A baby was born in a Waymo this week, and it wasn’t even the first one.

What started as a novelty story quickly became a reminder of how autonomous vehicles have quietly become part of everyday life, complete with all the messiness that entails. The real coming-of-age story this week, however, wasn’t happening in San Francisco’s robotaxis. It was playing out in Hollywood, where Netflix made an $82 billion bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming and studio business.

Today on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec and Anthony Ha discuss what happens when the startup that used to mail you DVDs grows up and tries to buy a legacy entertainment empire as well as the other headlines that caught their eye. Plus they get into the rise of AI circular deals and what CoreWeave’s CEO says about companies investing in their own customers.
