It's Tuesday June 28th 2016 and today we found out just how much Volkswagen's emission Shenanigans will cost the company today the US Department of Justice leaned into the German automaker for quote turning over half a million American drivers into unwitting accomplices in an unprecedented assault on our country's environment end quote before announcing the settlement was worth over $14.7 billion up to 475,000 owners of the offending Volkswagen Vehicles which don't conform to emission standards will receive up to $10,000 in payment and VW will either have to fix those cars to get them back into compliance end leases or potentially buy back the vehicles for up to $44,000. Quillian Yates with the doj went on to say that the settlement isn't the end of the matter oh no no no VW still faces civil penalties for violating the Clean Air Act and could face criminal charges as well nobody likes a cheater BW especially when it comes to emissions.
Airbnb is suing its home city of San Francisco over a law it actually helped create and pass a couple of years ago Airbnb worked with the city to draft a law which would help it operate more freely in fact the law became known locally as the Airbnb law recently though that same law has become something of a thorn in the company's side on June 7th the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to impose a $5000 fine on every unregistered host using the service Airbnb is pushing back saying it can't be held liable for the content published by its users due to the communications decency act. It also admits the law it helped create is overly complicated and simply doesn't work at any rate if it can't avoid the fines the company could end up owing hundreds of thousands of dollars in no time unless it pulls invalid listings from its site which also isn't realistic.
The New York Times reports Airbnb is worth about $25 billion and it's raised more than $3 billion in equity and debt that being the case a massive Shakedown would cost all involved a lot of dough we'll keep an eye on this one and see how it turns out but as angry as the hotel industry is about Airbnb we'd be surprised if tougher regulation doesn't become a common conversation in cities across the US and Beyond. Finally Google Maps and Google Earth just got some serious upgrades thanks to brand new imagery from the lanat 8 satellite that's right if the last time Google's Eye in the Sky managed to catch you nude sunbathing in your backyard or perhaps bent over while pulling weeds those scenes will soon be a thing of the past as Google has taken new imagery and stitched the best of it all together to create a completely cloud-free super sharp map of the Earth go check it out now and see if you can figure out when your neighborhood was shot that's it for DT daily today we'll see you right back here tomorrow.
