apple launched its first-ever iPhone built for AI: the iPhone 16. Initial reception has been mixed. Some folks loved the updated camera and new capabilities.

Earlier this afternoon, Apple (AAPL) unveiled its latest iPhone model to the world. Though, for its part, the world was largely unimpressed.
