A Waymo robotaxi in California hit a child, a 10-year-old girl, this week. That headline is, naturally, going to get people’s blood boiling and fears soaring.

Tesla has now published its 4th quarter and full-year financial details and various updates on vehicle models, robots, factories, and its energy business.

Just when you thought you knew all the robotaxi startups out there and the door was closing for any new entrants, here’s another one! And it’s coming in with a bang! Maybe some of you had spotted Waabi already, but I certainly hadn’t. The news today, though, is this robotaxi ... [continued]

Nearly a decade ago, I gave a presentation at EVBox’s rEVolution conference in Amsterdam.
