Is Waymo finally scaling up its self-driving and robotaxi services exponentially?
No.
For compariso's sake, waymo claimed to be doing 50k rides per day back in July and Uber did 2.12 billion rides in 2023 or just under 40.8 million rides per day. Waymo is still a gadget, they still don't have a general application to solving fully autonomous driving, let alone doing so everywhere.
So this news is either very very late and only meant for sensationalism, or the previous note about 50k rides per day was a complete fabrication based on a one time peak rate. Either way, one of them is nonsense which means neither of them is really meaningful.
