.@Uber is targeting 700 robotaxis on its platform by year-end. More than 500 of those robotaxis are @Waymo today and they are going away in the future. This week on Autonomy Markets, @gbrulte and @WaltLightShed analyze Uber's fleet targets, @Tesla's shift from Cybertruck to Cybercab, and the race to scale autonomy globally.

One minute apart in Las Vegas, @Zoox told us “It's busy" and @Waymo said a car could arrive in 5 minutes. Field work unlocks ground-truth.

34 badged Robotaxis and four unbadged Cybercab validation vehicles in Orlando. We visited the @Tesla service center, the planned depot site, and rode in @Robotaxi. While the service area is small today, the pieces are being put in place for a major expansion. This is the Field Report.

Japan is writing pedal-less, steering-wheel-free robotaxis into a unified certification framework starting in December. Japan's goal is 10,000 Level 4 vehicles by fiscal 2030. With @Waymo partnering with @ToyotaMotorCorp and @Wayve_AI together with @Nissan, the path is there. As Japan goes all-in on autonomy, @RobGsix and @gbrulte analyze what it means for the global autonomy economy on Autonomy Signals presented by @KPMG.

A dark money group has spent $2.6 million on anti-robotaxi ads in DC, more than either top mayoral candidate spent. @RobGsix and @gbrulte analyze the situation on Autonomy Signals presented by @KPMG.

A dark money campaign is trying to stop robotaxis in the United States as Japan embraces full autonomy. These dark money groups have spent over $2.6 million on ads in DC trying to stop autonomy, roughly the same amount the two top mayoral candidates spent combined. Now the question is who is behind this effort. This week on Autonomy Signals presented by @KPMG, @gbrulte and @RobGsix analyze what it means for the global autonomy economy. Episode Chapters 0:00 KPMG Sponsor Introduction 1:58 Signal 1: Dark-Money Coalitions Are Trying to Stop Robotaxis 37:01 Signal 2: Japan Greenlights Full Autonomy 55:02 Signal 3: Cleared for Autonomous Takeoff

Tune into Autonomy Signals today as @gbrulte and @RobGsix discuss Japan’s all-in autonomy strategy. 🇯🇵
This week in Japan I met many Government officials. What resonated in every conversation: importance of self-driving for national strategy, belief in end-to-end AI, desire to bring autonomy broadly, especially to rural and aging population and kei cars! @wayve_ai will support!

25 minutes. More than a dozen requests and cancellations and no Waymo. @gbrulte played autonomy roulette on @Lyft in downtown Nashville, trying to get paired with a @Waymo. At one point, the app matched him with a driver 68 minutes away. This is the Field Report.
