Autonomy Is a Series of Mount Everests | Marc Wimmershoff, VP of Autonomy Software at @zoox

Amazon Prime Air celebrates six months of drone delivery in Oakland County. Zero mishaps. WWJ’s Tim Pamplin got a look behind the scenes at Amazon’s Pontiac Drone Port.

this clip blows my mind. @waymo out here saving lives every day

Delighted to inform you that @Waymo merch has landed in SF 🙌

Uber is now very clearly targeting Waymo/pure AV-networks and claiming that a hybrid approach is needed for autonomy Some interesting points - AV-only networks (not mentioned but clearly this is Waymo) in SF/LA have already hurt driver utilization and hourly earnings - “In California, one AV does the work of about four drivers.” - "Recent fleet-wide outages in San Francisco and Wuhan highlighted how AVs can be challenged by sudden disruptions" Pretty convenient that a lot of the “responsible transition” framing also conveniently protects Uber’s marketplace role axios.com/2026/05/08/ube…

At @Uber, we believe deeply in the potential of AVs to create safer roads, lower emissions, and (over time) lower costs Realizing that potential requires more than technology - it requires getting the transition right To that end, we’re releasing a report on what we think “getting it right” looks like: — Being clear-eyed about the impact on workers — Ensuring AVs operate in underserved areas as they scale — Bringing cities & communities along for the ride

Zoox gets stuck, Tesla FSD Assists: Yesterday I was driving to the Cosmopolitan on the Las Vegas Strip where I came across an indecisive Zoox that had to reverse to fix its mistake. Tesla FSD v14.3.2 came & helped out by backing up automatically to give it room Great clip 🙂

watch @waymo dodge a human pulling a blind unprotected turn

You can just put your whole bike in a @Zoox

At least he did it outside..

@Waymo faces calls to pause its London robotaxi trial. The local Green Party for Brent has launched a petition to halt Waymo’s testing programme in London after a vehicle drove through a live police cordon in Harlesden. #ZagConnected Read more: zagdaily.com/connected/call…

Street racing at 125+ mph on the I-10 in LA led to a crash, but the Waymo Driver saw it coming: it detected the anomalous situation early, tracked the reckless vehicle post-crash, and maneuvered defensively to safely bypass the scene.

This isn't controversial. The real question is whether tesla can get to waymo levels of safety and scale. Because if they do, they have huge advantages from their vertical integration. Tesla has the super charging network and the ability to produce 5k cars a day. Waymos entire fleet is only 3k cars and has been the limiting factor to their growth.

We’re expanding in Miami, with Austin, Atlanta, Houston and the SF Bay Area up next. Soon we'll cover 1,400+ square miles across 11 cities. We’re helping more people get around safely and seamlessly.
