Technology news with our tech correspondent Peter Griffin and there's trouble in Twitter-land. User numbers have stopped growing and it's now worth just a third of the US$32 billion valuation it had when it listed 2 years ago. 

Plus the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US says it regards the computer onboard driverless cars just like a human driver. So you won't need a human driver overseeing things behind the controls too.
