Waymo is coming to DC and London. I assume they'll also be targeting centers of political power throughout the rest of the world. Starting on the West Coast made sense as a technical strategy, but the huge disadvantage is that nationa legislators and regulators don't go there enough. So lots of people can blithely assume that self-driving taxis are a decade away, or that Elon Musk is going to solve it. That's a dangerous business problem. Waymos don't seem possible til you've ridden a few of them, and then they're ordinary.
