My colleague Katie Bindley lives in San Francisco.
She's a tech reporter and therefore has taken a special joy in observing Waymos,
the self-driving robot taxis that are all over the city.
I was lucky enough to have Waymos training.
kind of all around my apartment for a while.
And there were a lot of nights when, yeah,
I would be driving home or heading somewhere and it would just be me and like four Waymo's out on the road.
I love how you said, I'm lucky enough to be in a neighborhood where Waymo's are trained.
Is that really like a stroke of luck?
Well, I mean, it was really entertaining.
Like I remember one night, I was driving home, and it was like this extremely foggy,
you know, kind of moody night, and I pulled up at a stoplight next to a Waymo.
There were no passengers in it.
And all the windows were down, and they were blaring the song Creep.
Do you guys remember that song?
Like, so a creep.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The car was just listening to TLC.
Yeah, having like a chill ride through the neighborhood.
