As the Waymo Driver demonstrates strong performance in freezing conditions this winter, we’re moving beyond core technical validation. Driving in multiple snowy cities, we are now refining the rider experience and logistics required for consistent service in snow.

Most Waymo cars serve riders, some chase storms. Over the coming months, we'll be testing in Truckee, CA; Upstate New York; and across Michigan–from the Upper Peninsula to the metro Detroit area–to refine our system’s performance in even harsher weather conditions this winter.

I remember getting to sit in an early self-driving car prototype at Google X many years ago. So it was a real thrill to ride around west LA in a @Waymo. While I'm 38, my son had his first autonomous vehicle ride at age 4. To him this is already normal (though exciting as well!).

I recorded this during the storms with my friends @robochen and @danrothenberg - it’s really amazing how far Waymo has come on handling the weather.

A reliable ride-hail service means safely getting riders from A to B, rain or shine. Here’s the @Waymo Driver navigating Arizona’s monsoons last month. Always encouraging to see that what were once viewed as big challenges for AVs are now standard in our fully autonomous service.

“Foggy” is a good way to describe #SF in these late summer months — developing a fully-featured #Waymo Driver that handles dense fog conditions is key for getting WaymoOne customers from A to B, any time and in any weather.

Septembrrr in San Francisco might be around the corner, but we’re taking you on a journey of the Waymo Driver navigating the city from May Gray and June Gloom to No-Sky July and Fogust. We look forward to seeing you again after your week-long getaway, @KarlTheFog! 🤖🚘🌫️

The Waymo Driver adjusts to dynamic situations like construction, road closures, and traffic to get riders where they’re going safely and efficiently everyday.

San Francisco is the cradle of innovation for world-changing tech like self-driving cars. Yet city officials have lied about them with fabricated statistics. Why are electeds going out of their way to stamp out tech that saves lives? We have to expose the lies and fight back.

@MikeSievert @TMobile Hey @MikeSievert -- I'm having a customer pain point right now. I've been trying to have my fully paid off phone from T-Mobile unlocked and have been given the runaround by your CS agents -- I've called in 5 times with each agent giving me a new reason to wait x more days. ???

For more than 10 years @TMobile has been shaking things up with our #Uncarrier moves. We’re still at it today and our Q1 results show that our consistent focus on relieving customer pain points is what drives our industry leading success! $TMUS

Capabilities of our 5th-gen #WaymoDriver continue to increase, as we work to scale up our Waymo One service. One of the many dimensions of rapid progress is weather: rain, wet roads, puddles… the Waymo Driver handles all smoothly and safely.

@getawair Did I just receive an email that you'll be shutting down support for basic functionality on "legacy" devices, rendering our devices useless...while still supporting new products in the product line? Devices that could be purchased at major retailers just 2 yrs ago?

Talking to @elonmusk on Clubhouse right now, Robinhood CEO @vladtenev says the company’s external clearinghouse partner, using a complicated formula tied to volatility, demanded it post $3 billion in collateral to back meme stock margin trades last Thursday.

@gilbert I imagine there has to be an ecosystem play as they grow their product portfolio and potentially even business lines. What’s the bull case there?

Casper S-1 is out. For every dollar of revenue in 2019, they spent: $0.50 on COGS (50% gross margin) $0.36 on sales and marketing $0.34 on G+A (mostly people, only 1% of which is R+D) Biggest driver of the business going forward is improving efficiency on marketing spend.
