Market Report THE DAILY HERALD
THE DAY ON WALL STREET The stock market closed out May on a mostly higher note Friday, sending two out of the three major U.S. indexes to record highs. Trading was uneven, and indexes moved between small gains and losses for most of the day. A late push higher left the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor’s 500 at all-time highs, but just barely. On Friday, the Dow Jones industrial average added 18.43 points, or 0.1 percent, to 16,717.17. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 3.54 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,923.57. — Associated Press

Google: Wow its allies with joyrides Zuckerberg From Page A10
shelved other projects and shifted money so he wouldn’t have to ask for the $200,000 needed to research and write the rules. At first, DMV staff panicked — they only had several months to write unprecedented rules on a technology they didn’t know. But Google knew the technology, and was eager to help. “Very few people deeply understand” driverless car technology, said Chris Urmson, the self-driving car pioneer lured from academia who now leads Google’s project. Offering policymakers information “to make informed decisions ... is really important to us.” The task fell primarily to David Estrada, at the time the legal director for Google X, the secretive part of the tech giant that houses ambitious, cuttingedge projects. Estrada would trek from San Francisco to Nevada’s capital, Carson City, for meetings hosted by DMV staff. Breslow credited Estrada with making suggestions that made the regulations far shorter, and less onerous, than they would have been. “We quickly jumped in ... to help figure out what the regulation should look like,” recalled Estrada. While others attended the meetings, Google seemed to have a special seat at the table. Bryant Walker Smith, who teaches the law of self-driving cars as a fellow at Stanford University, described one rule-drafting session where Google — not the DMV — responded to suggestions from auto industry representatives. “It wasn’t always clear who was leading,” Smith said. It seemed to him that

A row of Google self-driving cars are shown outside the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, on May 14. Four years ago, the Google team developing cars which can drive themselves became convinced that, sooner than later, the technology would be ready for the masses. There was just one problem: Driverless cars almost certainly were illegal.
both Google and the DMV felt ownership of the rules. By the end of 2011, Nevada welcomed the testing of driverless cars on its roads. Google, however, was focused on its home state, where its Priuses and Lexuses outfitted with radar, cameras and a spinning tower of laser sensors were a regular feature on freeways. In many ways, Google replicated its Nevada playbook: Frame the debate. Wow potential allies with joy rides. Argue that driverless cars would make roads safer and create jobs. In January 2012, Google met with state Sen. Alex Padilla, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineering graduate. Padilla was intrigued, and agreed to push a bill. Padilla said Nevada’s law helped him sell colleagues on the need to act. “California is home to two things. Number one is the hotbed of innovation and technology. And second, we love our cars. So it only made even more sense to say, ‘OK we need to catch up and try and lead the nation,”’
Padilla said. Nevada’s swift action, he said, “sent the signal to a lot of colleagues that, ‘No, this is not one we want to overthink and study for five years before we take action.”’ After all, who in California government wanted a flagship company moving jobs out of the state. In March 2012, Padilla rode in the driver’s seat of a Google car with Levandowski riding shotgun to the news conference announcing his legislation. In the months that followed, various groups tried to shape Padilla’s bill. One was the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which objected that automakers might be liable for injuries caused by modifications to their cars. The Alliance wanted to limit that liability, but trial lawyers, a powerful constituency in the state, defeated that effort. Some inside the Capitol concluded that Padilla was most attuned to Google. One thing that troubled Howard Posner, then the staffer on the Assembly Transportation Committee
responsible for analyzing the bill and suggesting improvements, was that Padilla’s legislation would let cars operate without a human present. Posner argued that lawmakers shouldn’t authorize this last step until the technology could handle it. The response, he said, was that Padilla didn’t want to do that — “which in my mind meant Google was not willing to do that.” Padilla said that while Google’s high profile helped the bill succeed, his office made the decisions. “We’re always going to have the final say,” Padilla said. In September 2012, Gov. Jerry Brown went to Google’s headquarters and signed Padilla’s bill. Google’s success in Nevada and California did not hinge on political giving. No Nevada lawmaker received money from Google in 2011, according to campaign finance reports. Padilla received no donations in 2012, according to campaign finance data analyzed by the nonpartisan organization MapLight. Lobbying records show that in November 2012, Google spent $79 on dinner and transportation for Padilla when he visited Washington, D.C., as well as $9 on a gift bag. Now, California’s motor vehicles officials face an end-of-year deadline to write regulations that will allow driverless cars to go from testing to use by the public in June 2015. At a DMV hearing in March, two Google representatives sat next to DMV staff at the head tables. Their message: Now that self-driving cars were legal, the state should not regulate them too strictly.

The gift comes at a time when critics are still questioning what became of Zuckerberg’s $100 million donation to Newark, New Jersey’s public school system. Four years ago, he announced the donation flanked by then-mayor Cory Booker and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. A recent New Yorker article criticizes the donation and the chain of events it set in motion. While well-intentioned, the money has so far failed to fix the city’s ailing school system. The process lacked meaningful community input and much of the money has been spent on high-paid contractors and consultants. Four years later, the money is nearly gone and a lot of people are angry. Zuckerberg said the Newark experience is a “big influence on our thinking” with the Bay Area donation. Taking the long view, he’s quick to point out that the results in New Jersey are too early to measure. “The schools and programs that the folks put
in place, only now are they ramping up and students are starting to go through them. So you won’t know what the outcomes are until like 5, 7, 10 years from now,” he said. “That said, I think there are some things that are going generally better than we’d expected and some things that we’ve definitely taken as lessons.” Chan, 29, and Zuckerberg, 30, have made philanthropy a central theme of their life together. The two made the largest charitable gift on record for 2013. That $1.1 billion donation was on top of another $500 million the couple gave a year earlier to the Silicon Valley foundation, which helps donors allocate their gifts. Last year, Zuckerberg was No. 21 on the Forbes list of the world’s richest people. He owns Facebook stock worth over $27 billion. In 2013, as the median yearly pay for U.S. CEOs crossed the $10 million mark amid a widening income gap, Zuckerberg took a symbolic annual salary of $1.
