Keeps on being rolled out in red states while being delayed in blue states, quite unfortunate.

What “anti-science slopulism” are you referring to? And what does corporate rollout strategy have to do with science?

Why are the cars so big? Wouldn't it make sense to have a bunch of much smaller, single person vehicles?

No freeways. But Waymo now is available to all of Dallas? Does that include the suburbs?

It's open to _everyone in Dallas_, not available _in all of Dallas_.

everyone != everywhere

I’m thinking that since 2015. Like BMW C1 just with doors on the side and a bit more security. This would approx allow 3-4x as many travellers on a given route compared to traditional cars.
