Glad to see Waymo going electric.

I suppose Waymo's fleet is already mostly electric by now. I remember them using Cryslers before, but then switched to I-Pace.

I wonder what number of these will be robo-taxis in the next 18 months? Uber recently partnered with BYD to introduce 100,000 robo-taxis in Abu Dhabi and Singapore. When it gets to those kind of numbers in the US the wider public will really start to notice the driving job losses. Some day the shoe is going to drop, and people will realize all human driving jobs are on the way out forever.
