“It's a little freaky not to have a driver,” says @AndersonCooper as he rides in a Waymo robotaxi. https://t.co/bZB4nh9ItX

We’re expanding in Miami, with Austin, Atlanta, Houston and the SF Bay Area up next. Soon we'll cover 1,400+ square miles across 11 cities. We’re helping more people get around safely and seamlessly.

Street racing at 125+ mph on the I-10 in LA led to a crash, but the Waymo Driver saw it coming: it detected the anomalous situation early, tracked the reckless vehicle post-crash, and maneuvered defensively to safely bypass the scene.

Thank you to @billyriggs for sharing so eloquently the safety opportunity that AVs offer cities -- not sometime far away in the future, but today.

"We are applying maximum scrutiny to a system demonstrating measurable safety gains, while applying minimal accountability to the status quo system that continues to produce predictable, preventable deaths. ...We have created a political and regulatory environment that preferences human drivers first, where the safest systems face the highest bar and the most dangerous ones are simply accepted as the cost of doing business." Prof. Billy Riggs, @sfchronicle

This notion that the data must be fake because the peer-reviewed analysis of crash data reported to the government was originally done by the research team at Waymo makes no sense. You can download the data straight from NHTSA! You can do your own analysis!

Make a better argument than ‘fake news’

we need to pause NY DOT until we can figure out what’s going on

Roughly 56,400 road deaths per year in the US (~37k in 2025) + EU (~19.4k in 2025). A 90% cut saves ~50,800 lives annually there.

By numbers, that's like the peak annual impact of the global polio vaccine rollout (preventing 300k+ paralytic cases and thousands of deaths yearly pre-eradication efforts), one of history's biggest single medical breakthroughs.

We’re moving the needle 📈 We’ve officially doubled our paid rides per week in less than a year. This is what responsible and effective scaling of autonomous technology looks like.

You're not sacrificing yourself as you say. You choose to sit on the sidelines because you're afraid! Your pride makes your head explode before you can even come up with a germ of an idea! You're petrified by your own fucking standards and your fear of failure! This is the truth!

Anatomy of a Hail Mary

EVA STRATT: You are not a victim, Ryland. Not at all. Your generosity conceals something dirtier and meaner. You're incapable of facing your ambitions and you resent me for it, but I'm not the one who put you where you are. I had nothing to do with it!

[carlos 🆑 @cmlasa]

@Scobleizer What are your thoughts on situations like this then? (e.g. sun glare persisting over an extended period of time)

@tszzl Elitist take

[Waymo @Waymo]

Our new safety data is in 📈

Over 170M miles through Dec 2025, the Waymo Driver was involved in 13x fewer serious injury or worse crashes than human drivers in those same cities.

At our current scale, that means preventing a serious injury crash every 8 days—a real, positive impact on road safety.
