While everyone watches AI, Google broke time itself. Their quantum chip just solved a problem that would outlast the universe — in 5 minutes. And this is just the start... What you need to know about Willow — and how it'll transform humanity in 2030+: 🧵

Today we are announcing Nashville 🎸as our next robotaxi-enabled city! You’ll see driverless @cruise AVs there in a few months. This brings us from 1 city to 7 in about a year - and there are still more to come… Here’s how👇(1/9)

@olivercameron @Cruise Thank you for everything you did for us at Cruise, you'll be missed, and I'll be eagerly watching what challenge you take on next!

I recently left @Cruise after 2 amazing years. In that time, we launched & scaled cars with no driver to tens of thousands of happy customers. I'm super proud to have worked at such a special place. What's next after 7 years in self-driving cars & AI, and what did I learn? 👇

Our latest release is rolling out to the @cruise fleet! Major improvements related to driving in a human-like way, especially around cyclists and pedestrians. Here an AV moves to safely pass two cyclists going the wrong way.

I am excited to announce @Cruise will go live in Houston and Dallas in the next few months! Supervised autonomous driving will start in Houston in a few days, with Dallas to follow soon after.

Well folks, we did it. I have been waiting for this day for almost 10 years. I am proud to announce @Cruise is now running 24/7 across all of San Francisco! This is a pivotal moment for our business. Let me tell you why 👇(1/6)

I can’t count the times I’ve been told that AVs will *never* be able to handle certain situations. How about taking a passenger through North Beach on St. Patrick’s day? Absolutely wild. Thanks to this driverless @Cruise AV (named Twin Peaks) for the clip.

Last year @Cruise AV's apparently drove 10x more driverless miles in California than any other company. We grew about 50x year over year. Lots of challenging bottlenecks are now out of the way, but I'm sure there are more ahead. Source: dmv.ca.gov/portal/news-an…

ready for rough roads 👀

At @Cruise we just hit 600,000 driverless miles! Another great milestone for the team. Notably, the last 100k miles came in 8x faster than the first 100k.

I wish @Redfin listings had a comments section

Today @Cruise launched *daytime* driverless rides. Service is live for Cruisers and will launch to the public soon. First ride was this morning around 8:30 am:

My Cruise AV is on its way to pick me up right from my apartment for the first time – couldn't be more excited! #LifeAtCruise

We've seen people try *really* hard to win the Darwin Awards. It's not cute and can put others at risk. This driverless @cruise AV (named Pudding) has a better reaction time than most drivers in order to help make our communities safer. Please be responsible out there, folks.

MORGAN STANLEY: “My fully driverless ride last night (9:20pm) in a Cruise vehicle through the streets of San Francisco is genuinely difficult to put into words. Call me and I’ll do my best to explain. But just, wow. Very impressive stuff.” [Jonas] $GM

Some fun news - @Cruise is bringing driverless rides to Austin and Phoenix later this year.

.@Cruise may be the first all-electric, driverless service to welcome public riders in a major US city, but they're not stopping there. @kvogt details what's next to @Arm CEO @renehaas237, as we work together to enable the next generation of autonomous vehicles built #onArm.

@firstrepublic your iPhone app is taking the contents of my copy/paste buffer when I launch it. Could someone look into why you’re doing this? Potential privacy/security issues with this practice.

@alex_gurevich @semil @Apple Suggesting the only solution to allow SMBs to compete against <massive company A> by paying for advertising by sending money to <massive company B> and then blaming consumers because they have an expectation of privacy is… ridiculous Make a desirable product.
