Tim Hortons stores across the country are getting a $700 million makeover over the next four years. Most of the country’s shops will be outfitted with “upgraded, open-concept seating” areas as well as electrical outlets for customers to charge their devices. Tim Hortons, which has seen a sales slowdown in the past year, hopes the modernization will attract more customers; franchise owners have criticized the revamp’s price tag. The renowned coffee chain recently fell out of Canada’s top ten “most influential” brands for the first time in six years.

Uber is settling a class-action discrimination lawsuit for $10 million. 420 engineers, all women and people of color, accused the ride-hailing firm of favoring men and white or Asian employees in pay and promotions. As part of the settlement, the company has committed to regular diversity reports and improving systems for compensation and reviews. Uber has been working to revamp its culture in the wake of a blog post from ex-engineer Susan Fowler last year; the company has since published its first diversity report and says it’s working to close its gender pay gap. ?

The Trump administration struck a trade deal with South Korea. American automakers will be allowed to sell as many as 50,000 cars in the country without adhering to local safety standards, while South Korea will limit steel exports to the U.S. in exchange for exemption from the 25% tariff announced earlier this month. The agreement, the White House’s first revised trade deal, comes as the U.S. and South Korea prepare for separate talks with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. ? Share your thoughts: #SouthKoreaTariffs

A fatal Tesla crash near Mountain View, Calif., is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board. While it’s unclear whether the car was in semi-autonomous mode when the incident occurred, it’s Tesla’s second crash drawing regulators’ scrutiny — the company’s Autopilot system was partially to blame in a fatal collision in 2016. This latest investigation comes just after a self-driving Uber vehicle hit and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Ariz.; Uber has since suspended tests of its technology. ?Share your thoughts: #TeslaProbe
