10:33 pm
trigger. the court didn't go so far as to say banning bump stocks is itself unconstitutional, just that a ban would require an act of congress. >> to be clear, bump stocks are still banned in california. rob mcmillan, abc seven news. >> add this to the list of automated driving mishaps. a tesla crashed into a police cruiser in orange county. a fullerton police officer was standing outside his vehicle shortly after midnight on thursday, when he saw the tesla coming, with no sign of stopping , he was able to jump out of the way in time as the tesla slammed into the patrol vehicle. the car was in self-driving mode at the time of the impact, and the driver admitted to being on his cell phone. >> the princess of wales will make her first public appearance in six months when she attends king charles's birthday parade tomorrow. today, kensington palace shared a new photo of kate middleton and an update on her health. the first since announcing her cancer diagnosis. the 42 year old wife of prince
