WIRED · Tesla Got a Permit to Operate a Taxi Service in California—but There’s a CatchBy Aarian Marshall
Continued thread

The True Believers will keep it inflated for as long as possible, but global anti-american sentiment, Elon's fashy flag flying, and a dated product line are going to do more damage to Tesla than any good his ham-handed rollout of autonomous taxis would have done. And you just know thats going to be botched. And there will be a LOT of media attention on #robotaxi 's first fatalities. Tesla as it is now is done

Uber riders can select to get a Waymo driverless robotaxi in Austin starting today!

Note: Waymo only operates within a 37-square-mile area in Austin, which includes Hyde Park, Downtown, Montopolis, and other “popular destinations", and on local streets only - no highways.

There is no guarantee a Waymo will show up. The number of robotaxis is limited.
