Robotaxi companies Cruise and Waymo recently scored a big win when California regulators allowed them to expand their services and begin charging fares in San Francisco. But now the companies are hitting some speedbumps.

On the show today: Axios transportation reporter Joann Muller explains where we’re at with self-driving technology, why all eyes are on San Francisco, and who make the rules as robotaxi companies grow. Plus, the human-to-human connection that driverless cars are missing.

Then, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimundo is the next cabinet member in line for a trip to China. We’ll get into why the visit might be a little tense. And, some Americans are finding creative avenues to homeownership in spite of an unfavorable housing market.

Later, our listeners recommend some summer reads. And, this week’s answer to the Make Me Smart question comes from Mark Clouse, President and CEO of Campbell’s Soup.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• • “How autonomous vehicles “see” the world around them” from Axios

• • “Cruise will reduce robotaxi fleet by 50% in San Francisco while California DMV investigates ‘incidents'” from CNBC

• • “Carmakers Are Pushing Autonomous Tech. This Engineer Wants Limits.” from The New York Times

• • “How rideshare drivers feel about robot competition” from Marketplace

• • “The Cost of Self-Driving Cars Will Be the Biggest Barrier to Their Adoption” from Harvard Business Review

• • “Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to Visit China from The Wall Street Journal

• • “Goodbye Bathtub and Living Room. America’s Homes Are Shrinking.” from The Wall Street Journal

• • “The enduring allure of the cheap old house” from  The Washington Post

• • Summer reading recs from the Make Me Smart team on Goodreads

• • Summer reading recs from our listeners on Goodreads

We want to hear your answer to the Make Me Smart question. You can reach us at makemesmart@marketplace.org or leave us a voicemail at 508-U-B-SMART.

Stalin said one death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic. On Free State this week, Dion and Joe discuss the tragedy of tens of thousands drowning in the Mediterranean. They wonder how we lost touch with our own humanity and why people fall for the same tricks of hate peddled for centuries. They also ask why did four of our own MEPs vote against a resolution that would have ramped up search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean?

Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.

Going to college can be a shock to most: Leaving the comfort of friends and family for a leap into the unknown, a fresh start. But what is the university experience like as a refugee?

The journalist Maddy Crowell met some of the 148 Afghan women who have been enrolled in U.S. colleges to complete their degrees, and relates how they have adapted to American and collegiate life a year on from the fall of Kabul.

It has, she finds, been far from easy. Ms. Crowell wrote that one student said “she spent her days pinballing among exhaustion, despair and a sort of cautious optimism.”

This story was written by Maddy Crowell and recorded by Audm. To hear more audio stories from publications like The New York Times, download Audm for iPhone or Android.

In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes talk about webhooks — one of those concepts that seems a lot scarier than it actually is.

03:42 - What are webhooks?

• User-defined HTTP callbacks
• When something happens, ping this URL with this data
• Examples:
  • When something sells, ping this URL
  • When someone reverses a charge, lock their account
  • Trigger a build of the website when the content changes
  • Then someone buys a shirt, generate a shipping label and save it to the DB

07:57 - Sending End

• Can be a great way to hook two services together

09:13 - Receiving End

• Often you will be the one that accepts the webhook ping
• In this case, you set up an endpoint

11:00 - Payloads

• Almost all will send a JSON body that you parse out
• The method send is variable

11:51 - Auth

• On the receiving end of a webhook, you often get a token which you can then ping the service with. It will tell you if that request was legit or not.
• On the sending end, you can often set up headers with auth - same with the method
• Can be a replacement for a serverless function

13:18 - Testing webhooks

• Can be a pain in the ass
• ngrok - expose locally
• localtunnel
• Insomnia
• Postman
• Stripe has a great VS code extension
• Snipcart has an awesome dashboard
  • Will also tell you when one failed
• webhook.site
• https://expose.dev/
• IFTTT
• Zapier

“Laïcité,” or secularism, the principle that separates religion from the state in France, has long provoked heated dispute in the country. It has intensified recently, when a teacher, Samuel Paty, was beheaded after showing his class caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.

We look at the roots of secularism and ask whether it works in modern, multicultural France.

Guest: Constant Méheut, a reporter for The New York Times in France.

For an exclusive look at how the biggest stories on our show come together, subscribe to our newsletter. You can read the latest edition here.

Background reading: 

• For generations, public schools assimilated immigrant children into French society by instilling the nation’s ideals. The beheading of a teacher raised doubts about whether that model still worked.
