Experts from Witherite Law Group say Autonomous Trucks are Not Ready for Texas Roads
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Attorney and truck safety advocate Amy Witherite warns that autonomous trucks still face serious safety gaps—acknowledged by their own developers, confirmed by independent studies, and underscored by industry experts. Waabi CEO Raquel Urtasun has called her company's simulator-based approach 'provably safe,' saying real-world testing in the millions of miles 'is nowhere near what would be required to provide the rigorous evidence necessary for a comprehensive safety case.' Professor Philip Koopman of Carnegie Mellon University, one of the world's leading autonomous vehicle safety researchers, cautions that true safety requires ultra-reliability: 'Safety isn't about working right most of the time. Safety is all about the rare case where it doesn't work properly. It has to work 99.999999999% of the time. AV companies are still working on the first few nines, with a bunch more nines to go.' Witherite says those two statements highlight the gap between marketing promises and operational reality: 'Even the most advanced companies admit they're far from testing at the scale needed to prove safety under real-world conditions. Experts are telling us this technology is still working out the basics—so putting it on Texas highways is reckless.' This comes as Aurora Innovation begins nighttime runs of its self-driving trucks on the Dallas–Houston route—still with a human observer in the cab 'though no manual intervention is required'—and Texas A&M Transportation Institute warns that AI-driven systems remain limited by their programming, sensor range, and narrowly defined operational design domains. Meanwhile, FMCSA's 2023 Pocket Guide to Large Truck and Bus Statistics shows Texas is not only the deadliest state for large truck crashes in raw numbers—with 821 fatalities in 2021—but also has a per-mile fatality rate of 0.29 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, well above the U.S. average of 0.19. While a few states have even higher per-mile rates, Texas still ranks in the higher-risk tier nationally and far exceeds states like California despite having a smaller population. In 2023 alone, Texas recorded 650 deadly large-truck crashes—52% more than California, the next highest state. 'Texas can't afford to be the test track for unproven technology,' Witherite said. 'We already have the highest truck crash fatality numbers in the country and a safety rate worse than the national average. Until autonomous trucks can meet the extreme reliability experts demand, they have no place in live traffic.' Amy Witherite is the founding attorney of Witherite Law Group and a nationally recognized traffic safety advocate. She has represented hundreds of families affected by trucking collisions.

KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Angel Oak Mortgage Trust 2025-9 (AOMT 2025-9)
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to eight classes of mortgage-backed certificates from Angel Oak Mortgage Trust 2025-9 (AOMT 2025-9), a $288.7 million non-prime RMBS transaction. The underlying collateral, comprised of 567 residential mortgages, is characterized by a significant concentration of loans underwritten using alternative income documentation. All the loans are either classified as non-qualified mortgages (52.6%) or exempt (47.4%) from the Ability-to-Repay/Qualified Mortgage rule due to being originated for non-consumer loan purposes.

BlackRock's Rick Rieder says CPI gives Fed justification for a half-point cut in September
Rick Rieder, BlackRock's chief investment officer for global fixed income, is sticking with his call for a jumbo rate cut from the Federal Reserve next month after new inflation data showed less-than-expected price pressures. "We expect the Fed to begin cutting rates in September, and it could be justified cutting the Funds rate by 50 basis points, to get it more aligned with longer-term inflationary expectations and some of the productivity enhancement we are seeing across multiple industries," Rieder said Tuesday in a note to clients. (1 basis point equals 0.01%.) A half-point cut in September would mirror the Fed's move in September 2024 when it began the easing cycle with a big rate reduction. His comments came after data showed the consumer price index increased a seasonally adjusted 0.2% for the month and 2.7% on a 12-month basis. The year-over-year rise was softer than a Dow Jones estimate of 2.8%. Rieder, a widely followed investor on Wall Street, had brought up the possibility of a half-point cut after July's jobs report released Friday signaled a dramatic slowdown in the labor market. BlackRock manages $3.1 trillion in fixed income assets on behalf of clients. "Today's inflation report was a bit stronger than we have seen over the prior few months, but lower than many have feared," Rieder said. "We are still heartened by the trajectory of some core areas of inflation that are running at lower levels than in the prior few years." Excluding food and energy, the core CPI increased 0.3% for the month and 3.1% from a year ago, compared with the forecasts for 0.3% and 3%. The monthly core rate was the biggest increase since January while the annual rate was the highest since February.
