Quick Glance: San Francisco to Receive Pandas from China

San Francisco is set to be the next U.S. city to welcome a pair of pandas from China as part of the 'panda diplomacy' program between Washington and Beijing.

Mayor London Breed announced that the San Francisco Zoo has been chosen to house the giant pandas.

The city has been working closely with Chinese and Asian and Pacific Islander communities to strengthen the existing cultural connection.

China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA) will collaborate with city officials to prepare for the pandas' arrival in 2025 and establish technical standards for their conservation.

Quick Glance: Oakland Airport Considers Adding 'San Francisco' to Name

Oakland International Airport is considering adding 'San Francisco' to its name to attract more passengers, but faces opposition from neighbors across the Bay.

The Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland will discuss the matter at their upcoming meeting on Thursday.

Officially known as Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, the airport lost 39 of 54 new routes added from July 2008 to March 2024, raising concerns about geographical confusion among travelers.

The potential name-change has alarmed San Francisco officials, who fear it would cause confusion among travelers and infringe on the city's trademark rights.

Quick Glance: Cruise announces steps for resuming its robotaxi fleet

Cruise plans to resume manual driving operations in Phoenix to create maps and gather road information in select cities.

Following an incident where a pedestrian in San Francisco was dragged by a Cruise robotaxi and trapped under the vehicle, the officials of the autonomous vehicle company announced on Tuesday the initiation of what they envision as their comeback to driverless operations.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles suspended Cruise approximately three weeks after the October 3 accident in San Francisco, citing that the company failed to provide footage of the incident.
