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

Attorney General Bill Barr is preparing to announce as early as next week the completion of Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, with plans for Barr to submit to Congress soon after a summary of Mueller's confidential report, according to people familiar with the plans.The preparations are the clearest indication yet that Mueller is nearly done with his almost two-year investigation.The precise timing of the announcement is subject to change.The scope and contours of what Barr will send to Congress remain unclear. Also unclear is how long it will take Justice officials to prepare what will be submitted to lawmakers.But with President Donald Trump soon to travel overseas for a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Justice officials are mindful of not interfering with the White House's diplomatic efforts, which could impact the timing.The Justice Department and the special counsel's office declined to comment.Barr has said that he wants to be as "transparent" as possible with Congress and the public, "consistent with the rules and the law."Under the special counsel regulations, Mueller must submit a "confidential" report to the attorney general at the conclusion of his work, but the rules don't require it to be shared with Congress, or by extension, the public. And, as Barr has made clear, the Justice Department generally guards against publicizing "derogatory" information about uncharged individuals.As a result, one of the most pressing questions Barr will face in the coming weeks is the extent to which Mueller's findings should be disclosed to Congress.The regulations require Mueller to explain in his report all decisions to prosecute or not prosecute matters under scrutiny. Barr would also need to inform Congress if the Justice Department prevented the special counsel team from pursuing any investigative steps.Speculation about the end of the probe has been running rampant in Washington. NBC News reported recently the probe would be done by mid-February.Life after MuellerWhile the Mueller investigation may soon come to a close, there continue to be court cases that will be handled by other federal prosecutors.In addition, Mueller has referred certain matters that fell outside the scope of the Russia probe to other US Attorneys to pursue. Some of those investigations have already been revealed, including the investigation in New York into former Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen. That probe has spawned subsequent federal investigations in New York into the Trump Organization and the Trump Inaugural Committee. It is possible the special counsel's team has referred other matters that have not yet come to light.<For close watchers of the federal courthouse and the Mueller team, small changes have added up in recent weeks.On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last week, special counsel's office employees carried boxes and pushed a cart full of files out of their office -- an unusual move that could foreshadow a hand-off of legal work.At the same time, the Mueller prosecutors' workload appears to be dwindling. Four of Mueller's 17 prosecutors have ended their tenures with the office, with most returning to other roles in the Justice Department.And the grand jury that Mueller's prosecutors used to return indictments of longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and several Russians hasn't apparently convened since January 24 the day it approved the criminal charges against Stone.Even with these signs of a wrap up, the DC US Attorney's office has stepped in to work on cases that may continue longer than Mueller is the special counsel.That office has joined onto some of the Mueller's team's casework, including the cases against Stone, a Russian social media propaganda conspiracy, and in an ongoing foreign government-owned company's fight against a grand jury subpoena.Mueller and his prosecutors are still reporting to work as frequently as ever -- with some even coming in on recent snow days and Presidents' Day. But also visiting them more often than ever before are the prosecutors from the DC US Attorney's Office and others in the Justice Department who've worked on the Mueller cases.In one court case, against Concord Management for its alleged support for the social media conspiracy prosecutors told a judge in January there's still a related "matter occurring before the grand jury."In other cases, including Manafort's, the Mueller team has made heavy redactions to its recent public court filings, including to protect pending investigations and people who haven't been charged with crimes. 4628

An attorney says a Maryland man who was shot and killed by a police officer was asleep in his bedroom when police opened fire from outside his house. The 21-year-old man's girlfriend was also wounded. The Montgomery County Police Department said in a news release Friday that Duncan Socrates Lemp “confronted” police and was fatally shot by one of the officers early Thursday. An attorney for Lemp’s relatives said police couldn't have any justification for shooting Lemp based on what she has heard. Lemp's family says the warrant police obtained to search their Potomac home doesn’t mention any “imminent threat.” A police spokesman didn’t immediately respond to the family’s statement. 700

As food banks have struggled to meet soaring demand from people suddenly out of work because of the coronavirus pandemic, it has been especially troubling to see farmers have to bury produce, dump milk and euthanize hogs.Now some states are providing more money to help pay for food that might otherwise go to waste, the U.S. Agriculture Department is spending billion to help get farm products to food banks, and a senator is seeking billion more to buy farm produce for food banks.“Obviously nobody likes to see waste of good food,” said Mark Quandt, executive director of the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York. “And to know that farmers put so much work and money and energy into producing the product. That’s got to be breaking their heart to then have to just dump product like that or just throw it away or plow it under.”Farmers were left with little choice after the closure of restaurants and schools abruptly ended much of the demand for the food they produced.Thousands of acres of 1021

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA is rolling out the International Space Station's red carpet for Tom Cruise. Administrator Jim Bridenstine said before Wednesday's planned launch of two astronauts aboard a SpaceX rocket that Elon Musk's company is already getting customers eager to fly into orbit. Bridenstine says he doesn't admit it often, but he was inspired to become a Navy pilot after watching Cruise's blockbuster movie "Top Gun." He says if Cruise can make a new movie in space that inspires the next generation Elon Musk, "NASA is all in." He's leaving it to Cruise and SpaceX to provide a rundown on the upcoming mission. 643
