There is no question Waymo is a better consumer product for most trips around places like San Francisco proper.

So if you have a better product, why waste calories with membership cash grabs vs scaling your core mechanic? If there was a larger fleet, wait times wouldn’t be long— so line skipping wouldn’t be a problem.

Only conclusions I can come to: (1) Their core money mechanic (charging for rides) isn’t that attractive (2) they cannot scale fast enough, or (3) both

Love to have someone steelman the argument o/w

IMO; you should try the product. The car basically drives me everywhere with no interventions, including on errands around SF. Just plug in where via the Google Maps view.

I’ve been paying the monthly for a while. Very worth it to me.

Let’s see if this is the time for industrial robots,

Boston Dynamica: Majority Owner: Hyundai Motor Group (80%) Minority Owner: SoftBank (20%)

Don’t rule out Tesla’s Robotaxi. I’m 10 rides in (Bay Area— around SF proper), and it’s clean, cheap, and efficient. As good or better than Waymo.

IMO: - Tesla is pushing Waymo on pricing and service areas - Tesla will drop the safety monitor in the next 6 months**

**I say this as a FSD subscriber on my own car and seeing the arch of progress, albeit with a software branch that’s supposedly 3-6 months behind Robotaxi’s

Blame doesn’t matter here.

Sandbox rules simply don’t apply when real money is at stake— the contracts that sit behind these relationships are all that matters + a companies ability to stop doing business with one another.

Delta probably isn’t even entitied to a pro-rated refund of their prepaid CrowdStrike subscription. If Delta has a multi-year deal contract with CrowdStrike, Delta most likely have to keep paying CS for some time In the future.

CrowdStrike breached but almost certainly cured within allowable period.

Maybe they sue for gross negligence which I think may circumvent contractual liability limits in certain situations.

Is prioritizing developing these skills good for a child’s overall development?
