A U.S. appeals court dismissed a class action lawsuit alleging Uber Technologies' policy of deactivating drivers with low passenger ratings is racially discriminatory. The court ruled that the plaintiff, Thomas Liu, did not provide evidence to support his claim that non-white drivers were disproportionately affected by Uber's system. The court also criticized the flawed survey presented by Liu's lawyers as insufficient to prove racial bias in the driver rating system. Uber, which deactivates drivers with low scores, was granted a motion to dismiss the case in 2022, and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission supported Liu's claim citing potential bias in customer ratings.

Despite NHTSA's claims that the rule would save lives and prevent injuries, automakers believe a more practical approach is necessary, suggesting the adoption of a European standard for forward collision detection with automatic braking.

Ganfeng Lithium, the leading lithium firm in China, has filed an international arbitration case against Mexico after the country cancelled a potential mining project worth over $1 billion.

The Chinese firm had acquired Bacanora Lithium Ltd. in 2022 to develop a mine and processing facility in Sonora state, but operations were halted after Mexico's legislation gave the state full control over lithium mining. After unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue locally, Ganfeng lodged a case with the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, listing Mexico's Economy Ministry as the respondent.
