Toyota is opposing the EU’s proposed “Made in Europe” auto rules, according to a Financial Times report. The plan would require some fleet vehicles and small EVs to be assembled in the EU for procurement and subsidies, and mandate 70% local sourcing of components (excluding batteries). Toyota Europe CEO Yoshihiro Nakata said it could deter investment and jobs by excluding partners like Japan, the UK and Turkey. Jaguar Land Rover said it would increase paperwork and production costs.

Canada’s federal government proposed a Digital Safety Act that would bar children under 16 from using social media unless platforms meet regulator-set safety standards, and would also impose rules on AI chatbots. The bill would create a digital regulator to set and enforce compliance, with penalties up to 3% of global revenue or C$10 million. Officials said it could take about a year to pass and 18 months to set up the regulator.

OraSure Technologies said the FDA cleared its Colli-Pee™•Dx urine collection kit (from subsidiary DNA Genotek) for at-home first-void urine collection for Roche cobas 5800/6800/8800 molecular testing. The kit supports tests for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Mycoplasma genitalium, enabling mail-in workflows and decentralized STI screening.

Canada is moving toward social media bans for users under 16, with the federal government saying platforms will eventually have to block access unless safeguards are met. Snapchat and Meta argue app stores should handle age-gating, while Apple and Google dispute responsibility. Australia’s 16+ ban reportedly left 70% of under-16 users keeping accounts, highlighting enforcement challenges.

Infleqtion, a Colorado quantum firm with offices in Madison, said it is accelerating after going public earlier this year, citing $550 million in new funding. Chief Scientist Mark Saffman (UW-Madison) discussed neutral-atom computers, sensors and software, plus contracts including work with JPMorgan Chase and NASA. Separately, Port Washington data center developers and WEC Energy asked Wisconsin’s PSC to reopen “very large customer” power-collateral rules, arguing Oracle may face ~$100M+ annual

Canada introduced a digital safety bill to ban social media for children under 16, with exemptions for platforms meeting safety standards, according to a government official. The bill would also regulate AI chatbots via a digital regulator. Noncompliance could bring penalties of 3% of global revenue or up to C$10 million. Officials said passage may take a year and regulator setup 18 months.
