Not too much new in this article, except reiterating that the robotaxi service is going to launch.

I hope that it’s open to the public and we get to see lots of YouTube videos. But it might be a closed beta.

It's another welcoming news. Incrementally, it's getting better.

Current beta program forbids free-riders to comment for the public. Hopefully, this time, paid-riders are free to comment.

I suspect that the routes are well geofenced and no deviations are allowed.

For an incremental progress, that is not too bad as most people drive the same exact commuting route.

Interesting times we live in, I imagine Tesla and others won't be far behind. Curious to see how this all works out for those that are currently unable to drive for various reasons.
