Podcasts about Waymo

This episode covers one of the busiest weeks yet in the gig economy. We break down DoorDash's reported increase in background checks, what that could mean for drivers, and why some believe it's all part of a bigger metrics game. We also discuss the growing number of lawsuits, concerns over the use of Chinese AI, and the latest controversies surrounding the platform. We dive into Uber's ongoing legal battle over driver classification and the class action challenges that continue to threaten the company's business model. Waymo is facing mounting problems across the country, including a court order affecting nighttime vehicle charging operations in Santa Monica. Are autonomous vehicles ready for prime time, or are the issues starting to pile up faster than expected? Also on the show: Is the new DoorDash drone delivery program innovation—or just another PR stunt? MapleBear owns Instacart, but what about the bots? We examine the growing concerns surrounding automated order grabbing. Waymo's expanding list of operational problems nationwide. And finally... CRINGEMART—our latest look at the most ridiculous stories making headlines in the gig economy. If you drive for DoorDash, Uber, Instacart, Spark, or any other gig platform, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss the Waymo/Uber divorce going public, Zoox receiving NHTSA approval to charge for rides, Aurora earnings, and Qualcomm's BMW win as ADAS becomes the Trojan horse into autonomy.The Waymo/Uber relationship is unraveling in public, with The Financial Times confirming Waymo will launch its own app in Austin and Atlanta in January 2028 before the contract expires that May. Both sides are airing grievances, from dirty cars and bad routing to weather no-shows and unsustainable financial terms. Grayson goes on the record that the relationship terminates early, calling for a Waymo app in those markets by June 2027, while Walt takes the under.After 12 years and billions of dollars, Zoox can finally charge for a ride. NHTSA granted an exemption capped at 2,500 vehicles per year for two years, a ruling that also creates a potential viable deployment path for Tesla's Cybercab.In autonomous trucking, Aurora is targeting 1,000 trucks by the end of next year against 200 this year, a heavily back-end loaded ramp that depends on truck supply, Roush capacity, and unresolved questions about how the Volvo Autonomous Solutions margin split works. Meanwhile, Qualcomm's selection by BMW as lead compute for next-generation ADAS confirms the growth of the L2+ market and positions Snapdragon as the Trojan horse into autonomy compute.On the Foreign Autonomy Desk, Baidu began RT6 robotaxi testing in London with both Uber and Lyft on the outskirts of the city, received a full driverless permit in Hong Kong, and China resumed issuing robotaxi permits once again.Episode Chapters0:00 Waymo/Uber Divorce Goes Public5:45 Uber's Autonomous Vehicle Partner Problem10:28 Waymo's OEM Partner Signals12:25 Zoox Gets the Golden Ticket16:52 Advancing America's Safety and Competitiveness for the Evolution of National Deployments20:16 Aurora Q2 2026 Earnings27:43 How Big Is the OEM Risk?30:38 ADAS as the Trojan Horse Into Autonomy35:42 Ford BlueCruise Falls Short37:23 Foreign Autonomy Desk: Baidu RT6 Testing in London with Uber & Lyft41:33 Next WeekFollow The Road to Autonomy Indices--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

This week on America on the Road, Jack Nerad is joined by guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo (Chris Teague is off remodeling). They deliver two fresh road tests — 2026 Lexus NX 350h and 2026 Volvo EX30 Cross Country — and they unpack the latest JD Power APEAL study, California's EV funding irony and new EV incentives, Waymo robotaxi challenges, and Toyota's 2027 Crown and Sequoia updates. Special guest Jason Allan, founder of Bestest.com, also joins the show.

This week's briefing covers three things that are already changing the shape of construction, one of them from a dirt road in Texas at 4am.Bedrock Robotics was founded by the team behind Waymo's driverless technology. They do not build new excavators. They take the ones contractors already own, fit them with sensors and a computer, and the machine digs on its own. This week we filmed a full documentary with them at Proto Town, a 12 acre test site near Austin where some of the most advanced hard tech companies on earth go to build things they cannot build anywhere else. The operator who has spent his career inside these machines watched one run without him and his answer was relief. The people closest to autonomous equipment are not the ones campaigning against it. The contractor running them on live sites across Texas today says productivity is up, revenue is up, and his crews are happier.Then BlackRock. On Tuesday Meta and BlackRock announced a $14 billion data centre campus in El Paso. BlackRock owns 80%. Meta leases its own building back, operates it, and manages the construction. Roughly 90 cents in every dollar is borrowed. Wall Street used to lend money to these builds. It is now the one that owns them. That changes who your actual client is on the biggest programmes in the market.And then the numbers behind the whole cycle. Over the past fortnight the four biggest data centre customers on earth all opened their books. Moody's tallied what six technology companies will spend on this build this year. $785 billion, heading for a trillion next year. Their word for it was unprecedented. When a ratings agency uses that word, it means they have never had to grade anything like it.The question is no longer whether the work can be built. It is who is paying for it, and whether they can keep on paying.Drop your answer in the comments of this week's LinkedIn post.

Waymo, Apple, Meta and Google have constructed ecosystems that have immense leverage over the global economy and infrastructure. So how should antitrust law tackle that?Today on Second Request, Executive Editor Teddy Downey sits down with J. Wyatt Fore to discuss the emerging antitrust risks in edge computing and AI.

Waymo says its self-driving robotaxis are ready for take-two on the Bay Area's freeways. For more, KCBS's Steve Scott spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier and former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

Federal regulators have given the green light to Amazon-owned Zoox, granting the first commercial exemption for a purpose-built robotaxi without traditional driver controls. We break down how Zoox's unique steering wheel-free, carriage-style pod compares to existing fleets from Waymo and Tesla, what the NHTSA approval means for paid commercial deployment, and how the autonomous vehicle landscape is shifting on public roads.

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Every retailer preparing for autonomous delivery is watching the wrong vehicle; the real disruption isn't a drone or a sidewalk bot; it's the driverless car already parked in the customer's driveway.  These autonomous vehicles are the next curbside pickup agents. But what happens when dozens of unmanned vehicles all show up for the same six parking stalls at the same time? Join Shelley and Ben Seidl, CEO and Co-Founder of Autolane, as they discuss the potential crisis brewing at malls and stores for managing these fleets of cars. Major retail landlords, including Simon Property Group, Federal Realty, and Jamestown, are already installing driverless parking infrastructure across properties in Austin, Atlanta, Phoenix, San Jose, and beyond.  Planning ahead is never too early, and retailers need to be ready for new wave of autonomous deliveries.Special Guest: Ben Seidl, CEO & Co-Founder, Autolane For more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter.

Joe Rose and Omar Kelly debate the rise of self-driving cars, with Joe explaining why he wants nothing to do with Waymo while Omar argues that autonomous vehicles may actually be safer than many human drivers who are distracted by their phones, food, or other activities behind the wheel. The conversation shifts to Tony Romo's recent DUI and the responsibilities that come with being a public figure before taking a lighter turn as Omar opens up about his dating life. The guys also discuss age-gap relationships, changing perceptions around dating, and Omar's ongoing relationship chaos.

Hour 2 opens with Joe Rose and Omar Kelly debating the rise of self-driving cars, with Joe explaining why he wants nothing to do with Waymo while Omar argues autonomous vehicles may actually be safer than distracted human drivers. The conversation shifts to Tony Romo's DUI, Omar's dating life, age-gap relationships, and plenty of laughs along the way. The guys also react to Griffin Conine's clutch home run for the Marlins with his father, Jeff Conine, in attendance, sparking a discussion about memorable father-son moments in sports before transitioning into high school football. The hour wraps up with Locked On Dolphins host Kyle Crabbs joining the show to break down the latest from Dolphins training camp, including the outlook for Miami's defensive line, expectations for the rookie class, why continuity should benefit the Dolphins this season, Jacob Rodriguez's early impression, Chop Robinson's added size, and the biggest position battles to watch as camp continues.

Heartbroken, We're Missing Thompson!In this Wildcat 445 Episode, Mental points at the wrong part, Tim can't identify smoke, Chrissy gushes about ice cream and tells you when to shower while Chris enjoys a tepid tub. Really, we're a little heartbroken. Because for the first time in Everyone Racers history, none of us will be at the 24 Hours of Lemons race at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, and naturally, the weather forecast looks fantastic. You're welcome.Before the green flag drops in Thompson, Connecticut, we deliver the full race-weekend survival guide: arrival times, test day, BS and tech, the Saturday potluck, strict quiet hours, Sunday's late start, crowded paddock logistics, trailer drop, fueling, pit vehicles, showers, and why you should leave before the golf course starts launching balls toward the paddock.Then comes the famous Everyone Racers Virtual Track Walk.We break down Thompson's strange combination of road course, oval and changing pavement, including pit out, visual references, passing zones, flag stations, elevation, camber, bumps, surface transitions, traffic management and the corners most likely to punish overconfidence.Whether you're a Thompson rookie or have already collected trophies and broken parts there, this is the Thompson Speedway track guide to watch before the race.More importantly, we provide critical navigation to Bogey's Ice Cream and Snack Shop: leave the track through the parking lot, continue through the country club parking lot and go around to the back. Bring a bike, scooter or patient teammate, expect a line and respect the enormous portions.Also, ask the rest of your team whether they want ice cream before returning alone and eating yours in front of them. That is how broken race cars become broken friendships, just ask Chrissy.Elsewhere in Episode 445:• Mental prepares a land-speed car with wheel smoothies, Lexan and a drag parachute he may eventually have to deploy himself.• Tim hauls 2,100 pounds of drywall, prices $4,000 worth of insulation and welcomes his 1941 Lincoln Continental project.• Chris rewires the Lotus, climbs Colorado fourteeners without enough water and returns to sailboat racing.• We discuss Flock license-plate-reader failures, Waymo crash data and a Zoox robotaxi that drove into an active fire scene.• “Show Us Your Junk” brings a BMW 6 Series race-car project, a sorted Saab 9-3 Lemons racer benefiting Ranger Road and charity seats in Paul Dolan's 1941 Ford for Lemons of Love.• Listener feedback proves this community can inspire rookie race teams—and turns four podcasters into spaghetti eaters using AI… err…”AL”If you race 24 Hours of Lemons, ChampCar, Lucky Dog, SCCA, NASA or any other form of budget endurance racing, subscribe to Everyone Racers.We're closing in on 450 subscribers and chasing 1,000 by the end of the year.

Waymo's vehicle fleet will be returning to Bay Area freeways. The autonomous rideshare halted freeway rides in May after vehicles drove into construction zones. For more KCBS Radio News anchor Melanie Woodrow spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

This is our daily Tech and Business Report. Move over, Waymo. Amazon's driverless Zoox robotaxis has gotten to go-ahead to launch its vehicles in the U.S over the next two years. For more on this, KCBS Radio News anchor Holly Quan spoke with Bloomberg's Amy Stillman.

Regulators are starting work on new car-door escape rules after reports of people trapped and killed in Teslas when electric latches fail, but the issue wasn't treated as a defect requiring a recall. The conversation also blasts Tesla's vision-only approach as NHTSA seeks an internal “Radar Saves Us” document, and argues AVs operate in a standards-free Wild West. California lawmakers push bills to force robotaxis to cooperate with first responders and allow geofencing. Waymo's “safer than humans” claim is picked apart for shaky data and missing confidence levels. Backup cameras are praised for cutting child backover injuries and deaths, even as recalls pile up—especially Ford's.Support Safety.

What does it really take to solve impossible problems? In this episode of Leap Academy with Ilana Golan, Ilana sits down with Astro Teller, CEO of Google X (Alphabet's Moonshot Factory), to uncover the mindset, leadership principles, and innovation frameworks behind some of the world's most groundbreaking technologies—including Waymo, Wing, and Google Brain.

Slick pulls up in studio a decade after stepping away from music, dropping a brand-new five-song EP he made almost entirely with AI — and admitting he's not ashamed of it, unlike the artists who lie about using it. Slick talks about the difference between directing AI versus letting it take over, why day trading is a "long play" and not a get-rich-quick scheme, and how growing up hustling turned into real estate, fatherhood, and getting jacked. Plus, Waymo love, a hotel in Texarkana that might've been haunted, self-driving Teslas, and why Deep Ellum just isn't the move anymore.

Earnings and sales, 'remain fairly solid,' says WWJ Auto Expert Jeff Gilbert following a visit to General Motors this week by Pres Donald Trump. 'We're still seeing pickup trucks and SUVs as the most popular vehicles,' Gilbert tells Megan Lynch. He does see a trend of, 'longer and longer loans,' for car buyers. Gilbert also looks at a new insurance institute study of Waymo self-driving cars which reports fewer crashes than human-driven cars. (Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)

Veronique de Rugy argues autonomous vehicles like Waymo could reduce road fatalities by 94%, yet their adoption is stalled by opposition from trial lawyers and unions. Unions fear job losses for taxi, truck, and delivery drivers, though de Rugy argues automation historically transitions workers into higher-paying, less tedious roles. She emphasizes that driverless cars would provide life-changing accessibility for rural and elderly populations who currently lack reliable transportation options. (16)LA FIESTA DE LOS ANGELES

SCHEDULE FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-24-20261940 BERLINJeff Bliss reports from Los Angeles, where Mayor Karen Bass's "Inside Safe" program faces scrutiny as figures show 41% of participants returned to homelessness. Encampments have expanded significantly, with Skid Row growing from five blocks to over 50. Bliss notes that organized crime cartels reportedly rent dilapidated RVs to the homeless, profiting from government stipends. Despite rising homelessness rates and disappointing results, local politicians are criticized for a lack of accountability and for fostering a "homelessness industry." (1)Jeff Bliss notes the Oakland Athletics are preparing for a move to Las Vegas, with high-profile investor Mark Cubanjoining as a minority owner to boost the franchise's profile. Development plans include a unique heart-shaped hotel on a previously failed ferris wheel site near the future stadium. Meanwhile, Hollywood faces "creative destruction" as Pixarinitiates layoffs despite box office success. Additionally, location shoot bookings in Los Angeles have dropped 13%, signaling a shift in the film industry. (2)Richard Epstein critiques the Smithsonian's "Many Voices, One Nation" exhibit for its "woke" portrayal of American history. He argues the exhibit unfairly reduces Benjamin Franklin to an "alleged racist" while ignoring his foundational contributions. Epstein highlights the complexity of figures like Thomas Jefferson, who authored the Declaration of Independence yet held restrictive views on immigration. The discussion underscores a perceived ideological mono-culture within the history profession that prioritizes narrative over factual nuance. (3)Richard Epstein analyzes the Trump administration's reintroduction of tariffs, now targeting allies like Australia and the EU under the guise of combating "forced labor." Epstein characterizes these moves as "lawfare" and "mindless isolationism," noting that these allies often have superior working conditions compared to the U.S. He warns that such policies alienate essential partners needed to counter global threats from Russia, Iran, and China, effectively driving allies to organize independently. (4)Jim McTague reports from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where Costco gas prices have reached $4.09, causing "mind-numbing" costs for residents. While some business slowdowns are noted, local diners remain full, supported by a robust retiree demographic with "deep pockets." The real estate market is exceptionally tight, with only 200 homes available as New Yorkers continue to bid up prices for high-quality housing. McTague concludes with observations on local tourism and his upcoming road trip to Kentucky. (5)Lorenzo Fiato reports Italy is battling severe wildfires in Sicily and Sardinia amid a prolonged heatwave. Fiato reports that Italians face exorbitant fuel costs, reaching $9.50 per gallon on motorways due to heavy taxation. To avoid over-tourism in cities like Florence, he recommends visiting Ascoli Piceno, the "town of the 100 towers," known for its travertine architecture. He concludes with culinary recommendations, including the traditional Spaghetti Ascolana paired with local Pecorino or Rosso Piceno wines. (6)Bob Zimmerman reports Rocket Lab has secured major Pentagon contracts for hypersonic test launches, potentially utilizing a remote new facility in Alaska. SpaceX is rumored to be planning a massive spaceport in Louisiana, while Northrop Grumman is successfully deploying robotic satellite-servicing pods. Conversely, Zimmerman criticizes "leftist governments" in the UK and Australia for stifling their domestic space industries with excessive red tape and "meaningless bureaucratic jargon," which forces young aerospace talent to seek opportunities abroad. (7)Bob Zimmerman highlights the "bankruptcy" of modern academia, citing a study where half of social science papers failed replication tests. He discusses an upcoming Falcon 9 rocket impact on the moon scheduled for August 5th and new data from the Juno mission revealing Io's subsurface temperatures. Additionally, scientists are investigating whether a suspected asteroid is actually a failed 1980s Soviet Mars probe, although Zimmerman remains skeptical of speculative theories involving alien technology. (8)Henry Sokolski examines a proposed deal to provide Saudi Arabia with nuclear power that has sparked intense proliferation concerns. While the Department of Energy initially signaled a "green light," the Trump administration later conditioned the agreement on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords. Sokolski warns that without "Additional Protocol" inspections, the kingdom could use the technology to develop a "bomb option." This follows the Crown Prince's 2018 assertion that Saudi Arabia would seek nuclear weapons if Iran acquired them. (9)Henry Sokolski continues: the Saudi nuclear deal remains "contradictory," with the White House and Department of Energy appearing out of sync. Media criticism reportedly prompted the president to demand a "quid pro quo"—Saudi recognition of Israel—to justify the proliferation risks. Israel remains in a difficult position; while desiring normalization, it privately opposes a Saudi nuclear program that could trigger a regional arms race. The deal's progress depends on whether it is submitted to Congress by late September. (10)Peter Huessy explains "extended deterrence," the U.S. nuclear umbrella protecting allies from aggression. Huessy critiques a proposal to delegate nuclear authority to a "three-key" system involving France and the UK, arguing it would create dangerous indecision during a crisis. He notes that allies increasingly doubt U.S. resolve. Strategy has shifted toward "counterforce" targets, aiming to disable an enemy's leadership and military capability rather than destroying cities, to provide "flexible response" options. (11)Peter Huessy notes Russia holds a 20-to-1 advantage over the U.S. in "theater" or tactical nuclear weapons, which Putinuses for "nuclear blackmail" to keep NATO out of the Ukraine conflict. Huessy argues the U.S. must deploy survivable, sea-based theater weapons to restore a credible deterrent. Reflecting on the realistic horror of the 1984 film Threads, he warns that even a single tactical exchange could rapidly escalate into a global catastrophe that ends civilization. (12)Captain James Fanell reports China is escalating physical violence against Philippine Navy personnel at Second Thomas Shoal, including "poking, prodding, and beating" sailors. Fanell explains this "petulant" behavior coincides with the 10th anniversary of a Hague ruling that invalidated China's maritime claims. Simultaneously, China and Russiaconducted joint live-fire drills in Japan's exclusive economic zone. These coordinated actions signal Beijing's intent to ignore international law and forcibly challenge the sovereignty of its neighbors. (13)Captain James Fanell reports China recently conducted its first submarine-launched ballistic missile test in the South Pacific in 40 years. Fanell reports that China has shifted to a "first use" nuclear policy and is completing its triad with the H-20 stealth bomber. He uses the "boiling frog" analogy to describe China's incremental aggression, warning that the U.S.must recognize these self-evident intentions before a "shot" is taken against regional forces or allies like Taiwan. (14)Conrad Black disputes Prime Minister Mark Carney's characterization of Canada as a "middle power," arguing the term is obsolete for a G7 nation with a larger economy than Russia. He critiques Carney's attempt to foster ties with China, noting China's "tatters" economy and history of disregarding trade agreements. Black maintains that Canada should prioritize its vital relationship with the U.S. while embracing a more ambitious and patriotic view of its global influence. (15)Veronique de Rugy argues autonomous vehicles like Waymo could reduce road fatalities by 94%, yet their adoption is stalled by opposition from trial lawyers and unions. Unions fear job losses for taxi, truck, and delivery drivers, though de Rugy argues automation historically transitions workers into higher-paying, less tedious roles. She emphasizes that driverless cars would provide life-changing accessibility for rural and elderly populations who currently lack reliable transportation options. (16)

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 3 (7.24) Andy is still impressed by how good Waymo’s self-driving cars really are — the first time he rode one in San Francisco, the vehicle pulled over and a remote voice came through the speakers because a passenger wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. It leaves us wondering if Waymos also use remote drivers the way some driverless fleets in Las Vegas do. Andy rants about AI’s effect on the brain: Google now pushes Gemini answers to the top of every search with zero context, and the real robot apocalypse isn’t Terminator-style robots — it’s us lazily handing over our autonomy. The flood of AI-generated slop online is only getting worse. Then it’s time for Andy’s favorite game, Solo to Solo (DJ Greasefire style), where he plays the isolated guitar solo from a classic track and listeners call in to guess the song and artist. First up is a retired pilot calling from LAX who still drives for Uber and admits to drinking on the job — maybe we should set him up with that earlier caller who doesn’t drink, claims she’s not boring, and has a cracking body.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Tesla's Cybercab validation timeline, Tesla Semi FSD Supervised, Alphabet's quiet quarter on Waymo, and the Mobileye CEO stepping down after 27 years.Tesla disclosed 380,000 unsupervised miles, but those miles were logged on Model Y and do not transfer to Cybercab. The new chassis has to earn its own validation miles before commercial service begins, and Tesla is pacing production to that validation rather than building a fleet ahead of it. The ramp is slower than the market expects.Best case, that puts Tesla at 100 cars in Austin or a Florida market by year end. Elon Musk also offered an aggressive timeline for autonomy on the Semi, where Tesla is the OEM and removes the largest structural risk in autonomous trucking, creating an overhang for Aurora and every capital dependent competitor.Alphabet reported Other Bets revenue of $380 million against a loss of $1.8 billion, with the smallest amount of Waymo commentary from Sundar Pichai in roughly six quarters and no milestone announced. Mobileye is abandoning its asset light model for full vertical integration, putting it in direct competition with the OEMs it needs as customers.On the Foreign Autonomy Desk, Momenta secured approval for driverless commercial operations in Shenzhen as China resumes issuing robotaxi permits.Episode Chapters0:00 380,000 Unsupervised Miles and What That Number Leaves Out03:13 The 250,000 Validation Miles Cybercab Still Has to Earn05:22 Cybercab Production Is Pacing to Validation Miles10:20 Tesla Semi FSD Coming Soon (Maybe Year End?)14:29 The Case for Vertical Integration16:24 Reading the Fine Print on Aurora's Driverless Announcement22:22 Alphabet's Other Bets and the Waymo Spin Non Answer25:50 How Tesla Runs Airport Curbside Pickups in California27:44 Zoox Recalls Software That Could Not Handle Smoke30:15 Mobileye Abandons Asset Light for Vertical Integration36:14 Foreign Autonomy Desk: China Resumes Robotaxi PermitsFollow The Road to Autonomy Indices--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.
