Pretty misleading title, but I think this is not an expansion of Waymo to the general public, but a getting rid of the safety drivers for some people participating in the closed-invite only preview but no longer under NDA. Seems like another incremental step forward. Google turned off the PR firehouse on Waymo over the past year, so I think many were starting to think the tech had hit a wall and wasn't ever going to be able to get rid of the safety driver. I suppose this makes me cautiously optimistic. I don't think self driving needs to handle all roads in all conditions to be economically useful.
- actuator 6y agoI am looking forward to Waymo Via. From an economic profitability standpoint, that looks like the best option at this time.
