DeepMind, and by extension AlphaGo, AlphaFold, AlphaStar, AlphaCode.

Waymo, which is rolling out robotaxis in a few places. Not sure which department or subsidiary is responsible for their TPUs, the Sycamore 53-qbit quantum processor, or LaMDA.
Waymo, ok, I don't live in that area. How can I try any of the other projects you listed?
