I feel the worst for the @GM Super Cruise team, which has already developed and deployed a terrific driver-assistance system. Level 3 is minefield, and I hope they don't mess up the good thing they already have.

When it comes to a potential rollback of EV policy in a Trump administration, this points to exactly why that's a far more complicated and nuanced conversation than many assume:

I wonder if this has changed a single vote. And if it hasn't, I think it's worth asking: why not?

When I was in Austin last month, I got a chance to catch up on the latest developments with @VW's self-driving ID Buzz and the company's ongoing testing in a city that's become a burgeoning robotaxi hotbed. https://t.co/lTHnduJWtj

Self-driving tech companies are increasingly seeking third-party audits and assessments of their safety systems and cultures, @Gatik_AI, @aurora_inno and @Waymo among them. Here's what's driving that: https://t.co/aAlBeAvpJ5

Commercial-grade robotaxi spotted in greater LA:

If you’re in LA for some corporate puffery and want to experience fully autonomous ride-hailing for yourself, DM me!

Utility companies have a big role to play in the EV transition. This week's Shift podcast explores how @MyBGE has implemented first-of-their-kind programs to ensure customers have a smooth experience. https://t.co/6A4ZwWz5zX

With a fresh $500 million investment, @ToyotaMotorCorp deepens its long-standing ties with @jobyaviation. https://t.co/TfDKgP2xCf

This should reverberate in every board room. If you consider American exceptionalism as a birthright, let "underdog" sink in.

When it comes to the car business, the Motor City was once the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Now the Detroit 3 are the undisputed underdogs, playing catchup. Behind on software, overweight on costs, way back on batteries and battery supply chains. Not

Great to be in Austin. Big thanks to @lgtechventures investment director Sungkwon Kang for a terrific discussion on making battery investments at a time of great political and geopolitical uncertainty -- and much more at #MOVEamerica2024. https://t.co/quFf3eTyHD

Pleased to have @luminartech CEO Austin Russell back on the Shift podcast this week, to discuss the state of the lidar industry and what it will take to commercialize lidar at scale. $LAZR https://t.co/vEUTc3RueK

RT @Gatik_AI: Gatik is proud to announce that Adam Campbell, our Senior Manager of Safety Innovation and Impact, has been named to the @Aut…

RT @BethOsborneT4A: It is important that you see the driver that is running their vehicle over you. That way, you know who to haunt.

After a rocky year, @nuro is hitting the comeback trail with a new strategy. https://t.co/CUIOWyMueD

Great to dive into the biggest regulatory issues facing autonomous vehicles with @arielswolf!

Ariel Wolf @arielswolf

Good conversation with @PeterCBigelow on new CA proposed #AutonomousVehicles regs that open door for AV truck testing and deployment https://t.co/GrMoz9Wk60

End of the road: @Mobileye said today it will end development of lidar technology. It is "less essential for future eyes-off systems," per company. ... I wonder how much they view camera-only @wayve_ai as a growing competitor.

"All the major roads around here have buggy lanes, which are also perfect as bike lanes.” ... Loved this story on e-bikes and the Amish from @alanohnsman. https://t.co/vWPkqRoLjb

This is a big deal, as it lets @Waymo serve some of the most lucrative ride-hailing routes. Another milepost that autonomy is becoming more real every day.

Waymo @Waymo

Waymo is taking off at @PHXSkyHarbor! Starting today, we're offering all riders 24/7 curbside pickups and dropoffs. And this week, we'll surpass 100K airport trips served to date. Prefer PHX Sky Train? No worries, we still serve the 24th and 44th St stations, too! https://t.co/pszKCR1Tpa
