Hard to argue Waymo hasn't gone anywhere, given their public pilots.

The other one I know of is Wing partnering with Doordash in AUS: https://help.doordash.com/consumers/s/article/Drone-Delivery...

I'd say its hard to argue that Waymo HAS gone anywhere. Can I buy a waymo? Can I rent a waymo taxi to take me to the airport?

In Phoenix you can as long as you live in a 200 square mile area comprising big parts of the Phoenix metro. And not just to the airport -- you can take it dinner, to the golf course, etc. SF and LA "coming soon".

I, no joke, encounter 4-5 of those white Jaguar driverless Waymo vehicles that are covered in sensors and cameras every day. They're all over my neighborhood. I believe (but havent confirmed) that normal folks can use them in this area too.

Intrinsic managed to purchase Vicarious AI for so little money that my options were completely underwater (by a sizable margin too), so I guess that works.

When I worked there we called it "the money furnace"

Waymo was one of their projects https://waymo.com/

Didn't Google Brain start as an X project?

EDIT: It did, it's listed on that page. "Attention is all you need" was published by Brain and was a key contributor to the current AI boom.

Everyday Robots was recently kneecapped: https://www.wired.com/story/alphabet-layoffs-hit-trash-sorti...

Yeah, they released 20 million mosquitoes in Fresno

Hard to argue Waymo hasn't gone anywhere with the number of their Taxis I see driving around Scottsdale. I see multiple everyday and I only really drive along a single road as part of my commute. I don't think they've "made it" yet, but it's impressive tech I can actually use nonetheless.

Just like the moon landing: testing it out in Arizona before doing it for real. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/coconino/?cid=FSEPRD611864
