caller: we would like to make a shout out to ms. smith of the three b class. my question is what is the significance of pinker v. des moines and new jersery v. tll. guest: pinker versus the morning was a 1960 case where the supreme court said public schools had to uphold the right to free speech and expression. but that was watered down in later cases where the supreme court said public schools can define if speech was disruptive to the educational process. the other case is a fourth amendment case. this is the question of when can school administrators, into a student's locker and search. do they need reasonable suspicion, a lower standard, or do they need a higher standard the way a police officer may need to search a vehicle on the street. in that case, the supreme court said public school administrators need the lower standard. host: we go to esther von waiting in new jersey. good morning. your question or shout out? caller: shout out to dr. hollis's ap government class. my question is what is the difference between independent regulatory agencies and othe

ms. evelyn smith. i'm with the american enterprise institute. my question is for jessica. you were mentioning that in the autonomous trucks that are being tested now in nevada that there's not -- there's still a vehicle manager in the car. i think there's a public perception that this technology is going to eliminate a lot of jobs. but it seems like that's not the case, at least in the short term. is there a different level of skill that's required to be a vehicle manager? is there a different type of job we think will replace truck drivers or uber drivers? >> absolutely. i think that's a good question. it's exciting for people in this field. i think we are looking at the elevation of this kind of a career from a driver to, like you said, a manager. someone who is monitoring all of the systems in the vehicle. this is a high-tech job. advanced training. actually, i was at an event here in this room a few weeks ago about advanced industries. the kinds of education that are going to be necessary moving forward for different kinds of industries in this country. i think that th
