Autonomous vehicles

JLG: “Let’s get this right and not rush Waymo legislation this year.”

By Prince Of Petworth

Ward 4 Councilmember and the presumptive next Mayor Janeese Lewis George wrote yesterday on her X:

“DC is facing a jobs crisis.

Rushing the legalization of autonomous vehicles is irresponsible given the anticipated AI-related job displacement and disruptions that put countless workers at risk.

DC must be a leader in welcoming new technology while supporting workers and prioritizing safety.

Let’s get this right and not rush Waymo legislation this year.”

Stay tuned…

My team and I are preparing to tackle this problem head-on, because we deserve safe and clean streets.”

Anna shares the photo above, shudder, she sent to JLG from Petworth: “the neighbors have called 311 on a weekly basis, none of that is captured in the “tracker,” nothing has been done and they keep getting bigger and bigger.” (more…)

Event

Vocal Arts DC Presents: Matthew Polenzani and Ken Noda

Event location

La Maison Française at the French Embassy

4101 Reservoir Road NW

Washington, District Of Columbia 20007

Add to Calendar

Tenor Matthew Polenzani and pianist Ken Noda bring their celebrated artistry to an intimate and searching evening of song at the French Embassy.

Opening with Franz Schubert’s Schwanengesang, the composer’s final and perhaps most profound gift to the song repertoire. This cycle, whose title evokes the legendary swan’s last song before death, moves through landscapes of longing, loss, and transcendence, setting texts by Heine and Rellstab with visionary intensity. Together, Polenzani and Noda explore every shade of this journey, a collaboration illuminating both the aching vulnerability and the quiet, inexorable beauty that make Schwanengesang an enduring pinnacle of song.
