In this year’s election, the most powerful news source was Facebook. More than 40 percent of US adults—that’s more than watch any single TV channel—get their news from Facebook, according to Pew, and as plenty of journalists have recounted, the platform is flooded with hyperpartisan fake news.

He’ll likely be so overwhelmed with the immediate demands of his office and squaring his campaign promises with his party’s often-competing agenda that federal regulation of autonomous vehicles will be on the backburner for a while. But with autonomy accelerating […]
