Good evening, you're tuned in to Markets Desk.
Electric vehicle makers are waging a state-by-state legal battle against franchise dealership laws that date back decades. Companies like Rivian say these restrictions block the direct-to-consumer sales model that defines their business, calling the situation awkward, restrictive, and in some cases outright damaging to their growth prospects.
Shifting to the workplace, shadow AI is becoming the new shadow IT. Employees across industries are quietly using unapproved AI tools to get work done, even when they helped write the policies banning them. The dynamic puts companies in a difficult position — productivity gains are real, but so are the data security and compliance risks flying under the radar.
And in quick service restaurants, AI is clocking in for a shift. Chains like Starbucks and Burger King are deploying in-store AI assistants that know every recipe, monitor staff performance in real time, and can flag behavior directly to management. Proponents say it sharpens consistency and service, but critics argue it introduces a surveillance layer that changes the nature of hourly work in ways the industry hasn't fully reckoned with.
That's the tape.
