Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving unit, is balancing privacy and safety by resisting unwarranted law enforcement requests for data from its camera-laden robotaxis. Co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana stresses building community trust amid growing scrutiny. This approach aims to foster adoption while addressing ethical concerns in urban transportation.
Tesla expanded its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, to include Gigafactory Texas, covering nearly the entire city at 173 square miles and surpassing rival Waymo. This move enhances FSD data collection amid competition and regulatory scrutiny. It positions Austin as a key testing ground for Tesla's autonomy ambitions.
