Waymo's Quiet Takeover: Are Self-Driving Taxis Already Mainstream?

from Plaintext

Cole and Soren dig into Waymo's explosive ridership growth and debate whether autonomous taxis have already crossed the tipping point from novelty to inevitability. They clash over whether Tesla or Waymo wins long-term, unpack the labor displacement nobody wants to talk about, and explore the second-order effects — from the death of parking lots to the unsolved ethics of machines that kill. A sharp look at a future that's arriving faster than most people realize.─────────────────────────────LINKS & RESOURCES▶ Amazon — AI & Finance Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ai+finance+investing&tag=plaintext05-20 Books on AI, investing, and the future of money▶ Amazon — Best Budget Microphones: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=budget+podcast+microphone&tag=plaintext05-20 Gear to level up your audio setup(Some links above are affiliate links.
