Kyle proposes to Claire after a recent conflict, but will it backfire?
At the Abbott mansion on The Young and the Restless, Kyle prepares what Claire thinks will be an honest talk about their troubled relationship. Instead, he surprises her with a romantic setup, complete with candles and loving words. Kyle’s plan is to show Claire how much he cares, but the evening takes a shocking turn when he suddenly pulls out an engagement ring.
For Claire, the proposal doesn’t feel like a true sign of love. Instead, it seems more like a reaction to the recent problems with Audra Charles. She sees Kyle’s move as manipulative and badly timed, especially after the trust issues between them. Claire’s emotional response will leave everyone wondering if Kyle’s attempt to win her over will work or completely backfire.

Audra Charles feels trapped when Nate Hastings pressures her to admit the truth about her part in Victor Newman’s breakup plan. After avoiding the subject for weeks, Audra finally confesses. Her honesty shows she is ready to tell the truth, but it also puts her relationship with Nate in serious danger.
Nate has already been doubtful about Audra’s intentions and loyalty, so her admission might prove his worst suspicions right.

Her confession could create lasting consequences, not just for her love life but also for her future in Genoa City’s power struggles.
Cane hides secrets from Lily, while she develops a softer corner for him
Cane Ashby is still struggling to balance his personal life with his business goals. Lily Winters reacted to his emotional video, showing a softer side toward him despite their past issues. This small change hints at the chance of them reconnecting, not only as co-parents but possibly on a deeper level as well.
Cane is still hiding his secret takeover plans from Lily, which could ruin any progress between them. His choice to keep her in the dark is likely to create more problems down the line. Even if Lily decides to support him with the twins or think about giving their relationship another chance, Cane’s dishonesty guarantees more trouble ahead.
What’s next in Genoa City?
The September 1 episode of The Young and the Restless sets the stage for emotional fallout. Kyle’s bold gamble may either bind him closer to Claire or push her further away, while Audra’s honesty could cost her Nate once and for all.
Cane’s choices, meanwhile, risk sabotaging the fragile path back to Lily’s heart. With each character facing crossroads, viewers can expect a cascade of consequences in the episodes to come.
Amazon’s Self-Driving Zoox Vehicles Begin Ride-Hailing Service in Las Vegas
Zoox, a subsidiary of Amazon focused on autonomous driving, has taken a big step toward bringing self-driving cars into the mainstream. While the company had previously operated its pod-like vehicle on the streets around its headquarters in Foster City, California, giving rides to employees, Zoox has now announced that it has started running a ride-hailing service in Las Vegas that is open to the public.
The new Zoox service kicked off on September 10, offering free rides through the Zoox smartphone application. Rides are available on and around the Las Vegas Strip, although it appears the Zoox vehicle cannot take you wherever you want. Instead, riders can choose from a few destinations, including Resorts World Las Vegas, AREA15, Topgolf, and other entertainment spaces. Zoox says more destinations will be added in the next several months.
Zoox claims that it is the first company to launch a “fully autonomous ride-hailing service in a purpose-built robotaxi,” distinguishing itself from services operated by the likes of Waymo, May Mobility, Tesla, and the now defunct General Motors division Cruise. Those companies have all used autonomous vehicles adapted from existing production models; Waymo uses Jaguar I-Paces and Cruise used Chevrolet Bolt EVs, for example.
Zoox’s vehicle, meanwhile, is built from the ground up as a robotaxi. Revealed in 2020, the Zoox robotaxi stretches 142.9 inches from nose to tail, making it about the same length as a Fiat 500e. Power comes from a pair of electric motors, and the cabin features no steering wheel or pedals—instead, a pair of benches face each other.
While the service is initially free in Las Vegas, Zoox says it will introduce paid rides once the company gains “the necessary regulatory approval.” While it’s still early days for Zoox, the opening of its service in Las Vegas using purpose-built robotaxis is a significant move toward making self-driving cars a reality.
Zoox plans to bring its ride-hailing service to San Francisco next, with Austin and Miami planned to follow down the line.
