Much of the tariff reporting seems to miss an important point...the just-announced levies are incremental to existing tariffs. I.e., US tariffs on Chinese goods are now 10 ppts higher than they were before, with those existing tariffs varying widely by product category

Yeah this piece has a clear agenda, but it's worth reading to see a guy like Tumlin praise Waymo's driving. Another highlight: Kyle Vogt's comment to him, which some might say is the dumbest entitled-tech-bro comment ever

We're in Brazil with family at the moment -- with one eye on CES (Tekedra/Waymo keynoting tonight), and the other eye watching the Pacific Palisades fire (our home is in the fire/evac zone in Rustic Canyon). Fingers/toes crossed here

Third parties assess Waymo's driving performance ~90% safer than humans, while 3P studies of Tesla show, well, not that I guess...

There's a lot that goes into developing the world's most experienced driver -- you can engage as deeply as you like on the blog. Curious to know why you consider any of the data to be cherry-picked. The methodology is transparent, they publish the raw data, and 3Ps have reviewed it.

Pretty cool that the Petersen Museum is letting their guests compare multiple generations of real functioning Waymo robotaxis to a single non-functional fake Tesla robotaxi
