> Waymo One is rolling out in the Metro Phoenix area first. Over time, we hope to expand to new places and more people.

P.S. Why is the mobile experience on Medium so frustratingly bad? Between the permanent heading plus the "please download our app" heading I find it maddening. I also find the UX around reading comments to be unnecessarily confusing.

Don't worry, Medium on desktop is equally bad. Two persistent banners bottom and top plus a "pardon the interruption" popup. I really wish companies wouldn't use Medium as their blogging platform.

It's also started pushing entries into my browser history as I scroll past headings, stopping my back button from doing what I expect. Really gets my goat.

I’m guessing it would be possible to block those with uBlock Origin, or an equivalent software.

Because they really want you to: "please download our app".

I believe they are trying to gain negative publicity, because you know, all publicity is good. you see such comments about every article (some of them by me)
