WAYMO LARGER THAN EXPECTED: Mehauff 🚘✈️ on X: "San Diego validation testing with @Waymo’s next generation platform, the Zeekr RT van This is a much better taxi platform versus a sedan. Customers prefer easier entry/exit and upright seating. Likely will be able to support handicapped riders." / X

NOT FAST ENOUGH: reed on X: "another three @waymo cities announced: minneapolis, tampa, new orleans https://t.co/FAP14f1rZE" / X

EVERY CITY ON EARTH INBOUND: Pony.ai on X: "Six upgrades are turning fully driverless rides into a cool everyday choice. Our Gen-7 #robotaxis are now offering fully driverless rides across Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Which new feature would you be most excited to try? #AutonomousDriving #AI #SmartMobility https://t.co/rlf25zFdnq" / X

GOOD4ELON Timothy B. Lee on X: "As several people have pointed out, this is partly about snow. For example Chicago probably isn't on the list because it's snowy there several months out of the year. But DC only gets a few days of snow per year and Waymo is actively testing there. Regulations are the problem." / X
