Waymo’s Post

🚗💡 "The advent of Waymo's driverless cars marks a revolutionary leap in technology. This innovation promises to transform our urban landscapes, redefine our daily commutes, and bring a new era of efficiency and safety in transportation. However, as we stand on the brink of this technological revolution, it's crucial to address the elephant in the room: the potential for mass unemployment among drivers. We need to be prepared to address this challenge and equip these workers with the skills they need to thrive in the new mobility landscape. #Waymo #DriverlessCars #Innovation #FutureOfWork #futureoftravel #jobloss

Waymo will be the first #robotaxi company to take on faster speeds on the American highways, after others face safety concerns. The video below shows a great visual on how this will work. Check out this #forbes article below by the brilliant Alan Ohnsman. https://lnkd.in/dT95bnTx

Living in SF feels like stepping into 2030. Waymos are everywhere since they opened to GA last week, alongside Zoox Test Vehicles, Rivians, Cybertrucks, and soon to come Archer Air-Taxis. It's a daily reminder of why this city remains the center of innovation. As an early adopter, I've been commuting via Waymo for a few months now. The evolution has been remarkable: 1. Safety? Check. Never once felt unsafe in my months of daily commute. If anything, it's overly cautious and polite, for example yielding every time there's an emergency vehicle in a nearby radius, even if not on the path. 2. Comfort? Hardly any abrupt braking, smoother rides, less motion sickness. 3. Privacy? Your own bubble with your own music. What's interesting is the adoption curve. I've noticed a clear divide: skepticism about driverless taxis until people actually experience it. Yet, every Uber/Lyft driver I've chatted with in SF seems unfazed by Waymo, and believe it will never become the norm. Watching pedestrians and drivers react is amusing when I ride in one. The photos, the questions – it's a constant reminder that we're living in the future, right now. With Waymo expanding to other cities (hello, Atlanta!), I'm curious to see how they'll tackle highways and how different markets will respond. Every airport run has me dreaming of the day Waymo goes long-distance. Who else is riding the autonomous wave? Curious to hear your experiences and predictions. #Waymo #DriverlessTaxi #AIinMotion #FutureOfWork
