Here's your Daily Crunch for September 11, 2018. 1.

It got closer to that goal today by acquiring Open Listing, a four-year-old, L.A.-based startup that aims to automate the work of a real estate agent, thus reducing the fee an agent would take. 7. Vietnam's new automaker shows off vehicle 'designed' by its citizens VinFast, Vietnam's new (and only) automaker, turned to its citizens to decide what its inaugural vehicles should look like. Now, VinFast is sharing the first images of the final product — a sedan and SUV that will debut October 2 at the Paris Motor Show. |
