Obama Library, Silver Lake Reservoir, Tes-Loop

Hosted by Frances Anderton Jul. 05, 2016

Residents of Silver Lake want their beloved reservoir refilled, the Ford Theatre gets a major facelift, and bike share comes to downtown. And Tesla’s recent auto-pilot crash could mean speed bumps for an LA-based shuttle service that uses self-driving Tesla cars.
