CNN
John Krafcik is exiting his role as Waymo's CEO after nearly six years of leading the self-driving car project at Google's parent company, Alphabet.
Krafcik, 59, said in a blog post published Friday that he is looking forward to a refresh period and discovering new parts of the world. He said he'd remain as an advisor to Waymo, and called it the "capstone" of his career in the auto industry. Prior to his role at Waymo, he worked at Hyundai, Ford, and NUMMI, a joint venture owned by GM and Toyota. Krafcik first joined Waymo in 2015, according to a LinkedIn post from the former CEO.President Joe Biden is expected to announce an executive order as early as Tuesday that would effectively shut down the US-Mexico border to asylum-seekers crossing illegally when a daily threshold of crossings is exceeded – a sweeping and controversial proposal that is likely to receive fierce pushback from progressives and immigration advocates.
In the days and weeks leading up Hunter Biden’s trial on felony gun charges, President Joe Biden made little attempt to distance himself from his son. Instead, Hunter Biden was seen at the White House and in Delaware at his father’s side amid what the president’s allies acknowledge is a difficult moment for both men.
