Waymo hits 100K.

The robotaxi company says its doing 100,000 paid trips a week, up from 50,000 a week last May. This comes after the company got rid of its waitlist in San Francisco, and expanded its service area in the city. Saswat Panigrahi, chief product officer, had this to say about the milestone:

People still think of autonomous vehicles as the faraway future, but for more and more people, they’re now an everyday reality.

People also don’t want to hear lots of robot cars honking at each other in parking lots as part of their everyday reality, but I digress. (Fixed this time, hopefully?)
