Self-driving robotaxis and delivery robots are already on America’s streets. Scaling them up, however, will require a significant amount of money.Investors got a reminder of that this week when Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash reported quarterly earnings. A common topic was each company’s plans for autonomous vehicles — and, to varying degrees, how much they’ll need to invest to make them common sights across the US.The most notable example came when delivery company DoorDash reported results on Wednesday. It said it plans to spend “several hundred million dollars more” than previously planned on key initiatives, including its autonomous delivery technology, in…

Hollywood is falling in love with micro dramas, with Fox and other industry players moving to capitalize on the made-for-mobile format.The flicks, sometimes called “verticals” or “mini dramas,” originated in Asia and bear little resemblance to prestige Hollywood fare. Designed to be watched in one- to two-minute episodes on mobile apps like ReelShort and DramaBox, they’re more like gaming apps, with cliffhangers meant to hook viewers and get them to pay to keep watching. They’re low-budget and usually quite cheesy, with titles like “Fake Married to My Billionaire CEO” and “Divorced at the Wedding Day.”The audience and money in micro…

Coffee is a growing American pastime. Some two-thirds of American adults, 66%, drink coffee daily, up 7% from 2020, according to the National Coffee Association, a trade group.Coffee shops are under pressure, however, thanks to rising costs and growing competition. Even Starbucks, the nation’s largest coffee chain, has been feeling the pain. The Seattle coffee giant in September announced plans to lay off about 900 non-retail workers and close about 1% of its North American stores amid declining same-store sales.Last week, a Florida coffee chain known for its unusual flavors and Instagram-ready “coffee flights” filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection…

By early Thursday afternoon, cheers celebrating Goldman Sachs’ newly promoted managing directors had been mounting for hours throughout the firm’s London office.Paulo Costa heard the trader across from him — whose last name starts with an X — take the call he had been hoping for. He presumed the calls would be rolled out in alphabetical order, and thought, “Oh, hang on, this is starting to feel a little strange,” he told Business Insider.At last, the call came: he’d been named managing director — and, at 29, the youngest in this year’s class.Costa — an executive director overseeing dividend trading…

Last month, hundreds of people lined up at The Row’s Sample Sale — or paid linesitters as much as $40 an hour to do so — for the privilege of spending $130 on a plain white T-shirt designed by Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.That price, more than 10 times the price of a classic Hanes V-neck, is a steal for an item from The Row. The brand’s classic Tori tee — a 100% midweight cotton shirt with a ripped neckline — typically costs $520.If a $130 shirt didn’t beg the question, a $520 one does: What makes one of a…

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Guy Diedrich, Cisco’s global innovation officer, based in Austin. The following has been edited for length and clarity.I began my career as a programmer. I started my own software company right out of college, did a master’s and Ph.D., and then came back and joined academia.During my time in academia, we began to see a decline in the humanities. Students wanted to take engineering, the sciences, or anything STEM. I found that a bit alarming. I left academia in 2014, but there’s been a 24% drop in interest in the humanities…

US shoppers and retailers used to go all out for Black Friday. Things were reaching a fever pitch until 2020, when the pandemic interrupted the trend.
