Welcome back, Phoenix. I'm here in your inbox today to get you up to speed on everything you need to know about what's going on in town.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and cool. High: 67 Low: 46.

Here are the top three stories today in Phoenix:

1. A new driving service is now available for residents in the central Phoenix area. Waymo is a fully automated ride-hailing service tested since 2021 for trusted riders. The automatic self-driving cars were tested for millions of miles on the road and in simulation. (FOX 10 News Phoenix)
2. According to Phoenix police, a man was arrested for killing his younger brother. The 35-year-old was handling his gun when it went off, striking his 33-year-old brother. The suspect was sent to jail and awaiting charges. (12news.com KPNX)
3. Urgent Home Care Inc., an Arizona-based care provider, denied employees overtime rates and paid regular wages during overtime hours. The U.S. Department of Labor is ordering the company to pay 253 employees $523,000 in back wages and damages. A similar investigation started in 2016 when the company violated overtime requirements.
