"The future is unevenly distributed"
I just spent a week in Austin and took a half dozen Waymo rides. Robotaxies are definitely here and they are awesome. There's no reason why they won't be coming for Walnut Creek.
- milkytron 4mo agoI'm sure they'll exist. I'm not sure they will be used for a majority of trips.
- jerlam 4mo agoI think Waymo was approved to operate in Walnut Creek and a lot of northern California in November 2025, but hasn't really expanded outside the peninsula. Since then, Waymo has actually regressed and stopped driving on freeways, which is a big problem for suburbs. Distances are farther and parking is more available, which suggests people would be taking Waymo less than in more dense areas.
