While everyone watches AI, Google broke time itself.

Their quantum chip just solved a problem that would outlast the universe — in 5 minutes.

And this is just the start...

Today we are announcing Nashville 🎸as our next robotaxi-enabled city!

You’ll see driverless @cruise AVs there in a few months.

This brings us from 1 city to 7 in about a year - and there are still more to come…

Here’s how👇(1/9)

[Chris Wilson @ChrisWilson]

@olivercameron @Cruise Thank you for everything you did for us at Cruise, you'll be missed, and I'll be eagerly watching what challenge you take on next!

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

Our latest release is rolling out to the @cruise fleet! Major improvements related to driving in a human-like way, especially around cyclists and pedestrians. Here an AV moves to safely pass two cyclists going the wrong way.

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

I am excited to announce @Cruise will go live in Houston and Dallas in the next few months!

Supervised autonomous driving will start in Houston in a few days, with Dallas to follow soon after.

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

Well folks, we did it. I have been waiting for this day for almost 10 years.

I am proud to announce @Cruise is now running 24/7 across all of San Francisco!

This is a pivotal moment for our business.

Let me tell you why 👇(1/6)

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

I can’t count the times I’ve been told that AVs will *never* be able to handle certain situations.

How about taking a passenger through North Beach on St. Patrick’s day?

Absolutely wild. Thanks to this driverless @Cruise AV (named Twin Peaks) for the clip.

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

Last year @Cruise AV's apparently drove 10x more driverless miles in California than any other company.

We grew about 50x year over year. Lots of challenging bottlenecks are now out of the way, but I'm sure there are more ahead.

ready for rough roads 👀

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

At @Cruise we just hit 600,000 driverless miles! Another great milestone for the team.

Notably, the last 100k miles came in 8x faster than the first 100k.

I wish @Redfin listings had a comments section

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

Today @Cruise launched *daytime* driverless rides. Service is live for Cruisers and will launch to the public soon.

First ride was this morning around 8:30 am:

[Chris Wilson @ChrisWilson]

My Cruise AV is on its way to pick me up right from my apartment for the first time – couldn't be more excited! #LifeAtCruise

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

Tonight our driverless service area in SF expands to cover almost all of SF. Today is also exactly one year since my first ride, the first driverless ride in a major US city.

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

We've seen people try *really* hard to win the Darwin Awards. It's not cute and can put others at risk.

This driverless @cruise AV (named Pudding) has a better reaction time than most drivers in order to help make our communities safer. Please be responsible out there, folks.

MORGAN STANLEY: “My fully driverless ride last night (9:20pm) in a Cruise vehicle through the streets of San Francisco is genuinely difficult to put into words. Call me and I’ll do my best to explain. But just, wow. Very impressive stuff.” [Jonas] $GM

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

Some fun news - @Cruise is bringing driverless rides to Austin and Phoenix later this year.

[Arm @Arm]

.@Cruise may be the first all-electric, driverless service to welcome public riders in a major US city, but they're not stopping there.

@kvogt details what's next to @Arm CEO @renehaas237, as we work together to enable the next generation of autonomous vehicles built #onArm.

[Chris Wilson @ChrisWilson]

@firstrepublic your iPhone app is taking the contents of my copy/paste buffer when I launch it. Could someone look into why you’re doing this? Potential privacy/security issues with this practice.

[Daniel Ritchie @deploydan]

@alex_gurevich @semil @Apple Suggesting the only solution to allow SMBs to compete against <massive company A> by paying for advertising by sending money to <massive company B> and then blaming consumers because they have an expectation of privacy is… ridiculous

Make a desirable product.
