My mission is to document autonomous vehicle progress—from the first driverless miles, to the robotaxis of today, and into the distant future!

Dang... I never bothered to translate most of the captions, but I still enjoyed having some fun/cute videos in my timeline every day. Your service was greatly appreciated 🫡

As of today, Waymo is opening its rider-only Downtown Phoenix taxi service to the public! This means that anyone can download the app and take a spin in the I-PACEs. They also invited me out to record some videos, the first of which will be up shortly!

As promised, an hour and 21 minutes of Waymo full self driving, no safety driver up front! (Some self-chosen ride highlights timestamped in the description)

Many kind words today, thank you all. :) And of course, a special thanks goes to the team at Waymo for making this dream reality, and for letting me record video. (Not to mention publishing the mistakes) Shows a huge level of confidence in your product not many others can match

No video since it was a private ride with extended family (and I still don't have a functional GoPro back yet) but I just saw it make this turn with no light to protect it, and a bus blocking the view where the yellow dot is. Pretty sure that's new behavior, very impressive!

I used to work at 42, and I'm pretty sure I was sitting in a conference room on break when I first watched the video where you said you'd "give your left nut" to see an Intel fab. This day has been long awaited, I'm so so excited to see your reaction :D

Testing Waymo at the airport terminals tonight--in the two brief loops I made, there were like 5 or 6 cars picking up and dropping off people. Saw someone loading luggage in the back too. So cool to see real people using it for real travel purposes!! :D

I'm a Walmart cashier, I'll let you in on maybe partially why they don't.
Management REALLY REALLY does not like when an employee is "doing nothing." So the moment the lines ease up (store is less busy early and late) the extra cashiers are sent to do something else.

Never gotten to see this before today--how the Waymo driver sees and reacts to an emergency vehicle ("reacts," we were stopped at a traffic light) The lights in the car turned on and I believe the doors unlocked as well, very well thought out

Waymo Chandler and Downtown Phoenix service areas. If Chandler's expanded by just one more mile north, they would be connected by light rail. Still: very exciting!

Had zero idea this was going to go huge and turn into a PR microburst, my apologies to Waymo. Think I ruined my already slim chances of getting a job there... target Intel as a backup then? (for those typing "hey don't you already-" a contracting position doesn't count lol)

Dear Waymo,
Please please please consider adding a queuing system for cars; yet again I've gone to make a trip with everything worked out in advance, then it cancels the moment I hit request--all progress is lost. Then the refreshing ratrace begins. Not a great look :/

Headed to the airport last week; didn't have the heart to tell the Lyft driver why I only wanted a short ride from my house to a random neighborhood west of the railroad tracks. 😂
Sorry guy, you were great though!

If you guys haven't seen this Waymo video yet, get ready for:
• Driving in the rain, wet roads
• Crossing guard with hand signals
• Disengagement
• Absolutely ridiculous construction.
• Peek at the control app
• Emergency vehicle
• And more!

What would be legendary was if google's network supported adding apple devices manually. Like, I have a mac (but pixel 7) and my airpods pro 2 WILL NOT show up in Find My. (endless troubleshooting etc) If I could say "hey pixel this paired device is my earbuds, spread the word"🔥

Took my first Waymo ride in a while, with a safety driver since it rained last night. Looks like they removed the large tablet screen up front, replaced only by a Pixel with the Ops app. (Still have the

This change means we lost a few things:

There is truly nothing quite like the serene feeling of smoothly gliding down the street in an electric autonomous vehicle, especially after sunset.
Blissful relaxation....

Heyo, not a sponsorship offer, but an AV enthusiast just reaching out to say if you ever want to do a video about waymo self driving cars, or not do a video and just ride in one at all, I'm in their public program and can bring along anyone I like for a ride! :D

Holy cow this rocks
It'll never ever ever happen, but if they added transparency by putting that little decision-tree popup on the rider screen and showed what's happening fleet-response-wise in realtime, that would be ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!
We’ve built the Waymo Driver to operate without the need for human intervention, and in order to do that sometimes, it requires additional context from our fleet response team. See their role in helping us safely scale:

Quarterly (ish) Chandler Waymo update: everything looks to be pretty much the same. Though I can't confirm, it appears as if testing operations in Arizona have scaled way way down within the last few months. Only time I see AVs around here anymore is whenever I call one.

Even for just a little Twitter video, you put a perspective tilt, vignette, a nice bit of depth blur (thingy idk) and a smooth fade out at the end.

I know they're kinda joking but like, this comes off as childish and insecure.
I have a MacBook, Google Pixel, and Samsung Tab, and I enjoy the unique utility of each in their own right.
Not everyone has to have the same phone as you.

Might be crazy but I feel like they were getting better with efficiency, then all of a sudden they cranked up the detour knob to 11. Videos are getting stale. Doesn't matter which destination or pickup I choose, it takes the exact same routes. Only the last bit varies.
