Alphabet’s Waymo unit will deploy a new autonomous vehicle designed specifically for robotaxi use, offering public rides in California and Arizona without human supervision. Ed Ludlow has more

@EdLudlow No word on subscription options and AVpooling

@EdLudlow Made in China. 🇨🇳

@EdLudlow Future is really bright… Fun fact: I heard each waymo vehicle has an estimated upfront cost of 100K ! Is that true?

@EdLudlow

@EdLudlow Finally! Purpose-built robotaxis are the future. Ojai looks way more spacious than the Jaguars. Waymo is miles ahead 🚀

@EdLudlow We all know Waymo sucks 🙄

@EdLudlow Tesla Robotaxi for the win.

@EdLudlow Fingers crossed the driving performance is improved!

@EdLudlow They’ve been testing them for over a year Excited to try one

@EdLudlow If it was designed for robotaxi use - why does it have a steering wheel and will it ever be removed?

@EdLudlow There’s a bunch of them driving around Los Angeles today!

@EdLudlow finally i can ignore the driver without feeling guilty about it

@EdLudlow Waymo quietly keeps extending the lead in real-world autonomy. Purpose-built robotaxis + no safety driver is a major milestone. The real test now is scaling safely in dense, unpredictable city environments.

@EdLudlow One shotted Tesla without even trying.
