There is no reason to believe Waymo or Zoox will be any different.
Remember all the hype about how Uber and Lyft would allow people to live car-free?
Well, it turns out ridehail has no discernible impact on car ownership at all.

BTW, a 2021 Carnie Mellon study found that ridehail's arrival in a new city *increases* car ownership.
The reason: Few residents ditch their car, while some become ridehail drivers and buy vehicles.

EVs are good and all, but how many new metro lines and hsr lines have come online in the past year? How many new bus routes? What new service patterns on existing transit infrastructure have enabled higher ridership? I feel like you gotta look at the whole system here
"Far from a peak, China's gasoline demand is estimated to have fallen 9% in October on the year to 12.5 million tons, with average daily use roughly flat with September..."
China's oil demand is entering structural decline.

EVs put an end to China's usual holiday surge in gasoline use

I am astounded by how close in age I am to a lot of comedians that have been prominent for years
Every detail of this story is astonishingly weird but by far the thing that shocked me the most is that Pete Davidson is only 31 years old

Lotta worse stuff happening in the world but it's real sad they're tearing down the vaillancourt fountain, it's super historically cool and it's also been a center for a lot of fun and silliness for skaters and bike people and all kinds of folks who are key to the city but not always appreciated

This is a fun chart!
The green is the main bsky load balancer traffic throughput from Saturday night, and the purple is how much traffic there was 7 days before (the previous Saturday)
The spike is due to the world series - pretty incredible! ⚾

It was great to get an old sports Twitter run here for the world series. Even random political accounts that still use the word "sportsball" were commenting on how nice it was to see people coming together about something fun in place of toxic doomer political stuff they spend all day with
