Now, in San Francisco, the company is making a big step forward and “going big” by opening up … [continued]

It’s going to be a robotaxi special today, apparently. Carolyn kicked it off with an article about one independent analyst’s critique of ARK Invest’s Tesla robotaxi and stock forecast. I was triggered by some wild assumptions in that critique, so wrote my own article highlighting a few things. However, there … [continued]

Following discussions with the Tesla investor relations team, JPMorgan analysts earlier this month said they soon expected Tesla to reveal a robotaxi prototype.

Waymo has spent most of my adult life working on self-driving vehicles (originally under the Google brand, until about 7½ years ago). For a long time after it finally started offering robotaxi service for non-employees, the service was free. Since December 2018, though, Waymo has offered and slowly expanded commercial … [continued]

The editor side of me that is very focused on using precise language actually disagrees with that statement in the headline, and stating something like that irritates me a little bit because of that, but it’s hyperbole to make an important point.
