New CA Law Cuts UBER/Lyft Crash Coverage By 70% -

Earlier this year, one of the most consequential changes to California rideshare law in a decade took effect with almost no public attention. Senate Bill 371, signed into law in late 2025, cut the uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage that Uber and Lyft must provide during a ride from $1,000,...

Electric bicycles have changed the way California families move.

Why Your Car's Airbag May Be a Ticking Time Bomb -

Who's Watching the Automakers? What Federal Safety Cuts Mean for California Drivers -

We tend to take for granted that someone is watching the automakers. When a dangerous part makes it into millions of vehicles, we assume a federal agency will find it, investigate it, and compel a recall before too many people get hurt. That assumption has always rested on the capacity of the Nation...
