A new report suggests turning to connected autonomous vehicles to alleviate traffic, including on Wasatch Blvd. in Sandy, as seen here on Friday, Mar. 7, 2025 prior to the opening of the traction checks on Little Cottonwood Canyon road.

At 9 a.m. on Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Robert Gehrke, Julie Jag and Paighten Harkins join host UPR’s Tom Williams to talk about the week’s top stories, including the legislature picking Utah’s new congressional map on Oct. 6.

Every Friday at 9 a.m., stream “Behind the Headlines” at upr.org. Join the live conversation by email to upraccess@gmail.com.
