I know itโs been said so many times, but I just love @Waymo! I have to admit when Larry and Sergey would obsess over self-driving cars, I was skeptical, but itโs just so great.

SF voters on robotaxis:
Sept 2023: 44% support, 51% oppose
July 2025: 67% support, 29% oppose
What changed? People rode them.
Robotaxi opposition peaks before anyone has ridden. D.C., New York and Massachusetts are deciding at peak fear and minimum experience.

Surprise: An anti-Waymo astroturf group sounds like it is quite obviously a front for Uber, with whom it shares "public affairs" consultants in New York and Pennsylvania. https://t.co/nS6K5E50ei
Uber is so fucking shady.
The so called โPeopleโs First Transportation Allianceโ is actually funded by Uber. A more accurate name would have been the Uber First Transportation Alliance.
They are hiding the fact that theyโre funding this anti-autonomy group, and listed a bunch of โfounding membersโ of the group that had no clue their names were being used!
They just organized a protest against a bill that would bring autonomous driving to DC in 2028, demanding human drivers be required well past then. DC is such a critical city for autonomy, because we need congress to be able to try the technology for themselves. The fact that they canโt is holding federal autonomy legislation back.
Fuck Uber and everyone involved in this group. They want people to die so they can make money continuing to exploit their drivers.
