@GaryMarcus @NathanpmYoung Also Waymo is aiming to be in 10+ cities by the end of 2026, so even if Tesla totally takes over the Houston/Dallas/Austin taxi markets that might not be big enough.

@GaryMarcus @NathanpmYoung I think if Tesla starts having Cruise-type incidents (to say nothing of Uber ATG-type incidents) even Texas regulators are going to flinch.

@binarybits @NathanpmYoung it’s not bad but it is indirect and Musk is in a position to put a lot of pressure on Texas.

@NathanpmYoung @GaryMarcus This is why I think weekly driverless robotaxi rides is a good metric. Regulators won’t tolerate a robotaxi fleet at Waymo’s unless it is reasonably safe.

@GaryMarcus @binarybits Sure but will they get regulatory approval if they are dangerous?

Can you think of a source you’d trust?
