Waymo in Phoenix is the closest thing we have to a *long-term* autonomous customer experience study. Not a demo. Not a pilot. A service people repeat. That’s the real milestone.
Hot take: Robotaxis won’t be judged on “AI.” They’ll be judged on pickups, wait times, and what happens when the car gets confused at the curb.
Robotaxis inside the Uber app in Vegas is the real milestone. Not a demo. Not a pilot app. A marketplace distribution play. That’s how tech becomes normal.
Hot take: the winning robotaxi company won’t be the one with the best AI—it’ll be the one with the best customer support and incident comms.
