Waymo says its self-driving taxis have completed over 5 million rides without a fatality, offering a safer alternative to human drivers. Operating in four major cities and expanding to more, the company believes autonomous vehicles can make transportation more accessible and less dangerous for everyone.

NEWS: Tesla has introduced an updated Robotaxi website, a clear sign that expansion is coming soon. “We’re bringing autonomous rides to you today—starting with Model Y. Autonomous Robotaxi rides are currently being offered in Austin, Texas. To get started, download the Robotaxi app. Cybercab, our purpose-built fully autonomous vehicle, will offer rides in your area in the future. We are building an autonomous future that is accessible to all people. Our Robotaxi vehicles are designed to support various accessibility needs including space for service animals and room to store some wheelchairs and other assistive devices. The Tesla app is currently available in 29 languages, with more being added.”

Day 3. Finished 5 Tesla Robotaxi rides, 4 Waymo rides, and 1 Uber ride. (See 39-minute edited video below.) Uber is in a tough situation. Classic innovators dilemma. Autonomous ride-hailing clearly is the future, but if Uber invites Waymo then that's working against their human drivers which will hurt Uber's recruiting ability (which they need to keep density especially in suburban areas). But if they don't welcome Waymo, then Uber is toast because people want cheaper/autonomous ride-hailing. Also, if Uber welcomes Waymo and Waymo cars increase then Waymo can just bypass Uber with their own Waymo app. Uber's only "hope" would be if multiple autonomous driving companies come online soon and Uber becomes the ride-hailing marketplace for them. But I think this is unlikely. Autonomous driving is just a really hard problem to solve, and with data and network effects. I think it's a winner-takes-most market. We'll see. But the more I take Tesla's Robotaxi, the more I think it's smoother and better than Waymo. And the more I take Waymo, the more I get pessimistic about Uber's long-term future.

Lockheed Martin has introduced the Lamprey Multi-Mission Autonomous Undersea Vehicle, a new unmanned system designed for naval operations beneath the ocean. The underwater vehicle can attach to ships for recharging, stay hidden on the seabed to gather intelligence, and operate for long periods without human crews. It can also launch torpedoes, decoys, and even airborne drones for reconnaissance and strike missions.

Atlanta, Georgia- Problems seem to be mounting for Driverless Robotaxi company Waymo. Another video sent in showing a waymo blocking an intersection with other drivers wandering around; trying to figure out how to move the vehicle out of the way. Standing by for a full investigation from the world’s foremost autonomous vehicle safety expert Dan O'Dowd The big question for Dan, Did Waymo rush their service out to these new cities before doing their due diligence?

Scottsdale, Arizona- Waymo vehicle illegally crosses double yellow and strikes horrified victim. Then it started driving again, smashing more of the struck vehicle. The reason for this particular story? We’ve learned that police in Arizona do not issue tickets or fines when Waymo vehicles are at fault in an accident. Is this the correct police response? America’s number one safety expert in the category of autonomous vehicles Dan O'Dowd has responded to this critical safety failure with the following statement- ‘Tesla bad’

Some investors/analysts argue against including Robotaxi in Tesla's valuation model because they believe that once Tesla achieves unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD), other companies will quickly follow suit within two to three years. However, I argue the following: • Tesla likely has a 4-5 year lead in generalized autonomous driving. • Tesla has millions of vehicles that could be potentially deployed into a Robotaxi network once unsupervised FSD is ready. • With a large supply of cars offering quick rides at cheaper prices than Uber and Lyft (no human driver), Tesla's robotaxi network will be extremely difficult to compete against. • Newcomers entering the market years later will struggle to match Tesla's supply density, competitive pricing, and demand, even in a single city. In other words, Tesla’s first mover advantage in the Robotaxi market will likely be very significant and the resulting network effects will make it extremely difficult to compete with for future newcomers to the Robotaxi market.

It’s going to come to a point (soon) where people will refuse to be driven around by a human because it’ll be less safe, and will only prefer being driven by a fully autonomous vehicle. After being driven around by a Tesla Robotaxi for a week, I can confidently say that.

Despite all the hype, Tesla failed to launch an actual robotaxi service for five years in a row. All of Tesla's "Robotaxis" have a human in the front seat. Meanwhile, Waymo has quietly got on with the job, deployed in new cities, expanded its fleet, and eaten Tesla's lunch.

🚨🇺🇸 TESLA GOES ALL-IN ON ROBOTAXI: AUTONOMY, NO EXCUSES Tesla just dropped a new Robotaxi video and refreshed its Robotaxi website, a clear signal that autonomous rides aren’t a concept anymore… they’re already rolling out. Robotaxi service is live in Austin using Model Y, with the purpose-built Cybercab next in line, underscoring Tesla’s strategy: deploy now, scale fast, argue later. Tesla is also leaning hard into accessibility, touting support for service animals, space for some wheelchairs and assistive devices, and app availability in 29 languages, a direct answer to critics who claim autonomy leaves people behind. Regulators can debate timelines all they want, but Tesla is behaving like the Robotaxi era has already started. Source: Tesla, Sawyer Merritt

The Wine Robots of Paso Robles vineyard, California. Thorvald is a modular, autonomous robot platform developed by Saga Robotics, based in Norway and the UK. It performs UV-C light treatments to kill powdery mildew on grapes and strawberries, without use of chemicals. Powdery mildew is a fungal disease affecting grapes and strawberries, reducing yield. Designed for polytunnels, vineyards, and open fields. There will be more features added soon.
