Uber on Thursday night confirmed that it has raised $1 billion for its autonomous driving unit at a post-money valuation of $7.25 billion.
Existing Uber shareholders SoftBank Vision Fund and Toyota were joined by Japanese auto parts maker DENSO. Toyota and DENSO will invest a combined $667 million, with SoftBank’s Vision Fund putting in the rest. Toyota is also committing up to an additional $300 million over the next three years to deploy autonomous vehicles into the Uber’s network by 2021.
Uber is preparing to go public next month, and this deal could soothe some investor concerns about the cash-burn on self-driving R&D.

Poland should follow Greece in stepping up pressure on Germany to pay billions of euros in damages for Nazi occupation during World War Two, a lawmaker in charge of Warsaw’s reparations campaign said on Thursday.
Greece’s parliament voted a day earlier to launch a diplomatic push to press its case — and Berlin responded by reiterating its position that all such claims by invaded countries had long been settled.
Arkadiusz Mularczyk, who heads the Polish parliamentary committee on reparations, said in a tweet that the Greek vote showed WW2 compensation had become an international issue.
“It’s time for a decision from the Polish Sejm (lower house of Parliament),” added the lawmaker from the ruling nationalist Law and Justice party.

Hezbollah has not abandoned its plans to invade parts of northern Israel during a future conflict, a top IDF office said in interview excerpts published on Thursday.
“We, of course, will not let that happen,” outgoing GOC Northern Command Maj. Gen. Yoel Strick told the Hebrew news site Ynet.
Strick — who is finishing up a two-year stint as the head of the Northern Command — said he had “no doubt” the IDF would win any potential war in the north.
According to Strick, the IDF has been “most effective” in pushing the Iranians back from the border with Israel in southern Syria in recent years.

Pesach is one of the most wasteful times of the year in Israel, JPOST reports.
According to data published by food rescue organization Leket Israel and accounting firm BDO, 106,000 tons of food, worth approximately NIS 1.126 billion ($313 million), goes to waste during the month of Pesachl – about 14% higher than regular monthly waste.

A 92-year old former Nazi concentration camp guard has been charged with being an accessory to thousands of murders by German prosecutors on Thursday.
The former guard, named only as Bruno D., was charged by Hamburg prosecutors with aiding in the “malicious and cruel” killing of prisoners at the Stutthof concentration camp. D. served as a concentration camp guard there for nine months, from August 1944 until April 1945. Stutthof was located in what is presently Poland.

Another symbol of hate — the sixth in five months — was found in the public schools in Summit, NJ, officials said. The swastika was located in a sixth-floor girls bathroom at the district’s middle school, and immediately removed.
Reports of swastikas have skyrocketed throughout the New York and New Jersey region, as WNYC reported in January, and are the most common hate crime. But Summit, a well-to-do town in Union County with about 4,000 students in the public schools, seems to be getting hit harder than elsewhere. About two-thirds of the students are white, and there is a notable Jewish population.
The six swastikas were all found in the middle and high schools, and some of the graffiti may have predated this school year.

The plans to charge New Yorkers a nickel for every paper bag they get at stores passed its first hurdle Wednesday.
City Council’s Sanitation Committee moved a bill, drafted by council members Margaret Chin and Brad Lander and backed by the De Blasio administration, to the full council for approval. The council members and environmental advocates said the fee, coupled with the state’s ban on plastic bags that goes into effect next year, will help push people to use reusable bags when they shop.
City Councilman Chaim Deutsch, who cast the committee’s lone vote against the bill, said that the proposed regulation would cause serious financial and logistical problems for some New Yorkers who can’t carry nondisposable bags all of the time.
