I've been remiss and not done an introductory post.
I am one half of the Motoring Podcast, a weekly motoring news show. We also have extra episodes where we go into more details.
I will shout about cars, car software/security. Like to point out falsehoods around it all, no matter who says them.

Nice video & pics of at least 50 & possibly 100+ Waymo robots queued on a public street for their depot:
14th St between Folsom and as far as the camera eye can see, San Francisco
Notice they are using/roboclotting both traffic lanes of a one-way street.
Congestion as an automated service.
