Man charged with fatal hit-and-run in Oakland’s Fruitvale District

(BCN) — A man accused of a fatal hit-and-run collision with a 72-year-old pedestrian in Oakland in 2022 has been charged with vehicular manslaughter, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Emelia Martinez Roa was walking on International Boulevard in the Fruitvale District on May 31, 2022 when she was struck by a car and killed.

Prosecutors believe that suspect Jose Perez was driving a stolen vehicle when he allegedly struck Roa and fled the scene without stopping to help or call for aid.

Perez has been charged with one count of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and one count of hit-and-run driving. Prosecutors have also added enhancements for prior convictions and “violence or bodily harm,” the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office said.

Perez is scheduled to be arraigned on April 25. If convicted, he is facing up to six years in state prison.

Google admits its AI Overviews need work, but we're all helping it beta test
Google is embarrassed about its AI Overviews, too. Google -- a company whose name is synonymous with searching the web -- whose brand focuses on "organizing the world's information" and putting it at user's fingertips -- actually wrote in a blog post that "some odd, inaccurate or unhelpful AI Overviews certainly did show up." The admission of failure, penned by Google VP and Head of Search Liz Reid, seems a testimony as to how the drive to mash AI technology into everything has now somehow made Google Search worse.

U.S. federal regulators have requested more information from Zoox, Amazon’s self-driving unit, as part of an investigation into rear-end crash risks posed by unexpected braking.
