Who's in the driving seat? Safety concerns over San Francisco's driverless taxis

INSIDE THE AMERICAS © FRANCE 24

If you happen to be in San Francisco and need to take a taxi, you might be in for a bit of a surprise. Some 600 driverless taxis are now in operation. But even in a city famous for being at the forefront of technology, these cabs are still hitting a few bumps in the road. Our France 2 colleagues take a closer look.

Fifteen months ago, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark legislation that had made access to an abortion a federal right. Since then, 14 states have passed a full ban on abortion, with many more introducing tough new restrictions as well. FRANCE 24's Fanny Chauvin and Jessica Le Masurier report on the challenges women face in these anti-abortion states.

Finally, ahead of next year's US presidential election, polls show that the issue of age has become a major concern for voters. President Joe Biden is 80 years old and the leading Republican candidate, former president Donald Trump, is just three years younger. But it's not just the presidential candidates who are at the centre of the debate over age in US politics. FRANCE 24's Monte Francis tells us more.
