How are Michigan Democrats trying to unite after a contentious Senate primary?
Michigan Democrats are trying to unify after a divisive primary so they can hold on to a must win Senate seat, but healing those fractures is proving complicated, as NPR Sam Greenglass reports.
Abdul Al Sayyid has energized the left as he buys to replace retiring Democratic Senator Gary Peters.

How is Tesla’s launch of driverless taxis being regulated and investigated?
Carry Con NPR News Tel Aviv.
The right wing alternative for Germany Party has won a regional election there this weekend, but it fell short of winning a majority. The party was hoping it would be able to form the country's first far-right state government since World War II. You're listening to NPR News. Tesla has launched its first fleet of driverless taxis that have no steering wheels or pedals. The car went live on the streets of Austin, Texas, and as NPR's John Ruich reports, the Department of Transportation has already launched an investigation into those vehicles.
The cars are compact, gold-colored, two-door SUVs with distinctive Tesla lines and doors that open upward, and they have no way for passengers to take control if need be. The launch announcement on Thursday gave Tesla shares a boost, but they quickly gave up those gains after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, announced that it was conducting what's known as an audit query into the service. The investigation will check that the cyber cabs meet all federal motor vehicle safety standards. NHTSA Administrator Jonathan Morrison says in a statement, the administration fully supports the safe development and deployment of autonomous vehicles, but needs to ensure that all laws are followed after Tesla's self-certification.
