The California Gig Workers Union, which represents rideshare drivers, has filed a formal complaint against Waymo at the California Public Utilities Commission over the transportation of minors. We know SF parents have been using Waymo to transport their unaccompanied kids, deeming it safer than rideshares, and the union says that Waymo is now knowingly violating the conditions of its operating permit.

The driver was apparently trying to pass a slower car and launched, at high speed, off the off-ramp at the Isabel Avenue exit.

IntroductionSchizophrenia requires sustained treatment to prevent relapse and maintain functional stability. Poor adherence to oral antipsychotics is common and increases the risk of relapse and rehospitalization. Long-acting injectable antipsychotics, such as paliperidone palmitate 3-month formulation (PP3M), have been developed to improve adherence and clinical outcomes; however, evidence on clinical factors influencing treatment continuation and concomitant medication use in real-world settings remains limited. This post hoc analysis explored treatment continuation and its associated factors in Japanese patients with schizophrenia receiving PP3M, including reasons for discontinuation, mortality, and changes in concomitant medications.MethodsData from a multicenter, prospective post-marketing surveillance in Japan were used. Patients stabilized on paliperidone palmitate 1-month formulation for ≥4 months were transitioned to PP3M. Treatment continuation was assessed using Kaplan–Meier analysis, and factors associated with discontinuation were evaluated using multivariable Cox regression analysis. Mortality rates and treatment-related standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated, and concomitant medication patterns were analyzed descriptively.ResultsA total of 891 patients were included. The previously reported 12-month treatment continuation rate was 84.7%. Patients without concomitant medications had significantly higher continuation rates than those with concomitant medications (85.3% versus 76.8%, P = 0.001). The lowest starting dose of PP3M (175 mg) was a significant risk factor for discontinuation (hazard ratio 1.90, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12, 3.21). The treatment-related mortality was 3.94 per 1,000 person-years (95% CI 1.07, 10.09). The treatment-related SMR for the total population was 0.95 (95% CI 0.02, 1.89). Concomitant medication and benzodiazepine equivalent dose remained stable (treatment start, 35.79 mg; treatment end, 35.94 mg).ConclusionsPP3M demonstrated high treatment continuation in Japanese patients with schizophrenia, particularly those without concomitant medications. The lowest PP3M starting dose of 175 mg was associated with an increased risk of treatment discontinuation, underscoring the importance of individualized dosing strategies. Stable concomitant medication use supports symptomatic stability and the feasibility of PP3M monotherapy. These findings highlight the potential of PP3M to reduce pharmacologic burden and support long-term management of schizophrenia.Clinical trial registrationhttps://center6.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000047973, identifier UMIN000042033

IntroductionThe growing demand for earlier diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders has boosted critical assessment of artificial intelligence (AI) as a complementary tool for clinical decision-making.MethodsThis umbrella review aimed to synthesize the available evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the use of AI to diagnose during childhood any neurodevelopmental disorder [autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intellectual disability, communication disorders, developmental coordination disorder, and specific learning disorders]. A systematic search was conducted on the Web of Science, PsycINFO, and PubMed, covering studies published from January 2015 to August 2025 and available in any language.ResultsOf the 148 records identified, 64 studies were included based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. ASD (n = 31) and ADHD (n = 14) were the most frequently examined conditions in which AI was applied for diagnostic purposes. To a lesser extent, it was applied to specific learning disorders (n = 5) and other developmental disorders (intellectual disability and communication disorders, jointly addressed along with other diagnoses, n = 9). The most employed AI models were machine learning (support vector machines and artificial neural networks) and particularly deep learning (such as convolutional neural networks). These models were applied to diverse data modalities, such as neuroimaging (n = 59 studies), electrophysiological (n = 19), clinical/sociodemographic (n = 15), and motion/sensor-based data (n = 11). Overall, these AI models achieved diagnostic accuracy levels ranging from 66% (based on head/facial/eye movements) to 99% (based on neuroimaging, voice, motion, and sensors). However, the methodological quality of most studies was rated as critically low according to the AMSTAR-2 criteria (80%), while only 5% of studies achieved high quality levels (focused on ASD and ADHD).ConclusionAI shows promising potential for supporting biomarker identification and diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders. However, future clinical implementation still requires methodologically rigorous research addressing current limitations: insufficient external validation, lack of standardization in data collection and model development, as well as reporting inconsistencies.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/view/CRD420251110825, identifier CRD420251110825.
