Waymo One now open to all riders in San Francisco, w/ no waitlist. Come one;
Come all!

Can’t wait for new riders to try this out!

[Waymo @Waymo]

We’re excited to announce that Waymo One is now open to SF riders — no more waitlist or invite codes! This is a key milestone in our mission to be the world’s most trusted driver, & we're thrilled to get more of you where you’re going safely. Ride today. https://t.co/qDv35gD3MI

@jake_burns18 Th fact that there was even a chance that could have been changed to a touchback for the defense just goes to show how bad the rule is. There is absolutely no way a slight bobble should mean it could be a turnover. Worst rule in all of football.

Our mission is to be the world's most trusted driver and a new study by @SwissRe validates the exceptional safety record of the Waymo Driver. Learn more: https://t.co/aMTGDZqmtY

It’s either SQLite or LevelDB. Open source databases have to be reliable and they have to be understandable and well-tested.

I’m curious. What is the most well-written code on the planet? Something internal at OpenAI? Jane Street trading algorithms? Jax + XLA? Quake 3 source code? There has to be some single-best code repository. I have no idea what it is though

@brianwilt @Waymo There’s a messaging opportunity here, analogous to Apple’s intersection of Liberal Arts and Tech. We have the AI (tech), but we also have the Safety/Engineering/Automotive/DataScience part. (Emphasis on *safety*)

If Kyrie wins this Finals he’s definitely a HoF’er, right? It would be hard to deny as the close #2 on two championship teams.

[Brian Wilt @brianwilt]

We’ve avoided a meaningful number of injuries over @Waymo’s 10M+ rider-only miles. Sometimes a specific instance can be more eye-opening than the stats. We’re not perfect, but our driver never gets distracted and can react faster than a human.

In the coming weeks, we will begin testing fully autonomous rides — without a human driver— for our employees on San Francisco Peninsula city streets north of San Mateo.

@tvaziri You did it, Ace!
