A lot can happen in a week. Some of it good. Some of it bad. Some of it downright ugly. When faced with intriguing developments in the week’s news, we turn to a rotating panel of “non-experts” to parse The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of it all.

This week, our panel weighs in on these stories:

• Cruise could be getting out of the driverless car game in Houston
• Beyoncé's Grammy-nominated album Cowboy Carter has inspired a new history class at UH

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:
