Re: Next stop: Miami
#3I wonder when they will be able to provide service in northern cities (that get snow).
Once they can do that -- and (I guess) can prove profitable -- they could expand non-stop across the country.

#4I think the most interesting part is that the article says that Waymo's handing its operations to Moove. It seems like Waymo's trying to become a software provider while having other companies handle the capital-intensive parts.

#5Miami probably has some of the worst, most lawless drivers in the country — it's like a free-for-all out there. Makes me wonder if Waymo picked Miami as a kind of stress test for their self-driving tech. If they can handle the chaos there, they can probably handle just about anything.

#6Not from Miami, so I wonder (based on news etc.) if flooding is ever an issue for traffic in and around the city?

Miami car insurance fraud rings are going to have a fun trying to trick Waymo into rear-ending them. Wonder if it will work.

It is during and after a hurricane. I wouldn’t recommend taking a robotaxi during a storm though.

I'd imagine NYC to be worse than Miami.
Miami seems to share enough similarity in warm weather to SF to be a similar enough use case to expand while providing slightly different driving conditions to be able to dip ones toes in to the driving habits of a different city.

#10Jaguar discontinued the I-PACE and presumably does not manufacture them anymore. It must be the case that Waymo is cannibalizing their fleet capacity from other markets for every new city launch.
