Waymo is the driver I trust most, and I'm not alone. 400k+ rides every week across 6 US metros. It's clearly time to scale @Waymo. 20+ new cities across the US + international in '26. We @a16z are fired up to deepen our partnership and quadruple down in the Series D. [image]

waymo is doing literal on the ground sci fi w/ autonomous point a to b for humans & goods at scale (a *real* human problem since the dawn of existence) & the valuation is only 1/6th of openai & less than half of anthropic? that's remarkable. why wasn't i invited to invest?
