Are technology features in new cars making drivers more complacent behind the wheel?One psychiatrist is raising concerns about choosing to have the latest technology versus staying focused, and thus safer."Some of the technology seems to be added to cars just for the sake of technology and not with a lot of thought process into how it's going to change the behavior of driving and the skills required to drive," said Dr. Vatsal Thakkar, a clinical assistant professor at NYU.Thakkar believes that modern automated technology could cause drivers to become less aware of their surroundings. He even thinks drivers should start driving cars with manual transmissions so that all focus would be on the road."Driving a stick shift vehicle is one of the purest forms of the marriage of man and machine," Thakkar said.According to AAA's annual automated vehicle survey, drivers who have advanced driver assistance systems are 68 percent more likely to trust the feature than drivers who don't have them.But Michael Formanowicz, the Manager of AAA's driving department in Amherst, New York, said that while these features help you spot trouble earlier — like lane departure assistance or blind spot detection — it's still up to the driver to take the necessary corrective action."All of a sudden, the lane departure warning goes off, you've still got to be able to guide that car back into your lane," he said.Formanowicz said motorists need to have a better understanding of their vehicles than just what each feature does.AAA's survey shows that the automatic emergency breaking feature, which is in 93 percent of new cars, has 40 names.Andrew Streit of Steven's Driving School in western New York said while these features are a huge help to drivers, they should never take the place of basic driving skills."The back up cameras and the lane changing censors and things like that, it's a lot of complacency where people feel like they don't have to pay attention as much as they probably should," he said. "People still need to stay up on their regular driving functionality." 2085

Apple on Monday quietly announced new versions of the iPad Air and iPad mini, the company's first refresh for those products in years.Typically Apple creates fanfare around the arrival of new hardware. But this year it wants the focus of its upcoming spring press event to be all about its rumored streaming service. That's why the company let the world know about its new iPads in a press release.The iPad Air comes with a bigger 10.5-inch display (starting at 9), and the iPad mini has the same 7.9-inch screen (starting at 9). The devices come with an Apple Pencil and a processor that's three times faster than the previous models.The iPad mini will mostly serve as an entertainment device, likely to attract students and teenagers, while the lightweight iPad Air replaces the 10.5-inch iPad Pro in Apple's online store.Apple was widely expected to tease the iPads ahead of its spring event on March 25. But the press release was a surprise."Apple wants to get the iPad out of the way so it can hold its first event truly focused on streaming," Lauren Guenveur, senior research analyst at told CNN Business. "If Apple announced new Pads, it would turn into a hardware event, and that's not what it wants."Tablet shipments have declined in the past few years, especially among devices that don't come with a keyboard. "Perhaps what's the point for having an event for a declining category?" Guenveur added.Guenveur believes the new 10.5-inch iPad Air could struggle to find a place in the market considering the 11-inch iPad Pro is still a more powerful option that also supports the pencil. The iPad Mini, however, could push a decent amount of people to upgrade."There is certainly a market for the iPad Mini, especially among students and teens, but I don't know for how long the upgrade cycle for it will be,' Guenveur said. "I suspect it will do very well for one large upgrade cycle for the rest of the year and then slowly drop off." 1961

Brian Thomas just bought a new washing machine after spending time looking for a good deal."I found it a little stressful," he said. But he found a great deal.That stress he was enduring is happening to other consumers as tariffs have already led to price increases. It’s sticker shock. "It's increased, absolutely — you see 0-0 increase at least in what I looked at,” Thomas said.Appliances in particular have price increases from tariffs. Mexico exported billion worth of appliances just to the United States last year. At that time, the Trump administration hit the country with a 25 percent tariff on all imported goods.While the two countries play economic hardball, it’s the consumer who ends up paying more for everyday items coming from overseas.Metro University Associate Economics Professor Alexandre Padilla said there is debate on how tariffs will impact all. "The people that mostly are hurt or harmed by those tariffs are actually on the lower side of income,” Padilla said.People in favor of the tariffs say they keep jobs in the U.S."Should we penalize 10 million people to save a hundred thousand jobs? That's the question,” Padilla said.While Mexico tariffs are currently not in place, China's are. In May, tariffs increased on 0 billion worth of Chinese goods. 1305

California is fining the nation’s largest pharmacy health care provider a record .6 million for failing to redeem deposits on bottles and cans at some of its locations, regulators said Monday.The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, better known as CalRecycle, said its investigation found that 81 of CVS Pharmacy’s 848 retail stores in California refused to redeem the recyclables or pay a required 0 daily fee as an alternative.CalRecycle filed the enforcement action last week, and CVS can seek a hearing if it wants to contest the fine. Department spokesman Lance Klug said it’s the largest enforcement action ever against a retailer for failing to redeem recyclables.The company “is committed to contributing to healthier, more sustainable communities and we are currently reviewing the state of California’s filing,” spokesman Mike DeAngelis said in an email.One of CalRecycle’s most vocal critics praised the department’s action as a good first step to helping prop up the recycling industry. The industry has faltered due to a drop in value for scrap metal and aluminum and as other countries, particularly China, have become more picky in the types of waste they will buy from the United States.The vast majority of nearly 4,000 beverage retailers have agreed to redeem bottles and cans if consumers can’t find another convenient recycler. But Consumer Watchdog estimated from limited data that half to two-thirds of those retailers may be refusing to do so.“They’ve fined before, but they haven’t done it regularly or a lot,” Consumer Watchdog advocate Liza Tucker said of state regulators. “They’re sending a signal that it isn’t business as unusual, we’re really going to apply fines that are bigger than in the past.”Even for the pharmacy giant, .6 million “is enough to get CVS’ attention and enough to get the attention of the entire retail community,” Tucker said. “This is the wake-up call.”The enforcement action seeks to recover .8 million in 0-a-day fees that the 81 stores failed to pay by the end of October, and another .8 million in civil penalties. The total fine is a state record against retailers that are supposed to redeem cans and bottles.Jared Blumenfeld, California’s secretary for Environmental Protection, said in a statement that the goal is to send a message that the state “will hold retailers accountable for refunding consumers their nickel and dime recycling deposits.”California is one of 10 states with a deposit-refund system for beverage containers. Consumers pay an extra 5 cents for bottles up to 24 ounces (709.76 milliliters) and 10 cents for bottles more than 24 ounces.They’re supposed to get that money back by recycling the bottle or can once they are finished with it. But Consumer Watchdog said more consumers are throwing them away because they can’t find a convenient recycling location.More than half the state’s recycling centers have closed in the last five years, according to an analysis of state data by the Container Recycling Institute, though CalRecycle says about 1,200 remain.State subsidies to recyclers have increased each of the last four years, including 6 million last year. It’s devoting another million this year to aid recycling centers and spur projects like using mobile redemption centers in areas with high rents and community opposition to permanent recycling centers.CalRecycle Director Scott Smithline, who is retiring at year’s end, said the fine is part of agency actions that includes intensified inspections. Klug, the department spokesman, said that has included 2,180 inspections since August, with a priority on retailers who have had the largest number of violations and penalties owed. 3732
