  Waymo should call up Volkswagen and place an order to ensure it goes into production. Waymo should have a mixed fleet of 2 adult passenger vehicles like this one, 4-5 passenger models as well as some vans. It'll save them a lot of money, and will make streets safer by normalizing small vehicles.

    In terms of footprint (4.8 meters long, 1.75 m wide) I'd say it's only small for US standards. It seems to look rather smaller than it is. > 188 inches (4,775 mm) long, 69 inches (1,744 mm) wide, and just 55 inches (1,392 mm) tall.

  VW's term is "near-production" -- an achievement which, of course, can declared arbitrarily.
