Waymo is scaling fast: Here’s what the fleet data shows. Waymo now averaging 500,000 paid robotaxi rides every week.

Waymo is quietly turning robotaxis from a tech demo into infrastructure. 500,000 paid rides a week, roughly 4,000 cars and 15 US cities is no longer a cute experiment. The interesting part: 80% of the fleet is still concentrated in California and Texas. Scale first where density works, then expand. Tesla has a real race on its hands.

Lol Tesla isnt even in the race, Waymo are kicking their ass.

Last mile work is great but fuck big tech, AI and surveillance

Yeah on the one hand, eliminating human drivers is great. On the other, Google.

I’m wondering when we’ll see statistics on if these things are actually safer than human drivers. Anecdotally they’ve already almost hit me a couple times, when I was on foot and driving my own car. But I’m also a cynic, I’m not convinced these things will ever be bettet than human drivers.
