On this episode of Tech News Daily, Lucas and Luna dig into the quiet revolution of self-driving trucks on US highways. With California officially allowing autonomous truck testing on public roads, we explore what this means for the logistics industry, the economics of freight, and the job market for drivers. We break down the specific technology choices—why companies like Aurora and Kodiak are using different sensor setups than robotaxis, and how the economics of trucking make autonomy more compelling than urban robo-taxis. We also look at the market: while Tesla and NVIDIA are up this week, the broader tech selloff has hit Amazon and Alphabet hard, raising questions about whether AI's biggest bets are paying off. And we touch on Joshua Kushner's warning to Silicon Valley about AI euphoria. All that, plus why the race to autonomous trucking might be the real AI application that changes the world sooner than you think.

In this episode of Tech News Daily, Lucas and Luna explore a surprising new battleground in tech: the app store. As AI agents become capable of performing tasks across apps, the traditional app store model — curated, search-based, and permission-heavy — is starting to crack. The conversation zeroes in on Anthropic's recent decision to turn Claude Code's auto mode on by default, a move that signals how agents are moving from assisting developers to acting autonomously. Lucas breaks down what this shift means for developers, platform owners, and the $250 billion app economy, while Luna challenges whether we're ready for the security and trust implications. They also touch on the week's tech stock movements, with NVIDIA up 8.4 percent and Google down 5.1 percent, as investors seem to be re-pricing AI winners differently. The episode is a focused look at one structural question: if agents are the new users, who owns the gateway?
