A Nevada Transportation Authority permit that had restricted Amazon-owned Zoox to just 100 robotaxis will lapse this month, according to confirmation from an NTA official and a Zoox spokesperson. The move allows Zoox to expand its Las Vegas fleet without the previous regulatory ceiling, though the company has not disclosed how many vehicles it plans to add.
Burning Man organizers confirmed three separate deaths during this year's event in Black Rock City, Nevada, including Craig Mann, 60, found dead at his campsite, Sampson Tshombe, in his mid-50s, who died from a medical emergency, and Armando Ramirez, 51, who died en route to a hospital in Reno. Officials said the deaths appear unrelated and found no evidence of foul play, though causes have not been officially disclosed.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation and University of Nevada, Reno maintain a free, searchable database called Atlas of Surveillance that maps police surveillance technology nationwide, including Flock Safety cameras, drones and facial-recognition systems.

The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Kalshi's bid to stop Nevada from regulating its prediction market operations, siding with the state's gambling regulators and attorney general who sued Kalshi in February for allegedly operating without a sports gambling license. The ruling adds to a patchwork of conflicting state and federal legal outcomes for Kalshi, which also faces action from Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York and Arizona, even as a separate court found New Jersey lacks authority to regulate the platform.
A unanimous three-judge panel on the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled that Nevada can enforce its gambling laws against Kalshi's sports-related event contracts, rejecting the company's claim that federal commodities law shields it from state oversight. The decision upholds a lower court order allowing Nevada's Gaming Control Board to act against Kalshi, Crypto.com and Robinhood over sports-event contracts offered on their platforms.
