    Today, we're starting the rollout of our fully autonomous rider-only service in four new cities simultaneously in Florida and Texas. Thrilled to welcome our latest riders in those cities!

    2026 will be remembered as the year that state AV laws divided America's great cities into haves and have-nots. Today @Waymo simultaneously launched to public riders in 4 new markets - bringing them to 10 metro areas. DC, NYC, and Boston remain mired in outdated regulations.

    Been working on this for nearly five years now, and thanks to @orlandomayor - who has been dogged in pushing for AV expansion, and so many others, the future is officially here in Orlando. You can read more in the release which is in the @Waymo thread below.
  • @deanwball Dean W. Ball on x
    Infuriating that DC politicians, who ostensibly care about reducing pedestrian deaths, cannot get behind bringing Waymo to town. There is no excuse for this policy position. You are essentially saying, “I support children being hit by cars.” Your entire moral framework is a sham.
