Alphabet Drives Self-Driving Ambitions Further with New Waymo City Launch

Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) continues to grow its autonomous mobility presence through Waymo, announcing its expansion into Washington, DC. The company plans to introduce its Waymo One service to the capital by 2026, adding to a growing list of cities already operating its driverless technology.

Waymo runs fully autonomous rides in San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Austin. As part of a broader nationwide strategy, it has also resumed testing in several other urban areas, including Las Vegas and San Diego. Washington, DC, marks a significant addition as Waymo increases its footprint across the East Coast.

Alphabet's autonomous unit will deploy additional vehicles in the capital in the coming weeks. The expansion aligns with the company’s continued focus on regulatory collaboration as it works with local officials to enable operations without human drivers.

The service currently uses all-electric Jaguar I-Pace vehicles, though Waymo is partnering with Hyundai to bring the Ioniq 5 into future deployments. Riders use the Waymo One app to hail these vehicles, and the company reports it now handles over 200,000 paid rides weekly.

While public acceptance grows, Waymo continues to address safety concerns. The company recently updated its software following isolated incidents and maintains that, based on internal safety data, its technology performs better than human drivers.

By expanding to new cities and partnering with policymakers, Alphabet reinforces its commitment to bringing autonomous technology to scale in real-world settings.

CSX Reaches Five-Year Labor Agreement with Signalmen Union

CSX Corporation (CSX) has reached a five-year agreement with the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen (BRS), reinforcing its commitment to labor stability across its rail operations.

This tentative deal covers over 1,200 workers responsible for signals and switch operations, a critical component of CSX’s freight rail infrastructure. The agreement includes improved wages, healthcare benefits, and paid time off provisions, and it is pending final ratification by union members.

Earlier this year, CSX finalized a similar agreement with nearly 4,200 Teamsters-represented workers, continuing its track record of structured labor negotiations. Another union, the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers, approved a five-year agreement with the company this month, indicating broad momentum on labor settlements.

These agreements form part of its broader labor alignment strategy, following ongoing calls for enhanced worker benefits across the freight industry.

The company’s steady collaboration with unions comes amid a renewed national focus on improving conditions for rail employees. As workforce demands grow across critical transportation sectors, companies like CSX are moving to secure long-term agreements supporting operational reliability and worker satisfaction.

The agreement with BRS will be finalized and ratified, and the following implementation phase will be determined. For now, the proposal marks another step in CSX’s effort to maintain labor continuity while meeting evolving service and workforce expectations across its national rail system.

Zhengye Biotechnology Holding [ZYBT] $8.20 (+41.38%)

Zhengye Biotechnology, a Chinese company producing veterinary vaccines, posted its best daily performance since its recent IPO concluded in January. Investors are confident about its upside potential given the stronger-than-expected demand for the stock.

Forte Biosciences Inc [FBRX] $8.51 (+34.65%)

Forte Biosciences expanded its recovery after hitting its YTD bottom last week. Today, the biotech firm gained nearly 40%, leveraging the bullish sentiment in the broader healthcare sector.

Saiheat Limited [SAIH] $9.21 (+23.46%)

Saiheat, a company developing liquid-cooling data centers, is making a bold recovery attempt after hitting a record low last Friday.

Cormedix Inc [CRMD] $7.34 (-31.85%)

Cormedix is another struggling biotech firm, although it does much better on larger timeframes compared to GLTO. The company’s financial report released today showed that Q4 was the first profitable quarter on record, but investors had higher expectations from annual results.

USA Rare Earth Inc [USAR] $6.71 (-29.37%)

USA Rare Earth has shown extreme volatility after making its debut on the Nasdaq earlier this month. The rare earth miner broke above $18 shortly after its IPO but has quickly lost traction. Investors are shifting to a wait-and-see mode following the appointment of a new CEO on Monday.

Gakecto Inc [GLTO] $4.90 (-26.87%)

Galecto was one of the worst performers today, losing nearly 27% and hitting a record low earlier today after erasing recent gains. Investors are not impressed with the company’s annual results, even though it recently acquired a promising leukemia drug candidate.
