    Its awesome. i dont understand why people want EV companies to fail. Im obviously a Tesla fan and its the only EV I will own for the foreseeable future, but I do not want any of these companies to fail. I want to see mass adoption, regardless of mfg. You gotta be r****ded to go back to ICE if you have the option.

    Waymo is introducing fully autonomous driving in five new cities: Miami, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Orlando. Operations start today in Miami, and will begin in the remaining four cities over the coming weeks, ahead of opening our doors to riders next year. While going rider-only was once considered a technical feat, it's become routine for Waymo. We've built a generalizable Driver, powered by Waymo’s demonstrably safe AI, and an operational playbook to reliably achieve this milestone, and our safety- and community-first approach, enables us to bring it to riders faster than ever.

    Waymo is expanding rapidly.

    Where is Robotaxi?

    I think they are still waiting for the tunnels to get bored, so maybe next month. But just you wait, it'll be awesome!

    It's clear that globally, internal combustion engines have peaked and EVs are increasing in number.

    This statement from RDW, the Netherlands transportation safety agency, is a "read between the lines" acknowledgement that Tesla will not be able to deploy FSD Supervised in Europe. Some speculation that one of the things Tesla needs to do is to provide the FSD data they have. However, they have refused to release that to any regulatory entity anywhere since 2014. Wonder why?

    Tesla is simply hiding and obscuring safety data because they know that their self driving technology is not safe enough. Waymo is so far ahead right now that. Tesla is a company that has a valuation built on lies, empty promises, missed deadlines. I hope @Space Ghost is smart enough to get out and leave others holding the bag.

    Your trolling is lame.

    Show me your short position when you called it ... which was literally at the bottom. Idiot.

    At least there's videos of a self-driving Waymo.

    Until Tesla has a single self-driving car with no safety driver on the road, Tesla fans should not talk

    Good thing human drivers don’t kill any animals on the road.

    October 2016
    Musk announced that all new Tesla cars would be built with the necessary hardware for "full self-driving capability" and outlined a vision for owners to allow their cars to work as robotaxis.

    April 2019
    Musk made a bold prediction, stating that Tesla would have one million robotaxis on the road by 2020. The vehicles would be enabled via a software update.

    2020-2024
    Tesla continued to develop its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, which became available as a beta feature to customers, but the one-million robotaxi goal was not met.

    October 2024
    Tesla officially unveiled the Cybercab, a purpose-built, two-seater robotaxi designed without a steering wheel or pedals. Musk stated production would "probably" begin before 2027.

    June 2025
    Tesla launched a limited robotaxi ride-hailing service in Austin, Texas, using modified Tesla Model Y vehicles with human safety monitors present.

    Almost 10 years now. Not a single driveless robotaxi on the road.

    What does production of cars have to do with a single robotaxi that's running TODAY. on dec 8, 2025. nothing.

    But yes continue to pump it. My TSLA shares thanks you.
